Private Thomas w. Cook Falls Into
a River in France and is Borne
Down by the Swift Current
Mother Receives Notice of Death.

NIrs. Isabella Cook, widow of NJ
Cook, who resides at 1112 Queer
street, has received the following
from Frank E. Miller, First Lieut.
enant of Engineers, announcing the
drowning of her son, Private Thomas
w. Cook, in France on the oath ulti-
mo.
Dear Madam:
Shortly after dinner on February
oath, 1919, your son Private Thomas
w. Cook, left camp with one of the
other men of this organization, in
tending to take a little walk. They
Jalked to the town of Turpinay
(Loir-et- -Cher) France which is only
a short distance from camp, and
when they came to the River Sauldre
your SON suggested that they sit down
on the bridge and rest. He sat down
on the wooden railing of the bridge
which was we'll decayed, and as he did
so the railing broke and he fell back
ward into the river. The current ir
this river is very swift and it car
led him swiftly away. He was seen
to come up two or three times, but
aside from his companion there was
no one around and the possibilities Of
rescue were impossible owing to con-
ditions. To date his body has not been
recovered, but we are working tili-
gently and assure you that every
effort is being made to recover the
body.
In accordance with Army Regula-
tons the personal effects of your son
have been turned over to the Quar-
ermaster. who in turn will forward
them to you.
The deceased was twenty-five years
old and unmarried.
Private Cook was of exceptionally
rood character and military record,
and was highly esteemed by all his
comrades, and on their behalf I wish
to express our sincere sympathy and
f there is anything that we can dc
eor you, or any further information
hat you may desire we will be pleas
ID to assist you in every way possible.
Washington papers please copy.

SPREAD OF BOLSHEVISN.
Hungary's Declaration of War
Against the Allies Viewed With
Grave Concern in Europe--General
Chaos in Germany.

Amsterdam, March Bolshevism
is spreading through Bosnia, Croatia
and Slavonia. Armed peasants and
wori;man are battling with Serbs.
Communists have occupied the banks
and many newspaper offices through
out Hungary. Liberation Of Karl
Radak. the Russian Bolshevist aeita-
tor, by the Berlin authorities Is con-
frmed.
Zurich. March 25.-Gen. Georgy's
Hungarian army, estimated at 10000,
is making rapid Roadway in is mar,h
On Poland. having crossed the Dniest-
er south of Lemberg, according to
la.e dispatches from the Hungarian
border,
Paris. March 25.-Hungary's alli-
ance with the Bolsheviki and declara-
ticn Of war against the allies renders
necessary the occupation Of strategic
cen:erS in Central Europe, unless
peace is speedily signed. This belief
prevailed here yesterday when lead
erS cf the associated powers met to
discuss the new crisis.
Spread Of Bolshevi.m into Austria
Will mean severance of allied COM
mum. ations with Poland and Czecho-
S!ovahs, both of which are regard
ed as certain to join the BoIsheviki
if the steady flow of food is inte:-
rupted.
Berlin, March 25.-All German
newspapers are full Of BoiShevik
news. TeleGrams from all parts of
Hungary report absolute quiet and
order prevail under the workers and
soldiers dictatorship.
The Berliner Zeitung says:
"Bolshcvism in Hungary is merely
a Scare attempt to avoid its debts
to the entente" This is humorous
in view of the fact that it is exact
ly what some Huneas.;an -paners say
of Germany.
Il is learned authoritativcly that
the Spartacans have postponed their
general strike coup from the end Of
this month until April s.
Many influential persons look for
chaos in Germany. 1t appears doubt
ful if the government can hold its own.
London March 2j.-Has Frank
Vandcrl;p, hard-hcaded American
banker, voiced from Paris warning
which statesmen and publicSts On
this side Of the Atlantic dared not
utter though they HnOw in their
hears that his picture foreshadowing
The imminent wre kaec of European
civilization by Bolshevism is not over
drawn?
Washington, March 25.-Surrender
Of the Hungarian government to the
Bc!shayist forces constitutes a grave
menace 70 the peace of Europe. IN the
opinin &c government officials here
who are in close touch with develop
merits at Budapest.
State Department officials made no
attempt yesterday to concea! their
concern over the situation as reveal
ed in the brief cable messages that
have arrived.
