the International Polish Exposition

| veteran, MANNED by a piece Of
shrapnel during the battle of Seiche-
prey in 1:1S, was in tears when the
delegation told him of his selection
as the trip will not only be vaca-
ton but also a return visit to his
native land. which he left in 1905 at
the age Of Is.
The selection fell to him on the
basis of his untiring efforts in buill
ing up the local nest before the war
and the great interest he took in
the affairs of the organization after
coming back to this city in 1921, a
broken down invalid.
Former President Of Nest
He joined the local nest in 1908
and served it as president and physi-
, cal director for a number of years.
When the World War broke out. he
awaited impatiently for the moment
when he could take up arms and go
to war. When the United States
were drawn into the conflict. rumors
began to spread that Polish legion
would be formed. 1t was long
time for him to wait until the action
got under way. and, with other
countrymen, he volunteered his
services in the American army.
As member of Company E, 1O2nd
Infantry. he spent some time In
training at Yale field and was later
transferred to Fort Slocum In New
York. In October. 1917, he left for
France and in February OF the fol-
lowing year saw active service for
the first time on the western front.

HABbESETT STILL
LISTED AS MISSING.
No Trace Of xan Who Dis
appeared Early In January

The mystery surrounding the sud-
den disappearance Of George W.
Habbersett of Baltimore, father of
William C. Habbersett of ~ Hamil-
ton street, still remains unsolved
despite frantic efforts on the part of
the Baltimore and Washington
police, private detectives and friends
of the family. II was learned today.
The elder Habbersett disappeared
q few days after leaving this city
on January 3. after an extended
visit at the home Of his son and
daughter-in-law. On January 7 he
left his home in Baltimore on
business trip to Washington-a Gus
tom he practiced for years. He
usually was back for the weekend
In Baltimore, but when he failed to
make his appearance at his home on
Friday, January II, his wife became
alarmed and reported him as miss
ing. The following day William left
this city to aid in the search for hs
father. but after many days of futile
eHOrts, gave up IN despair. having
found no trace either in Baltimore
or Washington and the surrounding
country.
This is the sixth week since his
disappearance and all efforts during
the time have failed to lead to any
clue that might help solve the deep
mystery surrounding the pushing
situation. Mr.. Habbersett was iden-
titled with the hardware business as
travelling salesman. He never car
ried any large sum of money, nor
had he any enemies. He was not
seen by anyone after leaving his
Baltimore home, nor had any of his
business acq uaintances in Washing
to seen him during the week he was
supposed to have spent in that city.

Accident to Green Fla s h
Spurred frenchmen On Way
With UNLOCKED for Pilot

Comillas, Santander, Spain, June
15.-LP)-Youthful Arthur Schreib-
er, stowaway of the Yellow Bird,
was perhaps the most lost individual
in all Spain when he stepped to the
beach at Oriambfe yesterday after
his stolen trip across the Atlantic.
He seemed perturbcd until he felt
the ground beneath his feet and
then his face became wrcathed in
smiles. The smiles faded and were
replaced by a look of blank as
tonishmcnt as he heard hundreds Of
voices about him clamoring in Span
ish, which he did not understand,
and the aviators answering in French
which he did not understand either.
Armeno Lotti, financial backer Of
the flight, and one of the three
others aboard, introduced him to the
crowd as, "our unlocked for pilot" /"
single French resident serving as
interpreter. NJ. Lotti was smiling
but Assolant, the pilot, took the mat
ter more seriously.
Accident Changed Minds
1--WE considered turning back dur
ing the few minutes we were circling
over Old Orchard after we found him
with US, but when we saw the acci-
dent to the Green Flash we thought
we would better keep on our way.
"Once we were in the air we stuck
him in q corner where he concealed
himself before the start and he
stayed there all night. We shared
our sandwiches and fruit with him of
course. We rot calculated gaso-
line to carry him, but here he is, the
little rascal"

Schreiber had done found hin. fully

and his lack Of Spanish proved no
deterrent to amicable relations with
them.

local hotel.
He apparently was laboring under
great emotion as the plane landed and
expressed complete JOY when he set
his foot on solid earth. He found no

who crowded around and seemed lost
at the fuss made over him in the
strange language. Assolant explained
