AMERICAN
LEGIC(N
WAR RoBs THREE OF MEMORY
Trio Among Most Unusual Cases on
Record at Veterans Bureau
in Washington.

Three men who have lost them
selves and whose memory does not
extend back to the war where they
received injury, are among the mdst
unusual cases on record ut the Vet
erans' bureau In Washington, D. G.,
among the long list Of war victims.
The American Legion Is endeavoring
to assist the unfortunate ex-service
men in finding their relatives.
Hayward Thompson-at least that
Is what he is now called-,is one OF
the most peculiar cases He hns for
gotten who he Is. In his head Is an
ugly slirapnel wound. His memory
goes back to January %, 1922, when
he arrived ut hotel In Denver. with
bill In his pocket from one OF the
most expensive hotels In Colorado
Springs.
In searching Washington records for
some trace of the lost man, It was
found that a certain Hayward Thomp-
son enlisted in the Marine corps June
0, 1913, and was discharged January
Q, 1919. He had wife and three
children rt Flemington, Mo-, and a
mother, Mrs. Louise Thompson, at
Chicago. The man with shrapnel
wound IN his head and no memory Of
any relatives mt all. telegrapled in
great eageFness to FIemington, Mo-,
and to Chicago. lie received no
answer.
Not so long ago a cIean-cut young
man appeared at Los Angeles huspl-
tai. He wore an American Legion
button. When questioned as 10 who
he was he stated he did not know.
II think | am thlrty-two years old"
he said. II am FIVE feet, nine inches
and weigh 100 pounds. My eyes are
grny anC l have blond halr. | be-
lieve l was q soldier. II any one can
tell me who | am, or anything about
my past, please lei me know" The
Los Angeles post OF the Legion Is max,
ing every effort to help the man find
himself.
A third unidentified living" lives
at 735 North Thirty-first street, Louis
Vile. He is known as Leonard Wells,
to the neighborhood. His memory Is
hazy. He believes that he enlisted
in the cid First Kentucky infantry,
and with the command was transferred
to replacen ent detachment and sent
to France. His photograph was for
warded to his company commander,
who recognized the face but did not

years old. at least. But nobody guessed

and receptions where beautiful ladies
went In their pretty evening dresses,
and my mother was one Of them. tHer
father was one Of the astronomers,
Nurse said.) The meetings lasted four
days, and Nurse said she guessed my
father saw lot OF my mother during
that time. Anyhow, he was invited to
their home. and he stayed another four
days after the meetings were over.
The next thing they knew here at the
house, Grandma Anderson had q tele-

he'd never cared thing for girls nor

he was a hopeless old bachelor and
wouldn't ever marry. He was bound

already beginning to be famous. be-

my name il Anderson.
I'm thirteen years old, and rm q
cross-current and a contradiction.
That Is. Sarah says I'm that (Sa-
rah Is my old nurse.) She says she
read 1t once-that the children OF
unlikes were always a cross-cur-
rent and q contradiction. And my
father and mother are unlikes, and
I'm the children. That is, I'm the
child. I'm all there is. And now
I'm going TO be a bigger cross-cur-
rent and contradiction than ever,
Tor I'm going to live half the time
with Mother and the other half
with Father. Mother will 60 to
Boston to live, and Father will stay
here-a divorce, you know"
She also tells why she is going to
