YOUTH FALL IN FRANCE

Alva DUNLAP Enlisted Under Assumed Name; Only 16 Years Old

Although only 16 years old, Alva Knight DUNLAP, son of Mrs. Alva DUNLAP of Chicago, but formerly of Baltimore, ran away from home when the United States entered the war, enlisted in the army under the name of Albert PATRICK and served 15 months in France before being killed in action.

Word of his death has been received by his mother, who made public his right name so that he "may have credit for his bravery."


SEIDEWITZ’s Death Shock To Friends

Funeral of Florist Who Took Life Saturday Planned For Wednesday

The funeral of Edwin A. SEIDEWITZ, a leading florist of Baltimore and former Mayor of Annapolis, who committed suicide by shooting himself through the right temple, will probably be held Wednesday from his residence, Belvidere avenue and Old Pimlico road, West Arlington. Services will be in charge of the Masons.

Friends of Mr. SEIDEWITZ were shocked when they read in The News Saturday of his death, but those who knew him intimately said he had been suffering for some time with mental and nervous disorders since the United States entered the war, and that conditions had been preying on his mind.

His body was discovered by members of his family just before breakfast Saturday after they heard the sound of a pistol shot come from his room. Coroner H. H. EMLICH, after an investigation, gave a verdict of suicide.

Mr. SEIDEWITZ was 52 years old and was born on Columbia avenue. AT one time he was president of the Rotary Club, but resigned from this office following criticism of his actions in the Hotel Junker in the spring of 1917 when he entertained men from German steamers in port and later kissed several of them.

For some time he had been depressed over war conditions and the effect they were having on his flower shop at 323 North Charles street.

He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Adele SEIDEWITZ; one daughter, three sons and one sister.


Marshal CARTER has been asked by the Chief of Police of Elizabeth, N. J., to find a Mrs. W. F. BARE of Presbury street, and to notify her that her daughter, Mrs. Marie Bare LEHME, is dead in that city. The telegram gave no details of the woman’s death.

News Of Maryland And The Virginias

"OVER THERE"

Maryland farmers in the American Expeditionary Force are telling the folks back home of French methods of agriculture. Private Walter BRANDENBURG writes his father, S. E. BRANDENBURG of Linwood: "We sure see some funny sights over here. The farmers seem to raise good crops but are very much behind time in tools and equipment. In some parts of France the wheat is still cut with a cradle and the grass with a seythe [sic]. They have very few four-wheeled wagons and most of the hauling is done on a large, heavy, two-wheeled cart to which is harnessed a big horse or an ox. The stock they have is fine—big, fat cows and oxen and sleek horses; also lots of sheep and goats.

Mrs. Esther J. BONNEVILLE of Snow Hill received a letter from her son, Private Marion S. BONNEVILLE, U. S. Marines, who was wounded in France several weeks ago. He wrote:

"I was slightly wounded July 19 near Soissons, where the Allied forces pushed the Germans back. We are pushing forward, and hope soon to be back with my regiment. I have been transferred from the French Hospital to Base Hospital 34, in Nantes, which is an American hospital. I am getting fine treatment, and it is a pleasure to lie in a nice clean bed. I hope the war will soon be over, and I believe it will."

He told his mother that before he was wounded he frequently saw his brother Elton, who is a dispatch bearer in the motorcycle squad and received his wound while in the performance of his hazardous duties. He concluded his letter with the cheery words: "Don’t worry over us, as we will be going home before long. The Germans are on the retreat and I don’t think they can last much longer."

SOCIETY

August 25

Club hunting for the autumn has begun by the combined packs of the Elkridge and Harford Hounds, which meet several times a week in the early mornings. Like all other amusements, fox hunting has been hard hit by the war. In England, where the sport originated, many of the oldest packs have had to be abandoned for the present, as all followers of hounds are engaged in fighting or in war work. In America it is not quite so bad yet, but the hunting is daily becoming less indulged in. In Baltimore several former masters are overseas, including Maj. Redmond C. SEWART of the Green Spring Valley Hounds and Captain T. Courtney JENKINS of the Elkridge Hounds.

Lord HOWE, fourth Earl of his line and Lord Chamberlain to Queen Alexandra, has just sold to Samuel James WARING for the sum of a million pounds sterling, that is to say, for over $5,000,000, his principal country seat, Gopsail, in Leicestershire, with all its art treasures, including world-famed Murillos, Rembrandts and Van Dycks.
