, i t i YANKS SLEEP IN CAREFULLY TENDED GRAVES ©: Rank Grass and Weeds Have N Place on Our - Soldiers’ Resting Places. CAREFULLY REGISTERED Eight Units of Fifty Men in! Field Marking Places Where Our Boys Lie. BY EDWARD M. THIERRY. (N. E. A. Staff Correspondent.) A French City.—Rank grass and weeds have no place on the grave of any American soldier-hero fallen rrance. Not a single grave is unmarked, un known, untended. The United States army gives ten-! der care to its wounded. And to i martyred dead, heroes who gave their | lives, for the freedom of tne world, ives s all a grateful country can. y lists do not make p) But it is a labor of love and of grati tude undertaken by the army in be halt of loved ones at home. Here in this inland city are tha; headquarters of this little known bu- rea headed by Major Charles S.) He did similar work in the} Philippines and though he was on the} retired list wher ‘nited Siates entered the wa called into | service, { Eight units of 50 men each are in| the field. They work under shell fire} and gi They find the spot where each fallen hero h peen buried. They | erect new and permanent crosses in| place of the temporary identification marks. Perfect Record Kept. They preserve records and locations, | plot out cemeteries and maintain them. | Full control of the plots are taken over from French property owners in the name of the United States govern- ment. And everything is done so that any grave can be found at a mo- ment’s notice now or after the war. At the bureau headquarters recordsj are kept of each hero’s name, rank, service, date of death, cause, where, buried, the grave number and marks,} cemetery number and name of the| commune and department in which it is located, map references, sources of | information, identification number.) name and address of nearest relative, | notation of personal letters sent them, | disposition of identification tags and! dates of frequent inspections of| grave. Immediately after a grave is located and data gathered the kindly old ma- jor personally writes a letter to the hero's nearest relative. It is the let- ter that reaches a mother or father af- ter the first shock of the wa depat- ment's telegam announcing the so! dier’s death. Human Touch in Letters. Usually that letter crosses in the mails a letter, from the boy's home asking for just the very information the veteran major's letter gives. In; to the lines he writes he puts a hu- man touch. Though his task may be} arduous he always writes each letter with the care, the kindliness, the ten-! derness, the gentleness that belong. to! his personality. ———wur w. s,s. WEATHER REPORT.

European people, who first suffered flu attacks, resorted to the lemon treatment. Italians took to, lemons, so readily that the municipal’ government of Rome has had to come to their aid by. squelching the lemon speculators who ‘hoarded flu foes to boost the price. ' Boston instituted the lemon cure when the epidemic hit Massachusetts. Other fiu stricken localities‘have started taking the lemon treatment. Unaccountable barrels of hot lemonade have been drunken to drown the flu germs. This has caused a lemon shortage in America, | The lemon crop must be conserved. lemon. Save ’em for the flu fight.
