The first news of the disaster that had 'befallen hor son was received In a telegram from the war department this morning. The telegram stated that ho had been missing ever since a battle with tho Germans, in which his command took part June 17, and that tho department would at once notify her as soon as any definite news concerning him was obtained. Tho telegram was sent to Medford yesterday but without her street number, and tho telegraph company was unable to locate her last night. Today s Associated Press dispatch also tells of Blackden being among tho missing. KullstcM at Ijos Angvles Karl Blackden enlisted at Ixs An geles a year ago last April, 10 days after war was declared against Ger many. Ho was a member of tho 20th company. Fifth regiment, 3rd battul lon of tho marine corps. Tho last loiter Mrs. Blackden had from him was his Mother's Day letter of May 12th. He was then In high spirits and had his mother not to worry about him. Karl Blackden had never lived in Medford.

Mr. linker said he could not any with certainty whether the government could completely suppress improper communications, but it certainly could suppress such communication better than under present laws. At the same time, he said, there is no supervision or cuntroL of domestic messages by telegraph so f;ir as be knows.

Julv '.That the sink ing of hospital ships is a deliherato policy on the -art of the Germans now is placed beyond all doubt by the torpedoing of the P.rilish hospital ship Lhuidovey Castle, the newspa pers say in the editorial comment to day. "In the presence of such unspeak able infamy deliberately repeated," says the Dailv Chronicle, "it is a waste of breath to reiterate the ab horrence which everybody with a siuirk of civilized sense must feel. But we would invite the German peo ple to ask themselves what is the use of tlieir statesmen appealing, like Foreign Secretary Yon Kuchlmann, to be credited 'with honoi'' while crimes so odious, .dishonorable and uniissnmcd continue to be ouried out by the orders of their government. "" The excuse for the attack on the Llandovery Castle, says the Dailv Mail, is a lie, and the German officer who told it did not believe it himself, when he said to the captain: "Yon are carrying eight American flight officers."
