With 102 officers of the American army and a personnel of more than 2,000 men working night and day in many sections of France, the Graves Registration Service of the American | army has reached a point where it is | possible to forward 4,000 bodies a month. The work of sending back 52,311 designated for inter- ment in ica will be completed by the end of next October, if present plans are fulfilled. The bodies of the Americans have been taken from every cemetery in the south of France. The greater part of the effort is now being con- centrated in the zone of the armies— the Argonne, etc, Seventy-seven bodies of American soldiers who died in Italy will be removed to the Uhited States next month. The Graves Registration Service is working in Berlin on arrangements for shipping the bodies of 130 Ameri- can soldiers who are buried in various parts of unocupied Germany. This latter work wgs rendered very diffi- cult because the location of many of the graves was unknown. MAn expert has been going over” the German burial records in Berlin for several weeks and virutaly all the graves have been found. The German gov- ernment has afforded every facility to the Graves Registration Service. More than 20,000 bodies will be buried in the four permanent ceme- teries which the American govern- ment will maintain in France. The Fine Arts Commission of the American War Memorial Council has arived in Paris for a series of meet- ings and a tour of inspection of the permanent cemeteries, The com- mission has in contemplation plans for the beautification of the ceme- teries and will determine the char- acter of headstones to be used and the general decorative scheme to be folowed. The commission will prob- ably consult with leading French landscape artists. GOMPERS MARRIES AGAIN 1 are Head of Am can Federation of La- hor Takes Bride at 71 Years—She Is 38 Years Old.

Just as the fire rate is Tow for a Pierce- Arrow or a Packard because their mechani- cal construction renders them highly ‘fire- proof, so is the Hupmobile rated accordingly. The Hopmobile rate is 40 cents per $100. Look at this comparison: Buick ........ 63c per $100 Paige ........ 6fc per $100 Studebaker ... 55¢ pe\r $100 Mechanical construction alone justifies the reputation that the Hubmobile ‘holds— the reputation for stability of power, economy and performance.
