CLYDE C. PELLEY'S BODY RES.
CUED FROM THE SEA.

4 Cedar Rapids Republican,.
on a high green plain above the
blue sea, with misty Scottish hills ris-
ing all around to protect them from
intrusion, Clyde Carlyle Pelley and
his comrades who perished with the
Tuscania are sleeping till the hated
Hun is vanquished and the war drums
cease to beat The pounding sea at
i the foot of the cliff is their requiem,
but the heather blooms on the hills
Is promise that this is not their end.
They sleep there for little while
till German torpedoes are driven
from the seas and then they will be
brought back to the land Of their
birth and again laid to sleep by the
ones who loved them best. And still
again, please God, they shall rise and
live forever where there is no war,
neither sorrow nor weeping, nor any
pain.
Clyde Carlyle Pelley was on the
fated Tuscania when she was sunk by
German torpedo Feb. s, 1918. Since
that time Mr.. and Mrs. A. p. Nugent
have suffered poignantly because they
did not know whether his body had
been recovered or whether it was in
the sea. Mr.. Pelley was their nephew
but they had reared him and he was
as their own.
Mrs. Nugent has just received the
following communications from the
war department telling how Clyde's
body was identified and promising
that it shall be brought back to this
country for burial after the war:
Mrs. Anna E. Nugent,
1411 Washington Ave,
Cedar Rapids, La.
Dear Madam:
With reference to our recent tele-
gram announcing that Clyde G. Pelley
was officially reported missing in the
sinking of the "Tuscania,' Feb. 5
1918, I deeply regret to inform you
that by means of finger prints taker
of the unidentified bodies, it has beer
determined that he died in that dis
aster and was buried in grave No. 33-
Null of Ca Port Nan Gallon, Islay
Scotland
The inclosed mimeograph from thu
Oban Argyllshire "Times" Of Feb. %
1918, describes the burial ceremonie!
fully.
1t is not the intention of the wal
department to return the bodies o
our dead to the United States before
the close of the war, when it is ex
pected that all will be returned fo
interment at their former residences
at public expense, and such remova
by individuals is impracticable durinl
the emergency. In the meantime, a.

 To care for American wounded sent from the French sectors to French military hospitals, the A merican Red Cross has assigned one of it's nurses and g French and English speaking Red Cross aie to every French hospital caring for our men, according to report just received from Paris. Before these nurses were assigned, some of our men who had been fighting m French regiments arrived at insti- tutions where TO one could speak English. A few of these soldiers, not recognizing the language, thought that they htd been captured and were in the hands of the Ger mans. Doctors and nurses could not understand the patients, who, therefore, had difficulty in describ- ing their symptoms and making clear their needs.

 The trip to Fairbanks, on which he killed a black bear between Tanana and Gulkana waters, was made in eight days. Railroads and automobiles, dog teams and horse teams, and finally shanks mare were used before Fairbanks was reached. The return trip was made under similar conditions in seven days time. The distance is some ,35O miles. The season was so late that not until after the first of July could one get clear through with an automobile. Unmelted glaciers of unusual size were the greatest diff ficulty.
 Major Waugh reported several quartz mines in the Willow Creek district actively engaged in extract ing the precious yellow metal with stamp mills. Other prospects, were being developed and showed good promise of metal in paying Guart- ties. There was s25e,O00 in gold produced by follr. mills last year at Willow Creek. Il A MiA Sw

Gee! House" Since the middle of June, 1917, when the hostess house for the Re serve Officers Training Camp at Plattsburg, N. Y, was opened, this branch of the work of the Y. w. C..

Dandruff is the cause of nine-tenths of all hair trouble. and dandrufr is caused by germ. The only way to cure dand- ruff is to kill the germ; and. so far, the only hair preparation that will positively destroy the germ Is Newbro's Herpicide- absolutely harmless. free from grease. sediment, dye matter or dangerous drugs It allays itching instantly; makes hair glossy and soft as silk.
