i A despatch from London says:---~ More Portland stone that was used in . StI Paul's Cathedral will be required for the tombstones of the British sol- diers who fell in France. More than 500,000 headstones will be erected there before the work is finished. They are being placed in 8,000 ¢eme- teries; some French, but the vast ma- jority containing only British dead. Thé Imperial War Graves Commis- sion has the task of erecting the head- stones for all British dead. This com- mission represents all parts of the empire that fought in the war, and is controlled by the various parliaments of the empire. Each state pays for the graves of its own dead. There has been criticism of the uni- form headstone by relatives of the dead, who desire their own design %o be placed over the graves. But the commission has pointed out that though individual memorials may, be erected in England; it is essential that absolute equality "of treatment be given all graves in France. The only difference in headstones will be the dead man's symbol of grade and regi- mental badge and an ingeription of not more than eighty letters that may be supplied by his family. A fapmsus English author, who lost a son in France, has described how in one cemetery, glancing along the lines of stones, he noticed the graves of a nurse, a private and a lisutenant-col- onel lying side by side, Already some fifty thousand graves are ready for men have chosen inscriptions for the stones. The memorials are to last as long! as stone and mortar can last. They are placed in a concrete layer, so that no change in condition of soil can ever affect them, "So for genera- tions the name of every soldier will remain in sight. Concerning the objections to the form of cemeteries and headstones, the reply is that their uniform char- acter is the proper expression of their purpose. They are the graves of young er and weére bound together by a com- mon resolve and common fate. Even if it were desirable it would not be practicable for relatives to put up their own monuments. The rich would erect different stones from the poor. The relatives in the British Isles would possibly have monuments made 'and erected in France, whereas those in remote parts of the empire would not be able to do so for years after- ward. And then there would be di- veysity in design and inscription. In each cemetery it is planned to erect 4 Stone of Remembrance. It will take the form of a block of Portland stone weighing ten tons, with the in- scription, "Their name liveth for ever- more," This, it is estimated, will last from two to three thousand years, and survive the individual markers. DOMINIONS BETTER THAN HOME LAND For Development of British Air Transport Services. A despatch from London says:-- More suitable fields for private enter- prise and for exploitation of British air transport services exist in Canada and the other Dominions and colonies than in Britain, according to a report issued by the Advisory Committee on Civil Aviation. = The British Isles; owing to the climatic conditions and their relatively small area, are not suitable for the early development of aviation in the opinion of the commit- tee, but the dominions and routes be- tween the United Kingdom and for- eign. countries 'offer better opportun- ities: State financial assistance is re- commended, limited to.a quarter of a million pounds, for the next two-year period for the development of the Lon- don-Paris, 'London-Brussels and ane other route which will permit the use of flying boats. There is no recom- mendation for trans-Atlantic air ser- vice. Loire GIANT ZEPPELIN COMES TO ENGLAND As Large Again as the R-34 That Crossed Atlantic. A despatch from London says:--The most wonderful airship in the world, the Zeppelin L-71, built by the Ger- mans to bomb New York, is about 'to arrive at Pulham, the British air sta- tion. She will be piloted to England by a mixed German and British crew. The airship has a flying radius of 12,000-miles, or more than three times the distance between London and New York. She is as large again as the British airship--the R-34--that flew to America and back. Under the terms of the peace treaty, the United States is to have a Zep- pelin also, one smaller than the L-71, and Capt.
