MYERS COMES BACK AS
LIEUT.. WITH CLEAN SLATE

(AOutluucQ IOkn 40kC WIG.
Later on we received 4 telegram
from d. E. White, a former Canadian
army officer, but who is now chief
Of the Council Of Defense of the Do
minion, asking what we knew regard
ing Myers. We replied that SO far
as we knew he was all right and told
further of the stories which were
floating around here about him. We
received a letter back from Major
White to the effect that Myers was
genuine and that he had splendid
record in the army and that the Can
adam Council of Defense would spare
no effort or expense in running down
the originator of the stories.
Within few days aCaptain Braun,
of the Canadian forces called us up
from the Department of Justice off
ces at Lansing, where he was visit
ing and could net give Sergt. Myers
praise enough for his part in the bat
ties which the Canadian army had
fought. Captain Braun stated that
Myers Nas in his company and that he
knew Myers to be gentleman and
that ha and the Canadian veterans
would appreciate any favors which
the people of this place might show
him. He further stated that Myers,
upon being discharged from the Can
adam service, had been given the
commission of lieutenant, following
the custom of the Canadian army Of
hcials of rating non-commissioned of
ficers little higher upon their being
discharged than they were rated when
in service.
Myers says that he has been Wis
iting at his old home in Memphis,
Tenn, and also on a southern trip
since leaving here in October. He
also said that he had been working
among the wounded in a London, Ont.
convalescent hospital for a time, but
that not being much of a writer, he
had failed to write a great deal
At present he is in the city in CT
william clothes and is talking over old
times in the early days of the war
with two other returned Canadian
soldiers who are visiting at the home
