Xconficting reports sent out by the wal
Ipepartment as to the fate Of the young
|oficer we're explained yesterday.
II appears that Captain Lukens. Sc
n verely wounded, managed to make nus
way from the front line to a clunp OF
woods some distance In the rear where
he COLLAPSED. He was found by men
! from another unit and taken to a hos
pital many miles from the sector held
nv his division. the Seventy-ninth.
He had removed his shoulder straps
and captains bars before going into ac-
ton, as was the csutom of all officers,
and as he died without regaintng con-
seriousness, 1t was some time before the
hospital authorities managed to find
out his name and rank through his
Identification tag. The reason OFFICERS
remove the insignia Of rank was TO
make It as difficult as possible for tina
German Shippers to pick them off.
In the meantime he was first reported
missing by the intelligence officer OF his
Later he was reported wound
ed on the strength of a statement from
two enlisted men who said they saw him
making rs way to the rear and finally
he was reported dead by the hospital.
How he came TO be listed as "acclden-
tally killed in y~esteday's casualty roll,
however. has not been cleared up.
The details of Captain Lukens's death
were given to his parents by a soldier
named Stewart, who halls from Saranac
Lake, N. Y, but happened to be spend
ing a few days in Philadelphia and read
in the newspapers of the uncertainty &c
what really happened to the Main Line
