A Brilliant Man. Miss Molly Lucas, who is employ- ed in a London hotel, was engaged to Mr. McClelland from 1026 until three months ago. She said:"Mr." McClelland was far too warm-heart- ed and impulsive. He was a bril liant man who spoke languages, but he was a typical Irishman in other 'ways. He received a bad cheat wound at Gallipoli. After the war his luck seemed to go wrong, and the past few years have been a continual struggle.

"He must have been in some very dreadful trouble."

Mr. McClelland was forty-one. He had been honorary secretary of the Chelmsford branch of the British Legion and a member of the North Kensington Labour Party.
