The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1918-02-07

WASHINGTON, Feb. Identity of
the missing from the transport Tus-
cania, torpedoed and sunk off the
coast of Ireland with heavy loss of
American lives, was being established
today. The troops, among whom the
casualties are distributed were ma
tional guardsmen from Michigan and
Wisconsin and regulars from Camp
Macarthur, Texas.
In the absence of any further Offic-
Iial figures the department this after
noon accepted the British admiralty
figures that only 16S officers and men
of the American forces are missing.
These figures, however, it was ex-
planned do not check with those avail
able here.
Officials still were hopeful that this
list would be reduced when the COM
plete report is in. British destroyers
and coast guard vessels are aiding the
American destroyers in searching the
seas for possible survivors. The very
fact that the missing list was reduced
from in excess of 1000 to less than
300 during the night gave courage to
those who believed that others yet will
be reported saved.
The official reports of the units on
the Tuscania, former Cunarder turn
ed over to the United States by the
British government for use as trans
port, was as follows:
The 107th engineer train.
The 107th military police
The 107th supply train.
Aero squaron No. 100.
Aero squadron No. 1853.
Aero squadron No. 213.

Sad Death OF
Lawson Young Lady

Lawson, Colo..-The death of
Miss Helen Eberhard at St. Luke
hospital, Denver, on Friday, May
II, has cast gloom over our little
town and a source of grief to num-
erous friends elsewhere.
| Miss Eberhard was taking q
course of training to become a
nurse, when she was stricken by d
formation of blood clot in the in.
testines. During her two week g
illness everything was done to save
her life, but almost from the first
there was no hope.
The young lady was of a cheerful
disposition and easily won the love
and respect of all with whom she
came in contact, and was q general
favorite among her sister nurses
and the patients under her care.
Miss helen Eberhard was born
in Lawson April 26, 1899, and had
lived good part of her life here.
The remains we're laid to rest by
the side of her father, j. j. Eber-
hard, in Alvarado cemetery, on
Tuesday, May 81.
Rev. c. w. Sprouse, rector of
the Idaho Springs Episcopal
church, conducted the funeral ser.
vice and Mrs. Wave Wright and
Mrs. Zisch rendered a beautiful
song service.
The active pallbearers were six
young lady friends-Misses Vida
Seaton, Kathryn Chinn of Arvada,
Mary Donnelly, Kathryn Mari
hugh, Phyllis Lawson, aud Gladys
Lang of Denver.
Her mother, Mrs. James Taylor,
and uncle, r. B. Harding, were
called to her bedside at the be-
ginning of her illness and remain
ed at the hospital until her death,
Owing to being dangerously ill
with pneumonia, her sister, Mrs.
Vera Eberhard Mitchell, now in
North Dakota, was unable to come.
The bereaved family have the
heartfelt sympthy of a very large
circle of friends.
