 "llfully desert and I do not think ne was in responsible condition
 mentally" said Mrs. Augusta Nor oau' mother of Paul Moreau. who according to the Associated Press

 Mrs- Moreau has had no official notification of the fact that her son was in the Ohio city with Oliver C. Bliss, also of the marine corps
 both of whom were found at an lnter-urban station of WaterviIle sufterlng from shell shock.
 Ihelr memories gone the young men who claimed to have been in swimming when lightning struck the Flcauny army arsenal wandered almlesly ever since until instinct guided the footsteps Of the younger ooi Bllss, who is but Is years old, to his home town in Ohio. Here thev were found by the father of Bliss and a cousin.
 Both young men yesterday were pllndly groping through a mental fog trying to piece together events ana occurrences since the accident which set them wandering. Neither boy seemed able to give any lucid explanation of his journey. Hello. oi1ver," was the greeting of Verne Bliss, Divers father. Get away, my name ain't Oliver" was the re- ply.

 Unlike man. youths who enter the service from homes which are not too pleasant, Paul was reared | in New Britain in one of the best | of homes. The young mans father died 16 years ago leaving a widow 1 and four year old son. Since that 1 time Mrs. Moreau and her son have made their home with the formers in-law Dr. E. T.
