his whereabouts. They finally heard that a
lad by the name of Manning was at Boone,
Iowa. The town authorities were communi-

Mrs. Manning wrote to her supposed son,
and in reply received telegram saying he
would return home and requesting her to
send $40 for his travelling expenses. The
money was sent in care of the police off,
Gals of Boone, and the son was expected
to reach home at noon yesterday, or today
at the latest.
Up to 2:3O o'clock this afternoon no word
had been received at the Manning home

Mrs. Manning also said she had been in

who claims to be from Washington, and
who has given his name John Hum

meet the western trains due at APO and

Mrs. Manning said when Jack left home
nearly four years ago, the family was liv-
