DICTIONARIES of Kings County will
hold their annual convention on to-

produce series of lively debates
One report has it that the Kings
County posts are prepared to throw
their hats into the political ring" and
that their slogan will be get into pol
tiles" The reason is said to be that
they are disgusted with the Indifferent
attitude of the public toward the
wounded and disabled ex-service men
and are determined to get into politics
so they themselves can see that they
are taken care Of.
The first night Of the convention

invited to address the veterans. Fol-
lowi-E the election Of Il permanent
chairman, the convention will vote for

Cnsolved mysteries of the World
War, involving the death or disap-
pearance of more than 1000 members
of the A. E. F., are to be solved by
the American Legion if campaign
planned by the veterans organiza-
ton is carried out successfully.
The mysteries are cases where Of
fetal action has run its course and
terminated with the always brief and
sometimes conflicting reports of
missing in action" "killed in battle"
or presumed to be dead" In each
case it is claimed that definite or de-
tailed information has not been re-
celved by the family of the soldier
or sailor in question. How many
more than 1000 such cases there may
be is not known, but the american
Legion Weekly" has received that
number of letters from the kin and
friends of missing men.
There are instances where it ap-
pears that men sailed for France and
straightway disappeared from the
face OF the earth. No conclusive
word ever has been received of their
fate. There are cases by the score of
men reported to be wounded" or
slightly wounded" and no other word
until months later, perhaps, curt Of
fetal announcement, presumed to be
dead" There are cases where men
have been reported to be dead on
certain date, when later their rela-
tives have received letters written by
the soldiers own hands on the same
date.

however, is from gold-starred mothers
