THE organ rectals by Prof. Sum
ner Salter of Williamstown proved
the musical event of the season. I'm.
derstanding so thoroughly the science
and art of effects to be obtained from
a grand organ, Prof Salter leaves
nothing undone to accomplish the
most charming results.
His opening number was the grand
march from Wagner's "Tannhauser
which he rendered with peculiar
strength and effect. In the overture
to "Oberon' there was not one OF
its delicate beauties, not refinement
of expression nor a shade of EN-
phasis to which the performer did not
give the closest and NEST intelligent
care in producing Atlanta Tele-
gram.

Raymond ]. Saunders, late lieuten-
ant in the United States Air Service,
oath Aero Squadron. was last seen by
his comrades on October %, 1918,
when he was engaging in combat
twelve enemy planes over Breullis,
France, about fifteen miles northwest
of Verdun. After a lapse of two years
his friends and relatives are again
trying to get definite word of his fate,
and the American Legion Weekly, CO.
operating with The Palladium, is try
ing to aid in clearing up the mystery.
If any reader has any information
about the death or burial of Lieuten-
ant Saunders, he should communicate
with Homer Key, Box 116, Holden
vile, Okla.
This is one Of many war mysteries
that are still uncieared. Hundreds of
men, not all of whom served in the
front lines, suddenly ceased all COM
munication with their relatives. Some
times the war department said they
were dead or missing in action
But they have dropped out of sight.
Are they victims of aphasia and do
they wander in strange places, una
ware of even their own names?
1t is believed that in every case
there is at least some one person who
can clear up the mystery. 1t is in this
hope that The Palladium in conjunc-
ton with the American Legion Week
ly, is printing the records of missing
men.
