of a frame building, Around it were
hundreds of wreaths Of flowers sent
by American aviators and French
army corps.
Atop allthe handsome wreaths was
4 little bunch of wild roses and dais.

paper saying it came from Major Luf.
bery's orderly and mentioning many
kindnesses. With tears in his eyes,
the orderly came up to the casket
and reverently placed the flowers on

ing to the report that the German
aeroplane responsible for the death
of Major Lufbery had been brought
down by q French aviator.
Funeral Very Impressive.
The funeral of Major Lufbery was
very impressive. The pail bearers,
three Americans and three French av.
ia.ors carried the flag-draped coffin
from the little frame building to a mo-
tor car for the trip to the grave. The
procession was led by an American
mand, and q company of American in
fantry just from the trenches and u
company of French infantry. Follow
ing we're 300 American and French
officers, including all Of Major Luf.
bery's companions in the air service.
PLANES SHOWER ROSES.
The party drew up at the grave and
while the service was being read, one
American aviator after another plah-
Cd down from the sky his motor shut
Off until he was just overhead. Each
threw out great lunches Of red roses,
which floated down on the coffin and
the barred heads of the officers and
caps OF the soldiers, who were drawn
up at attention.
At the conclusion of the services.
the French general stepped forward
and said: ."
REST peacefully, Major Lufbery,
close hNi the martyrs to our great
cause. Your glorious example will in
spire in us the spirit of sacrifice, till
the day when bumanity's enemy shall
be finally v4uquished Bood-bye.'
General Pays Homage.
The American general under whom
Major Lufbery once served as a prl.
vate soldier and chief of the aerial
service, also paid homage to the dead
aviator. The firing squad fired three
times across the grave, a bugler
sounded taps, and another bugler in
a nearby wood echoed it. AS the
sounds Of the bugles died away all was
silent, except for the groaning OF the
machines of Major Lubpey's comrades
patrolling the line high in the ar
and occa sionaIly the dull booming OF
distant guns.
