A of the and ’ By JOHN GROVER AP Feature Service Writer | | WASHINGTON.—Europe's war is within gun-sound of American soil those United States cemeteries in rance and Flanders where rest 30,- 4302 American war dead. Already bombs have dropped near | these silent American outposts. One, the Meuse-Argonne Cemetery, has | been reported struck by bombs. Solemn Memorial Day services in | the American cemeteries this year will be punctuated by the long unfamiliar, but too well-remem- bered, thunder of great guns ir the distance. Six of the eight. American ceme- | teries in France are on battlefields \\hexe Yankee troops rolled back the Hindenburg line in the assaults f June to October, 1918, Those six lie square athwart the line of ba tle followed in western Europe since Cs s time Ungrudged millions have be: | spent—8$5,000,000 in all—by the S. government to beauty to these quiet cit of the de: White marble crosses—six- pointed stars of David for the Jewish dead—bloom in ordered rows on the broad acres. Guarding each American ceme- tery is a lofty-vaulted chapel. The | chapels, all in the sic ar Lectural tradition, were built for | the ag -but one bomb could de- {molish any of them. Designs were chosen only after internation: competition, They compare favor- ably with the greatest memorial ar- chitecture anywhere. France Observes Hemorial Day The years of peace since 1918 have been kind to these quiet places. The French peasantry has adopte the American custom of Memorial day. The nearest Sun- day to May 30 is regularly cele- brated by the villagers who re- member the American khaki-clads of 1918. An American superintendent is in charge of each cemetery, as- sisted by a corps of native labor- ers. Thousands of Americans, many of them relatives of the men bur- ied there, have come to the ceme- teries each year—but the war will prevent that in 1940, The American Battle Monuments commission is in charge of main- taining the cemeteries. There has been no fear expressed officially that the cemeteries are in danger. Indeed, there has been every ef- fort to minimize the threat. But war recks little of sentiment and less of beauty. The German in- vasion of France and Belgium and petual quiet of the American grave- yards has brought the war home, s nothing elge, to the thousands |bf American families whose sons and brothers lie there. Flanders Near Battle Zone Here are the American cemeteries in Europe: Flanders field—most endangered by the new whr—lies between Brussels and Ypres in the heart of | Belgium at Waereghem; 368 Amer- |ican dead lie here. 2 St. Mthiel—4,152 American | diers rest here—lies 26 miles from ‘Lm city of Nancy, recently bombed. | Suresnes—lies on the outskirts ‘oi wounds. in base hospitals are bur- | center; 1541 American who died | of founds in base hospitals are bur- | ied here. Meuse - Argonne, 18 miles from verdun. is still more than 100 miles rrom the battle line. The largest ‘U S. foreign cemetery, it is the |last haven of 14,240 American sol- diers. Oise-Aisne, containing 6,012 Am- |erican graves, lies 14 miles from Chateau Thierry, outside the pres- |ent battle zone. 1 Aisne-Marne — 2,288 Americans, | mostly those who fell at Belleau ‘wood are buried here.
