The writer of this letter declared that
he had been wounded and had lost his
memory, enlisting in Foreign Legion un-
der the name of Frank De Bruyckeres,
and added that he had written to his
mother as son as re he'd regained his

Mrs. Fritciiard was si,aptical at first,
bit more letters arrived, furnishing aa-
tails that finally convinced her. It was
recalled that the body buried IN Nlnoen-
mes bore no identification tag. So the War
Department is Investigating for Mrs.
Pritchard, and hopes with the aid of
French authorities to clear the matter
up.
A good deal of suffering lies back OF
this story If the letter writer proves IN
fact to be Pritchard, his mother has been
unnecessarily bereaved for more than
decade. If not, she will have had the pam
of losing her son twice.

Eostov-on-Don L, s. s. R.. Dec. tP'-Lack of American engineers and tcchnicians to point the way to ward deficient production at the worlds largest farm machinery fac tory outside the United States, only recently completed here has be- come problem 10 the soNia gov- ernment.
 This plant. costing about sGSooo - o0o, is one of the three huge links in the chain which is supposed to supply the collectiNist farms Of the union with the means of achieving grain production on a wholesale basis. The size of the factory may be estimated by the fact that it occupies 800 acres.
 The manufacturing machinery almost all American- -made-pur- chased at a cost of several more millions. is rapidly being installed so that the next imme ediate job is "to start the wheels going"
 On recent visit to the big fac tory, the Associated Press correspon- dent was told by one Of the man agers. Russian engineer who was trained abroad:
 some tune ago we made appli- cation to leading manufacturers in the United States, from whom we had purchased large quantities Of machinery. for the loan of 4n en- sineers and technical men to aid us in getting our factory started, But we had little or no response. Why they will not supply us with these men I do not understand,
 But VIC intended to start produc- tion in this plant, even if we get no foreign help. We intend to put it over as you Americans say. I might state that this factory was constructed without any foreign as- sistance whatever.
 ''Whether we can run it as well is another question The average Russian has no experience in this sort of work. It is going 10 be tough but We will beat America yet, and you can bet all your money on it.'

But the boy and the tribe are reticent about things, and nobody has learned anything from them so far. ,
 'IiGuOr Fails to Loosen Tongue
 Another time an Eskimo named Saumck was brought down to hos pital on the Hudson Bay railway for treatment for frozen legs. t was thought that he might know something about it. so. after long search. an Eskimo was found who could speak Saumeks $ dialect, and he began to question him. But Sau- mel; refused to talk about it, men tioning Tornrark mysteriously and refusing 10 answer any questions.
 It occurred 10 the authorities that Saumek might talk if he got intoxicated So his lsllima ques- tioncr was given quart of whiskey and told to ply Saumek with it. This too, failed: Saumck refused to touch drop. Like most Eskimos he did not like the taste of it. So any knowledge that Saumek might have remained q secret.
 The police are doing their best 10 unravel the mystery. They may succeed: on the other hand, the arctic is full Of mysteries The northern lights have seen queer sishts: but the northern lights keep their secrets.

Moller won a thrilling extra-hole
match in the semi-fnal round Fri

The Irisf- star outdrove the Har-

recovered on the greens. They
ended the thirty-six holes of play
all even after Finlay had dropped
twenty-toot putt on the final
green.
On the extra hole, both were on
the green a yard from the cup, in
8. Moller putting nervously, sank
his ball. Finlay, apparently self
assured and confident, putted
straight for the hole, but the ball
trimmed the cup and rolled away.

first two holes in IS, three-putting
on the second green. Mrs. Patten
went one up on the third when Miss
Dunn took an 8. The match was
squared again when Miss Dunn

They halved the fifth when both
three-putted, and the defending

trapped. Miss Dunn went three up
on the eighth with birdie and four
up on the ninth when Mrs. Patten
picked up out of ditch.
The challenger came back to take
the tenth, but Miss Dunn pared

by Miss Dunn, who played safely
for a half, ending the match, 5 up
and 4 to play.
