CARE GIVEN u. s.
GRAVES OVER SEA
Army Is In Charge of
Four Soldier Gene
terles
BY MILTON BRoNNER.

PARIS, July with reverence
and respect, the bodies of American
soldiers, who fell fighting in France
are being cared for overseas under
the direction of the American Graves
Registration Service.
The whole job of disinterring and
reburying is being done by ex-ser-
vice men, with American officers in
charge.
A Tremendous Job
Few Americans realize the tre-
mendous Job the Graves Registration
Committee has been doing over here.
In round numbers, about $4,000 Yam
kee soldiers lost their lives in Belgium
and France. Their next of kin had
the option of leaving the remains i'm
France or having them returned to
America for burial in the home
graveyard.
When the work began, it was esti-
mated that sixty per cent of the
bodies would be shipped home as per
request and the remaining 40 pei
cent would be left here. However,
since that time sentiment has chang
ed, many parents and wives feeline
they would prefer to have their dear
ones sleep in the soil they so heroic
yall defended
The result is that it is now estimat-
ed that about so per cent of the de- d
will be buried over here.
To date $4,000 bodies have been
shipped back to America, going at
the rate of 5000 per month. It is
expected that all bodies requested
will be shipped back by late fall. The
remainder will have been buried in
the official soldier graveyards in
France by the end Of next winter.
Four Yankee Graveyards
There are to be four graveyards
which will be kept very much like oul
national cemetery at Arlington
Heights across the river from Wash
ington.
The American national graveyards
in France will be at Suresnes, which
is near Paris; at Romagne, which is
in the Argonne; at Belleau Wood and
| at Bony on the Aisne. The latter
will be known as Flanders Field There
will be q simple headstone for each
soldier, giving his name, organiza.
| ton and date of DEATH There vii
be a cross over the grave of Christ
ians and a Star of David over .he
graves Of Jews.
The cemeteries are now absolutely
closed to tourists. At the present
time, with burials going on, it is not
felt proper to allow strangers tC
come into the cemeteries to satisfy {
morbid curiosity to sight-see, Blu
all relatives of American soldier!
buried i'm these cemeteries are allow
ed to visit them by securing specia
written permission at the Grave:

CHAIRMAN WHITE IN
PARTY PROCLAMATION

WASHINGTON, July 4.-Ghair-
man George White, of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, has is
sued the following proclamation to
the members of the party:
This, our Nations Birthday, our
most patriotic holiday, seems an ap-
propriate time for me to make
statement concerning national con-
ditions and the attitude of our party
whose founders We're the most con-
spicuous of the nations founders.
Throughout the nation there is
much present uneasiness and much
apprehension for the future; the
reasons are political, which is my
reason for making this statement.
'More than two years ago world
peace was made at Versailles, but
for partisan political reasons this
nation is not yet at peace with the
enemy nations of the war, which
admittedly cannot be made by
congressional 4@sdlu'tioE Business
has reached such depression that
bitter complaints are heard from the
business world. Foreign trade has
declined almost to the vanishing
point. Agriculture is prostrate.
Taxation and governmental expen-
ditures are at the maximum in our
history The tremendous percentage
of idleness in the ranks Of labor is
almost unprecedented.
For more than two years the re-
publican party has been in charge
of the legislative branch of the gov
ernment; for four months it has been
in actual charge of all departments of
the government, but it has not rem
edied nor alleviated these conditions,
and, so far, has failed of any mate
rial accomplishment. The people are
losing confidence in the ability of
the present national administration
to provide adequate remedies for the
conditions described.
During the period of the repubH-
can party's return to power the dem
ocratic party's attitude towards it's
opponent has been constructive, not
obstructive; helpful, not harmful,
and it has given the party in power a
fair chance.
81 take this patriotic occasion to
congratulate and compliment +ha
democratic party upon its attitude
toward the republican administra-
ton; on its forbearance towards the
executive and its efforts of con-
structive helpfulness in legislation,
placing the interests Of the country
above partisan interest, again proving
its moral and political integrity, its
true patriotism and it's devotion to
the interests Of the nation and its
people"
