Martinsburg Boy Gives Up Life
For His Country.
ENLISTED IN THE NAVY;
ASSIGNED TO CYCLOPS
Son of Mrs. j. w. Thomas, of
This City, and Well Known
Here---Was Expecting To
Come Home On Furlough.

The name of James Guy Schaffer,
OF Martinsburg. has been added TO
The roll of heroic dead OF the Unit
ed States naval forces. and his Te-
mains now probably lie at the bottom
OF the Atlantic ocean, somewhere be-
tween Havana, Cuba, and Brooklyn,
IN Y. .
He was u fireman in the Ameri-
cln navy. and member OF the crew
of the CAN'T collier Cyclops, which Is
believed to have been lost Off the
eastern coast of the United States,
the victim of plot to sink her in
mid-ocean.
Young Schaifer was son !of Mrs,
J. WI Thomas, of South Water street
and was well known in this city,
where he had lived for number Of
years. and where he had many
friends. He was born in CunAber-
land, Md, and would have been 20
years old in june next He was
married in April 1919. In Hagarstown,
to Miss Fairy Belle Bryarly, OF this
city, who resides with her mother,
Mrs. Daisy Douglas, on North Queen
street, and who has been officially
notified by the navy department.. at
Washington, of the death Of her hus-
band while on active service at sea
Fireman Schaffer enlisted in the
United States navy last summer In
Hagerstown, and after briuk Etnt To
Baltimore and Norfolk. was assigned
to the collier Cyclops, one Of the
biggest fuel ships OF the American
navy, and which was engaged in
coaatwse service out OF Brooklyn. He
wrote to his relatives in Martinsburg
shortly before he left Brooklyn ON
the Cyclops the last time that the
vessel was in bad condition, and that
she would be locked for repairs upon
her return to Brooklyn, thus affording
him time for a Through, which he
would spend at his old home here.
The Cyclops went to South American
waters. and was on her return Noy-
age when she met her fate sSlie
was last reported from a port in the
WEST indies, presumably Cuba. on
March A. and was scheduled to reach
Brooklyn about March 10. Nothing
has been heard from her SINCE de-
spite the fact that the navy depart-
ment has been making a wide search
for her. Theory is now advanced that
a bomb was planted in her hold by a
German agent, and that she WAS
hlown up in mid-ocean, going down
with all on board. 1.s esg
In addition to his mother. Fireman
Schaffer is survived by one, brother
and one sister--Lee Schaffer. qf,Cum-
herland, and Mrs. Edith. Clendenning,
