Paul Jones at Rest on American Soil Annapolis, Md., July 24 In a simple brick vault in the grounds of the Naval Academy today lie the remains of John Paul Jones, with the simple ceremony attending the landing of the body from the cruiser, Brooklyn. The Naval Expedition authorized to accomplish its transfer from the Paris cemetery, which had been its place of rest for more than a century is completed. The formal National reception of the body, with appropriate exercises is reserved until it shall be placed in a splendid Naval chapel now being erected near the site of the temporary vault. The work today consisted of the removal of the body from the Brooklyn to the Naval tug, Standish, from that to a float moored to the shore where stalwart jackies placed it in a hearse which was escorted by an imposing cortege of marines, jackies and midshipmen in which the French nation participated with a landing party of officers and men from the French cruisers Gurien**del a Gravier. The vault containing the remains of John Paul Jones is draped in crepe. Over his coffin which is visible through the broad grated doors at either end are spread American flags, stirred gently by the breeze. Outside paces an armed sentry. Hornick-Ferner L. G.
