THE REAL, UNKNOWN SOLDIER
Child Of Streets; Picked Up by Kind
u, hearted Brothers, Never Knew
"a :. s. Who He Was.

Tragic though the story ts Of a sol.
der whose identity was lost after his
life had gone out on the field Of battle
and whose cross In Flanders simply
says, Unknown Soldier" his story is
not shot through with such pathetic
glory as is the story Of a lad who
never knew; who he was and who gave
his life for, a, country in which he had
never known a mothers. love or 4
fathers pride. Every mother who
does not know Just where her son is
buried. weeps over the grave of the
unknown soldier, thinking that per-
haps he is her son. Over the grave of
the boy who has always been un.
known there are no mourners.
A tiny bundle of humanity was
picked up in Baltimore street some
twenty years ago; It was baby boy.
When after a thorough search, no one
was found who would claim him. he
was takfn to be- reared by two BROTH
ers, WHO gave him the name of Ed
ward YJohn Evangelist Smith. When
he fas old enough, they sent him
to- Mount Saint Mary's school to be
sNcated. IN 1917, before the boys!
education was sdnlshel, a Marine re-
cr.iiting officer visited Mount Saint
Mary's! His story Of the country's
need for men caused rSmith," as he
had come to be known, to enlist. He
went overseas and took part in every
enga cement in which the Fifth regi-,
ment Of marines participated. On the
morning on which the ;armistice was
signed, one Of the last German bullets
dying claimed "Smithyr as its victim.
Wells Hawkes., "Smithy's" captain,
has started a fund to- erect monu-
ment to "Slnithy"; a child Of the
street. an unknown lad in school, the
real unknown soldier!

Due to q severe. injury to his head,

Is known as a double brain" One

Thompson's memory reaches back
only TO the time when he left hos.

bers nothing of his life before that
time. 1t was, through the veterans
bureau that he established his iden-

to learn nothing. The veterans bu-

BOTH CAST, AUDIENCE
 ENJOY CENTRAL PLAY

Many comedies have gone over the boards in such telling fashion that the aaudience left in paroxysm of mirth yet it remained for the dramatic club of Central College to stage one which apparently proved as delight ful for the cast as for the audience. Beyond doubt, the audience keenly relished "The Private Secretary" as presented by the Central girls in the auditorium last night, an enjoyment also shared by the cast, some mem bers of which had difficulty in re pressing mirth at the comedy sit nations developed by their acting, It was rattling good comedy, and the players took advantage of every new turn to make it all the more tell ing.
 From the nature of things, the most difficult roles were those of mascu- line characters, portrayed by Miss Mary Glenn Phillips, the director, Bernard Johnson, Gussie Simpson. and Vida Adams. Miss Phillips as the "old sport" affected with liver complaint, and Miss Johnson as the decidedly eccentric minister put up high class impersonations, as did also Miss Simpson, Miss Adams and Miss Mabry, the last named enacting a drunken scene with much realism As for the other characters, Fannie Rhodes and Mildred Hope reinforced thnir oood annaaranea with clever acting. Esther Ford and Bessie Wat son had more or less difficult roles. which they interpreted creditably.
