Navy Department to Bring Home Its Heroic Dead
WASHINGTON.— Plans for bringing home (he bodies of all navy officers,
sailors ami marines now buried on foreign soil are being worked ont by
the nuvy department and the actual work will be undertaken within the next
Vferok^eul
few months. 1 no wisnes ui reiuuvcs
will govern the return of the bodies,
ami also the rinal disposition. Those
brought home either will be sent for
ward for private Interment or burled
in tlie Arlington or some other nation-1
al cemetery, as relatives may decide.
The department's announcement ex
pressed a preference for bringing home
all bodies.
The department's statement said
that where bodies were brought home
lur ouriai in nunuuui umciuico
military honors would be accorded. nnd that whore private Interment was
desired the navy would prepay all expenses up to delivery of the casket to
relatives mi l that the war risk insurance bureau of the bureau of the treas
ury would refund actual burial expenses not exceeding *100 in each case upon
presentation of the claims.
Relatives or' the dead 01' the navy and naval reserves were requested to
write the bureau of medicine and surgery as to their wishes, and those of th»
dead of the marine corps were invited to communicate with the commandant
of the corps.
It is believed that many fcood Americans will take advautage of the
arrangement announced by the department. The feeling of the average
American parent whose son has given his all to his country is a combination
of pride and grief. To many there Is comfort in the public ceremonies of a
funeral.
And tunny will wish to have the grave of the loved one near at hand.

| WORRY "CONDIMENT OF LIFE"
I
A Little of It Excellent, but It Mu«t
Not Be Enduring or
Excessive.
Unless n man has a litle worry
npathy, Indifference and the mechan
ical physical disinclination to do your
utmost without snnt will be lacking.
Without this condiment of life, this
salt of the human cosmos, "we see to
what absurd yet tragic physical '
lengths he is driven by the whip of
rha£ still vigorous tyrant, hi* self
instinct to fight." This thrilling force,
which one time had been used square
ly and successfully against the real
| world enemy. Is now absorbed in
trivial and self-debasing skirmishes
j with the grotesque bolsheviki of his
| imagination.
In other words. If a man has a va
riety of janxlous erploelve outlets vis
his muscles and Intellect, such as drlv- J
lng. tennis, swimming, dancing, compe- I
titlon. golf and the like, these act as
safety valves for the multitude of Im
pulses and reactions which habit and
custom have compressed out of his
external activities.
V^orry Is one of these, If not endur
ing or excessive. For the average man
set In society, In work and In his fam
ily circle it takes the place of larger
uud better outlets for his destroyed
Initiative.
Chinese Woman Eneofflned Alive.
An unusual case of filial Ingratitude
Is reported from Huchow, China, In
the Tokyo (Japan) Advertiser. A very
aged woman lived with her son's fam
ily. who were so poor that they did
not have necessary food. To reduco
expenses, the son, forgetting his conn
try's traditions regarding filial piety,
conceived of disposing of his aged
mother. He secured a coffin, placed
his mother therein, without protest on
her part, nailed on the cover and de
posited the coffin In a vacant lot.
Neighbors informed the police, and the
coffin was taken to the station house,
where It was opened. The woman was
still breathing, and when removed
asked: "Why did you disturb me? I
am a burden to my son and do not
want to live. Please put me back in
the box and let me die." The request
was refused, and officials are detain
ing both mother and son in the ya
nien awaiting a judicial disposition of
the case.
Making Arrangements.
A stray but friendly cat wandered
to the front door of a home "where
lived Charles, an only child. The lit
tle fellow was pleased with his new
visitor, and was endeavoring to wel
come him by bringing him into the
house, when the mother appeared on
the scene. She told the child that
nhe cat was not allowed In the house.
Immediately after the cautioning and
while the cat was on the front porch
Charles went to the door and said:
"Say, kitty, you come around to the
back door and I'll meet you there."

\V VTCH FOR OUR NEW* SERIAL
STORY ANNOUNCEMENT
CORTEZ' HOUR OF TRIUMPH
Impressive Scene When the Spanish
Adventurer Met Emperor Mon
tezuma of Mexico.
On the morning of November 8,
1519, the Spaniards were on the cause
way which was one of the three to con
nect Tenochtltlan with the mainland,
and so wide that eight of the Span
ish cavalry could ride abreast on It
On all sides, 'in the road and In ca
noes on the lake, a crowd of Aztecs
gazed at the descendants of the god
who bad at last, as they believed, car
ried out his promise. At the entrance
to the city they were greeted by 1,000
principal citizens with salutations and
kissing of hands to the bare earth;
and then, after crossing a drawbridge,
they saw approachfhg in a gorgeous
litter none other than the great Mon
tezuma, escorted by 200 of his cour
tiers.
Never has there been a more impres
sive scene in the history of the Amer
ican continent than this meeting be
tween the emperor of all Mexico and
the Spanish adventurer. The pictur
esque surroundings, the silver-towered
city rising from the gleaming lake, the
countless hosts of gayly dressed sub
jects watching In awed silence, the
magnificence of Montezuma and his
train, the bronze, war-worn yet fiery
appearance of the Spaniards—all these
seem like a page from the "Arabian
Nights" rather than sober history. The
Spaniards, we may be sure, realized
they were living a romance of th«
first order, and their hearts beat high
with triumph, as with swords clanking
and horses prancing they advanced
Into this city of legend.—Prom "Mexi
co," by Louise S. Hasbrouck.
