SOLDIER MENTALLY
 UNBALANCED Priv. Henry C. Caspar Picked Up In Pomfret While Act
 ing Strangely. dered Away From Hospital In
 Norfolk, Mass,

Mentally deranged through wounds received in service in France. Private Henry C. Caspar, I Company, 858rd Infantry. was detailed home and was sent to the Norfolk County hospital in Massachusetts. He wandered away from that institution and arrived in this vicinity.
 Private Gaspar was overtaken by d Pomfret man in an automobile while on the way home on Tuesday He stepped and asked the soldier where he was going. and the reply was to Hartford He was asked to get into the machine and was taken as far as Pomfret station. There he seemed to be confused and did not know where he wanted to go or what he wanted to do It was finally decided by the auto driver that the soldier was not right mentally
 Another man was secured to bring the soldier to Putnam and he started with him, but had not gone far be- fore Caspar sprang from the ear and disappeared Wednesday morning the man was seen aeam and was brought here and turned over to the local exemption board. The board learned that Private Caspar lives in Runymede, Kansas. and that there is a depression in his skull to which un- doubtedly his mental trouble is due.
 His mind appeared to be quite clear at times, while at other periods he seemed to be dazed and very un- certain about many things concerning himself A hospital clinic sheet, which he had on his person and to which he chung with the greatest tenacity, es- tablished enough about Caspar to per init of getting a line on where he came from. A telephone message to the hospital brought the information that he wandered away several days ago and since then all trace of him had been lost.
 Caspar's chief ambition when he was brought to the local board office was to get a ticket to Wichita, Kan sas, from which city, he said, he could easily make his way to his home. He was anxious to see his mother, he said
 Caspar, who was in uniform, is an outstanding westener, 32 years of age. He had been several months in France, his papers showed, but he could recall little of what he had been through there
 When Caspar reached the police station with Captain Ryan he baked at sight of the cell doors and put up a tussle, but was finally put in a cell. An official came for him and took him back to Massachusetts
