WRONG HERO'S
BODY SENT
MOTHER
Mistake Announced by War
Department Two Years
After His Burial.

| =
BINGHAMTON, N. Y, July i5.--
Why did United States Government
officials switch bodies of war heroes
and send the wrong one home to
Mrs. Elizabeth Flynn as that OF her
own son; and then why did they,
after two years, break her heart by
telling her of the deception, and
letting her know that the prayers
she has said at soldiers grave, the
tears she has wept over it, the
wealth of love she has given it,
have all been for some other
mothers boy. total stranger to her?
These are the questions to be
pressed by Mrs. Flynn and her
family as a result of information
received from the office of the
quartermaster general Of the War
Department.
The information IL to the effect
that the body sent here in, 1921 as
that of Francis Joseph Flynn, hero
of Belleau Wood, is that Of another
person and that the right body will
be shipped now and the substitute
disinterred from the grave so
greatly loved by Flynn's devoted
mother and taken by the War De-
partment.
Explained In Letter.
Definite information as to how
the tragic mistake originally was
made and as to why, after the years
passed, the secret was not kept, now
is sought.

ing the astounding news to her, is
as follows:
Dear Madam:

Fifth Marines, were reported buried,
it has been found that an error was
made in the shipment Of the re.
mains Of your son.
"The records indicate that the
body originally shipped to you was
exhumed from Grave 10, Section T.
Plot 3, from under the marker Of
your son. However, when the BODY
in Grave 1913, Section 8, Plot 8, was
disinterred from under soldier, your
sons Identification tag and chevronS

facts was made, and it was found
that both bodies were originally
buried side by side in Graves 115 ana

time Of reburial were transposed.

for a mandamus in the District of
Columbia courts to compel the Ship
ping Board to carry out its contract.
Those useless" wooden ships that
Lasker had intended to "sink if l
cannot give them away or sell them,'
had become worth all these queer an
tics and weird contractual contor-
tions, on the part of Lasker, Schles-
niger, Freund, Farley and the board,
as well as a court action.
Schlesinger entered a general de-
NAL of every fact in the transaction,
ard set up the contention that Com
missioner Plummer and E. P. Farley
had not acted with the authority OF
the board in their negotiations with
the New York company, that no bid
had ever been made, that the ships
had not been appraised, that the
board had no authority to sell them
under the law, that they were not the
property of the Shipping Board or
the Emergency Fleet Corporation,
but of the government and that the
government could not thus be made
to carry out the contract-and be-
sides there wasn't any contract.
The suit fingered along, went to

York company would be declared
off.
That contract, Orth swears, was
handed the representative of the
New York company late on SATURDAY
afternoon, August 20, in Washington,
D. c., and he had to get to New
York, allow Sunday to intervene, go
over the contract with counsel for
the company, have it signed Oh Mon
day, be back in Washington by 10
o'clock Tuesday morning-August
%. Lasker was proving himself to
be a very canny-if not a prudent"
business man.
This contract, Orth further swears
required payment on a part of sixty
vessels which had been exempted by
the board from the contract, and the
bond was made to v an amount
which would have been payable if the
whole number of ships had been in
cluded in the contract. Meanwhile,
it is alleged by Ortiz, the board had
discovered the ships were not as
represented in it's advertisements and
was conducting a hurried inventory
of the equipment while this sparring
was going on.
Upon threat of a suit, Mr.. Lasker

cry of the signed contract from Au-

finally to September 20.

EARTHQUAKES TO BE

records, and while they can not be
used directly in predicting earth
quakes, a study Of the entire sci

EDITORS NOTE-In his forward, the editor of the Dear
born Independent says: What are we going to do about our
merchant marine? The infamous subsidy measure was killed
and its revival must not be permitted. But influences just as
sinister as those which have gone before are at work today to
turn over the American fleet to interests whose motives are
purely selfish. This, too, must not be permitted. The Dear
born Independent, from time to time, in issues soon to appear,
will disclose, for the benefit of the people and the peoples rep
reSentatives in congress, facts which speak for themselves. 1t
is to be hoped that these facts will be sufficiently awakening
for congress to institute an inquiry designed to search out and
make known ALL the truth about the operations of the United
States Shipping Board"
If just one hIf of the amazing charges are true-and there
is no reason to believe that they are not ALL true-the people
should rise up in righteous Indignation and demand of their rep
resentatives in congress, both senators and members of the lower
house, that a thorough investigation of this matter be made; the
blame, if any, placed where it rightfuny belongs; the guilty ones
punished through due process of law, and measures taken to
prevent a recurrence of such nationally disgraceful tactics in
this, a supposedly Christian, if not an entirely Gentle, nation.

Take a Tablespoonful of Salts if Back Pains OF
Bladder is Irritated

Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart of water each day, also take salts
occasionally, says a noted authority,
who tells us that too much rich food
forms acids which almost paralyze the
kidneys in their efforts to expel it from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken; then you may suffer with a dull
misery III the kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the channels
eften get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
TO help neutralize these irritating

acids; to help cleanse the kidneys and
flush off the body's urinous waste, get
four ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here. Take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days, and your kidneys may then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for years to help flush and stimulate
sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize the
acids in the system so they no longer
irritate, thus often relieving bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in

at least twice a year.
