The Wrangell sentinel., 1921-05-05

MT. Sutherland refers to a letter written by F. E. Bronson in 1919, explaining the situation, and en- dorses MT. Ludecke's knowledge of the soldiers graves. In clos ing, MT. Sutherland says:
 You will understand that the Wrangell people are prompted solely by patriotic sentiment to honor the memory of men whom the present residents of Wran- gell know but little, and 1 there fore hope that you will see fit to let them have the headStones. y
 In his reply to Delegate Suth- erland, Quartermaster General H. L. Rogers states that instruc- tions will be given for the ship ment of eight headstones which will be inscribed Unknown U. s. Soldier' and one headstone bearing the inscription, 'Un- known U. s. Sailor" all to be of the regulation pattern described in the application forwarded by MT. Bronson. He states further:
 ''This action is taken ir view of the circumstances outlined in the letters inclosed by you which indicate plainly how the identity of ex-soldiers buried in Alaska might be lost, and statement of responsible citizens that the dece- dents were ex-soldiers. ;
 The expense incidental to the removal of the bodies from their present resting place to the Red men plot will be met by the com munity. Wesley Sornberger, him. self a member of the Sons of Vet erans, has shown his interest in the matter by circulating a sub scription list this week. The list is growing steadily. Bids were received for the work of removal and Pat Loftus, whose bid was S14.75, was given the work.

THE WHITE HOUSE
 Washington.
 April 20, 1921.

My dear Mr. Sutherland:
 want to acknowledge, through you, the receipt of the resolutions adopted by the legislature of the Territory of Alaska in which they extend to me a very cordial invi- tation to visit the Territory. l wish you would say to the House 'and Senate, in making reply, that 1 have it very much in mind to come to Alaska early in the au- tumn, provided, of course, the circumstances are such that 1 can conveniently get away from Washington for sufficient period to make such a trip. 1 am deeply interested in Alaska and have had, for half a dozen years, a cherished hope that 1 might have the opportunity of visiting that Territory. It has seemed to me that 1 might more intimately know the situation there and be more helpful Tn influencing the relations of the Federal Govern ment if I could know the Terri tory and something of it's people and resources from a personal visit. 1 am very certain that one of the earliest journeys 1 take, when circumstances permit, will be to your wonderful land. 1 hope it will be possible in September this year. 1 cannot know, of course, at the present time whether the conditions then ex- isting in Washington will justify my absence. l am grateful for the cordial expressions and hope that an early, day will afford me an opportunity to reply in person.
 1 shall be glad, of course, if you will also express word of appreciation to Igloo No. 2l. Pio- neers of Alaska for the cordial suggestion of a visit contained in a letter addressed to you by that organization, under date of April 18th.
 Very truly yours,
 Warren c. Harding. Hon. Dan Sutherland,

Sutherland a letter in answer to the invita- tions, a copy of which was for warded to Mr. Bronson by the Delegate. It reads as follows:
The Wrangell sentinel., 1921-05-05

It will be remembered that in 1919 the citizens of Wrangell by liberal subscription made it pos sibie for the Memorial Day Com mittee to send for the late Ed ward Ludecke, at that time an inmate of the Pioneers Home at Sitka, to visit Wrangell and des- ignate the resting places of men who had served with the 'colors in Army and Navy, his personal knowledge, through many years service as grave digger, being of great value. Armed with the best information then available, this committee applied to Dele gate Wickersham for headstones to mark the graves of those who were declared to be eX-soldiers and sailors, although information giving exact service was not. to be obtained. A prompt reply was made by MT. Wickersham, enclosing blanks to be filled, giv- ing this detailed information which had already been declared unavailable. Another letter was | written the Delegate, asking him to appeal to the War Department for abolition of red tape in the matter, and the forwarding of markers bearing the. inscription,
 Unknown U. s. Soldier.' Short ly after this, the contest made it impossible for Mr. Wickersham to act further. Upon MT. Suth- erland S election as Delegate, the committee resolved to try once more to impress upon the Depart ment the deserts of Wrangell as a loyal Alaska center, and the general desire for the marking of these graves. The result is shown by correspondence be- tween Mr. Sutherland and the Quartermaster General in Wash ington. The gratitude of the community is due to Delegate Sutherland for his'prompt and ef- fective action in this matter which has accomplished the miracle of cutting the Government red tape.
 It is possible that these head stones may arrive by May 30th, and it is hoped that they may mark these graves in plot which the Improved Order of Redmen have generously allotted for the purpose.
 The letter from Mr. Sutherland to the Quartermaster General, written April 20, points out the fact that Wrangell is one of the oldest towns in the Territory and that, as no vital statistics were kept in past years, it is not sur prising that the names of the de- ceased soldiers are unknown.
