LEGION CLEARING
PERSONAL RECORDS
Furnishes Information of Fallen Sol
diers From Buddie and Friends
On Field.

New York, Aug. 30.-The American
Legion is making an effort to mitigate
distressing phase of the aftermath of
war, the 1000 personal mysteries Of
the great struggle of men who are
classified in army and navy lists as
missing in action" KILLED in battle
and presumably dead" The work has
been rewarded with some success it is
announced. In several instances the
Legion Weekly has obtained for a
mother more and clearer details of
how her service son died. or put a
wife in touch with the comrades of
her husband, missing in action"
Requests of relatives and friends of
soldiers, sailors, marines, and military
nurses about whose fate little is
known, are being sent to newspapers
throughout the country for publica-
ton. Results of this publicity are
carefully tabulated at offices here.
All ''buddies," officers, doctors,
nurses or welfare workers, who may
know something of the person of
whom information is sought, are in
vited to communicate with the friends
or relatives. Each week a long list of
"mys teries' are published in the Le-
gion's organ and frequently number
of men and women who served in the
war, but who failed to each home, is
sent to the newspapers.
The current result list of the Legion
contains the following instances where
desired information was furnished.
Mrs. Catherine Holbeck, of Allen
town, Pa. asked for information con-
corning the circumstances surround
ing the death of her son, Sergeant
Joseph Holbeck of Company C, 109th
Machine Gun Battalion, 2Sth Division,
who died in French hospital. The
mother received a Letter from DR.. Jo-
seph Lintz, of New FORK, who at
tended the dying sol iier, giving de-
tails of his last hours.
Mrs. Lola Mason, of McRae, Ca,
asked for information that would
throw some light on the disappear
ance of her son, f. Mason, Jr., cor
poral, S3rd Company, Sixth Marines.
The soldier wrote his mother Elat he
would be home for Christmas 1918, but
did not appear and nothing further
was heard of him. Mrs. Mason re-
ported that she received two letters,
one from the son himself saying that
he had recovered from long illness.
Many curious and touching appeals
are received. A mother wants to know
if her son, who died in a field hospi-
tai, said anything on his death bed
Another parent whose son was gassed,
captured and afterward died, desires
information from his comrades as to
what kind of gas was used and how
it affects men. Information is sought
of an Army nurse who was last heard
of enroute to France two years ago. Al
distressed family seeks word from the
''buddies" of it's soldier who was last
seen walking a battlefield wounded.

Show Big Increase.

Oil exports from Mexico during the
first six months of 1920 totaled co..
100000 barrels, an increase of 70 per
cent over 1919. AT this rate total
exports for the year are expected to
reach 135,000,00O barrels.
The review states that of the 231..
200 square miles of Mexican territory
believed to contain oil deposits. not
more than 800 square miles are be-
ing exploited. Curtailment of pro-
duction is ascribed to lack of trans
portation and storage facilities and
to the unsettled political conditions.
OF the $3.50, 100000 estimated to be
invested in the Mexican oil industry,
about 20 per cent represents Ameri-
can capital, the review says. About
q per cent is British and Dutch cap
ital and 3 per cent Mexican and other
interests. TWenty-seven companies
are producing oil in Mexico, II of
which are American owned, five
Spanish-MeXican, three Dutch and
two British. The United States re-
ceived II per cent of the oil exported
during the first six months of 1920.
