Red Cross Offers
Help In Bringing
Var Dead Home

The Key West Red Cross Chap
ter is ready to assist families in
preparing documents for the re-
turn of American war dead from
overseas cemeteries. Earl f.
Hamilton, Home Service chair
man announced today after re-
4eiying information from the or
tanizations Southeastern Area
Headquarters in Atlanta.
Home Service workers in the
Key West Chapter have been
}upplicd with information to help
hcxt-of-kin in completing the
fOrlns and in providing general
Information on the government
kroiect, Hamilton said. This SER
VIE IS provided at the request Of
the War Department.
According to information re-
ceived. the first 10000 forms were
sent to next-of-kin by the War
Department beginning March 4.
Before the initial inquiry letter
and forms are received from
Washington, relatives of the war
dead have been urged not to
make inquiries of the War and
Navy Departments. Because of
the magnitude of the project. it is
expected to be several months Or
more before all next-of-kin re-
ceive the forms.
At a recent conference on Red
Cross Services to Veterans held
in Atlanta, COL John H. pruitt,
director of the American Graves
Registration Service, and Col.
Matthew H. Jones, of the Third
Army Quartermaster Corps, out
lined the War Departments pro-
gram for returning bodies Of
those men who lost their lives
overseas during the period from
September 3, 1889, to July l, 10
46.
While the war was on, most of
the more than 100000 Americans
who died overseas were buried
in temporarily cemeteries thru
out the world. The Government
feels it is the right mad privilege
of the next-of-kin to decide
where the final resting place of
these war dead will be, the Army
officials pointed out.
The War Department., through
the Quartermaster Corps, will
first determine from its records
the person authorized to decide
the question of final burial, ac-
cording to the Atlanta spokeS-
men. Then the letter of inquiry
and necessary forms will be mail
ed to the authorized next-of-kin,
who indicates on the forms the

Families have the following OPP

VETS Win 81, DrYs Is
PENNSYLVANIA Districts

HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. TO-
Wet forces counted 81 victories and
the drys 73-as the returns rolled
in today In local option referenda
in more than 200 Pennsylvania
communities.
With the vote in more than SO
communities, many Of them rural,
still to be reported the count stood:
Liquor-From wet to dry, IL;
from dry to wet, 2; remained wet,
AZ; remained dry, 30.
Beer-From wet to dry, Is; from
dry to wet, none; remained wet,
SO; remained dry, II.
An upset for the vets came IN
Greene County, where Waynesburg,
the county seat, voted against the
sale of both liquor and beer for the
first time since repeal.
Wet forces, however, in Fayette
County turned down a proposal to
outlaw sale Of alcoholic beverages in
Uniontown and most Of the COM
munities within 15-mile radius of
that soft coal center.
In New Salem, York County, there
was an 1886 tie on the question of
permitting the sale of beer, while
the drys won by one vote in Fer
managh Township, Miff1in County,
in malt beverage referenda.
