RETURN OF BODIES
Philadelphia!!, Back From Tour
of Franco, Wants Soldier
Dead to Stay There
GERMANY RECONSTRUCTING
Owen Wlster. who rottirnocl to the
city today from Trance, says Americans
arc tho only ones returning their sol
dier dead to their homeland from the
eolt of Trance. Mr. 'WtHter nrrlved on
the Finland yesterday In New Vork.
He Slid he met no one nbroad who
did not feel American soIcIIith should
be left burled in the same land where
they had fallen, lie advocated brltiR
ins home onlv one bodv that of one
of tho unknown dead to bo buried at
tho foot of the Lincoln Monument In
Washington.
Much of his eight months' oojourn in
Kuropo was opent amotiR tlw battle
fields and in the cemeteries of trance,
viewing progress of reconstruction since
his trip of almost two yenrs before.
Mr. Wlster said the German people
were more united in their efforts to re
turn to n pre-war status than the
French or the English. In Germany,
he said, the rate of exchange was still
to low a meal tould he purchased for
twelve cents.
Didn't Visit Germany
"I opent four months in Franco and
though I did not vMt Gormany I met
many who did." Mr. "Wister wild
"Thcv told mo that the Germans are
working hard and that they are more
united than either the English or the
French. They are evincing a ery firm
recuperation.
"I saw tho battlefields of Trance two
rears ago and my recent trip there
was to see what progress hnd been
made bv the Government. They are
undoubtedly tho saddest sight that I
witnessed, but next in sadness were the
American cemeteries. During my entire
visit I did not come in contact with one
person who advocated tho return of our
hero dead to thcc shores.
"Tho graves are exceedingly well kept
in the military cemeteries. This Is par
ticularly true of the British graves
Each one has a headstone with the name
of the soldier lying beneath it. ni well
ns the name of his regiment and hi"
insignia. These English cemeteries ar.'
the most beautiful I have ever been In
Franco, with their well-kept ground
profusely decorated with (lowers and
shrubbery.
French Are ralthful
"We are tho only people who are
taking their soldier dead home The
English, the Australian", the New
Zealanders and nil other Allies have left
their bodies in the care of the From li
peoplo and the latter are faithful to
their trust. I have neer met nn one
who does not feel the same as our
allies that the men, who hae sacrificed
their lives, should remntn undisturbed
in their present resting places.
"But I am in favor of bringing home
one unknown soldier whose body should
have a nation's tribute paid to it as
symbolical of all those whose idenlit
will never be known. England and
Trance have honored their unknown
dead, in this manner, the former at
Westminster Abbey, the latter at the
Arc de Triomphc.
"Marshal Toeh is coming to this
countrj in tho fall. His uit should
bo made the occasion of the greatest
' celebration in our history to our un
known heroes He will be accompanied
In some of the greatest men of France.
What could he more fitting if we
brought one of our bens, whose name
will necr be Known, to this countrj
at that time and reinterment he made
nt the foot of the Lincoln Monument
in Washington with fitting ceremonies?
Wants legion to Act
"I select the Lincoln Monument, for
it occupies one of the mot venerated
spots in America. Mount Vernon Is nln
appropriate, but It is too inaccrsible
to the public. The Nation's capital is
the proper city for the lit t resting
place of one of our unknown heroes,
who will 'symbolize tne thousands of
those who lie in graves bejond the
teas, unnamed but equally honored
"In my opinion the American Legion
should take this matter up and arrange
the celebration so that it rnn take place
when Foch and the other distinguished
visitors to Ameriia this fall."

surprised to hear them speak of the
pleasure of handling Royal Cord
Tires.
The cleanliness of the transac
tion. The fine kind of people
attracted to dieir stores. The free
dom from worry. Satisfied, per
manent customers. Steady dema?id
as against "spotty" sales.
There is so much glib talk these
days of "merchandising" in the
abstract, that perhaps some have
overlooked the need of a man being
happy as well as prosperous.
What keeps business more satis
fying than the pleasure of dealing
in quality? Of having the authority
of quality? Of creat
ing self-respect both
in buyer and seller?
