BATTLE GRAVES.

THE UNDYING DEAD REST IN SHADE OF HOME. MEMORIALS ON GALLIPOLI. (by cable- press association copyright.) (.acstbalia:; and s.z. cable association'.) (Received March 6th, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, March G. Major-General Sir Fabian Ware 'Permanent Vice-Chairman of the Imperial War Graves in a paper read before the Society of Arts, on "War Cemeteries." says that the natural desire of the Dominions that their own tree's should grow near their own graves has resulted in charming experiments at Tyneeot. and Passchen. daele, where 11.000 dead lie. The central German blockhouse forms the base of a Cress of Sacrifice, and ;t curved wall includes 20.000 names of men who have no known graves. Sir Fabian says that he returned full of admiration i'cr the cemeteries on Gallipoli. There are 31 cemeteries, some on the ridge whence the Turks never dislodged our troops. A splendid view is obtainable from tho pylon, on which are inscribed the names ■>£ 3840 Australians and 1007 New Zealanders who were reported missing, and also 12,508 other Australians and New Zealanders who died.

As ships pass through the Dardanelles they will see on the high ground above Cape Hellcs a monument as big as the Colossus of Hhodes, commemorating other missing and dead, including 200 Australians killed at Cape Utiles. This will be completed in the autumn.
