Avenue. the Bronx. u widow, who
wants 10 know definitely whether her
eighteen ycar-o!i boy, Arthur VIM
cent IIeEucy. has died in France for
his country
Something has gone wrong with
the War Dep,rement's notification
system and already it has made Mrs.
Hegncy seriously III.
1t is known that several New York
boys most OF them members OF the
Rainbow Division. are on tho latest
War Department; list OF men killed
In action. The list includes the name
OF Hegney. but tine mother will not
give UP her tortured hope until she
gets personal message.
The notification system Is supposed
10 work almost automatically. When
n list OF casualties is received at
Washington, 1t is somebody's husi-
ness 10 send personal message to
the emergency address that the sol
dtcr gave at the time of his enlist
mcnt
So long as Mrs. lIcgney does not
receive such message she clinss to
the hope that there may have been
a mistake In the list. But 10 know
that Is what she nced5-an all ~
her kilograms have remained unan-
swercd.
Furthermore, she has daughter
who Is a secretary In tho Government
employ AT Washington, aud this
daughter also has been unable 10 con-
firm the bare showing OF the casualty
list. Tho Evening World has verified
the fact that Hegncys name does ap-
near on the list. But that is all.
