has served to shatter the last hope of
Even Mackenzie, father of the young

was revived somewhat by the statement
Of Major General c. r. Edwards in Barre
early this month that there was a slight
chance of an error in the transmission
of the message of death. The notifca-
ton from the graves registration service
was received since the statement of Ma
ior General Edwards was made and it
seems to leave no doubt of the original
report. 1t gives the date of Private Mac
Kennels death rs July 20, 1918; and
following the usual form, the notification
goes on to say: "The grave location has
not been confirmed by the field force of
this service, but the notification of bur
ial has been made to us, as herein stated.
