NEW ZEALAND MOTHER Seeks News Of He m--May Have Been "Unknown Canadian." Ottawa, Sept. 20.--An account of the heroism of an unknown Cana- dian, printed in English newspapers and reprinted in far-off New Zealand, has led an anxious mother at the other end of the World to ask the Canadian Government for news of her son. The story is one of a man who fought the Germans with three machine guns, going from one to an- other as the Maxims were found and destroyed by German shells, and fin ally, after using up all the machine guns and take a terrible toll of life from the massed Huns in front of him, picking up a rifle and continu- ing to shoot, with it until finally death overtook him. Right Hon Bon- ar Law, speaking of this man, said: "He is dead and his name is not known, but his deed is kmown, and that will live forever, as long as cour- age is courage and brave men are re- cognized."" Mrs. Henry Matthéws, of Suther- lands, South Canterbury, New Zea land, thinks this brave man may have been her son, James H. Matt- bews, who wrote to her last Decem- ber from Vancouver and spoke of go- ing to the war. «kn her fetter, in which she asks the Government for news of her son, she says: "It seems to me to read like what we think he would do un- der such circumstances. He neve: seemed as a boy to see any fear." The information which she seeks will be forwarded to her by tie Gov ernment if it is available.
