FUNERAL OF GERMAN
SAILOR HELD HERE
SUNDAY AFTERNOON

At the base of tall pine tree in a
corner of our magnificent National
Cemetery most pathetic burial took
place Sunday afternoon. 1t was un-
der the direction of Capt. E. |. Small
and Major of Cavalry Adna 7,
Cloude, of Fort Mcpherson. The
victim of pneumonia was Adolph
Brandes one of the sailors on the
Kronprinz Wilhelm which was in
termed at Norfolk, Va, in May 1915.
These sailors have been in Atlanta
since April 1917 confined as prison
ers of war. The funeral service had
been conducted at the camp in At
lanta but brief service was held at
the grave by Chaplain H. A. Brown,
who has recently filled the pulpit of
St. James church and delivered fine
sermons.
The casket came from Atlanta in
big army truck and in automobiles
following were the six comrade sail
ors who were pall-bearers and the
firing squad of soldiers who fired
three volleys over the grave.
There were two officers from the
crew of the interned German ship.
Mr.. Meinert and Mr.. Schilling, who
are native Germans, shook hands
with their unfortunate country men
and expressed greetings in their own
language as no conversation is al
lowed between the sailors and others.
There were a great many people
present as Mrs. Wilson had kindly
'phoned her friends all over town so
it would not be drearier experience
for the unfortunate foreigners than
is usual on such occasions.
Mrs. Lyon brought bouquet to
place on the grave for his mothers
sake; Mrs. Meinert brought big
bunch of roses and another of scarlet
sage; Miss Mary Cole also placed a
bouquet of rose buds on the fresh
earth. At the foot of the grave was
an immense wreath of galax leaves,
with white lilies dropping on one
side, from his comrades and at the
head a great heart with center of
crimson roses, then row Of white
sweet peas and after this row of
blue violets in clusters and bordered
with asparagus fern. This was from
the Americans in Atlanta and
seemed to typify affection and pa
triotism.
This poor sailors fate is a happy
one compared with that of many
others who are mangled and die a
lone in agony and are never laid to
rest in any grave. He was 80 years
old and may leave wife and chill
dren in his home across the sea, but
it will be some solace to his loved
ones if they ever see the pictures
taken at the burial and have written
to them description of the beauti-
full spot where ne lies under Geor-
gia's blue sky.
