PUL|TzER'S FATE
 STILL A MYSTERY
Nothing Heard From Rescue Vessel Searching For
 Missing Mail Boat.

Information as to the fate of mail beat Joseph Pulitzer on the Seward to Unga run is still lacking, accord ing to a statement made this morning by Gov. Thomas Riggs. The Pulitzer has been missing since December 15, when it left Unga Bay for Un5a where it should have arrived within three days.
 Yesterday morning the Naval Radio Service at Bremerton sent out I wireless notice to all vessels in the district calling attention to the facI that the vessel was missing. Tie Coast Guard cutter Snohomish recent ly ordered to proceed from Port Angeles to the Alaska Peninsula to search for the Pulitzer. has not been heard from since that time Gov. Riggs is making an effort to get into communication with the cutter through the local Naval radio station
 While it has been reported that possibly seven persons were aboard the Pulitzer when she left Uyak Bay this has not been confirmed It is thought that something definite re g2rding the vessels passenger list and cargo will be learned when tEo steamer Northwestern makes DOT, to day from the Westward.

.MOUNTAINEERS LACK
FAITH IN OFFERS Of
GOVERNMENT HELP
I Wasn't Any Hero Soldier
and Didn't Get Shot is
Reply of Men to Queries.

WASHINGTON Dec. 81, PD-
Il wasn't any hero soldier and didn't
get shot, but just so blown up trying
to put out a fire in camp.
This statement was made to MEM
bers of the United States Veterans
bureau in Buchanan, Nirsinia by Il
man whose face had nearly been blown
away by gasoline explosion in
france. He was surprised that the
government should offer him compen-
.ation. rhis displays one tNpc of is
nolance which has been met in work
for war veterans in the hill country of
Virginia and West Virginia.
In some sections it was thought that
unless a man had been a marked hero,
or shot in battle, that he was not en-
titled to anything. Investigation in
other hill regions shows that many eX-
soldiers are suspicious of the aims of
the government They are wary of the
efforts of the War Veterans Bureau in
their behalf, because of misunder-
standing of the governments purpose.
The idea prevails, according to mem
hers of the "Clean-Up squad and
other agents of the Veterans Bureau,
that the government compensation is
either pension that goes to all men
who saw service, or q slick move ON
the part of the government to set them
back into the army.
Those who looked upon the govern
ment relief as a pension could not see
why one man was getting SIS month,
another SIG, and still another close to
$50. Among some, the efforts of the
/ Veterans Bureau were thought to be
for the purpose of making a new draft
list to get them back into the army
because they were required to make
application before the government
would give them compensation.
In the "moonshine' localities, ac-
cording to the agents of the Veterans
Bureau, there was the fear at first
that they might be "reVenOoers.
Much of this fear has now been over
come.
some thrilling experiences have been
reported in the hills of West Virginia
! by nurse of the Veterans Bureau,
who has had to do much of her travel
ling on horseback and foot, because
Of The Task Of transportation facilities.
/ ON one occasion she was picked up by
a group of men in an automobile who
recognized her and offered to tote"
her some six or eight miles. She got
in the car and minded her own busi-
ness, but she had to rest her heels
high on several dtmiiohns of corn
likker" and had several waits ON her
trip while deliveries were being made.
