EXHUMING Us. DEAD
is SLOW IN GERMANY
Many Graves Are Unmarked
and Other Difficulties Are
Experienced.

BERLIN, July 1.-THE work of ex-
huming the bodies of the American SOL
diers who died as prisoners of war in
Germany has developed such difficulties
that some uncertainty attaches TO the
identity of the few which have been un-
earthed from among the unnamed Ger
man and other dead in the cemeteries
near the old prison camps.
Many OF the graves were unmarked
and the names of the men buried in
some places We're unknown. so that
much guesswork entered into the task
of the American Graves Registration
Service. in charge of two American
army officers. which has superintended
the operations.
"The bodies exhumed comprise what
are thought to be the remains of Amer
lean soldiers who died in Germany"
said a member of the registration SER
vice. I'VE shipped fifteen from Leipsic
to Antwerp for transportation to Amer
lea. Our operations have been carried
out in Strasbourg, Stockach Con the
northern end of Lake Constance), Lin
dau-am- Bodensee, Munich. Darmstadt.
Coblenz, Stuttgart and Hindenburg, 81
lesia."
To exhume and remove the single
soldier buried near Hindenburg-in a
flower covered grave shaded by chest
nut trees-it was necessary to obtain
permission from the Interallied High
Commission at Oppeln, the Polish rep
resentatives there, the head of German
self-defence organizations and the leader
of Polish insurgents, for the grave was
In territory held by Polish insurgents
and the trucks of the Americans had to
pass between lines Of fighting Germans
and Poles A member of the American
military mission in Berlin negotiated
and obtained assurances that the Amer
lean party would not be molested.
Two bodies were exhumed near Ber-
lin, one in Tuchel, Poland, and another
near Dresden. Capt Eugene M. Dwyer
and Capt. G. Cole have conducted the
work with civilian personnel of twen-
ty-four men. comprising chauffeurs, en-
balmers and technical assistants.

OIL FIGHT IN HOUSE
TO BE CLOSE TO-DAY
Saturdays Stormy Debate
Over Putting Crude Upon
Free List to Continue.
DECISIVE VOTE THURSDAY
Foes Of Dye Embargo and OPP
pOnents of Hides Duty Still
Are Hopeful.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-After a Sun
days rest the House tomorrow will en-
ter the last week of consideration of the
Fordney tariff bill with the most highly
controversial of all paragraphs in the
rneasure-the duty on oil-staring it In
the face
House members gave some considera-
ton TO oil yesterday and a resumption
of the discussion. it was declared by
leaders tonight. obviously will continue
the heated debate which followed in
PRODUCTION of the Treadway amendment
to put crude oil and fuel oil on the free
list.
Under the special rule governing con-
sideration of the tariff bill a final vote
Is due late Thursday In the meantime.
however. the House must dispose of the
oil question. and take separate votes on
raw cotton and asphalt
Whether cotton should be transferred
to the dutiable list presents another
problem likely to cause a stormy session
and leaders said it probably would be a
repetition OF the fight for duty on
hides. Democratic members from cotton
growing States announced after informal
conferences to-day that almost a solid
party vote would be cast against the
Republican amendment providing a duty
of 10 per cent. ad valorem on raw cotton.
Outlining the position of the minority
on the cotton amendment Representative
Garrett (Tenn.). acting Democratic
leader. declared the 'iniquity of the pro-
posal was glaringly apparent" in view
Of the admission by Republican mem
bers of the Ways and Means Committee
that 1t would not Increase the price paid
to the farmer for his product, and that
'the only excuse for the tax was to en-
able Republicans to increase the duty
on cotton goods
Consideration of the tariff bill thus
far has been in committee of the whole.
and. therefore. before the final vote is
taken 1t Is possible for the membership
to vote again on the five contested sched-
ules-hides. dyes, oil. cotton and asphalt.
For the reason that another vote can
be had opponents of the dye embargo
provisions. as well as those opposed to
a duty on hides, have high hopes of
forcing the House to reverse its previous
action.
None OF the leaders would hazard a
guess concerning the result Of the vote
on the oil duty which is expected to-
morrow

FABRE LINER MISSED
COLLISION BY S FEET
Spanish Freighter Ignored
Whistle During Fog.

That the Fabre liner Providence was
saved from a collision in a fog in the
Mediterranean by margin of only
five feet was learned yesterday when the
vessel docked n Brooklyn. Capt. Noel
Marcantelli Of the Providence said he
was on the bridge when Spanish
freighter loomed up, and gave the signal
to go to starboard. The freighter paid
no attention to this or another whistle
and Capt. Marcanterri gave his own
vessel full speed astern. The Spanish
vessel just cleared the bows Of the
Providence. She went on in the fog
without signalling.
H. w. Major of Chicago. who was at
the Russian border In charge of Red
Cross work, said that 90 per cent. Of
those coming out of Russia were dissat-
isfed with Soviet rule. Another pas
senser was Mgr. B. J. Mahouey. director
of the North American College at Rome.
on his way to visit his home in Albany.
The Providence made the trip In ten
days and two hours, seven hours better
than her previous record.

BRENNAN'S PNEUMONIA
ATTACK IS SLIGHT
Mrs. Sfillman's Counsel Must
Take Long Rest.

John f. Brennan OF Yonkers. counsel
for Mrs. Anna U. Stillman in her defence
of the action for divorce brought by
James A. Stillman. was reported in his
home last night to be resting comforta-
bly, following the diagnosis of his ILL
ness as pneumonia. The attack is a
comparatively light one. according to
Mr.. Brennan's physicians. but he cannot
be said to be out of danger for several
days.
DR.. p. S. Mccormick, the family ply
sician. said Mr.. Brennan was resting
we'll and in little pain. When he
has recovered he probably will take a
long rest, which will prevent him from
appearing in court for several weeks.
Mrs. Stillman has sent several messages
inquiring as to Mr.. Brennan's condition.

BEER BILL DELAYS
THREATEN A FLOW
Treasury Warns That Palmer
Ruling Will Be Put Into Eff
feet Unless Congress Acts.
SENATE FIGHT is SERIOUS
Sentiment for Measure Weak
er, but 1t Still Seems to
Have Small Majority.
Special Despatch to THE New York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. C.. July II. J

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. C.. July IL.
The Treasury Department again has
warned Republican leaders of Congress
that the bill prohibiting medicinal beer
must be passed In the near future or
the Palmer ruling. which says there Is
nothing in the volstead law to prohibit
the prescription of the beverage. must
oe put into effect.
The ruling. which should have been
promulgated two months ago. has been
held up on repeated assurances that the
anti-beer bill would be enacted promptly.
About two weeks ago the department
was ready to issue the ruling and allow
medicinal beer sales. Republican Leader
Mondell rushed up to Secretary MELONS
office, and the ruling was held up. when
the former said the bill would be passed
by the House within q few days. This
was done.
Unexpected opposition, which has
caused the Anti-Saloon League leaders
considerable worry, arose in the Senate.
Sentiment for the bill is much weaker
than It was two weeks ago, but indica-
tions are the measure still has small
majority in the Senate. With the in
creased opposition. those who are now
legally entitled to manufacture and sell
medicinal beer are pressing the depart
,nent for the PRONUNCIATION of the ruling.
Court action is threatened. and 1t is ad-
mitted II this comes the Treasury De-
partment would be forced to allow beer
sales. Senator Sterling Is d. will seek
to have the bill passed by the Senate
this week.
The anti-beer bill after II Is passed. Is
certain to be attacked In the courts and
several prominent lawyers in Congress
who have voted consistently for prohibit
ton. believe it is clearly unconstitu-
tional.
Representative Volstead (Minn.),
veteran dry legislator, has been put In
an embarrassing position by the move
ment emanating from his district to
legalize the manufacture and sale OF
2.75 barley malt beer as a means of
providing a better market for the large
amount of barley raised in Minnesota.
Charles Kenny. representing a farmers
elevator association in Mr.. Volsteads
district. will confer with him this week
regarding the legislation. Mr.. volstead
would make no comment tonight on the
movement.
Should sufficient farmers sign the
petitions which M. Kenny will clrcu-
late throughout the barley growing
States and the Department of Agricul-
ture or some other Government bureau
make an official finding that 2.75 per
cent beer is Notwithstanding. as
claimed by the representatives OF the
farmers. the legislation might have a
chance of being enacted, although here
toforc all proposals for light beer have
been defeated by big majorities.

OF POLISH CONFERENCE
Refusal of Compromise Plan
Expected by League.

GENEVA, July 17.-The Lithuanian
delegation informed the League of Ma
tion that the Lithuanians would be un-
able to attend the proposed Polish
Lithuanian conference at Brussels,
which it was planned to hold to-day
They added. however. that the Lithua-
nian answer would be submitted within

that Lithuania is becoming daily less
anxious to negotiate a. settlement Of the
dispute with Poland.
