These were divid- ed as follows: Americans, 131 identi- fied and 33 unidentified; crew, 4 iden- tified and 3 unidentified. The Associated Press correspondent co-operated with the American army officers in obtaining these figure which go forward to Washington as the most accurate and complete list obtainable. The last 17 of these bod ies recovered—all Americans—wers buried this afternoon, villagers again coming many miles in a downpour of rain to pay their simple tribute to the American de The bodies were brought to the burial place on one big motor truck which was followed along the route several miles long by the squad of 25 khaki clad Ameri ur- vivors and the village mourners. Oue of the villagers carried the Union Jack while an American soldier held aloft the Stars and Stripes. At the graveside the American sol- diers sang the “Star Spangled Ban- ner”, followed by the natives singing TUSCANIA VICTIMS LAID TO REST IN SOIL OF SCOTLAND Impressive Ceremony in Which Grief Stricken Villagers Pay Homage to American Banner” and “God Save the BOBDIES PLACED IN GRAVES THUS FAR BEING UNIDENTIFIED “God Save the King.” The usual mil- tary salute was then fired, ending the ceremony.

The Canadians are holding a larger front than ever before. Canada’s splendid home support of the military service measure has placed the authorities in a position where they mot only are assured of reinforcements for the existing units but can add largely to their fizhting establishments.

He | declared that had the railroad heads | en given full measure of assistance | | the government would have escaped the necessity of guaranteeing the car- riers an income for the use of the | properties taken over. | Senator Kellogg spake in support of | the committee’'s amended draft of the | administration railroad bill, which he | said “reflects the best judgment of the | administration and the committee.” Although he did not agree with the president and his advisers on the rail- road question, he said he “intended | thing possible to strength- | en and itate government opera- | tion and insure justice to the people, | the roads and the vast army of se- curity holders.” The executive committeo of rail- road heads, the senator said, greatly co-ordinated the transportation facil- ities and enormously increased traf- | fice, but were hampered by certain laws and restrictions which shauld have been abolished. | “The railroads should supported by government authority he continued, * to operate as a unit. ring in mind that congestion was simply in the eastern and northeast crn territory, T am constrained to be- | lieve that as great service could be ob- have been | tained through the government co- | operation as by taking over the | roads.” Approves of Compensation. He approved of the compensatiom | provided in the bill, and said: guarantee by the government of u permanent income on an invest- | | ment would be reasonable at a very ! much lower rate, but the guarantes in this case is only for the period of | the war and a short time thereafter it | should, as near as possible, represent the carning capacity of the roads over a reasonable term of years.” The plan submitted originally by | the administration giving the presi- | dent absolute power to fix rates was | denounced by Senator Kellogg. *It | is appalling,” he declared, *“to say, that because we are at war, the coun- try’s entire rate-making structure | and the absolute power to change a | rate, affecting the billions of dollars | of railroad property and hundreds of | millions of dollars of commerce shall be placed in the hands of one man, without the right of appeal.” Senator Kellogg said he beiieved | the provision in the bill terminating government control within 18 months after the war should be retained.
