Rock Island, Ill., May 11. -- Lieut. Adrian C. Edwards of Carrolton, Ill., reported in today's American casualty list as having been killed in action in France, was commissioned at the second officer's training camp at Fort Sheridan last summer. Formerly he was assistant state's attorney of Rock Island. A letter received from him told of a narrow escape from death he had had in an engagement with the Germans. Our municipal roll of honor was augmented yesterday by the name of a runaway lad who went off to the war, Corporal Arthur B. Lutterbach, killed by an accidental explosion in France. In the casualty dispatches were mentioned Clyde P. Grimm of 7339 Yale avenue and three killed and three wounded from contiguous Illinois territory. Lutterbach was 19 years old when he ran away from the home of his father, Albert Lutterbach, 4815 Newport avenue, to join the army headquarters company, Ninth infantry, in January, 1917. He was a brother of Mrs. Arthur Werner of 817 Belden avenue. "This is a gay life. Shells pop around me every time I go out for a spin in my ambulance Ford," wrote Grimm in his last letter. He enlisted in an ambulance corps last June and sailed for France in December. In every letter to his mother he has related his hazardous experiences. He is 26 years old and unmarried. Son of Veteran Pilot. Joseph Leo Lamoreaux was yesterday reported as lost when the steamer Florence H. was internally exploded in the Atlantic on April 17. He was the son of Joseph Lamoreaux, 6724 Champlain avenue, a veteran great lakes pilot, and now connected with the Dunham Towing and Wrecking company. The young man was 22 years of age and a graduate of Armour Institute of Technology. He was employed by the American Shipbuilding company of South Chicago when he enlisted in February in the merchant marine service. He went directly to New York City, and was assigned to the Florence H. as third assistant engineer. Lieut. Adrian C. Edwards of Carrollton, Ill., was killed in action; Private William J. Hamilton of Decatur died of wounds, and Private Glen Hockenbery of Danville died of disease. Lieut. La Rose Recovering. Lieut. James La Rose, son of Health Commissioner James T. La Rose of Zion City, has been reported recovering from injuries received in service on the western front, in a letter received by Dr. La Rose. Lieut. La Rose entered service with the Canadian air forces. Corporal James B. Ives of Battery D. Three Hundred and Thirty- third light field artillery, who was killed on Thursday while at work with the battery, was borne to the grave from the home at 7117 Aberdeen street yesterday by soldiers of the battery led by Capt. H. L. Linn. Sergt. Frank R. Ives of Camp Mills, Newport News, attended the funeral. PHOTO CAPTION: CLYDE GRIMM, ambulance driver in the medical department, U. S. A., was seriously wounded on April 26 in France while driving his machine. He is the son of Mrs. Sarah J. Grimm, 7339 Yale avenue, and enlisted last June.
