ward Thompson, an ex-service man in Denver, Colo., is Just such a man. Due to a severe Injury to his head, received during the war, he has what is known as a "double brain.” One side of this brain directs the writing of one hand while the other side governs the other hand. Thompson's memory reaches back only to the time when he left a hospital some months ago. He remembers of his life before that time. It was through the veterans’ bureau that he established his Identity as Hayward Thompson. Os his family, former friends, his work and home before the war and his activities during the war, he has been able to lt*arn nothing. The veterans' bureau and the Colorado department of the American Legion have been making every effort to help Thompson lean> of his past. THE REAL UNKNOWN SOLDIER Child of Streets, Picked Up by Kindhearted Brothers, Never Knew Who He Was. Tragic though the story is of a soldier whose identity was lost after his life had gone out on the field of battle and whose cross in Flanders simply says, “Unknown Soldier,” his story is not shot through with such pathetic glory as is the story of a lad who never knew who he was and who gave his life for a’ country in which he had never known a mother's love or a father’s pride. Every mother who does not know Just where her son is buried, weeps over the grave of the unknown soldier, thinking that perhaps he is her son. Over the grave of the boy who has always been unknown there are no mourners. A tiny bundle of humanity was picked up in a Baltimore street some twenty years ago; It was a baby boy. When after a thorough search, no one was found who would claim him, he was taken to be reared by two brothers, who gave him the name of Edward John Evangelist Smith. When ho was old enough, they sent him to Mount Saint Mary’s school to be educated. In 1917, before the boy s education was finished, a Marine recruiting officer visited Mount Saint Mary’s. His story of the country's need for men caused “Smith,” as lie had come to be known, to enlist. He went overseas and took part in every engagement in which the Fifth regiment of marines participated. On the morning on, which the armistice was signed, one of the last German bullets flying claimed “Smithy” as its victim. Wells Hawkes, “Smithy's” captain, has started a fund to erect a monument to “Smithy” • a child of the street, an unknown lad in school, the real unknown soldier!

States naval officer wounded In action after the signing of the armistice which closed the World war. As a naval lieutenant and executive officer of a merchant ship, Rolf was severely wounded when his ship was fired on by a German submarine as it

left La Polis, Erance, on the afternoon of November 11, 1918. After several months in hospitals in England and on the continent, Rolf returned to America and resumed the practice of law in Toledo.
