Captain GrisWold Gassed, Wounded and Shocked-His Bugler Is Heard From by Relatives.

Correspondence from France indi- oates that in the battle of Seicheprey Captain Alfred H. Griswold was gassed, wounded and shell shocked and had to go to a hospital. His trouble was not serious. A letter from France says that instructions from the officers in command were that those men in the front line of trenches had instructions to hold out to the very last night and true to the fighting spirit of America and Connecticut the boys of New Britain held fast.
 A letter dated April 27, was received today from Bugler Burt Newton, whose home is in Hartford but who is a relative of James Cochrane of this city, stating that in the attack at Seicheprey he was a victim of concus- sion and went to a hospital. He was reported IS missing. Another brother is still missing Newton is the bugler in Captain Griswold's company.

FOUR RAIDERS SHOT DOWN
London Populacc Given Ample Oppor- tunity to Seek Shelter Before Bombs Began to Rain Down.

London, May 2o.-A calm summer like night tempted the Germans to try last night their first air raid on London since March ', and four of the raiders fell before the defenses of London.
 The moon was shining brightly when the raiders crossed the south eastern point and headed for the metropolis. The usual warnings were. given promptly and the people had time to reach shelters before the guns nj the neighborhood of London were heard. The firing was almost con- tinuous for more than two hours and was unusually severe. Several bonn bs were dropped by the raiders.
 The number of enemy aircraft is not known, but they seem to have been more numerous than usual
 Thirty-seven persons were killed and 155 injured in the London area during last nights air raid.

he brought down his 18th enemy ma chine, which so far as known, was the number standing to his credit when he was killed and which is by far the largest credited to any Ameri- can aviator either with the American or French army.
 Lufbery's father was a native-born American but his mother was French and Lufbery himself was born in France 34 years ago. For the great CT part of his life he was a traveller, taking up occupations in various parts of the world where his fancy led him. Thus for instance, he served at one time for IS months with the American army in the Phil ippines, and was successive]y occu- pied at times in Algeria, Egypt, Tur- key and in various parts of Europe.
 He joined the French aviation service in 1916 and soon began to develop marked skill as an airman with the famous Lafayette escadrille. By November of that year he had shot down six machines and had been cited for bravery, and early last year he won the cross of the Legion of Honor. Later he was presented with the gold medal of the Aero Club of France, the British military medal, the war medal of the Aero Club of America, and several times had been cited in French army or ders, once as "an incomparab ble pilot" He had several narrow es- capes from death.
 When the American air service be- gan to assume active shape in France, Lufbery was commissioned a major in the American army and late in January of this year was in- ducted into the United States serv- ice with that rank.

LOW SPIRIT OF ARMY
 DELAYS HUN ADVANCE
Hindenburg Waiting for Res t0ratiOn of Battle Fever
 in Men.

With the French Army in France, May 19 (By The Associated Press )- The Germans apparently are await ing the return of the offensive spirit among some of their best divisions, severely tried during the first stages of the offensive. before re-opening operations.
 Large numbers of their units lost considerable portion of their ef- fectives in the heavy fighting in Picardy and Flanders, and despite the fact that the ranks have been filled from depots in the rear strong impressions of the terrific ordeal through which they passed are still retained by them. Most of these shattered divisions have enjoyed only three Or four weeks since, which ex- pertinent has demonstrated is hardly sufficient time in which to restore fighting spirit. The German com mand knows this well and, therefore, is holding back as long as possible before attacking so as to have more recuperated units available to add to those which have not participated in the fighting up to this time.
 < It seems probable that the enemy

Laon and Rheims. where the front is well served by railroads which would enable them to attempt a surprise on the Allies by making a big demonstration there with the intention of attacrting Gen eral Foch's reserves while they carry out their main effort further north.
 The Allies, however, are well pre- pared for eventualities. The Ameri- cans are working in the greatest har- mony with the French and British, and the most complete confidence reigns among officers and men in all the Allied armies.
 British Headquarters in France, May 20 (via Ottawa)-Parts of northern France have become within a short period thickly populated with American fighting troops and great American training camps and depots are springing up where two months ago only British khaki vas normally seen.
 The outstanding impression of American organization may be sum- ] med up in one word-thoroughness One is conscious at every turn of the resolve of the Americans to fight un- 1 til victory is achieved.
 Training is being tirelessly carried out in com bination with the British and French. Large formations are steadily being drafted to augment the Americans already in the fighting line and these are immediately being re- placed by still larger numbers.

With the American Army Tn Ffance, May 19 (By The Associated Press) - Major Raoul Lufbery, of the American Flying Corps has been killed in an aerial battle. He will be buried to- morrow with full military honors In which French and American troops will participate. Lufbcry's home was in Wallingford, Conn.
 The German machine, which brought Lufbcry down and which was armed with two machine guns with an operator for each, apparently escaped.
 Lufbery's only wound, aside from those received when he crashed to earth, was a bullet hole through the thumb. Apparently the same bullet punctured one of the gasoline tanks of his machine.
 The German machine was under heavy anti-aircraft fire several times before and after the fight, and one explosion of a shell upset the enemy plane, but it managed to straighten out again.
 It was about 10 o'clock this morn ing when a German triplane suddenly descended from the clouds, apparently because of engine trouble, until it was only some 1,500 meters over the city of Foul. The American fiers were on the alert and some of them headed for the fighting line to await the enemy on his return.
 Lufbery and the pilot of another machine made after the German, who quickly ran away in the direction of the lines, tho two Americans follow ing him About two miles from the oneEly's lines, Lufbery was seen to at- tack from under the tail, but then he drew off as if his machine gun had damned. Two minutes later he at- tackled again from the sa1ne position and almost immediately his machine burst into flames.
 Two hostile airplanes have been brought down by American aviators, says an official announcement issued at American headquarters this eve- ming The statement, timed at p. nl., folloWs:
 Aside from activity of the air forces on both sides, the day was quiet at all points occupied by our troops. Our aviators brought down two hostile machines
 A report that two German airplanes were shot down northwest of Toul this morning is not confirmed. During one | of many fights on both sides of the line, two enemy machines were seen
  l that they strengthened out before hit 1 ting the ground and escaped. The American aviators have not been cred
 tied with victories.
 A French aviator this afternoon shot
 down an enemy plane back of the
 Luneville sector. Two men from the
 plane were captured by the Ameri-
 cans. The German came from some
 where in the rear. It is reported, al. though not confirmed, that this is the i machine which brought down Major
 LufberT.
 There has been extraordinary aeria activity in this sector.
 Major Raoul Lufbery has been at- | tached to the Am erican aviation
 corps less than four months, but be- | fore that he had made a brilliant i record as a member of the Lafayette | escadrille with the French army and | was generally accounted the leader 1 of the American aces. Only recently
