I oppose the placing of the body of
[ an unknown soldier in the United
States Capitol instead of in Ar- J
lington. as proposed by the George

Both posts at regular meetings opj

i terms.

partment commander of the AmeriI

! kept busy these past two weeks answering

Resolutions urging President Harding.
Secretary of War Weeks and Secretary
of the Navy Denby to exert
their Influence for the retention of
war veterans in the government departments
were adopted by Robley S.
Evans Post, No. 4. the American Legion,
at its regular meeting Thursday
night in the old Naval Hospital, 9th
street and Pennsylvania avenue
southeast.
It was voted that the body of the
unknown soldier killed In the world
war be buried In Arlington national
cemetery Armistice day, and not in
the United States Capitol, as has been
proposed.
Announcement was made that many
members of the post contemplate entering
one or more of the athletic
events on the occasion of the annual
excursion of the American Legion at
Chesapeake Beach next month. The
post is holding meetings the first
Thursday of each month during the
summer.
Taking issue with the Chamber of
Commerce of the United StateB regarding
letters sent by that body to
Its members throughout the country
urging them to prevent the passage
of the veterans' adjustment compensation
bill, now pendlrfg In Congress,
the national legislative committee of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the
United States has sent a letter to the
chamber.
The committee challenges the chamber
to put its action to a referendum
vote and to ask its local bodies
throughout the country whether they
approve of the stand taken against
the bill. It is pointed out there are I
thousands of ex-service men on these I
boards, and it Is predicted that the
vote would be against such a stand.
Another challenge is for the chamber
to place the matter to a referendum
'of the general public. It la stated
in the letter that the recent elections
have shown that the public is in
favor of the bill by a vote of eight to
one.
The letter was sent to the chamber
by Edwin S. Bettelheim. Jr., chairman
of the national legislative committee.
The next meeting of George Washington

DOUBT IDENTITY 01
FOUND AT GERM\
BERLIN, June 16. ? The work |
of exhuming the bodies of the I
American soldiers who died as
prisoners of war in Germany has
developed such difficulties that
some uncertainty attaches to the
identity of the few which have
been unearthed from among the
unnamed German and other dead
In the cemeteries near the old
prison camps. j
Many of the graves were un- i
mdrked and the names of the men 1
buried, in some places were un- I
known, so that much guesswork
entered into the task of the American
graves registration service,
in charge of two American Army
officers, which has superintended
the operations.
"The bodies exhumed comprise
what are thought to he the remains
of American soldiers who
died in Germany," said a member
of the registration service. "We
have shipped fifteen from Leipzig
to Antwerp for transportation to
America. Our operations have
been carried out in Strasshurg,
oiocnacn con inn normern enu ui
I^ake Constance), Lindau-am-Bo- I
densee. Munich, Darmstadt, Cob- !
lenz. Stuttgart and Hindenburg, I
Silesia." !
To exhume and remove the single
soldier burled near Hindenburg?in
a flower-covered grave
shaded by chestnut * trees?it was
necessary to obtain permission
from the interallied high 6ommisston
