Chicago played her part in recent American victories in France at the cost of the lives of three of her sons and the wounding of eight others. This was information contained yesterday's combined army and marine corps casualty lists. Of the three who died only one was fortunate enough to meet his fate as the result of wounds received on the field of battle. He was Private Floyd De Roo of 2100 Washington boulevard, who enlisted in the army immediately after America entered the war, and one of whose two brothers is also in the service at Camp Funston. His mother, Mrs. E. De Roo Smith, and her sister, Mrs. H. Hensche, were sitting in their home Tuesday night talking of the war when Mrs. Smith remarked: Mother Had Premonition. "I haven't heard from Floyd -- I am afraid something has happened." "I've a presentiment he's dead," replied her sister. Yesterday came the news of his death from wounds while Mrs. Smith, who had married a second time, was at work. Mrs. Hensche had to break the news to her sister. Corporal Wilbert Moseby of 4500 South Wabash avenue, who died from disease, was the first Chicago Negro to give his life for the country in France. He enlisted with the Eighth Illinois infantry, now the Three Hundred and Seventieth infantry, a year ago. His sister, Mrs. Mollie Tapley, received the news of his death. The address and antecedents of Leo Servid, the second Chicagoan to die of disease, are unknown to the army officials. Brothers to Avenge Him. Corporal Walter Johnson of 2749 Sheffield avenue, severely wounded in action, will not go unavenged. He is one of five sons of Mrs. J. W. Johnson and the "baby" of the family and all of his brothers are either in the army or will be shortly, and they promise to take good care of the Huns. Walter enlisted last July. Gunnery Sergt. John Bont of 2531 Harrison street also has two brothers in the army. Harry is at Camp Custer and Minor is at Fort Radmon. Bont had seen sixteen years of service with the marines, making the trip around the world with the fleet under the command of Rear Admiral Evans and serving at Vera Cruz. His wife yesterday expressed her pride that he should be among the wounded. Corporal Shannon Wounded. Corporal Neil S. Shannon of 5802 West Ohio street was the recipient of a slight leg wound, his father was informed in a cablegram from Arthur Shannon of the signal corps, Corporal Shannon's cousin. Shannon was wounded on June 7, the anniversary of his enlistment. Sergt. Walter F. Duda of 1715 North Winchester avenue, wounded, enlisted in the marine corps four year ago. He is 25 years old, and before his enlistment drove a butcher's wagon. A brother, John Duda, has announced his intention of Joining the Polish legion, having been rejected for the army. Last Letter Prophetic. Good-by and good luck," John Joseph Posedal, one of the marines killed June 5, wrote concluding his last letter to his friend, Walter Staats. He belonged to the Eighty-first company, Sixth machine gun battery, United Sates marines. He was 25 years old, and enlisted a year ago. Before the war he assisted his father, Martin Posedal, a painter living at Downers Grove. His brother, James, is a member of Troop E. Twelfth cavalry, stationed at Columbus, N. M. Earle O. Anderson of 1359 East Sixtysecond street, severely wounded, is a member of the Ninety-sixth company, Sixth regiment of marines. His mother received news of his wounding. Aviator Is Missing. Lieut.
