Other large burial grounds are at Bellcau Woods, Sur snes, the port cities, Fere-en-Tarder oi=, Ploisy, Thiaucourt and many other s s, such as Chateau-Thierry, which especially associated America's share in the activ of the war. The preseut year shows still another phase of the work of the Graves' Registration the work of keeping the army’s word to the American people.

He said that it was gratifying to the club to see s0 many familiar faces around the tables vear after year which was a testimonial to the popularity of the affairs. Mr. Blair said that it was customary for a toastmaster to tell stories, but that he was a poor hand at telling them and he thought that he had been made toastmaster in an attempt to keep him quiet. In order to spread the. Scotch atmosphere, however, he would tell about the two Scotchmen in a boat, which had been told to him by the Rev. G. W. C.

After the armistice, the govern- ment of the French Republic very considerately offered to furnish Fields of Honor at convenient “points in in which the American dead could be concentrated. The reduc- tion of the number of / cemeteries would make it possible to give proper care to the cemeteries and would make the graves more readily ac- cessible to visitors. Final action on the Fields of Honor have been taken and they will be Suresnes, Romagne, Bony and Belleau Woods. There are 16 New Britain boys huried in the Argonne cemetery at Romagne. .This is the largest and prettiest cemetery in France.

I am not Scotch, but that it not my fault, I trace my ancestry back to England. The toast- master has indicated that Dbrevity will be appreciated and I will speak briefly. “I have the greatest affection and admiration for Scotland and its peo- ple. Its literary and political history attracts me. T have trod the heather and been inspired by the historical spots in Scotland, I have looked up- on the lassies in their native heath and might state that, judging from those around me, transporting some of them from their nattve haunts to New England soil has not detracted from the attraction. “Robert Burns lived a life of toil and struggle. He was a Scot, back of him, for generations were Scots of fire and spirit, which show in ais works today. He was not inspired by Rousseau, as some think, had Ras- seau lived under the conditions t at Burns did he might have 1} Burns, had Rev.
