Section 3. There are authorized to
be appropriated such sums as may be
necessary to carry into effect the pro-
visions of this act. The Secretary of
War is directed to make an investiga-
ton for the purpose of determining
% the total numbers of mothers and
widows entitled to make the Pilgrim
ages, (2) the number of such mothers
and widows who desire to make the
pilgrimages and the number who desire
to make the pilgrimages during the
calendar year 1880 and 49, the probable
cost of the pilgrimages to be made.
The Secretary of War shall report to

ton.
Section 4. (a) The term mother
means mother, stepmother, mother
through adoption or any woman who
stood in loco PARENTS to the deceased
member Of the military or naval forces
for the year prior to the commence
ment of his services in such forces.
"(b) The term widow means q widow
who has not remarked since the death
Of the member Of the military or naval
forces"
This bill places the project under the
Secretary of War, who has in turn
placed 1t under Gen. B. F.. Cheatham,
quartermaster general of the Army, who
will handle it through his cemeterial
division.
There is quite great amount of work
enta1led In preparing for this pilgrim
age, which will largely, at the option
of the mothers and widows, be extended
over a period of three years. The task
OF the quartermaster generals office is
TO locate the mothers and widows enti-
tied to make such q pilgrimage as
defined under section above. 1t is
estimated that there were 10000 Ameri-
cans killed overseas, out of which num-
Der there remain inferred 30,723 in
eight American military cemeteries
abroad Zone in England, one in Belgium
and six in France. 1t is to visit the
shrine Of these cemeteries that Con-
gress has passed this law. 1t is not
positively known how many mothers
or widows will be found entitled to visit
these thirty-odd thousand graves.
Because Of the great difficulty of
locating these women and proving their
eligibility the American War Mothers
are attempting to aid in the task and
they have designated Mrs. N. N. Mock,
2l00 N street, Washington, ID. c., as a
liaison contact in the task.
The cemeterial division Of the Quar-
termaSter Generals Office Is sending out
letters TO these 30,723 nearest OF kin |
for information. Any mother or widow
should furnish the following |
/. Her name and address.
2. Name of SON, rank and Organiza-
ton.
3. Name Of cemetery where he 10
buried.
4. Name OF sons widow II still I'M |
Besides the 3O,723 above, there are
3 1000 of the American forces missing, |
consisting of 800 whose bodies have
