from which they were relayed to the
legion post nearest the place of burial.
The Legion will not confne its ex-
erclses and decorations to the memory
OF World war heroes alone. The
graves of all veterans of all American
wars will be visited and decorated and
httingly honored. Last year the or
ganization requested it's posts and units
OF the Legion auxiliary to seek out, in
each community, graves of all Amer
lean soldier and sailor lead and to
prepare charts showing where such
graves were located and how they
could be reached. The efforts of the
World war men have resulted in many
graves of Civil war veterans being res
cued from obscurity and the graves OF
several veterans of 1912, long since
forgotten, have been found and re-
stored.
Bodies Abroad Cared For.
"A similar plan Of keeping a close
and honored watch on graves of
Americans buried overseas has been
evolved. There will be in France four
principal cemeteries wherein men of
the A. e. F. will sleep forever. At
present a special fine arts commission
is working on the project which will
entail, for the collection of bodies and
the Identification of cemeteries. an
expenditure Of more than 81, OOO,O 900.
These fields of honor will be located
at Belleau Wood, near Chateau
Thierry; Bony, near St. Quentin
Suresnes, near Paris, and Romagne, in
the Argonne, near Montfaucon. More
than 500 Americans will remain buried
In England. A gift of land by the
British government allows for the fu-
ture decoration and care of these
graves. Under plans already advanced
a little cemetery for those Americans
who died in England, Ireland, Scotland
and Wales will be located at Brook
wood, Surrey, England.
This year still fewer of the proud,
white-haired old heroes of '61-'e5 will
bear their colors and their flowers to
the sacred ground where their com
rades are in eternal bivouac. Last
year the thinning ranks were filed
with sturdy, tanned youngsters in
their army drabs and navy blues who
were honoxed to march at the side of
the veteran patriarchs on their holy
mission. The present Memorial day
the hosts Of Grant and Lee all
but dissipated and as the youths of
World war strive for the honored
dles OF the vanished procession, the

posts in France, Belgium, Poland and
Turkey will visit old battlefields and
adjacent cemeteries.
Huge Task Completed.
1.-THE United States graves registra-
tion service has completed its huge
task Of returning to this country the
bodies of 42,023 of the A. E. f. who
died overseas, but 10000 Americans
still remain permanently buried in
cemeteries of the allied nations.
ITO finance the Memorial day dec
Grafton Of graves overseas, each Of the
Legion's 1000 posts was asked to sub
scribe an amount equal to five cents
for each of it's members. A central
committee of the Legion in France will
receive the funds from this country
and have charge of decorating the in
dividual graves.
Several months before Memorial
day Hanford MacNider, national com
mander of the Legion, sent each post
a request that exercises this year be
made as personal as possible. With
this end in view,' Mr.. MacNider
wrote, the Legion is ready to make
special efforts to aid relatives and
friends who think on Memorial day
not so much of the whole army of the
dead as they will Of some one youth
who went forth to fight and did not
come back

Beautiful Spots
in Which Repose
American Soldiers

There is no fairer spot ON all the
hard-fought battle line in France thar
that northern slope of Belleau WOOD
where still rest the bodies of many
brave Americans.
There are plenty of other spots In
France that Americans will always
visit and revisit. The great cemeteries
of Romagne and Suresnes are pOign
ant beyond words. The glory OF
Belleau wood is that here, by the side
of our hallowed dead, stands al a
natural monument to American valor
that jungle Of stone, tree and brush
through which our troops grimly
fought their way in one Of their first
and most critical engagements of the
great war.
Our men fought as brilliantly, as
doggedly, in the Argonne and at a
score of points. Here at Belleau
wood lies a spot that can stand for all,
close by the highroad from Paris to
Chateau-Thierry, not far from the
Marine, and amid a scene of peace and
beauty worthy of its precious and i'm.
mortal burden.
Beautiful Burial Place.
The eight cemeteries in Europe, In
which are 10000 American soldier
dead, are maintained so splendidly
that they are models for the other ma
tons that participated in the World
war. The French secretary of war
recently told Colonel Rethers, In
charge of the graves registration serv-
Ice in Europe, that the American GENE
terry at Romagne was the most i'm
pressive one he had ever seen. The
American government has done all in
its power to make the burial places
beautiful.
Six are In France, one is in Bel
GUM and the other is in England.
Most of the French plots were Sc
lected to commemorate the battles
fought in the vicinities. The GENE
terry at Romagne represents the Ar
gonne fighting, the one at Thiacourt
the battle of st. Mihiel. There is one
at Belleau wood, significant Of the
action there; one at Nesles, about 25
north of Chateau-Thierry one
at Suresnes, near Paris, in which are
buried those who died in the hospi-
ais around Paris, and one at Bony.

To the T~orchbearers

Once more Wen do them honor,
Again Wen sing their praise
These brave who scorned life's pleasures
And lived laborious days.
At last they know the answer
Men find who die to save
The soldiers path of glory
Doth not end at the gravel
The path continues onward
Beyond the gates of dawn;
The Great Adventure leads them
Into a newer morn.
They follow it with ardor
Beyond the Day Stars CLEAN,
And in the cosmic twilight
They find the Fields of Dream.
Weep not for these knights Grant
Who bravely went to roam, >
For they are all together
Safe in the Port of Home.
To us the loss is bitter, :.
But theirs is greater gain;
They ave outsoared earth's~ shadows
OF envy, hate and pain. +
We bare our heads in homage,
In reverence bend the knee,
For those who fought the light
That all men might be free.
And while spring zephyrs murmur
OF sacrifice sublime,
We deck their mounds with laurels
Each year in lilac time.

Times.

seventh and Thirtieth divisions, which
fought with the English.
The Flanders Field cemetery, in
southern Belgium, contains the bodies
of 365 Americans who fought with the
English in Belgium. The eighth of the
cemeteries is in Brookwood, England,
containing the bodies of 435 Americans
who died in the British isles.
Cemetery at Romagne.
The cemetery at Romagne contains
the largest number of bodies, 1897.
1t covers 100 acres. The next largest
is at Nesles, which overs As acres and
contains the bodies of 6,033. In all
there are 30,511 American soldiers,
sailors and marines buried In Europe.
OF this number only 1,600 or about
2 per cent, are unknown dead. The
number of unknown dead was reduced
by 200 during the year. 1t is possible
others of the dead will be identified
as Investigations proceed. Every effort
is being made to gain new identified
lions. Descriptions taken at the time
of burial are being checked up with
descriptions obtained from army pa
pers and from relatives of those who
fell. The work is slow and tedious,
but is bringing some results.
Except where unknown dead are
being identified no more bodies are
being returned to the United States.
The Wal department feels that If per
mission for the return of bodies were
to continue the cemeteries would be In
a constant upheaval and their beauty
would be married. But 1t is only fair
to the relatives Of soldiers newly iden-
titled that they be given the oppor-
tunity Of having the bodies returned.
Few American Dead "Unknown."
In comparison with that of the other
armies in the World war the number
Of American unknown dead is small.
About 2 per cent of American dead are
The French and British
proportion is about 30 per cent.
In the American army the soldiers
were required to wear two identified
ton tags, one on a string around the
neck and the other on the wrist. Most
the men wore the tags, but here
and there were men who did not. The

we're much more lax in this regard
than were the Americans.

Day Recognized as
Belonging to All
= Who Served Nation

Memorial day is generally observed
throughout the world this year, due in
large part to the efforts of the Ameri-
announcement made at Legion head
quarters at Indianapolis:
Originally designated by the Union
veterans of the Civil war as q particu-
lar decoration day for their fallen con.
rades, May 80 gradually has become a
day set apart in memory of all Amer
leans who died for their country. AL
though 1t has long been the custom
of many southern states to observe a
memorial holiday of their own on
April 26, the tendency to a uniform
observance has been apparent since
the World war. The Legion, composed
Of both the North and the South, Of
fcially adopted May 30 as its Memorial
day and posts of the World wal men
on both sides of the Mason-Dix line
have, for the last three years, stimuli
t%aneously honored the dead of the
Civil, Spanish-American and World
wars.
May 80 International Holiday.
"When the Inter-Allied Veterans
federation, made up of World war
veterans of France, England and Can
ada, Italy and the others of the allied
nations and of which the Legion is a
member, adopted the Legion's date for
the observance of rites for the dead,
May 80 became an international holt
day, comparable only in universal OBJ
servance to Christmas. In the years
to come it will be observed by Legion
posts and allied veterans organiza-
lions in the following countries other
han the United States: Canada, Bel
GUM, France, Poland, Turkey, Mexico,
Brazil, British Isles, Chile,
China, Cuba, Guatemala, Japan, Peru,
Porto Rico, Portuguese West Africa,
Santo Domingo, Spanish Honduras,
India, Venezuela and the Canal Zone,
Hawaii, Philippine islands and the ter
ritory of Alaska.
"As it did last year and the year
before, the Legion will decorate and
hold appropriate exercises over the
grave of every American who sleeps

transportation, are civilians. A CEN
trail office is maintained in Paris.
Difficulty has been experienced In
getting grass to grow in some Of the
cemeteries. 1t is evident that sprink-
ling systems will have to be installed.
At Romagne it was necessary to plant
grass six times. To make the Gene
terry p%resentable for the large number
of American visitors the expedient Of
planting rye was resorted to tempo
rarily.
In the French cemeteries the bodies
are buried in individual graves, with
just mounds over them without grass.
But the French intend to adopt the
American idea of a beautiful lawn
effect.

A pitifully small group Of men, all
weighed down with the burden of
years, remains to bear visible testi-
mony of the struggle between North
and South. On Memorial day a few
of them, devoted to the memory of
their comrades, will enjoy places Of
honor in the thousands of parades
which will mark the memorial observ-
ances throughout the nation. Next
year they will be fewer. And in a
few years there will be none.

NIEMORIA days will come
1V1 and with the passing
years History will narrate
their observances. But far
above and beyond the pagean-
try of these glorious days r
the scrolls of eternal truth; the
history which mems ideals
write, the spiritual architecture
which makes a nation great.
Therein lies the deeper mean
ing of the day. And the fade
less beauty of Old Glory can
only be surpassed by the re-
Spouse to the echoes of the far
sounding prophecies which II
awakens.
