F. GIVEN, of Columbus, general manager for the Interstate Coal Co. The message was, "We are literally starving to death," and was found after the instructions carefully concealed in a more carefully censored letter which came to Chicago friends of Mr. GIVEN. The silent message caused considerable worry to Mr. GIVEN, whose wife and daughter have been in Germany for some time. He has not heard from them for more than a month, and with the absence of either direct or indirect news from, Mr. GIVEN is fearful of their fate. The message which carried the news of starvation was written on the envelope and covered carefully by the postage stamps. In the letter the statement was made, "Knowing what an ardent collector of foreign postage stamps you are, I suggest that you might soak the one from this envelope and add it to your collection." The Chicago relative is not a collector of postage stamps, and for this reason was puzzled to know what the writer referred to. He finally soaked off the stamp and found the message of suffering. Mrs. GIVEN and her daughter were last at Loschwitz, a suburb of Dresden, where the daughter is studying the violin under Leopold AUER. They have been in Europe for the past three years, each year Mr. GIVEN having made the trip to that country to spend several weeks with them. Because of the war last year the regular visit was postponed, and it is now almost 18 months since Mr. GIVEN has been with his family. Mrs. GIVEN is a sister of Judge Thomas A. JONES, a member of the state supreme court and Edwin JONES, state central committeeman.
