THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING DECEMBER 29, 1918 GERMANS EAGER TO LEARN FATE OF RELATIVES IN II. S. Journal-News' Correspondent Is " Flooded With Inquiries Con- . cerning Members of Families. NORTHWEST MEN ARE NAMED No Word in or Out of Germany v Since America Entered War and .People Mad for News. By Juntas B. Wood Soacial Cab la to .Tti Journal and Cbleaga Pslljr New,. (CopyHfht. 1918, by Chicago Dally Nwi Co.) " With the American Army of Occupa tion, Dec. 28.Thouands of persons In America and Ooi-many have been awaiting- vainly letiers and messages from . their' relatives In either country sine the war began. Before America en tered the conflict an occasional letter came but In recent months even these - have stopped. The war has drawn a curtain of se crecy between the lands which were once connected by cable, wireless and mall boat. On either side of the curtain are countless family tragedies, lighter events, loved ones departed and other vicissitudes all those little events which are unnoticed, by the great world at tare hut are of vast tmoortance to each little circle of blood relationship. JTpae Could Tell of Changes Those whose fortunes were strained In the dark days in Germany were un able to tell their relatives In America of" their .situation and they themselves were unable to learn whether their Amorlrnn cousins -were part of the great force that came overseas, whether they were Interned or whether they were peacefully continuing their occupations at home as before the war. Yesterday the editor of the Coblenser Volkszeitung among his local Items on the second page printed a paragraph saying that a correspondent of the Chi cago Dally News was staying at the Jlelsenfurstenhof hotel and added the names of .15 cities In the United States i and Canada where the leading newspa pers were taking the Dally News cable service. . , Callera Ak "Word Be Seat Ever since then I have had a steady Stream of callers asking for an oppor tunlty to send a mere message to Amer ica that they are alive and to request their loved ones there to write. These callers came from all the surrounding countryside, some from places EO kil ometers (30 miles) way. - They were of all classes. Some were prosperous mer chants,' some Inquiring after brothers, while- others Were wealthy women, ac companied by footmen, soldiers wounded . In the German army, and mothers whose hands were gnarled - in toll and their faces lined and. drawn from the hard ships they had suffered.; Two small aged women whose faces were prepetually wrinkled with good nature and both wearing shawls -of big black and white plaids or black knit wool and bonnets like little wicker ' baskets had walked ten kilometers (six miles) to get word to their brothers whom they had not seen since they left the- Rhlneland as boys and had not be&rft from since Germanv went to ''.war. . .' ' . k? . JTames Taken Dow More than one broke down and cried, explaining that this or that relative had . cone since the, war's curtain had been ' drawn and many asked as to the loca tion of relatives who they believed were fighting with the American army. A surprising number bad relatives who ' were members of religious orders .or clergymen In America. The names and all the data which the limited cable facilities permit me to . send were taken down. Many with two J or ' three relatives in America wanted Information sent. The fact that only the name- of a single Germa'h inquirer In artvnn rinea not Inrllmta that nnlv nn la interested. In, soma cases entire families came to my room asking for Information about their uncles and cous ins in America. In other cases where : the distances were' too great for them to ; travel they sent telegrams.

They' couldn't go ahead but they refused to go back. I have a respect for the British race which I never bad before and which nothing can destroy since I have seen the No Man's Land of the Ypres salient. 'From Roulers we moved by gradual stages to the Lys which we crossed on the night of October 30 and took up our attack positions preparatory to contin uing tp push the Boche eastward out of Belgium. On the morning of the thirty first, at 5 :30 we jumped off after a sur prise artillery -preparation of five min utes and chased Heinle out of Wareghen. That was a tough old; scrap that day. The roads of Belgium are lined thickly with stone houses and we fought from house toouse: Fritz had a cute trick of taking his machine gun dowji into the cellar of the, house as we approached. Thinking he was dead or had retreated we went out; out he would pop again and shoot us in the back. Those fellows will never shoot again. In two days we had taken the Audenarde and chased them across the Scheldt. We consoli dated on the west bank-and, from, the commanding heights on the east 'side he tried to shoot -us out. We stuck though. '.'It was there that I was wounded. I was shaving on the morning of Novem ber 2 when they suddenly dropped about 50 shells on my dugout. I ran out to see if any of the men in the shell holes had been hit and walked right into a shell myself. They took me back to the hospital at Staden and had me on a hos pital train ready to start for -Dunkirk and England, but I deserted and walked back the 25 miles to my outfit.
