Station
/ eGION POSTS THERE

twenty. seven more of Philadelphia s
war dead arrived in the Reading Terml-
oo this morning.
W. Tho group to greet them was smaller
~, over before. Only few Of the
...,ing crowds in the station saw fit
- .,.nd for n minute with barred heads
.sh;,e the line of baggage trucks passed
along.
r@o;oncy has become the watchword
,'tho oroups of men that handle the
s.ro ~ dead pouring into the city. The
I.,.ogemen understand their duties, as
ysssb % tbs policemen, War Mothers and
%merican Legion representatives, who
msot every load Of bodies that come in
here.
The dismal day. heavy enough to
torre the smoke in the trainshed down
around d the line of flag covered caskets,
sccentrated the mournfulness of to-
day's consignment.
There must have been something in
tho mechanical efficiency that moved
ono little woman in black who stood
line of those who were 10 formation
70 allow the bodies to pass through. She
stood there. most evidently waiting for
something that she did not want to see.
Each time military voice cried out
''Present Arms, Order Arms" she shiv-
cred. As each buriy baggage master
came along tugging truck that had
no procession Of mourners behind It
she peered anxiously at the name on
the exposed end of the casket..
Suddenly she turned and ran. Liter
ally she ran out Of the station. Who
ever she came to meet went unmet.

to meet their dead this morning were
