ap LEGION:CLEARS 8"! {(°) MYSTERIES OF MISSING YANKS Makes Effort to Secure Infor. mation About Service Men - Lost or Missing TISH EARL, | GOES TO PRISON ‘4, MANY MEN ARE LOCATED , Details of Service Prove of Val- ue and Relief to the Folks at Home _ New York, Aug. 30.—The American Legion is making an effor€ to mitigate a distressing phase of the aftermath of war, the 2,000 personal mysteries of the great struggle of men who are classified in army and navy list# as “missing in action,” “killed in bat- tle’ and “presumably _dead.” The work -has been rewarded with some sitcess, it is announced. In several instances the Legion Weekly has ob- -tained for a mother more clearer de- tails of how her service son died, or put a wife in touch with the com- rades of her husband, “missing in ac- tion.” Requests of relatives and friends of soldiers; sailors, marines, and military nurses about whose fate lit- tle is known, are being sent to news- 4 papers -throughout the country for publication. Results of this publicity are carefully tabulated at offices here. “Mysteries” Published All’ “buddies,” officers, doctors} nurses or welfare workers, who mav -know something of ithe person of whom information is sought, are in- vited to communieate with the friends or relatives. Each week*a long list of “mysteries” are published ‘in the Legion’s organ and frequently a num- ber of names of men and women who served in’the war; but who failed to reach home, is sent to the news- papers. i. The current result list fef the Le- gion contains the following instances -where desired information was fur- nishéd: Mrs. Catherine Holbeck, of Allen- town, Pa., asked for information con- cerning ‘the circumstances surround- ing the death of her son, Sergeant Jo- seph Holbeck of Company C, 109th, Machine Gun battalion, 28th division, who died in a French hospital.-- The mother received a letter from Dr. Jo- seph Lintz, of New York who attend- ed the dying soldier, giving details of his last hours. i Son Writes Mrs. Lola Mason, of McRae, Ga., asked for information that would throw some light on the disappear- ance of her son, F. Mason, Jr., cor- poral, 83rd Company, Sixth Marine The soldier wrote his mother that he would be home for Christmas 1915, but did not appear and nothing fut ther was/heard of him. Mrs: Ma- spn reported that she ‘received “two letters, one from the son’ himself say- ing that he had regovered from a long illness. Many curious and touching appeals are received’ A mother wants to know if her son, who died in a field hospital “said anything on his death bed.” Another parent whose gon was gassed, captured and afterward died, desires information from.,his com- rades as to what kind of gas was used and how it affects men. Informa- tion is sought of an army nurse who was last heard of enroute to France two’ years ago. A distressed family seeks ;word, from the “buddies” of its sdldicr who was last seen walking a battlefield wounded. ’ RUSSIANS SELL SWEDISH FLAX Stockholm, Aug. 30.—Despite a pro- test from the Swedish. government, 400 tons of flax belonging to, the Swedish Flax Association are being offered for sale in Reval by the pres- ent soviet authorities.
