Mysteries Of
War Unsolved
After 2 Year.


New York, Nov. s. Although
two years are now past since the
signing of the armistice and the
millions of American citizen sol
diers and sailors ars now safely
back at civilian pursuits, there still
remain hundreds of homes where
days and nights are spent in anxi-
Gus waiting for definite news OF
the boys who went away, bur who
failed to return.
1t is in the hope of clearing up,
mysteries that the International
News service, cooperating with the
American Legion weekly, is pub
fishing these records of missing
men. 1t is believed probable tnat
readers of these columns may know
some of the men listed herein and
may be able to give that informa-
ton that is SO eagerly sought by
grieving relatives.
A typical case is that OF Earl
Dudley Scott, who was corporal
in Co. l. of the 126th division.
When the 124th was thrown into
the breach to stop the German ad-
vance near Chateau-Thierry, S OFT
was wounded. This was July u
1918. Later he was reported killed
and still later it was reported that
he was returning to the United
States with a casual detachment.
The detachment appeared but Scott
was missing. Anyone who knows
of the fate or whereabouts of this
man should communicate with the
Red Cross Home service, Green
field, Mass, which will forward the
information to his relatives.
