Died in Service "Loose me from fear, and make me see aright How each has back what once he stayed to weep — Homer his sight, David his little lad." Short sketches of these soldiers have appeared in the Era, vols. 21 i.ud 22. This alphabetical list is doubtless incomplete, and the Era will be pleased to have parents or others interested furnish information for a short — notice of those who have not been included in this list, boys of the West who gave their lives for the liberty of the nations. Send information to Editors of the Improvement Era, 20 Bishop's Bldg., Salt Lake City, Utah.

 Charles L. Flake, was killed in action in Siberia, June 22, 1919, while helping to rescue four of his comrades who had been taken prisoners by the anti-Kolchacks. He is a son of Mrs. Bell Flake, and is sur- vived by one sister and two brothers, and his wife, to whom the news of his death comes as a terrible shock, for he had been released to re- turn home in July. His wife, Mrs. Ruth Norberg Flake, and small babe reside at the home of her mother in Salt Lake City. Mr. Flake's home town is Snowflake, Arizona, although he resided a number of years in Salt Lake City and Los Angeles. He fulfilled a three-year mission in the Southern States, returning in April, 1918, at which time he married Miss Ruth Norberg, and later went to Siberia with the A. E. F.
