Many of them were from wealthy persons who desired to go la person and bring hath tha bodies of tl.eir (lead from Prance. It was found iniposslbls to grant these requests because of the shortage of transportation, and It was further considered unjust to allow th wealthy to while the poor bring back their dead, were unable to do so. It waa concluded that the only just and satisfactory' arrangement would be for all the dead to be brought batk at government expense r, bine the issuance of the order, a Irons sentiment has sprung up In favor of leaving the fallen Athenians where they s re. Colonel Jtoosevelt's letter to the secretary of wUr, expressing the earnest wish That the remains of bis iron, Quentin, be not disturbed has been widely published In the newspapers. The feeling expressed by Colonel iiooeevelt is known to be widely shared and to have been communicated to the War department by many other fathers of fallen sons. While the yceernnirnt presumably! stands pledged to bring back the remain j of the American soldiers to this country, It can safely be stated that for various reasons the growth of tins sentiment a to - thing thingbe desired, there are great practical difficulties In the way of bringing back the remains of the slain.

' The Inclusion of the undertakers in tha personnel Indicates this, Jt Is also known that several thousand caskets were shipped Jo France for this purpose. It was evidently Intended that each fallen soldier should be embalmed and buried In s casket, so that hta disinterment and removal would be an easy .maitar-- . It was soon found that both embalming and the use of casket were Impracticable. CaSkets aud cufflns could not be shipped to France, because there was not enough shipping to bear the soldiers and the food which were needed to win the war. Neither was embalming practicable. Not only did the limitations of time often make this Impossible; but the condition of the bodies, some of which were badly mangled and some of which were not discovered for days after death, AH added to the difficulty. attempt either to embalm the American ded or to busy them In caskets was presently abandoned, except in the case of a few who died In hospitals, where ample ''facilities for interment happened to be at . hand.
