FINAL RESTING
PLACES CHOSEN
More Than 10000 Americans
Will Sleep Forever in
France.

~ United P,ets.,
Pans, MAY 4.-More than thirty thou
sand bodies Of American soldiers will liz
forever in French soil. Four bits d
French sod have been chosen as the fina
resting places for the bodies-four bit
of France that will remain forever
America. The permanent fields d
honor viii be Romagne. Belleau, Fland
ers Field near Bony and Suresnes Or
the outskirts Of Paris.
A commission headed by Col. c. c
Pierce. has arrived from the United
States and approved the choice Of the
four permanent cemeteries. The com
mission. which is composed Of ". NJ
Kendall, c. VI. Moore, James Grenleli
and Mai. George Gibbs. architects and
artists, are inspecting the sites with a
view to recommendations for beaulif,
ing these fields TO make them the most
beautiful burying places in Europe.
The Romagne field will hold the ma
jority Of the bodies of men killed IN the
Argoune fighting in all; the Bel.
leau field on the hillside near Bellelu
Wood will contain 1000 bodies; Sures-
nes will hold 4.3O0, including many
bodies Of wounded who died in Paris
hospitals. while Flanders Field will con
tain 2l00
At present the American Graves Reg
isiraiion Service is engaged in disenier-
iag the bodies intended for shipment
back to the United States. Up to the
present 1900 bodies have been disin-
tered and shipped. Nearly five thousand
bodies are lying at the ports awaiting
transport. By October, all the bodies
requested for shipment back home will
have been skipped. Then the Graves
Registration Service will begin the task
Of concentrating the remaining bodies
in the four permanent fields.
More than 100 Americans are engaged
in various paris of France and Belgium
IN disiniering the bodies for shipment.
By October about 5000 bodies viii
have been shipped. The Eearest Of kin
Of 1891 have specifically requested that
the bodies remain in France. The Others
for which there is no specific request
for shipment home will remain also.
When finally completed the perma-
nent cemeteries will resemble the natlon-
al cemeteries in the United Staies-long,
precise rows Of grassy mounds with
spacious walks between. At the head
of each grave will be a stone marker
with the name and organization Of the
soldier living beneath.
The permanent fields are being de-
signed as shrines for Americans in Eu
rope for all time to come. Already nun
drcds of friends and relatives Of the
fallen are flocking TO the graves.
The American Army will probably
have a lower percentage Of unidentified
dead than any allied country. The
Graves Registration Service expects
eventually to identify all except very
few bodies.

GARDENING Has COME
TO BE An ART AMONG
FACULTY MEMBERS

With the coming Of spring men turn
TO different forms Of recreation. 1t IS
the time Of year when men feel energetic
and are willing to tackle almost any
kind Of work. Many so-called pleasures
in April become difficult, tasks in the
later summer months. Hence it is that
hundreds Of well-siaried gardens are de
voured by weeds and produce few vege-
tables of any real worth.
Gardening. among the faculty mem
bers Of the University, has come TO be
an art instead Of a pleasure When the
war started and garden propaganda was
spread broadcast by the government, the
faculty members of colleges and universi-
lies throughout the country we're the first
class to respond. Unlike the many per-
sons who started gardens, that raised lit
tie, the faculty members created gardens
that produced.
According to ]. T. Rosa. of the horii-
cultural department Of the College of
Agriculture, the faculty members Of the
University have become real gardners.
Such men as A. {. Ragsdale, Of the dairy
department; W. C. Etheridge, Of the farm
crops department; DR.. W. c. Curtis, of
the biology department: DR.. Mazyck
Ravcnel; and Prof. L. NJ. Defoe have
for the last few years raised gardens that
have been extremely profitable.
gardens by the early frosts this year Mr.
Ross said that many Of the vegetables
planted had been destroyed However,
according to Mr.. Rosa, the frosts Oc-
CURED early enough SO that practically
all gardens affected can be replanted.
The frost showed US said Mr.. Rosa
the folly of planting tender stuff in
stead Of concentrating on the more hardy
forms of produce"

GERMANS NOT RESPONSIBLE
Sinking of American Ship CyclOps
Denied by Admiralty.

~ Unife4 Prsu.
BERLIN, May 4.-The theory that a
German submarine or mine was respon-
sible for the unsolved disappearance Of
the American collier Cyoiops in West
Indian waters, was refuted today by the
admiralty.
Neither German submarines nor mines
were in that vicinity when the CyclOps
met its fate. according to the admiralty
which added, that were that the case, it
would not now hesitate to make the fact
known.
As to the theory that a German agent
may have placed bomb aboard, the Of
fetal stated that nothing was known here
Of such action. but he assumed that, had
such thing happened, some traces oi
wreckage from the Cyclops would have
been picked up later.

MODES OF TRAVEL CHANGE
Autos Replace Bicycles and Back
boards for School Goers.

A decade ago the high school studen;
came TO school on a bicycle or in the
blackboard. The less fortunate ones came
on foot. Now the less fortunate ones
still come on foot, but the other modes
Of transportation have vanished. In their
stead can be seen automobiles Of every
age and make.
Students of the Columbia High School
say that in good weather there are be-
tween twenty-five and thirty cars parked
around the school. Most of them be.
longing to students of this city but
few show the wear Of travel on country
roads.

The wearing Of hats by the goods Of
the University seems to have become the
style in the last few, weeks. especially
among those who have bobbed hair.
Probably the fair damsels here have
come 10 the same conclusion that the
Young women Of the University Of Kan
sas have. that windy and rainy weather
plays havoc with the short strands of the
ariifcially curled locks. They do look
''sweei" when the weather is ideal, but
when the wind and rain come the curIs
come out and the hair protrudes in all
directions.
Those young women who have to rise
twenty minutes earlier in the morning to
dress their hair before making an 8
O'Clock class may sigh for a pair Of
scissors. but the bobbed-haired coniin-
gent cast envious eyes at their sleekly
combed heads.

that recruiting probably will be COM
