In the overseas casualty list given out at Ottawa tonight appears the name of H. E. Walt, Chicago, among those missing and believed killed. Shows Up Submarines. With more than 800,000 soldiers sent overseas, officials pointed to the small number, 291, lost through operations of German submarines as showing the effectiveness of the convoy system. The men lost were on the torpedoed British steamers Tuscania and Moldavia. The former was taking troops from America to England and the latter from England to France. The comparatively small number of men dying from wounds is pointed to as indicating the efficiency of the ambulance and hospital systems, while the fact that only 1,234 men have died of disease is accepted as proof of the excellent physical condition of America's fighting men. Another satisfying consideration is that of the wounded men a very high percentage return to duty at the front in less than six weeks. CORPORAL FRANK TOPINKA, killed in action, was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Adolf Topinka, 2734 South Avers avenue. The family are Bohemians and have been in this country but nine years. Corporal Topinka enlisted in the army April 26, 1917, and arrived in France in September. PRIVATE LEO BALDWIN, killed in action, enlisted a few days after the United States entered the war. He went to France as a member of Battery D, Seventh field artillery. He formerly made his home with his sister, Mrs. D. F. McCarthy, living at 1057 West Eightieth street. FIRST LIEUTENANT JAMES MACBRAYER SELLERS, Sixth United States marines, reported severely wounded, was graduated from the University of Chicago in 1917. He enlisted early in the war. He formerly lived at the Beta Theta Pi house, 5717 Blackstone avenue. |
