This expedient is resulting in locating
hitherto unknown graves and identifi
cation showing present status and
whereabouts of many battle casual
ties.
"Consideration should be given to
the fact that method of warfare as well
as the extent of terrain fought over
lent exceptional difficulties to dcscov
ery and burial of dead. Burial parties
frequently completed their mission un
der heavy fire and often could only be
doie uider cover of darkness thus
making ident ifiention in a great major
ity of cases iliossible. For this reason

Uncle Sam has not -been so rigid in

less than $15 th( wearer will be let off

then 10 per ceo!. of the excess goes
to pay war expe'ises.
Apparently l'nvie Sam thinks that
$15 is a sufficient amount for a wo
man or miss to pay for a hat, bonnet

10 per cent must. he paid for the priv
