Addison Leech Bliss '16.

Addison Leech Bliss '16 died last Thursday in France after a short attack of pneumonia, while serving with the American Ambulance Field Service. Bliss sailed form New York on January 28 with a detachment of ambulanciers, and word came that he had arrived safely in Paris. A cable received a week before his death informed his parents that he had contracted a cold, but no alarm was felt over his condition.

Bliss, who prepared at St. Mark's, was 24 years old.

Sameen Saliba '18.

The body of Sameen Saliba '18, an active worker for the Syrian relief fund, was found Sunday in a tract of woods north of Mt. Pleasant. A bullet hole in his temple and a revolver lying near at hand led to the belief that he had committed suicide.

Saliba, at one time a student in the New Bedford High School, had been missing from New Bedford for more than a week and the authorities, assisted by Boy Scouts, had covered a large territory in searching for him.

Saliba entered the University last fall, but suffered a nervous breakdown through overwork in connection with the Syrian fund and was obliged to leave College. He had recently been discharged as cured form the state hospital at Northampton.
