CONCENTRATION OF HEROIC DEAD New York, July 18.?Concentration of the heroic dead of the 27th and 30th Divisions of the American Expeditionary Force into three cemeteries in France is suggested in letters received here today from Major Gen. John F. O'Ryan, formerly acting commander o fthe 27th division. The 27th was composed mainly of men from the New York State National Guard. The men of the 30th Division came mostly from North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. Gen. O'Ryan, accompanied by Col. J. Mayhew Wainwright, and Capt. George . Gibbons, have been overseas for the last two months obtaining historic data in connection with the operations of the 27th Division and to investigate the condition of the cemeteries in which the dead of the division are buried. "To my mind the sentimental Bide of the cemetery proposition is quite clear," said Gen. O'Ryan. "I think that the 27th and 30th Divisions should have three cemeteries, the first of T ioOPTlVoftlr /of T> ---- W ?jMwvMiivva \**W AVCIUJT oiumg ncai Poperinhge); the second at Bony, on the Somme, in the vicinity of the famous Hindenburg line; the third at St. Souplet on the Le Selle rives, France and that the remains of all men who lost their lives in connection with, that is in the engagements leading up to or resulting from the Inlanders operations should be transferred to Remy. In like manner all deaths connected with the battle of the Hindenburg line, to Bony and all related to the battle of the Le Selle rives to St. Souplet. As remains are transferred they should be reinterred by companies and regiments, so far as possible, but no attempt made to dis- | turb the existing remains in the three cemeteries named. If the families of our dead could know what we know of this whole thing, 90 per cent would favor this plan. ''Large cemeteries are already established at the localities mentioned and most of the 1,968 dead of the 27th Division and 1,629 dead of the 30th ^ Division havj been collected there . frnm tV>a nmnllav ntnta Iomi than ?>a? . first buried. The thought set forth is ! to effect a further concentration of remains now at smaller burial pices i as Abeele, Doingt, St. Emilie, Guillemont Frm, Busingy or elsewhere, to ' the three principal cemeteries named.

I FAMOUS FAMINES IN HISTORY (From the Detriot Ne^s) Among the famous famines in his tory was that terrible period of suf fering from 79 to 88 A. D., when th< Jtoman world seemed to to be shaker to its physical foundations. At thai time, in addition to the devastating drought and famine which swept over the Italian peninsula, during whict 10,000 citizens are said to have died in one day in Rome, there followed the shock of earthquakes and the cataclysmic eruption of valcanoes. In no other country in the woild has a people been brought to such 8 low ebb of morality or become sc completely lost to all semblance ol national humanity as in the series ot famines which swept over Egypt during the tenth, eleventh and twelfth centuries under Mahometan rule. A low nile in 967 A. D. resulted in a famine the following year, which swept away 600,000 people in the vicinity of Fustat. G'awhar, a Mahometan Joseph, founded a new city, the Cario of day, a short distance from the stricken city, and immediately organized relief measures. One of the worst calamities that ever befell the human race was the Black Death, End the accompanying famine, which afflicted all western civilization during the middle decade of the fourteenth century. Its toll has been variously estimated at from one-fourth to three-fourths of the entire population of Europe, and was not le$s than 20,000,000. persons, FOR.

Phones 68-69 PIKE'S PEAK ASCENDED 100 YEARS AGO Colorado Springs, July 16.?One - hundred years ago today Dr. Frank James astonished the world by climb1 ing to the top of Pike's Peak, 14,108 ? feet above the sea. Since that time t 2,000,000 persons have made the trip : and yesterday Colorado Springs in : celebration of the anniversary with i ceremonies all along the 18-miles ser-' I pine automobile highway to the sumI mit. s Lieutenant Zebulon M. Pike is credited with the discovery of the I mountain in 1806. As hardy a pioneer i was the discoverer, he declared the peak was inaccessible and none dared : to doubt it until June 14, 1820 when ' Doctor James, a member of the Major Long expedition, succeeded in the i attempt. Major Long Chirstened the moun, tain James peak but the pioneers and . plainsmen persisted in giving it the i name of its discoverer and Pikes Peak it has remained. The history of tourist travel to this i most famous spot in the Rockies has been that of the development of highway transportation. First came a bridle path in 1878; two years later a wagon road was built and in 1891 a cog wheel railroad was constructed. With the development of the automobile industry came the demand for a motor road and in 1916 the present motor highway, winding around the mountain in devious curves, with precipitous rock walls flush against the road on the one hand and deep ravines on tht other, was completed at a cost of $300,000. It has an average grade of 7 per cent and maximum of 1 1-4 per cent. It was 20 feet wide except at the curves which were extendede to 50 feet' for the greater safety of the motorist. Pikes Peak is eight miles in an air line from Colorado Springs and the greater part of the mountain is controlled by Colorado Springs to safeguard the city's water supply. i In April, 1919, a government war tank attempted to cKmb the peak but was blocked by snow drifts. A month i later a caterpillar tractor made the < ascent. Walking races, burro races, motor- i cycle and automobile races have been i held on Pike's Peak. The first air- i plane to cross the peak was flown over the mountain on August 3, 1919, piloted by Alexander Lendrum, of Colorado Springs. The record for motor over the 12 miles from Crystal Creek to the sum- < mit is held by R*lok Mattel* >*ht> ! made it in 18 minutes 26 seconds. Next September the automobile hillclimbing contest, discontinued during the war, will be resumed.

I have been away from home for five 1 or six weeks on account of sickness. Allow me, Mr. Editor, before I be- , gin, to extend to you my heartiest congratulations for our most excel- . lent paper. You have been instru mental in giving to Union county one of its greatest assets. i I see much written nowadays about boll weevil. We all hope that he will ( not get this high up, but I fear our hopes are to a certain extent in vain. I have made three trips to the boll ! weevil territory in the lower part of the state in the last six weeks. I had ample opportunity to see him "in action." He is doing a real damage. One weevil, they told me, usually punctures a hundred or more squares; the young weevils hatch out . and feed on the tender square. It then falls to the ground and the weevil comes forth in a few days a 1 full grown weevil. Several generations hatch every season. To kill them they are using a boll weevil catcher and a spray. Either method makes cotton farming mighty expensive business. It is a common sight to see the farmers in the fields with sacks gathering up the fallen squares. One might think they were picking the stapel. I hope to have an interesting exhibit on the boll weevil for exhibition and instruction, in the office of the Times soon. I have just finished reading my accumulated copies of the Times. 1 read everything from the Democratic nomination to local news, to the nfgro lying before an investigation committee.

Edwin S Balch, of Philadelphia who has mad< a particularly study of them statei that according1 to the theory evolve< by investigators, the formation of thi caverns are such that cold ari o' winter does not penetrate and settle in them until late in the spring, a' the time when the water from spring thaws, is seeping through the walli and roof. The water meeting the col< air freezes, and stays frozen all sum mer. The Decorah ice cave remains jus as nature made it, up among the beet ling rocks that wall the upper Iowi River at that point. A climb up i steep path and a great triangulai opening in the cliffs confronts th< visitor. Chill air comes from it. Oi entering the cave it is necessary ver. soon to use a flashlight, as the wind ing passages are entirely cut off fron the light that enters the cave open ing. There is evidence that Indian knew of the ice cave and brough vension to it in summer. The ice mines at Bixby Park was di covered in late years. A prospecto ran a - shaft into the hillside in th park thinking there was lead in th rocks. The lead was not found, bu the opening he had blasted in th rocks was discovered the followini season, after the mine had been aban doned, to be walled with ice. The con dition has prevailed ever since. PANSY WRITES Catch the sunshine! tho' life's tempe? Thru a dark and dismal cloud, Tho it falls so faint and feeble on Heart with serious bound.
