It
If
Omaha Boy, with Pershing's
Men in France Not Heard
from After Big
Battle.
That their son, Priv. Frederick
McConnell, was missing in action aft
er the fighting between July 15 and
July 19, is the burden of a message
that has come to Mr. and Mrs. Fred
erick R. McConnell, 1014 Park avenue,
from Adjutant General McCain.
Young McConnell is a member of
the 109th infantry, 28th division. He
sailed from Camp Upton on May 1

early in June. His latest letter to his
parents was written on July 4 and
said that he had just completed a
12-mile march to the front and that
he was looking forward with anticipa
tion to service in the trenches.
,. Think Him a Prisoner.
"Both my wife and myself feel con
fident that Frederick has been cap
tured," said Mr. McConnell, "for he
is a self-reliant and independent boy,
always able to take care of himself.
That he was doing his duty and was
in the thick of the fighting we have
felt right along, especially since Gen-
era: iviarcn nas saiu inrt tne loin di
vision has been on the battle front
from the beginning of the fighting.
Fred McConnell has been doing dis
patch work on motorcycle, horse
back and anything necessary to attain
his objective.
He is a graduate of Omaha1 High
school, of nie law school of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, and in May, 1917,
received his A. B. from Carnegie In
stitute of Technology, Pittsburgh. He
is a member of the Phi Kappa Psi
fraternity. He was one of the field
