Lieut. Walter E. Drew
Met Death In France
Lieut. Walter E. Drew. K Com-
pany 151st Infantry 36th Division
has been killed in action according
to letters received this morning by
his parents Mr. and Mrs. Byron
Drew 403 F Street southwest from
Lieut. William McCann. A Com-
pany. 111th Field Signal Battalion
and Corp. Ewing London of the
same company. The letters were
written at the front and bear th..'
date of October 21. Mr. and Mrs.
Drew have not received the news
officially from the War Depait-
iiient. Lieutenant McCann's Letter.
Lieutenant McCann's letter tell-
ing of how Jie received his informa-
tion follows: "I want to join Mr.
London in extending ray heartfelt
sympathy in this your sadness in the
loss of your son Waller who gave
his life on ihe field of honor lie
gave bis life the supreme sacrifice
unflichingly. as his bit toward the
end that Democracy shall and will
rule. The news of his death came as
a blow to me. 1 knew that he was
at the front but was unable to hear
anything concerning him until yes-
terday when I met Gordon Gano
and lie told me the sad news. I
joined the colors with Walter and
Gordon at Ardmore and though I
was shortly afterwards transferred
to the Signal Corps never iost track
of a few of the boys who were my
special friends. Several oOus had

RUMOR MONGERS
STIR UP ANXIETY
WITH WILD TALES
In view of the recent remark-
able proof of the reliability of the
Ardmoreite's news service com-
ing as it docs over a leased Asso-
ciated Press wire directly into the
Ardmoreite office it is difficult
to deal patiently with those who
have been persistently spreading
rumors of unusual casualties in
the 36th division which includes
Oklahoma units.
The Ardmoreite established a
remarkable example of news serv-
ice when it persistently denied
last week the false rumors of the
signing of the armistice. The
fact that the Ardmoreite did not
fool the people with wild stories
that were current throughout the
country but waited until the
armistice was really signed and
then "beat" all Oklahoma in giv-
ing real news to the public estab-
lishes that the Ardmoreite not
only prints "news while it is
news" but is first certain that
the news is true.
Rumor-mongers perhaps do not
realize the anxiety and suffering
they cause by the circulation of
reports which if they would
only sanely consider they would
realize have no foundation in
fact.
If "terrific" losses were sus-
tained by the 36th Division it is
certain that the Associated Press
would be the first to make an an-
nouncement of the fact.
This morning many letters
were received by relatives and
friends of men in the 111th regi-
ment of engineers and only in one
instance was there reference to
the death of an Ardmore boy.
Rumors of unusual casualties
in the 36th Division are the Ard-
moreite feels confident untrue.
vvi-h to pay this way. or for longer
periods in advance. This may be
done through postoifices. The min-
imum amount of insurance to be is-
sued probably will be $1.(11 10 and the
maiuiii':i .$10000 wi.b any amo'int
between tlu'se sums in multiples of
! $500. There
payments in
will be provision for
case of disability as
well as death according to the tenta-
tive plan. The insurance rnav be pur
chased by any soldier sailor or ma-
rine officer or cnli.sted and by
women members of the army or navy
nurse corps provided they already
hold government vohmtary life in-
surance. About 95 per cent of the 4.-
250.000 men in the service are cov-
a half dozen of the world's biggest
private companies combined. Out of
the experience gained may eventual-
ly develop expansion of government
surance to old age industrial and
other forms of insurance in the
opinion of officials who have studied
the subject.
am glad to say that all the Ardmore
boys made good and Walter was one
of those. I lis grave is located a few
kilos from here and 1 will at my
first opportunity go to it and per-
sonally see that it is well taken care
of and marked and should you at
any time desire me to do anything
for you will gladly do all in my
power."
Corporal London's letter follows:
"My heart was made heavier today
by iearning of Walter's sacrifice and
I want to extend to you my heart-
felt sympathy. The past two weeks
have brought us all nearer to one
another made v."- anxious to lend
our every effort to end this terrible
tragedy and every man thinks of
his friend rather than himself and it
was Walter's unselfish interest in
his nun that caused him to go. rath-
er than send for while I was not in
the company with him I have been
told that be was a favorite with all
his men. Am sure be went as he
wanted to go and 1 know that he
was prepared to go for no man ca.i
be here and not have a close relation
with God : it is shown in a man's
every action. It is going to be a
promise to you to go to his grave
and give the personal touch for he
was a friend of mine and 1 want
to leave a personal attention to him.
Walter has paid ad he has not paid
in vain for his going only makes the
determination of every man her?
