British casualties exceeded those of

twenty thousand six hundred and
seventy-nine officers and men were
killed, wounded or missing.

that his son, Charles, whose mysteri
ous disappearance Wednesday morn

left this morning for that city to make
an Investigation and ascertain
reason for the boy's disappearance.
I Tie message was signed by a man
named Parks who is a cousin of Mr.
Pillar's divorced wife. However, he
was a stranger to both the boy and
his father and the latter cannot ac
count for Parks action in coming aft
er the boy so secretly, for he assumes
the stranger who inquired for the boy
was the cousin of his wife.
"Charles with us and wishes to visit
until Sunday," he message read. Ear
lier in the day Mr. Pillar received a
telegram from his former wife from
Santa Rosa, California, saying that
she knew nothing of the whereabouts
of the boy. The officers are rather
inclined to believe that the mother is
responsible or the boy's disappearance
and are wondering whether the boy
