VIM. Schall received a postal
card this morning mailed at
Vienna Sep. Bird. 1t was from
the banker in the:town in which
Mr.. Schall lived in Galacia. In
it the banker states that he re.
ceived the tickets for Mr..
Schall's wife and children to
come to this country just be-
fore the war broke out but that
he was drafted in the Austrian
army at once and since then has
seen nothing of relatives and
friends. He was sent to Wen.
ma on sick leave and wrote the
postal to Mr.. Schall asking him
if he had received any word
from his folks or the bankers
family. While he is close to
the battle front he is unable to
find out anything of his own
family and desires that Mr..
Schall write from here. The
letter has been since last Sep
TENDER reaching here. This
brings home the pathetic side
of that great struggle going on
across the water. Families
have been separated and may
never be united while many of
the male members have been
killed and it is feared that
many of the women and child
rem have starved to death. M.
Schall is absolutely withou,
news as TO the fate of his wife
and seven children and it is
impossible to reach that part of
the country with letter or tele-
gram.
