SEARCH FOR THOSE
LOST IN THE WAR
IS CONTINUED BY
AMEM CAN Ii G| D \

Scores of cases where American
soldiers are reported 20 have been seen

nounced dead by the war department
have come to light in the American
legions campaign to clear away the
uncertainty surrounding the facts of
missing sons of heartbroken parents
in all parts of the United States.
Such cases predominate among the
more than 1000 unsolved mysteries
Of the war which The Daily Ardmore-
ite in cooperation with the American
Legion Weekly, is appealing to its

ceived official notice of his death on
Oct 8, at Brest France. One of the
soldiers friends is reported to have
seen him alive and we'll on october
IL. Later, the war risk insurance bu-
reau reported that he died at Camp
Gordon on September q, which is
known to be incorrect. Red Cross rep
resentatives made search of all hos
pitfalls in the United States but found
no trace Of Pippert.
Anyone having any information
about the case is asked to forward
1t to Mr.. and Mrs. Adam Pippert, Dy-
sart. Iowa. Their anxiety, which it is
in the power Of someone, somewhere
to relieve, can be best appreciated by

definitely determined. By arrangement
with the American Legion Weekly
The Daily Ardmoreite herewith pre-
sents the following cases and will
print others from time to time:
