Huge Grave for Unidentified Dead
One of the survivors to night iden
t lied the body of Mrs. K. P. Shvmer,
of New Y'urk, the American widow of
an English nobleman, who subsequently
married an American and had been
living in Now Y'ork. She was on her
way to London an i her name probably
will be added to the list of American
dead. Her body will be sent bark to
the United States as well as those of
the -others, some of them starting to
night.
A whole company of British soldiers
to-day completed the digging of three
huge graves, each 30 by 20 feet, in
whu h the one hundrei. and forty odd
unidentified dead will be buried to
morrow. The moving of bodies up the
hill to the cemetery will begin at 9.30
n. m. and continue until 1.30 p. m.
Then at the last ten or a dozen—the
number to be determined by the hearses
available—moves to the cemetery the
funeral procession will form and march
to the graves. Mounted police, soldiers
and civilians will participate. There
will be a .joint service, clergymen of all
creeds joining in saying prayers.
Cover Babies With Flowers

lie in the morgues like so many dolls.
The townspeople covered theni witl»
flowers to-day and it is probable these
little ones will be placed in a grave to

Some on crutches, many limping and
nearly all bruised, the survivors left
their hotels in silent groups throughout
the afternoon. There were some
Americans, many Canadians an I Eng
