The American Legion is carrying
on the>search for solutions to more
than 1000 individual death and dis
appearance mysteries among soldiers
and sailors of the American Expedl-
tionary forces. These are cases
where official action has run us
course and terminated with the al
WAYS brief conflicting reports Or
smissing 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-
ceiyed by the fanny of the soldier or
sailor in question.
How many more than 1000 such
cases there may be it not known, put
the American Legion Weekly has re-
ceived that number of letters from

that men sailed for France ana
straightway disappeared from the

"slightly wounded" and no other
word, until, months later, perhaps,
the curt official announcement OF
"presumed to be dead" Cases are re-
ported of men reported dead, then
wounded, later returned to duty.
But the men have not come home.
There are cases where men have BEEN
reported dead on certain date, out
members of their families received let
tiers written by their soldier kin's
own hand at later date. There are
cases where families have received
unofficiar report that their soldier
kin were seen alive after the date
of his official demise.
BY far the largest class of letters,
however, are those from gold star
mothers seeking word from COM
rade who was with her son when he
fell The War Decentralization,

markedly accurate in accounting for

great sacrifice.

most poignant personal column in the
world. Every item carries its burden
of human sorrow or breathes a hope
that will not die. It is a column

heroism of the manhood of America
