LEGION CLEARED
| MANY MYSTERIES
Legion Campaign Helps
Parents to Hear of Their
Sons Deaths.
FEW MORE LISTED

Scores of cases where American SOL
dlers are reported to have been seen
by friends after being officially pro-
nounced dead by the war department
have come to light in the American
Legion's campaign to clear away the
uncertainty surrounding the fate of
missing sons of heartbroken parents in
all parts of the United States. Such
cases predominant among the more
than 1000 unsolved mysteries of the
war which the Kenosha Evenings News
in cooperation with the American
Legion Weekly is appealing to its read
ers to clarity.
Officially Dead, But Alive.
Fred G. Pippert sailed for France on
September 10, 1918, from Camp Gordon,
where he was member of Co. C, 4th
Replacement Reg. In December, 1918,
his parents received official notice of
his death on October 8, at Brest. One
of the soldiers friends is reported to
have seen him alive and well on Octo-
Der 18th. Later, the war risk insur-
ance bureau reported that he died at
Camp Gordon on September End, which
is known to be Incorrect. Red Cross
representatives made a search Of all
hospitals in the United States but
found no trace of Pippert.
Anyone having any information
about the case is asked to forward it
to Mr.. and Mrs. Adam Pippert, Dysart,
Iowa. Their anxiety, which it is in the
power of someone, somewhere, TO re-
lieve, can be best appreciated by rela-
tives Of the hundreds Of other missing

itely determined. By arrangement
