BAXTER KEY DENIES OFFICIAL
REPORT THAT HE is DEAD

1.-THE government insists that | am
dead, but, on the contrary, | am very
much alive, says Pvt. Nat Baxter
Key of Monoville, one of the wounded
heroes of the SIND division, who is
stationed at general hospital No. 6
at Fort Mcpherson, Ga, and who was
reported as killed on October Id.
A few days ago, Bakers brother,
DIR. K. f. Key, received a notice from
the government announcing the pay
ment of the life insurance policy ON
his life which, of course, was readily
declined. "Why didn't you keep quiet
and get that ten thousand dollars"
said a fellow sufferer to Baxter.
'tYou could have bought a new foot
then" In reply, Baxter said: Il just
don't want the government to think
that l would let a d-German outwit
me-"
Immediately upon Baxter's arrival
at Fort Mcpherson from France, DR..
Key and Jesse Key went to that place
and found Baxter going around on
crutches, but otherwise very much
alive. Baxter said that he was wound
ed by bullet from q German machine
gun in the Argonne forest on Octo-
Der 5 and was sent back to a base
hospital for treatment. On October
IA, an officer at the hospital sent a
cablegram to his mother stating that
he was dead, and on the same day, the
head nurse wrote a letter to his moth
er describing his death. Baxter said
that fourteen men out of his ward died
on October IA and he thinks that a
mistake in names occurred. He knew
nothing of the messages that had been
sent until he arrived in Norfolk on
December 2 and received response to
a telegram which he sent his family
Immediately on arriving.
