that reported missing" dcess not nee

killed 1t yields room for hope, but
hope mingled with grave concern. He
may have survived, although badly
hurt, and that conjecture suggests the
possibility of his lying helpless in some
hospital or wandering around Europe
bereft of strength and reason. Again,
he may have been neither killed nor
hurt. which opens up new field for
speculation and the fear of something
worse than death-desertion.

If it be so with the living what must

But the corollary does not neces-

concerned, the dead are being cared

teries of the battle areas without re-
aIizing the sanctity that is being pre-
served about the graves of the fallen,
without sensing the beauty Of the trib-
ute that is being paid by tender hands
dedicated to that sole purpose. Row

Many unknown"
The important work of searching
begun by the fields units section of
the Graves Registration service imme-
diately after the close of the war. The
task proved to be extremely difficult.
Records of burial made under battle
conditions were not complete, for
bodies had been hastily inferred under
fire and the terrain had been subject
to many transformations. The first
search of the battle zone in the fall of
1918 and in the spring of 1919 there
fore, met with but little success.
1t was not until November, 1923,
that the Graves Registration service
became free to resume an organized
and systematic effort to search the
records for the missing, to recover I'M
located bodies. At that time an officer
who had seen four years Of service In
the field was detailed to the Paris Of
fee and placed in charge of the rec
ords, investigation and research de-
partment He was especially equipped
for the task in that he had served in
the infantry and was thoroughly ia
miliar with battle terrain, and also be-
cause he had knowledge of anatomy
which was exceedingly useful in the
work of establishing identity between
dismembered parts, where a shell. as
often happened, had played particular
havoc with the victim.
Good Work Going On.
That officer organized series of
units which are now serving in all the
battle zones where Americans fought
and under his direction the work has
progressed steadily and successfully.
Unfortunately for the service, under
the operation of the "Manchu law"
which requires every officer to serve
one year out of five with troops, the
man who until recently was in charge
Of the task has been compelled to re
turn to America. The work, however,
will be carried on by his successor.
From January / to July / of 1924
the units engaged in the search recov-
cred and established the identity OF
125 bodies, or at the rate Of a week
They also recovered 20 bodies on
which Identification could not be es-
tablished owing TO mutilation and cor
rosion that had taken place with the
passing of time.
These results can only be regarded
as remarkable and foster the belief
that the time is not far distant when
the search for missing heroes Of the
World war will be crowned with COM
plete success.

GENERAL LEE READY
TO RENDER ANY AID
Would Try to Find Won
ans Missing Son Dolly"

ITO AN old New Orleans newspaper
Lee on his last retreat from Richmond
to Appomattox contributed some in
teresting "reminiscences of the famous
Confederate commander. The army
had halted two miles from Petersburg
on the road TO Appomattox, she writes,
and General Lee and his staff were
asked to dinner at the house of an
old friend who lived in Summit Iced
mint julep was the favorite beverage
of Virginia gentlemen In those days,
and when the staff and guests had as
sembled just before dinner was an
nounced the glasses were passed.
General Lee was in conversation
with a young woman. He offered his
glass to her after the old style and
then, barely raising 1t to his lips, set
1t down untasted. He took up and
drank instead a glass of water.
As he rode away from Summit
toward Appomattox on his favorite
horse Traveller he passed the house Of
a poor old woman who had sent her
three sons to the army The youngest,
whom she called Dolly, was her spe-
clal pet. Like every poor southern
woman she believed that General Lee
was the personal protector of her son.
When she saw him she rushed out and
caught his Bride.
20, General Lee she cried, what's
become of my Dolly?"
Although he was then almost with
out hope of saving his army and was
engrossed with plans for making a
last desperate stand, the general, d.
vining at once that Dolly must be
soldier son, replied in his gentlest
manner:
Madam, If you will tell me Dolly's
name and the name of his company
and command. will try to find out for
you"

You count your possessions in acres,
but as Death rides his white horse

the Frenchman said: ILLS ne pas

But in the winning of that mighty
struggle the remnant of the Old First
division daily grew less and less. The
