A war nurse about fifty years of age, with her. mind
, blank. walked up to Patrolman Michael Keenan at the

sited the officer if he would help her.

under the supervision of English
doctors. Then—we went to the hat-

She was crying now and could not
go on.
After a few minutes rest she con-
tinued. "I went directly to the front
lines with the American boys. 1
hate to think or it. I saw some
frightful sights."
\Vhen asked what she did and
where she was in France. she re-
plied
“I helped to patch up the boys
for the base hospitals. We admin-
istercd first aid, under fire. before
they were sent to the hospitals at
the rear of the lines. I was on the

At this point she broke down cry-
ing. She said she wished that she
was home. She sohbcd:
“I wish I could tell you who I am
or where I live.“

Dr. Frank McMahon. who had
been summoned, walked in. The
woman was told that a doctor
wanted to talk with her. She aroee.
said. “Doctor," and fell in a. faint.
She “‘as soon revived, however.
Dr. McMahon then questioned the
woman about her days in training
and about various hospitals in the
country. mentioning the names of
numerous physicians. The woman
could not recall any of them.
"I remember." she said of her own
volition, “that. I was sitting on a
stone-wall. somewhere. sometime to-
day. I think I was crying and a
man came up to me. He asked me
it there was anything that he could
do for me. I said. 'Yes. I don't re-
member my name and I don't know
where I am. I want to get home.’
He took my grip and said that. he
would find a policeman. My purse
and means of identifying me were in
the bag. He did not come back. I
remember that I walked a whole
lot today. I think that I was on a
train too."
The police. in the meanwhile.
searched the women's dressing room
in the Town Hall per chance that
the woman had left her grip there.
They were also told to keep a look-
out for anyone with a bag. She had
no bag when she approached Patrol-
man Keenan at the corner of Main
and Bank streets. It was not found
lai‘er. ,
Detective-Sergeant
who had seen service along the
above-mentioned battle-fronts in
France. also talked with the wom-
on. She appeared pleased when told
that l)eicctive~Sergeant Hayes was a

bout at the State street Arena last
night before a crowd of 6.000 fans,
the second largest ever to watch a

Last night's crowd was only surpas~
sed by the attendance at. the Britten-

The fight was the greatest boxing
exhibition ever held here. being fea-
tured by the speed and dancing tac-
tics ot the St. Paul battlcr and the
ability of the Bridgeport boy to ub-
sorb as well as give punishment. The
first round of the 'contest was even
