German Dead to Remain i'll France
and Belgium.

Berlin. Feb 3.-German soldiers
who died and were buried on Bel
Sian and French battletieldS prob
ably will remain on foreign soil. on
account of the cost entalied IN
bringing them home. This is iEdi-
Gated in statements by tho Official
bureau which is entrusted with the
work of helping relatives to identify
the dead and arrange for the trans
portation Of their bodies TO Ger
many.
Although negotiations w t II
France and Belgium for the re-
moval OF the bodies were concluded
weeks ago, not one German soldier
has been cxhumed for the journey
home. despite the fact that thou-
sands of inquiries have been made
bv relatives. Told that they must
bear the cost of cXhulninS and
transportation. which from France
amounts to 10000 marks, they
turn away. for that sum is now a
large fortune to the average Ger
man.
Consequently. se!timent is grow
ing to allow the German soldier
dead to rest on the fields where
they were buried or in the French
or Belgian cemeteries to which
they have been transferred. The
information that the French are
carefully tending these burial
places and. where possible. marking
the individual graves with crosses
and names also has tended to allay
) the feeling that these dead should
not remain in Il strange land.
Under the stipulations agreed
upon. none of the three govern
ments assumes responsibility for
mistakes. and the relative must
give a guarantee Of identity before
permission is granted for removal.
which in tie majority OF cases is
very difficult The German office
carries on negotiations With the
Belgians and French TO this end.
which sometimes requires several
weeks.
Even those relatives who cannot
or do not desire to bring the dead
soldier back TO the Fatherland are
seeking to establish the identity OF
the fallen. and The bureaus opened
in Prussia, Bavaria. SaXony and
Wuerttembure to help them. arc
