so PER CENT OF
AMERICAN DEAD
T0BE EXHUMED.
seventy-one Thousand
American Troops Believed
Buried in France.

Paris, Aprils- 1s.-Representatives
Of the American war department
here estimate that about 60 per cent
Of the American soldiers buried in
France will be exhumed and taken
back to their native land. A little
more than 10000 American burials
have been registered by the Graves
registration service and about II 900
Of these are in France
Not all of these soldiers will be re-
turned to American soil as the Unit
ed States war department proposes to
carry back to America only those re-.
quested by their next of kin. This
policy will result in leaving in France
those whose next of kin ask that,
they be left here and those whose
removal is not requested. 1t is un-
derstood also that the unidentified
American dead will be left in France.
Decislon by the Franco-American
commission that bodies of American
soldiers buried in the zone of mill.
tary operations may be cxhumed any
time after September is next ends
long period of negotiations between
French and American authorities.
The French government desired to
meet the wishes of the American na-
as to the advisability of removing the
American dead from the zone of o..
erations this year owing to labor and
transportation difficulties involving
, the passing of the bodies over the
railways and highways at. a time
when the French population was in
the first stage of its recovery from
the economic and sentimental strain
| of five years of war. The French
| government feared that the granting
/ of such permission to America would
bring on clamorous agitation from
other nations for. similar permission
and that this would hamper the re-
habilitation Of French industrial con-
/ ditions
| American officers. however have
vigorously urged that the number
of Americans in the zone of opera
tions was relatively small; that the
traditional policy of the United States
! was to return its dead from foreign
soil and that the American govern
ment could do no less than heed the
pleas of those next of kin who in
sisted that the bodies of their rela-
tives be returned to their homes.

Five Opposing Factions
Fighting Continually in
Szechuen.

Shanghai. April O.-Szechuen,
most populous of China's provinces
with extensive and varied resources
an3 almost unlimited areas of soil of
the greatest productivity, is bandit
ridden and is torn with the strife
of five opposing governing factions
that seemingly are beyond the con-
troll of the Canton government to
which Szechuen is supposed to pay
allegiance. This is the report
brought to Shanghai by foreigners
who have recently been travelling in
the province.
The country along the main high
ways, according to these reports, is
overrun with bands of armed out
laws and it Is only possible for the
foreigners to travel these byways in
any degree of safety by first buying
protection and immunity from moles-
tation from bandit leaders who con-
troll the various areas. When the
traveller asks for an armed guard this
is provided-for a consideration
This guard must be changed when
the traveller enters the area con-
trolled by another military official
BY following this procedure. trav-
farer is ordinarily safe, but it hap
pens sometimes that the spheres OF
control Of the leaders overlap and
travellers who have bought protection
in one area are at times attacked by
bandits whose leaders have not beer
appeased.
The consideration required to pro-
vide a guard for traveller is no
particularly heavy, as it is said to bt
about so cents a day per guard. Or
dinarily travellers who do fall int
the hands of outlaws do not suffer
bodily harm, but it is not uncom
mon for native servants to be muir
dered and cases exist in which for
eigners have been taken and held fo'
ransom.

Without Letup.

Warsaw, May 6.-(By the Associat-
ed Press)-Bolshevik troops fighting
in the defense of the city Of kiev
have strengthened their resistance
considerably during the last "a hours.
The battle for the possession of the
city still is raging; according to lat

The fighting is said to be particu-
larly severe northeast of the city.
where the Bolsheviki are using artil-
'lery stationed just behind the front
line entertainments. Other heavy
guns are stationed at the bridgehead
territory there and are directing. a
heavy fire against the attacking Po-
lish and Ukrainian troops.
1t is assumed the Soviet army is
bringing up artillery from east of the
Dnieper river, as shell fire is gradual
ly increasing as additional pieces are
placed in position. Railroad and
highway bridges in front of Kiev
were destroyed by the retreatng Boil
sheviki but they are being rapidly
repaired by the Poles.

the treaty provided for investigation
of the st. Lawrence project.
The plan proposed is for straight

a distance of less than nineteen nau-
tical miles across but with six locks
necessary to care for the 325 foot fai!

George Clinton OF Buffalo, who
