SAW OWN TOMBSTONE Soldier From Maine. Saw Name of Grave at Cambrai .Banger, Maine. May 1">.?Wilford G. Oakes, cf Patten, who returned home after a remarkable record of service in a Canadian ar.tilicry reg iment, had the experience, near Carubral, of viewing his own grave, with hrs name inscribed on a rude slab over the last resting place. He took a snapshot ef the grave as a souvenir. Oakes war. severely wounded seve ral times. In one battle when he was wounded he lost his identifica tion card. His jaws were shot away, making it impossible for him tc communicate his identity, and as h? was missing, from his company hi:<. death was finally reported. Seme; other soldier was buried under his name. ? j A surgical operation gave him new jaw bones, and today one has to ex amine his face carrfui'y to find t'nei sears. When young Oakes enlisted in 1914 he was I?, but his discharge papers, give his age as 2"> years. This is be cause ho was so anxious tc^enlist that he raised his age. Oakes has been citccl for bravery and has re ceived a medal of honor. BELIEVE HI NS WILL SIGN" Address More Communications to j "Big Four" Yesterday Paris, May lo.?The "I ig four" i yesterday received three new notes { from the German delegates relative to the .peace terms. Their nature was not disclosed. Seven communications concerning the treaty have thus far been de livered to the allies. The requests.* contained in the first two were promptly refused. The second two, j dealing with labor and German war priscneis, were referred to a special ? I committee cf experts. Confidence was expressed in high J quarters that, notwithstanding the I present flood of communications from the Germans, they will com plete their objections to the terms well within the fifteen days' time limit and that the allies will have made full reply within another ten days. The same authority admitted the cleverenss of the labor note, which may be used as a wedge for more objections, and also as a means of winning the sympathy nf certain radical elements throughout the world.
