tion to the government, or without in
terfering with the duties of the men
composing the firing squad.
During the past year there have
been 1884 of our overseas dead in.
tered in beautiful Arlington National
cemetery.
Telegrams announcing the date on
which interments will take place in
Arlington, are sent to relatives by the
chief of the cemeterial division who
further advises that should they at
tend the funeral ceremonies. and
should they so desire, all information
and assistance concerning hotel accom-
mediation and transportation to Arling-
ton will be given them by the Travel
ers' Aid society representatives who
are on duty In the Union station In
Washington.
The splendid, efficient and sympa
thetic assistance Of this society has
been q blessing to the relatives Of the
dead
The District of Columbia chapter Of
the Red Cross, at their headquarters
on jackson square, receive all the out
of-town relatives and friends who
come to attend these services, and
on Mondays and Thursdays, special
luncheons are served for them. They
also provide notorious transportation
to Arlington cemetery and return.
The interest of the Red Cross does
not stop there, for It has made special
arrangement with the quartermaster
general and the cemeterial division to
have large canvas tents pitched at or
near the places where the burials take
place. Several women representing
the Red Cross are always In these
tents to receive the relatives and
friends and to make them comfort
able, or to let them rest until the hour
arrives for the services which is an
nounced by the measured tread Of tho
military companies detailed for this
duty from the command at Fort Myer
The detail with fits band, its buglers
and itS firing squad. is always accom-
panied by at least two chaplains, one
Protestant and the other Roman
Catholic, and when necessary a Rabbi
is there, to conduct the last rites
Another touching incident connected
with these funerals is the dropping OF
flowers in each grave as the tinal
prayers are said. This loving act is
performed by representatives Of the
War Mothers, who never fail to bC
present when Arlington is receiving
fits overseas dead.
AS we hear the sweetly dOlefu
notes of the band. and listen to the
soft-spoken words of the chaplain, fol
lowed by the musketry salute. we fee
thrill of solemn pride, realization
; that, in hours of need, our countr!
has ever had Its full quota Of thu
; brave and heroic.
The bugler now steps up to thu
grave, and as the notes Of his trumpe
