Relatives of American soldiers
who fell in France and wish the
bodies of the men to remain in
France, may have them inferred
either in an American or a French
cemetery, according to announce
ment made yesterday by the Graves
Registration Section of the War
Department
1t is the intention of the DEPART
ment to disinter the bodies of men
who are buried in isolated or small
cemeteries and concentrate them In
more central locations. II relatives
wish to have a body removed to an
American cemetery the entire ex.
pense will be borne by the Americas

make use of French cemeteriea
however, must bear the expense OF
obtaining perpetual possession of
the burial plot and provide for the
maintenance of the grave. The Uni
ted States government will pay for
the disinterment and transportation
from the original place of burial
to the. French cemetery.
1t was stated that this policy
would not interfere in any way with
the previously announced intention
to bring back bodies of all those
desired by next of kin in the United

on May 26, 1917. Admiral Sims re-

Questioning Law.
HEARINGS MARCH q

The Supreme Court yesterday was
asked to advance arguments on two
more appeals attacking the validity
Of constitutional prohibition.
The object of the proceedings is
to knock out the prohibition
amendment and the volstead en-
forcement law. A permanent in
junction restraining the Federal
government from enforcing prohibi-
tion in New Jersey is asked in the
bill of complaint.
Part of New Jersey Campaign.
The proceedings are part of the
officials, elected on a wet" plat
form, to defeat prohibition. The
basis of the complaint was that
prohibition was not a valid subject
for a constitutional amendment,
that it infringed on the sovereignty
of the State. and that it could not
be enforced in New Jersey without
the States consent.
The court granted the application
of New Jersey to institute a suit
in the high tribunal attacking
Constitutional prohibition. The
case was set for Monday, March %.
Chief Justice White asked the
government and New Jersey to ex-
pedite arguments on this case, indi-
eating the final decision on the
Rhode Island and other cases al
ready aruged would be delayed I'M
til the New Jersey suit is heard.
Cemments to CompIaint.
d sThe court granted the State per-
mission to file a bill of complaint
against Federal government Off
cials charged with the enforcement
of prohibition. The proceedings are
similar to those brought by Rhode
Island, which are now awaiting the
final decision of the court
As In the Rhode Island case the

made motion to dismiss the bill of
complaint on the grounds that tbere
is no legal basis for it and the Su-

Wilmington, Del. March 1.-THE
equal suffrage amendment will be
ratified by the Delaware lesiglature
through concentrated pressure by
national leaders of the Republican
and Democratic parties.
That Is the consensus of opinion
of Delaware leaders of both parties
interviewed today. Those opposed
to the suffrage amendment say it
will go through. but not without
the bitterest fight ever staged in
Dover.
Democrats whip Action.
Both great parties are making a
play for the prestige Of putting
suffrage over in Delaware. The Will
son administration is taking the
leading hand. A majority of the
Democratic members of the legis-
laturo are described as opposed to
suffrage. but pressure exerted in
Washington will be effective, IL is
said. in whipping the majority of
them into line.
The administration has entered
the fight here on a purely political
basis. That is learned from letters
sent to Democratic leaders by Sec
rotary Baker. Secretary Daniels,
Secretary Houston and Attorney
General Palmer.
Party Necessity.
The letters do not plead the cause
of suffrage merely as a moral re-
form or an act of justice to millions
of women. They urge ratification
as a political and part ynecessity.
