HUSBAND Is FOUND
IN NAVY; WIFE NOW
WILL GET ALLOWANCE
News-Times Special Service /:


ROCHESTER. Ind, April %. -
Something like two years ago, Har-
old Raymond Vollmer. of Bremen,
was united in marriage with a SYRIA
cuse telephone operator and not
long afterward abandoned her and
left the country. After he had left
his wife. a child was born and the
mother was compelled to continue
20 work in order TO support herself
and the child as her mother was a
poor woman who washed for q. liv-
ing and had no means of support
for the unfortunate daughter and
her child.
Recently. A. L. Miller, Of the
Syracuse Telephone Co, asked Rep.
Barnhart to try to find out if Noll-
mer miSht be in the army or navy
and on Saturday he had a telegram
from the congressman saying that
he had found Vollmer enlisted in
the navy. He assumed service in
April, 1917, having enlisted from
Oklahoma City and given his
mother, Mrs. Lydia Nollmer. of Bre-
men, as his nearest OF kin. Voll-
mers wife will now make applica-
ton for allowance from his salary
for the support Of herself and her
child and as soon as she proves her
title in the case she will get S25
per month. Nollmer is a plumber
and his last assignment was at the
naval operating base, at Hampton
Roads. Va. although he may have
been transferred from that station,
on which possibility the navy de-
partment will soon report.
