MESSAGE TELLS
OF DEATH, NOT
SAFETY OF SON
Mrs. Guy Bittinger Hears Her
Boy Has Been Killed in 6
Last Fighting of
Wor ~,

1t. Howard B. Bittinger, son of
Mrs. Guy Bittinger, has been kille d
in France, according to word just
received here from his uncle, Capt.
Charles l.. Gyger, who is in the
government service in Switzerland
and who learned of the death of the
young officer through Red Cross Of
fcials at Berne.
Lieutenant Bittiager was born in
Omaha and lived here nearly all his
life. He was graduated from Cen
trail High schoo. and later attended
the University of Nebraska. He en-
listed in the service early in the war
and was a member of the fourteenth
aero squadron.
.> During his training at a flying
school at Fort Worth, Tex, he fell
in IA balloon with seven others.
Three of his companions were killed
and he suffered several broken ribs
and some deep cuts about the head
but as soon as he recovered suf-
ficiently, he went back to his work
Of flying. d.
The boys mother was notified
September rs that he had been
missing since August 26. A men,
Der of his squadron wrote from
France saying that no one had seen
what happened to Bittinger, that he
had simply failed to return after
one of the raids after Huns.
Later semi-official note said the
young officer was held German
prisoner. The mother felt conf
dent that her boy was still living
and was anxiously waiting to hear
of his release from German prison
