He left his home more than a year ago to go to Michigan to work on a farm. He was to send for his wife and baby later. No word was ever received from him. Came from Poland.

A cablegram from France yesterday carried the information that he had been gassed. He may recover. He formerly lived with his brother, Joseph, 5115 South Winchester avenue. Student Aviator Killed. Horace Wood of Evanston, a student aviator at Fort Worth, Tex., is dead as a result of a 3,500 foot fall in his airplane. He was trying to execute an intricate maneuver when his machine "bucked" and crashed before he could regain control. He was alive when taken from the wreckage and after he had been removed to the hospital it was thought he might recover. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence E. Wood, left for Fort Worth immediately on receipt of news of the accident, but the boy died a few hours before they arrived. The body will be brought to Chicago for burial. The death in France of Lieutenant Commander Lyman Blair Hoops, son of Thomas, J. Hoops of Middleton, Conn., and grandson of Mrs. H. O. Hoops of Chicago, is announced. Lieutenant Commander Hoops was born in 1892 and was appointed to the navy in 1912 from Connecticut. Before the outbreak of the war he was an ensign assigned to the battleship Texas.

He resigned and went to Toledo, Ohio, where he enlisted in the regular army. He is in the machine-gun company of the 26th Infantry. A telegram to his sister stated that he was wounded on May 28. He was two brothers, one of whom was recently honorably discharged from the army because of disability. The other brother is in the Marine Corps. Sergeant Gerald W.
