Germany's Greatest Aviator,
Shot Down Behind the
Somme, Was Credited
With 80 Aerial Victories

OTTAWA, April 22.-The funeral of
Baron Won Richthofen, the famous Ger
man aviator, who was brought down
last night by the British, was held this
afternoon, according to cable dis
patch received here tonight from Reu-
ter's correspondent at the British
headquarters in France.
"The funeral was a most impressive
spectacle" says the dispatch. "The
airman was buried in a cemetery not
far from the spot where he was brought
tended"

pcrtant feature, because it means that
production will decrease and there will
be consequent reduction in the
amount Of grain used for brewing.
The increased duty on tobacco hits
the user hard, and many will be forced
to go without their smokes. The ordi-
nary grade of pipe tobacco will now
cost % cents an ounce. The sugar tax
will mean little to athe individual, as
his allowance is now only half a pound
a week.
The women must curtail their pur-
chases of lingerie, millinery and other
luxuries, just as did our French allies.
Though no estimate can now be made
of the sum to be raised from luxures,
the Chancellor of the Exchcguer con-
siders that it will be very large.

GUATEMALA CITY, April 22.-The
National Assembly at its session to-
Gay declared the Republic of Guate
mala to occupy the same position
toward the European bclligerents as
does the United States.
Guatemala broke diplomatic rela-
tions with Germany in April, 1917. The
action now taken is apparently in
tended to constitute declaration Of
war against Germany and Austria
Hungary, with which the United States
is now at war
Guatemala is the nineteenth nation
to declare war on Germany. In addi-
ton, seven nations have broken rela-

a little over two mill!nns. Of whom
about 60 per cent are pure indians.
The military forces are inconsiderable
The most important crop in Guatc-
mala is coffee, and Germans own more
than half of the coffee plantations.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, April 22.-Baron Manfred
Won Richthofen, the famous German
aviator, was shot down and killed last
night back of the British lines along
the Somme front. Details of the death
of the airman are lacking, but, as
showing the temper of British officers,
it may be said the correspondent heard
the ardent hope expressed that RIGHT
hofcn died lighting in an air battle
with a worthy opponent rather than
by being shot down by anti-aircraft
guns.
LONDON, April 22.-An official state

yesterday at Berlin said: "Baron RIGHT
