pneumonia and would be taken from
the train at Peru, Ind, and sent to
a hospital 1t was reported to the
Relief Committee here which wired
the same committee at Peru with the
result that Mrs. DeHaven has heard
of his condition daily. Walter has
had flowers and delicacies and the
promise that as soon as he is able
he would be transferred to private
home and cared for till he is able
to join his company. This is only
one of the many cases which the
Civilian Relief committee has power
to handle and it is a source of salts
faction to the families of the boys
to know that someone stands ready
TO do all that can be done to relieve
their anxiety and to help when help
