It is more than probable that all this information will be given you after a time by the Graves Registration Service who keeps all the records. I believe that your Ron's body was one of three bod ies that I gathered up at Jeancourt and had conveyed to tho cemetery at Hesbecourt and there buried with many others. As it was late at night and all the men with me were exhaust ed we did not bury them that night and the next morning I was assign ed to other tasks and another chaplain buried the bodies, at that cemetery. Some of our men visited Urnt cemetery since we have been back here and they say the graves are all nicely marked by crosses. If his was not one of the bodies buried there and he got near er the hospital before he died he would in all probability have been bur led in the cemetery at Tlncourt. Your son made a good soldier and was well liked by his comrades. He died in one of the hardest fought bat tles of H time and helped his com rades take the famous Hindenburg line, which it was the proud boast of the enemy could not be taken. War is not glorious, but when men roust fight It Is good to know that our own hoys are as brave as the very bravest I wish I might be able to say some thing that would comfort your hearts, though It has never been my privilege of knowing you. It is something to have given son to a cause so great and it is much to know thst In the great test of the fiercest battle of the war he proved himself a man.

When th&se lines appear in type tne legislature of 1919 will have adjourned and passed into histoid as a "fairly good,' aver age body, with no difitinpulsnng marks of super-greatness. Still it can be said oi it ti.at, during the last few weeks of the session, much good work was done in an intelligent way. lhe only measure smacking of the sensational Hnrino- th.a loct .1 of the session was the child lnl.nr in contention, whereby the State Com missioner of Labor, Mr. Shipman, who for years had been laboring to secure the enactment of an effective law on the subject, was not named as one of the three officials designated to en force the act. An effort to substitute bhipman for Beasley in the Nail so called "manufacturers bill" failed in the senate, the vote having been 27 to 20, eight of the majority votes being cast by Republicans. The controversy was an unfortunate one, as organized 1 j ?d representatives here who asked that the Commissioner of Labor be one of the commissioners of three to enforce the law, and they are rep resented as being offended over the refusal to accede to th JX. im.- . . . r" " me most important law f the ses sion was enacted Saturday, namely, the state-wide road law, which among its other good features complies with the exactions necessary for this State to share in the Federal aid in good roaas construction.
