PARIS, March 1.-THE work OF
bodies of American soldiers who died
in France, was completed today with
a final shipment of 1,500 bodies from
Brest for New York. This brings
the total number OF American bodies
returned to 1923
The simple announcement Of the
close of one of the most trying and
difficult problems ever placed before
the American army The American
Graves Registration Service, the spe.
ciaa branch OF the army organized
for the purpose, began work in Feb
ruary, 1920
Agents OF unat service will now
go to England and assemble 81 Amer.
lean bodies destined for shipment to
America. These We're American sol.
ders who died in widely-scattered
parts of ireland, Scotland, Wales and
England. Five hundred other bod
les of Americans whose relatives
have decided to leave them in Eng
land, will be concentrated in a beau
tiful little permanent cemetery at
Brookwood. Surrey, England, the Brit

This work win be completed by July.

reduced to about 100000.

St. Quentin; BelleAu Wood, near Cha

Romagne cemetery, near Romagne-

For the latter a scheme has been
worked out which Will make 1t very
much like Arlington cemetery. Each
cemetery Is to have a rest house
and chapel for visitors and every
grave will be marked with a uni

Touching Features
One of-the most touching features
OF the four cemeteries has been the
way in which French people have
made them their own. Sunday never
goes by without scores of French PEG
pie visiting them and placing flow
ers on the graves. This manifesto

caused many relatives to leave the
bodies in France.
