STILL SEEKING
 MISSING MEN

partment reported months ago that there were no more cases of missing men on the records of the American Expeditionary forces, parents still are seeking word of sons reported dead but who they have reason to believe did not die as the army rec ords reported them to have died The American Legion Weekly, co-operat- ing with Thes Times is endeavoring to clear up these unsolved mysteries or soldier sons for bereaved relatives.
 Two cases cited herewith are typ1- cal of hundreds of others. Sergt Frederick H. Baynes, Co. G, II 4th Inf, and Buie W. Boydon, Co. G, 7th Inf, both were reported killed in ac- tion. Months later friends said they saw these men in hospitals. Did they die later, did the shock of their wounds unba1ance their minds, or were the friends mistaken who be- lieved they saw these men? These are questions readers of The Times may be able to answer.
 Baynes was reported killed in ac- ton, October 12, 1918. A friend told his mother he saw Baynes alive on April ', 1919. Anyone who can verify either report is asked to communi- cate with Mrs. F A.
