Whether you yield through suggestion
or through fear, or bit of both, it's
the same process.
When the spell is supposed to be cast
by the dead it's a haunt; haunting
is fear in the mind of the mind of the
person haunted. Any strong emotion
may produce the feeling of being
haunted; guilty conscience will do
it; just superstitiouS fear will do it.
1t goes back to that root source of
malice or revenge which is attributed
to the injured spirit. Many primitive
people have ceremonies to prevent the
avenging spirits of the departed from
venturing; while fear Of such revenge
checks the desire to inflict injury.
Belief in spells and haunts survive in
part of the belief in mystic powers pos

When toned down to a belief In undue
or irresistible influence exercised by an
other, in just the ordinary methods of
persuasion, it becomes a conflict of wills.

not to be unduly Influenced by them.
but we can't call upon spells and haunts
TO account for our failure or success.

Mothers and Widows to Start Pilgrimages
to Soldiers Graves in Europe
Next May.

soldiers, sailors and marines who died
in the World War. OF this number
29. 149 have been identified.
There are 70 isolated graves under the
care OF the United States Government
called do not disturb" cases. These
graves have been left alone because
relatives wished the soldier to be buried
where he fell, as in the case of Quentin
Roosevelt. There are approximately 20
special cases In which soldier of
foreign extraction serving under the
American nag was buried in his native
land because his relatives so desired.
Not all of the graves will be visited
by either mother or wife because many
OF the soldiers have neither surviving.
Some have both mother and wife who
may make the pilgrimage. The War
Department reported on December
that $500 of the 1850 eligible wives
and mothers had accepted the Govern
ment's invitation. The mothers and
widows who would not be considered
eligible to go at the Governments ex-
pense are those that have visited the
graves at some previous time. A widow
would not be eligible to go If she has
married again.
Cemeteries Beautiful.
The eight cemeteries-six in France,
one IN Belgium ana one In England
are kept with great care. Landscape
gardeners have placed plants and flow
erS for decorations and in the center of
each cemetery at all times floats an
American flag. The graves laid out in
rows, are marked by white marble head
stones which have replaced the tenn
porary ones of wood. Only two types
of headStoneS are used-the cross for
the soldier of Christian faith and the
shield of David for those of Jewish
faith.
On each headstone is inscribed the
soldiers name and rank, the organiza-
ton In which he served, the date of
his death and the State from which he
came. The inscription on the graves
Of the unknown soldiers is Here rests

these pilgrims will be bent with age and
will falter along the paths where once

even though time has done much to
smooth the way.
The United States Government is
making it possible for these mothers and

heroic dead.
The Office of the quartermaster gen.
eral was given charge of the pilgrim
ages when Congress passed a bill, on
March 2, 1929, directing the War De-

Month Allowed for Trip.
Between May /. 1880, and October 81
1888, the pilgrimages for groups will be
scheduled as nearly as possible to suit
the wishes of those who are going. It
Is expected that most of the IL 500
mothers and widows will go. More than
half have already signified their inten-
ton to make the journey and most of
them wish to go as early as possible in
1880. The pilgrims will sail on Amer
lean liners and it is expected that about
Q month will be taken for each trip.
The Government will pay every ex-
pense from the time the pilgrim leaves
her home until she is back again. At
New York staff of managers will take
charge OF the assembled group for each
trip and will see that every comfort is
provided. Among the. assistants that
will accompany each group will be
guides, physicians, nurses and inter-
prefers.
The initerary for each person will be
arranged: She will be given descriptive
material relating to the particular
cemetery which she will visit. Her no.
tel reservations will be arranged in the
town most convenient to the cemetery
where her son or husband is buried.
