arguable that for the present the con

Had the war continued much longer
Brazil would have entered hot stride

her population of moie than a scoie of

Washington, 1). t' Jnn. 29.
CONFLICTING reports with regard to
the War Department's intentions In
the matter of the return of our soldier
dead from Huropo eontlnuj to agitate 11
number of Philadelphia families. As late
as December 2 the adjutant general g.io
notice th.it the bodies would be returned
nt the expento of tho government as soon
ns the work could be conveniently entered
upon. Meanwhile reports have rone out
from Washington indicating that many
patriotic relatives h.ivo preferred that the
houies of their loved ones should remain
upon the other side. II. K Shenton. prcsl
dent of the Philadelphia Meter Company,
Is not one of these, nnd there nre many
others like ltlm The death of Mr. Shen
ton s son -his full name was Donald
Thomas Shuiton was one of tho saddest.
The voung man enlisted in Compuny V..
lilSd Heglment, Hnglnecis, Twtnty-scventh
Division, and 'became a corporal. He aur
vivid the righting and was able to eon
gratulate his brother Kdvvnrd, who was
in tht same leghnent. upon the armistice
and too prospicls of nn earlv leturti to
the I'nlted States: but on November 20.
alter hostilities had ended, he was killed
along with 11 number of his comrades,
while engaged in -f moving tank mines
from tho roads. VI. 0 joung man was
buried with military honors iu a cemetery
at Vlgneulles, but the parents believe tho
tem.ilns should be restored to them for
Riiitnblo interment In the land of his birth
lit this thy are sustained by the expressed
desires of manv other American parents,
who do not entertain the notion which has
held in mutter of-fact nnnv circles that
"one place Is as good as another" for a
viid.er to be reurtied to mother eirth.

would most 'llkelv be knighted. It Is only
the Constitution of the I'nlted States and
.1 little matter of cltlenshlp nppntontlv
that stands In the way of similar honors
being conferred upon the President and
unmet oils urmv and naval officers who
have likewise been winning the favor of
foreign governments during the war, Po
far us Peck Is concerned, he has probably
earned all the distinction Knglnnd can be
stow. He was a booster for John Hull
long befoie the war and he kept It up ill
lie - ", mill during the w.n
Iu one thing,
however, he prob.ibl.v 111 ule .1 step In ad
vance of American sentiment. He pro
posed that the I'nlted States should c-.incel
its loam to th" Allies. Subsequently an
other sinipathetio Penn.s) lvanlan, who has
migrated to New York, the foinier Attor
nev Central. Croige W. Wickcrsh 1111, pro
posed the same thing. The Idta has not

It Is highly probable that ir Messrs. Dock
