Tragedy of the “Missing.”
49.30
What, after all. had become of him?
49.30 If dead, why was his body never
49.30 found? The vision of him lying in
49.30 some shell hole, unseen, unguarded
49.30 against the spoliation of earth and
49.30 time, or cast up suddenly and sacri
49.30 legiously by some laborer’s spade—
49.30
15.80 that vision Is not one to allay parental
88.67 anguish. On the contrary, dead though
66.00 that body be, so long as It has not
53.25 been laid to rest it seems to have
53.25 voice, a voice which cries out to loved
49.30 ones at home.
49.30
And here it must be remembered
15.80 that “reported missing” does not nec
89.57 essarily mean that the soldier baa been
89.57 killed. It yields room for hope, but
49.30 h<q>e mingled with grave concern. He
49.30 may have survived, although badly
49.30 hurt, and that conjecture suggests ths
89.57 possibility of his lying help'eea In some
hospital or wandering around Europe
49.30 bereft of strength and reason. Again,
49.30
49.30 he may have been neither killed nor
49.30 hurt, which opens up a new field for
49.30 speculation and the fear of something
49.30 worse than death—desertion.
What is being dune to lift the veil of
49.30 mystery which enshrouds the missing?
49.30 Are they to remain officially forgot
49.30 ten? On the contrary, although it re
66.85 quires time, skill and unremitting ef
49.30 fort, the work of tracing the names, of
49.30 recovering the bodies, of repleclng in
53.25 some cases members that had been
53.25 scattered by shell bursts, of establish
49.30 ing the Identity of the whole and of
49.30 burying It finally alongside of the com
15.80 rades with whom the "missing" one
49.30 had fought and died—all that Is being
49.30
49.30 done quietly and diligently by the
49.30 American Oraves Registration service

T IS one of the ironies of a sol
dier's fate that he may be lion
ized in a moment of need, only to
be utterly forgotten after the
smoke of battle has cleared. Through
out the world the trugedy of the sol
dier ignored and neglected after he
has given the best of bis youth and
vitality to his country is a spectacle
which distresses the eye of even the
most casual observer. ex-MaJor Namm
of the Fifth division, A. E. F., writes,
in the New York Herald-Tribune. And
If It be so with the living, what must
It be with the dead?
But the corollary does not neces
sarily follow. So far as America is
concerned, the dead are being cared
for. No one can visit the great ceme
teries of the battle areas without ru-
allzing the sanctity that is being pre
served ubout the graves of the fallen,
without sensing the beauty of the trib
ute that Is being paid by tender hands
dedicated to that sole purpose. Row
upon row they He the’e, like men In
a profound sleep, content with their
martyrdom, yearning for no awaken
ing.
only one thought comes to disturb
the peaceful picture. Unfortunately,
not all of the dead are there. Some
of the fallen have not hed the grace
of a decent burial. Of the seventy
odd thousand American soldiers who
died overseas more than two thousand
never have been located, and still are
being carried on the records of the
War department as “reported miss
ing." And of all the phrases that
were flung into circulation by the war
none hHS been a more poignant source
of pain, of hope, of doubt than thoee
two words which announced the fate
of a boy to be unknown. To thousands
of American mothers and fathers that
phrase "reported missing" has repeat
ed Itself almost dsliy for the last
seven years, provoking all manner of
speculation, yet forbidding any defi
nite conclusion.

The production superintendent of one of the largest Portland bakeries
recently visited at a Vernonia home and as was proper Mother’» Bread was
a part of the repast of which he partook.
This gentleman pronounced Mother’» Bread to be the finest bread that
he had ever eaten from a country bakery.
We do not even know the gentleman in question and this compliment
came to us unsolicited, so we feel that it is sincere and that it came from one
who knows good bread.
A trial will convince you too that Mother’» Bread is all that we claim for
it—you can get none better and it is your most economically priced food.
Start using Mother’s Bread today—ask for it by name and be sure you
get it.
As a mark of respect for our Soldier dead, our store will remain closed
all day on Decoration Day, Saturday, May 30th.

BREWER & VISNAW, Prop*.
On 2nd St., half-block South of Bridge St.
in France. Each month brings the re
covery of more bodies; each week
brings a reduction, even though slight.
In the number of missing, and with the
continuance of thia work under direc
tion as intelligent and conscientious as
It has had in the past the time may

will have been accounted for and the

Many “Unknown."
The Important work of searching
and accounting for the missing was
begun by the fields units section of
the Graves Registration service imme
diately after the close of the war. The
task proved to be extremely difficult.
Records of burial made under battle
conditions were not complete, for
bodies had been hastily Interred under
firs and the terrain had been subject
to many transformations. The first
search of the battle zone in the fall of
1918 and In the spring of 1919, there
fore, met with but little success.
It was not until November, 1923.
that the Graves Registration service
became free to resume an organised
and systematic effort to search the
records for the missing, to recover un
located bodies. At that time an officer
who had «sen four years of service in
the field wm detailed to the Paris of
fice and placed in charge of the rec
ords. investigation and research de
partment. He was especially equipped
for the task in that he had served in
the infantry and was thoroughly fa
miliar with battle terrain, and also be
cause he had a knowledge of anatomy
which was exceedingly useful In the
work of establishing Identity between
dismembered parts, where a shell, as
often happened, had played particular
havoc with the victim.
Good Work Oelng On.
That officer organised a series of
units which are now serving in all the
battle zones where Americans fought
and under his direction the work has
progressed steadily and successfully.
Unfortunately for the service, under
the operation of the “Manchu law"
which requires every officer to serve
one year out of five with troops, the
man who until recently was in charge
of the task has been compelled to re
turn to America. The work, however,
will he carried on by his succeesor.
From January 1 te July 1 of 1924
the units engaged In the search recov
ered and established the Identity of
120 bodies, or at the rate of 5 a week.
They also recovered 29 bodiee on
which identification could not be es
tablished owing to mutilation and cor-
rasion that had taken place with the
passing of time.
Thsso results can only be regarded
as remartrahli and foster the belief
that the time la not fhr distant when
the search for missing heroes of the
World war will be crowned with com
plete success.
Several members of the K. P.
lodge, from Harding lodge, went to
St. Helens Tuesday night and took
along a couple Vemoniteo, who were

clam family will exhibit and if they
do not show up at the given time,
you get rain checks.
“Brick,” the red-headed boy who
acted as guide for the expedition ex
plained that the proper method was
to grasp your shovel firmly and
stroll along the beach keeping a
close watch on the sand in front of
you and “when she bubbles, dig Uke
hell.”
It was also explained to us
that the clams only show up at
minus tide. I will confess that this
had me buffaloed. I learned in school
that the tides were something that
the moon had something to do with.
I was soon enlightened, however,
and wish to inform the eager pubtie
that the tides are the things that
wash things ashore and a minus tide
is a tide that is not only not a tide
but it lacks considerable, and bears
the same relationship to a tide that
less than nothing does to anything
at all. With this simple explanation
I think we can proceed with the story

(By A. Clamshooter)
The encyclopedia says that clams
are mussels, having bivalve shells,
held closed by muscqjs. and opened
by a springy ligament on the back
of the shell, that the clam creeps
through the mud and sand by means
of a fleshy foot. Furthermore, that it
draws in water by means of a fleshy
tube and strains this water through
plate like gills, discharging water
and non-assimilateable substances by
means of a second tube.
For the
past ten years I have been advised
by superior persons that “clamming”
is the sport of kings and I have been
made to feel ignorant and inferior
because of the fact that I had never
seen a clam. Recently coming to a
conclusion that this deficiency in
my early training should be at once
remedied, I planned a campaign
against this ferocious animal.
The
preparations of Theodore Roosevelt
for combating the lion, were care
fully studied an<] after assembling
the necessary weapons, offering
the Smithsonion Institute any rare
species discovered and granting the
newspaper reporters a farewell in
terview I hopped off for the hither
to impenetrable wilds of Cannon
Beach. Oregon. On arriving I found
that the natives were prepared for
the arrival of the expedition and
our party was met with offers of
summer cottages, hamburgers, hot
dogs and near beer, which the
natives were willing to exchange for
the small bright disc like piece of
metal and vari-colored strips of
paper which we carried along, we
having been previously advised that
these articles would always assure us
a welcome.
Immediately on our arrival, I was
in favor of plunging into the clam
territory and engaging the enemy,
but the native guide advised us that
the clams would not make their ap
pearance before 7:30 a. m., and it
would be useless to go out in the
afternoon. Though v.-ry much dis
appointed at not being permitted to
take any club out and knock over a
few delicacies for dinner I was com
pelled to bide my time.
Early the
next morning, however, we were on
hand in ample time for the perfor
mance. When the guide arrived he
had a couple of the kind of spades
that you dig post holes with. I threw
my baseball bat away and accepted
a shovel. It seems that Mr. Clam has
a regular schedule for his ap)xar-
ances and he is as tempermental as
an opera singer.
There are little heels.
