of Carrie Josephine, eldest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Gill Slabach at Akron,
Ohio, formerly of Garrett county. She
had been afflicted with rheumatism
over year. Her sufferings at times
were almost unbearable, but Carrie,
with her sweet and sunny disposition,
would bear them patiently. Her
parents moved from Piedmont to Ak
ron, Ohio, during the past year, hoping
that the change of climate would prove
a benefit to her health. For time her
condition improved, but finally, after
the devoted care of a loving mother
and father. and with all medical aid,
God came 70 relieve her of her suffer
ings. She was a bright and lovable
child. She always had a smile for
everyone with whom she came in con-
tact. During the past year while she
resided with her parents in Piedmont, it
was the pleasure of the writer to hear
the pleasant remarks of her school
mates, and her friends in general. con-
corning her sweet and pure life. In
the Sunday school which she attended
regularly, she was always a favorite
We are sometimes made to wonder
why such pure and rare gem from the
home is withdrawn, yet to the bereaved
ones, may they realize that it was God
who had given this lite to them, and it
was He who came again to claim His
own. May they put their trust in him
who doeth all things well.
Garry was nearly thirteen years old,
and is survived by father, mother,
brother and sister. She was a grand
daughter gof Mrs. Catharine Slabach,
residing at Gortner, and of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ami Forman of Underwood.
Interment was made at Akron, Ohio.

London, March 30.-The loss Of life
in the sinking OF the steamer Falaba
by a German submarine off the south
coast OF Wales on Sunday is placed
at about lis, according to figures CIV
en- out by the admiralty.
The admiralty's announcement says
that the crew of the vessel numbered
about 80 and that she carried about
100 passengers. There were 40 sur
Vivors, of whom s, including the cap
tain OF the vessel, died after they
were picked up.
Twenty-tnree of the crew and thres
passengers OF the steamship Aguila,
torpedoed by German submarine in
the English channel on Saturday, are
missing. The master OF the vessel
and nineteen members Of the crew
have been landed at F'ishguard.
The Falaba, which was engaged in
the African trade, left Liverpool Sat
urday night. Wireless signals OF dis
tress were received from her at
Lands End Sunday noon when the
Falaba was off Milford Haven.
The news OF the Falaba disaster
came as sharp shock to the British
public, which has been making light
OF the German blockade, taking it's
tone from the newspapers. The huge
loss OF life on the Falaba, coupled
with the fact that most OF the victims
were passengers, brought home vivid
ly the dangers that Turk in the seas
surrounding Great Britain.
Three OF the Falaba S lifeboats were
swamped. Many persons aboard the
vessel were thrown into the sea where
they strug ed while the submarine
cirCled about, Offering, according to
stories told by those rescued, no as
sistance.
The survivors relate that the liner
was seventy miles to the southwest
Of Milford Haven when the submarine
appeared. She called to the captain
of the Fa!aba TO heaye to, but he ig-
nored the order and promptly started
at full speed ahead.
The passengers and crew wera

submarine fired her torpedo. The pro-
jectile struck the Falaba in the en-
