Entire Family as Victims

Philadelphia, Oct. 12.-William
Brown, of Audubon, N. j., received
word on Wednesday from his aged
mother in Sheffield, Eng, that his
younger brother had been "gassed,"
a favorite nephew killed in action,
another nephew badly wounded and
sent to a base hospital and a niece
has not been heard from since sail
ing for England several weeks ago.
His mother, too, has been victim
of German air raiders, her home
having been damaged by bombs.
Browns mother writes that the
brother. Peter Brown, 80 years old
has aged by his gas experience and
his hair has turned gray. His recov-
cry is doubtful, the letter sayc The
nephew who was killed was only 10
years old. He had been in service
eight months, six of which were
spent in training and the other two
