missing" SOLDIER ALIVE
Mother Gets joyful TIdlnss From
Son She Thouaht Dead In France

Bellefonte, Pa, Sept. 20.--During
the last eighteen months Mrs. william
Evey, Of this place. has mourned as
dead her son, Richard W. Bvey, who
was believed to be among the missing
in France. She received q joyful shock
a few days ago when letter came from
the young man telling that he was not
only alive and we'll, but living in Jer-
sey City, where he has a wife and
child.
Richard left home IN 1915. Early
In 1917 he enlisted and was sent to
France via Newport News, Va. His
mother received a letter from him mail {.
ed on the eve Of sailing and another
one after he landed m France, and
those were the only communication
she ever received.
When the armistice was declared and
other Bellefonte soldiers returned home
she naturally looked for her son, but
he was not among them. Mrs. Evey
communicated with the War Depart
ment, but the officials there were un
able to give her definite information.
She concluded that her boy was one OF
the unidentified dead.
In the meantime his father, who
had been an invalid for many years,
died, and the son was ignorant OF that
fact, as he had received no news from
home. He said since arriving In this
country that he had written home fire
quently while In France, but had never
received any answers TO his letters.

NO DIcTATIoN ATTEMPTED

Washington, Sept. %. - Samuel
Gompers, president OF the American
Federation OF Labor aud head OF the
''nonpartisan" campaign committee Of

another broadside in behalf Of the Dem

But Mr.. Gompers then indulses In more

The docupent Is interesting chiefly
because It plrports to set forth for the
first tine what labor has accomplished
In its "nonpartisan" campaign 10 far.
That portion reads:
zoe Bailey. Of Texas, attempted to
induce the voters Of that state to re :
turn to normal, and the voters decided
to send Mr.. Bailey a great deal further
back than that. In the Alabama pri I:
maries Senator Underwood, nominated

by an electorate that, to that extent.
showed Its determination not to return
I'm Colorado Senator Thomas de-.
clined even to mike the effort to induce
the voters TO return TO normal By with
drawing from the race for re election.
In Oklahoma the nomination Of Scott
Ferris for United States Senator over
Senator Gore was q clear Indication Of
the desire Of the people of that state
to 10 on forward and not backward.
"In Pennsylvania Representative
Dewalt withdrew a. q candidate for re.
nomination, because OF tho expressed
determination Of the workers Of Ms dis
trict to 60 forward. Representative

carried his campaign for 'normalcy' to
the voters in the primary election. where
he was emphatically repudiated. Rep
resentative Henry J. Steele, in an

lowed the course adopted BY Mr.. De-
walt and withdrew rather than make
what he knew would be futile effort
In behalf Of reaction.

looking forces Of labor, and again the
expression Of the people was against

BIRTHDAY FOR HOG ISLAND
Monster shlpbuIidIns Plant 10 Three
Years Old Today

This is the third anniversary Of the
to the worlds largest shipbuilding yard,
on Hog Island shipyard.
Transformed from marshy wasteland
to the words largest shipbuilding yard
Hog Island has launched 122 steel ships,
including 10 cargo carriers. eleven
troop transports and one naval aircraft
tender, with a total Of 958,75O dead
weight tons.
One hundred and three Of the vessels
have been delivered to the United States
Shipping Board, Emergency Fleet Cor
poration and the United States army.
The one hundred and third vessel was
the cargo carrier Cody. named for
Americas pioneer plainsman. which
sailed for Galveston. Tex. flying the
pennant of the state Of Wyoming. A
photograph of William F. Cody. bet
ter known as Buffalo BILL" hangs in
the main cabin Of the ship.
The tonnage turned out at Hog
Island represents over ten per cent Of
the total deadweight Of contract steel
ships built during the war In all the
shipyards of the United States, and so
per cent Of the output Of Delaware
river shipyards' output of cargo and
passenger vessels since April, 1917.
1t would require fifteen days for the
vessels built at Hog Island to pass
through the Panama canal under the
present regulations.
Bids for the purchase OF Hog Island
will be opened tomorrow, according to
word from Washington. Among these
bids is one made by a group OF Phila
delphia financial and industrial leaders.
