LEGION HUNTING
 FOR LOST FLYER

Raymond J. Saunders, late lieu tenant in the United States Air Service, 94th Aero Squadron, was last seen by his comrades on October 22, 1918, when he was en- gazing in combat twelve enemy planes over Bruelis, France, about fifteen miles northwest of Verdun, After lapse of two years his friends and relatives are again try ing to get definite word of his fate and the American Legion Weekly, cooperating with The Empire is trying to aid in clearing up the mystery. If any reader has any in formation about the death or burial cf Lt Saunders, he should com municate with Homer Key, Box 116, Holdenville, Okla.
 This is one of many war mys teries that are still uncleared. Hun dreds of mon, not all of whom served in the front lines, suddenly ceased all communication with their relatives Sometimes the War De- partment said they were dead or missing in action" Again, they were reported only slightly wound 1 ed, But they dropped out of sight. Are they victims of asphasia and do they wander in strange places, un- aware of even their own names? It is believed that in every case there is at least some one person who can clear up the mystery. It is 1 in this hope that The Empire in conjunction with the American ! Legion Weekly. is printing the records of missing men.
