Let us abolish the liquor traffic and
such an order can be placed every

AviatOrs Escort Bodies of Men Killed
In Austrian Air Tragedy--Arehduke

Rites, While Birdmen Circle Above
Cemetery.

Vienna, June 3O.-An escort OF
twenty aeroplanes, flying mourning
flags, and manned by aviators fro n
several nations, formed flying guard
of honor at the funeral today of the
nine Austrian officers and men killed
in the tragic air catastrophe of last
Saturday. ;.
An enormous concourse of people
including several archdukes, members
of the Austrian cabinet, and foreign
military attaches, were present.
While the funeral service was in
progress the small-air craft circled
round and round the cemetery, and
then flew off in company.
The nine victims of the disaster
were apt. Johann Hauswirt, Lieuts
Ernst. Hofstetter, Flatz, Hocsta, BrueI
and Haidinger; Corpls. Hardina and
Weber, and Engineer Kammerer.
The ariel tragedy, which cost the
lives of the nine Austrian ayiators
buried today, occurred during the
Austrian army maneuvers. A military
diribigle was participating in the
movements, and was opposed by az
aeroplane. The smaller craft scared
above the balloon during the sham
battle, with the object of taking up 9
position to drop on its adversary q
mimic bomb. The pilot of the aero
plane appeared so clasely that one OF
the wings Of his plane ripped the great
