The tangled underhrush of the Meuse-Argonne, St. Miblel, Chateau Thierry and I other battlefields are still giving up the unidentified bodies of Am erican soldiers who felt in action j ten years ago.

The race will start at the Terminal hotel at 10 o'clock sharp. 0. S. Still in Action' can usually determine which of the three we have found." Sometimes the task of making an Identification becomes arduous in the extreme. One such case Is now being worked on by Col. Van Puyne, The manager of a French lumber company sent in an Ameri can soldier's identification disk, explaining that It had been found embedded In a log which reached the mill from the Argonne dis trict. The tag had been pierced by a rifle or machine gun bullet. hat Col. Van Uuyne is now try ing to do Is find out. if possible, the exact section with which this particular tree came, so that he ran hunt In that vicinity for the body. Nearly all of the 30,713 graves in the American military cemes, terles In Europe now bear the new I stone crosses. In most of these I cemeteries work Is now In prog ress for the erection of the Me morial Chattels planned by the Rattle Monuments Commission, headed by Gen. John J. Pershing. Visitors books at the ceme teries show that the American people are not forgetting their overseas dead. More than 16.000 visited the field and cemetery at ( hateau Thierry this year an In crease of 4000 over last year. ' Fewer Mothers Making Trip It Is noted, incidentally, that fewer mothers of dead soldiers are visiting the cemeteries now than was the case In the first few years ftr th rniltte ml Vn iMiyne believes this Is largely b raw the mothers of men who" served In France are now begin ning. In many cases, to . get ad vanced In years, and cannot travel long distances aa well as they could a few years ago. Another noticeable fact' Istha? roreign visitors to the American cemeteries are . increasing yearly. Indeed, this year nearly at many Kurnpeans rs Americans visited them. The U glen convention here last year stimulated the interest of French cemeteries, and this year a great many Germans have ; visited the cemHeiles, especially me Argnnn cemetery at Ro maane and ihe St. M.hiel ceme tery ar Thiaucourt. It ia estimated that !S.ftoo Germans Tislted the utrter cemetery this aummer.
