CHICAGO NOTES FROM THE TRIBUNE: =============================== The navy department today announced the accidental drowning at Pensacola, Fla., on June 22 of Seaman Russel B. Manchester, N. N. V., of 96 Brayton-st., Fall River, Mass. Fireman Hugh S. Croft, U. S. N., of Sisseton, S. D., was reported drowned at Oceanview, Va., on June 17. LIEUT. PAUL WAPLES DERRICKSON, killed in action, and listed as from Norfolk, Va., lived in Chicago before entering the second officers' training camp at Fort Sheridan, where he won his commission. He was formerly with Seasrs, Roebuck & Co., and was a student of the Chicago Kent College of Law, from which he would have graduated last fall. A GOLD star will be placed on THE TRIBUNE service flag today for Lieut. Charles J. Buckley, Three Hundred and Thirtyeighth U. S. aero squadron, who died yesterday at Hicks, Tex., of injuries sustained in an airplane accident last Friday at Taliaferro field. The body will be brought to Chicago for burial. Lieut. Buckley's is the first gold star to be placed among the 208 stars of THE TRIBUNE service flag. He was 24 years old and was in the classified advertising department from Aug. 23, 1915, until Aug. 21, 1917, when he entered the service as a member of the aviation reserve corps. His rudimentary and ground school training was received at Champaign. In November of 1917 he was transferred to Rantoul, thence to Ellington field at Houston, Tex., and on Dec. 15, 1917, he was made a cadet. He won his lieutenant's commission Feb. 25, 1918. Recently he had been instructor of hygiene at Fort Sill, Okla. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dennis J. Buckley, live at 6606 South Green street. Mrs. Buckley, who departed for Hicks, Tex., as soon as word of the accident was received here, and Lieut. Buckley's wife left last night for Chicago with the body. Among Chicago zone men named yesterday in the overseas casualties were Lieut. Guy Lawrence of Col. Henry J. Reilly's One Hundred and Forty-ninth Field artillery, who was gassed, but survived; Private Charles Basel, 5706 Honore street; Private Edward F. Meyers, Berwyn, Isadore Czarniewski, -- West Eighteenth place, and Joseph Kasper, 115 Bunker street, all killed in action. Private Meyers, whose address was incorrectly given as Berwyn, Pa., lived in the Chicago suburb with his father, William Meyers. He was 22 years old and was among the first national army men to go to France. He was formerly employed by the Western Electric company. Private Basel was formerly a carrier in the Chicago postal service. He entered the national army about a year ago. Both of his parents were born in Germany. Lieut. Paul W. Derrickson, killed in action, was listed as from Norfolk, Va., but he had made his home in Chicago for some time and had many friends here. NEW YORK NOTES FROM THE TIMES: =============================== James H. Scarr, head of the New York City Weather Bureau, received a telegram from Washington Monday announcing the death in action of his son, First Lieutenant James S. Scarr of the regular army. Lieutenant Scarr went into the army within a few days after Congress declared war, and was one of the first graduates of the officers' training camp at Fort Myer, Va. On his graduation from the Fort Myer training camp, Lieutenant Scarr was made a junior officer of the 30th Infantry, then at Syracuse, N.Y. He was promoted to First Lieutenant last November and made one of the battalion Adjutants of the regiment. In France, Lieutenant Scarr finished the course in the battle training school for officers with a general average of 98 percent. Lieutenant Scarr was engaged to marry Miss Grace Webb, daughter of Mayor and Mrs. George H. Webb, of Hasbrouck Heights, N.J. In a letter to his fiancee, dated May 30, just six days before he was killed, he spoke of an impending attack and said that a Captain and himself had figured out a new plan of attack and expected to submit it to their commanding officer the following morning. In another letter, to his parents, written a short time before his death, Lieutenant Scarr inclosed a clipping from a European newspaper as follows: God, who gavest men eyes to see a dream; God, who gavest men hearts to follow the gleam; God, who gavest men stars to find the heaven by; God, who madest men glad at need to die; Lord, from the hills again we hear the drum; God, who lovest free men, Lead on. We come. That poem, said Mr. Scarr last night, expressed his son's views with regard to this war. Private Joseph Leiter, named in yesterday's list from General Pershing as among those killed in action, was a nephew of Mrs. Rebecca Spiegel, of 82 Ridge Street, this city [New York]. He was a sharpshooter and a member of the 28th Infantry. Private Andrew Freeman, severely wounded, is a brother of Mrs. Pauline Ellenbogen of 500 East 163d Street. Freeman has a brother Max, who, when last heard from, was in the Austrian Army, into which he had been impressed, his sister says, although he is an American citizen. Frank McCarthy, mentioned as wounded severely in the Marine Corps casualty list, is 20 years old and was born in Beacon, N.Y. The family lives at 311 South Eleventh Street, Newark. |
