Johnstown, Pa, June 5.—Delay is no
longer possible. The decomposed, corpses
will inevitably .breed pestilence ..if
longer exposed to the air. At the first
brqak of dawn Tuesday morning orders
were issued to push preparations for the
gigantic burial with all possible speed.
Where there was no reasonable hope for
identification the bodies were buried at
once. It is probable' that by evening
there were at least 8,000 new graves in
the valley, many of which will be un¬
marked for all time.
