Pictures to be Taken of Graves of Americans Killed in Action

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Dec. 17. (By the Associated Press) The organization has been announced of a branch ot the army whose sole duty is to arrange for the proper burial of our soldiers who die in France and for the care of their graves. Every detail has been worked out and the American organization is expected to surpass similar organizations in the British and French armies as the best features have been taken from both. The new organization is known as the ''Graves' Registration Service." It is under the direction of a regular array major and is a dicision of the office of the chief quartermaster and through that office is directly responsible to Qeneral Pershing. The service chief also is superintendent of all American cemeteries in Europe and as such is responsible for their proper care and maintenance.-1

. Many villages and parishes In this section of France also have set aside plots for any American dead, and those graves already occupied have been cared for tenderly by the French as well as the Americans. In one instance, the grave of a sergeant was promptly cared for by the villagers a few hours after the burial service. An American officer who then paid a visit there, found the mound accurately rounded and heaped with flowers and already marked with & cross in which had been carved the sergeant's name and organization and the French authorities, with a touching apology, promised that the cross should be painted the next morning.
