A gray-haired veteran was
busy washing clothes outside his
improvised home at Camp
Marks, AnacoStia. But they
were not the sort of clothes
you'd expect a man to be
washing. They were those
worn by children about seven
years old.
l.. E. King, 81. of Portland.
Ore, was the man. He told a
story of coming here with his
two small children when he
had found it impossible to get q
job. He served in the Spanish
American War and told white
lie" about his age to join the
A. E. F. in 1917. He washes
all the clothes, mends them,
and cares for the children as
would a mother. His wife died
three years ago.
He is the oldest veteran in
camp. He said:
MY children, Eugene, s, and
Richard, 6, have come here to
stay. 1t was the only thing to
do. I've earned only $40 in
eight months"
The most cheerful person at
the camp Is one who might
easily be the most dOwnhearted.
He is Lester NJ. Miller, of Read
ing, Pa. Both his legs are off
just below the knees. He is
probably the youngest veteran in
in camp, having enlisted when
he was Is.
And despite his injury. a
reporter for The Washington
Times had difficulty overtaking
him down the narrow streets
of the camp. Here's his story:

Division when 1 was a kid going

The Blonde Captive

A white woman the wife Of an
aborigine! Living without clothes, or
any creature comforts Of civilization
IN cave home! Squatting before a
fire roasting kangaroo and wallaby
among living descendants of the old
est living race in the world!
Her husbands pearling schooner
had been dashed on the reefs of this
wild coast in storm. She alone
survived. When the boat was pound
ed to pieces the waves threw her on
the beach. The aborigines found her
there, half dead. When several war
riors claimed her as the spirit of their
dead wives, there were bitter boone
rang duels, and the best man won
her!
An explorer and scientist offered
to take her back to Thursday Island
to her own people-to clothes, a
home, theaters, friends, laughter
What was her answer? What did
she decide? Had she found the
primitive moral code easier to cope
with than that of civilization? Did
she fear the struggle for existence in
the land of her birth? Perhaps, even,
she had learned to love her primitive
bushman!

Burrage, who co-operated with him
and John H. Curtis, confessed IA
ker Of negotiations for the return
OF the kidnapped Lindbergh baby.
The minister made his statement,
he said, because "of unjust and
mean insinuations" cast upon him
by police and certain newspapers.
The supposed terms were that

credit Of Mr.. Curtis, Admiral Bur-

to the supposed kidnapers until the
child was returned to Colonel Lind
bergh himself" the statement said.

substantially will confirm this-and
confirmation or refutation must
come from him and not from the
