TWO DARTMOUTH MEN REPORTED MISSING

According to dispatches received in this country from General Pershing, two more Dartmouth men have been either killed or captured by the Germans. Lieutenant Benjamin Prescott Burpee '09 of Manchester, New Hampshire, serving with a medical unit of the British Army in France, and Corporal Herman K. Whitmore '18 of Haverhill, Massachusetts, a member of the Lafayette Escadrille, have both disappeared.

Lieutenant Burpee went to France at the outbreak of hostilities with the American Ambulance Corps. When the United States entered the war, he returned to this country, enlisted in the Medical Corps, and went abroad again. He had been serving up until the time of his capture last month in the Medical Corps attached to the British armies on the western front.

Corporal Whitmore was one of the first men to leave College after our declaration of war. He went to France as a member of the first Dartmouth Ambulance Corps, but soon after his arrival abroad transferred to the Lafayette Escadrille. He was but recently promoted to a corporalcy. He was last seen on April 6, when on patrol duty he flew over the Allied lines' in the Armentiere section in the direction of the German trenches.
