As last year, the American Legion will perform this sacred service.” Committees have been formed in France and Great Britain, composed largely of legion men. Posts in England. France, Belgium and Germany, cooperating with these committees, will see that every overseas grave of an American soldier is as fittingly decorated as if all the fallen slept In the soil of the homeland, the announcement adds.

Legionaires are charged with transmitting the requests to the memorial committees, through national headquarters, that every desire of the bereaved families may be complied with. “Contributions from the public will be accepted and the Legion will be glad to have any and all patriotic citizens make use of onr organization in this annual tribute to th fallen." the bulletin concludes. “The Legion will receive, dlsbruee and account for in a public statement all moneys received for the purpose. but Commander Galbraith wishes to emphasize onr individual obligation to our own departed.” Last Memorial day the American Legion, through contributions of th© public and of its membership, decorated 7F.000 graves of Americans in Italy. • Spain, France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany.

300,000 JOBS IN 600 MILLIONS’ ROAD PROGRAM Relief to Unemployment Seen in Pending Projects Requiring Federal Aid. PLAN OF THE NEXT YEAR WASHINGTON. April 2—More than three hnndred thousand unemployed will find work during the next year on road building projects, If States and counties push projects already approved and Congress makes an additional appropriation of $100,000,000 as Federal aid in highway improvement, officials of the Department of Agriculture estimated today. The grand total cost of road building projects that have been approved and are awaiting completion is $022,000,000. In other words, this amount may be spent during the next year if the work is pushed. This includes amounts allotted by the Federal Government to the States, counties and cities. Estimating that 60 per cent of the cost of road building is a labor charge, 11. D. Falrbank, editor of the Department of Agriculture’s Road Magazine, pointed out that this would make approximately $375,000,000 available for hiring unemployed. This amount, he estimated, would provide employment for 800,000 men the greater part of the year. Between 20,000 and 23,000 miles of road can be built if all the money is expended. A first class hard surfaced highway can now be built for less than $30,000 a mile. Many States have discontinued work until the cost has dropped below the $30,000 mark.
