a headstOne or marker will be pro-
Vided for every American who was
killed or died from sickness while in
the service during the world war.
Many persons have written to men,
bers Of congress asking about this
matter. In answer to a letter from a
North Carolinian on this subject, Sen
ator Simmons Of that state, said:
THE war department is now au-
thor:zed by law to take this action
and in every case where the family
of the dead soldier will apply to the
secretary of war for it the depart
ment will furnish a fine quality of
granite headstone for the soldiers
grave.
THE department will do this not
only in the case of the graves of the
soldiers who gave their lives in bat
tie but headstone viii also be fur
nished upon application for the graves
of any soldiers who died of disease
either before or after discharge from
the service.
II am sure that you will be pleased
to learn these facts and I hope that
you will give them as wide a circula-
tion as practicable among our people.
II hope that not single grave Of
our gallant North Carolina soldiers
will be left unmarked and that appli-
cations will be made in every instance
where the graves have not already
been properly marked by the rela-
tives.''

Who was Krantz? There was a we'll
