LUFBERRY'S FUNERAL

May %, Lieutenant Kenneth p.
Culbert, American aviator. was
killed in action in France and
was decorated with the Croix de
Guerre, with palms. The day be-
fore he died he wrote to his
friend, Professor c. 7. Copeland.
of Harvard, describing, among
other things, the funeral of Major
Raoul Lufbery. That part of his
letter, reprinted in the Harvard
Alumni Bulletin, follows. Young
Culbert was second lieutenant
in the Sixth United States Marines,
Squadron of the French Army.
He was in the class of 1917 at
Harvard.
Perhaps you'd like to hear of
Major Lufberys funeral-you doubt
less know that he was shot down,
and fell from his burning plane into
a courtyard. He had done a great
deal in uniting the French and
Americans-he was the greatest of
our airmen and seventh on the list
of French aces-he had all the quail
tiles of a soldier, audacity. utter fear
lessness, persistency, and tremendous
skill-in every way, sir, he was a
valuable man.
AS we marched to his interment
the sun was just sinking behind the
mountain that rises so abruptly in
front of r; the sky was a fault
less blue, and the air was heavy with
the scent of the blossoms on the
trees in the surrounding fields. An
American and French general led
the procession, following close onto
a band which played the funeral
march and Nearer, My God to
Thee" in so beautiful a way that 1

dry. Then followed the officers of
his squadron and of my own-and
after us an assorted group of French
men famous in the stories of this
war, American officers of high rank,
and two American companies Of in
fantry, separated by a French one.
How slowly we seemed to march
as we went to his grave. passing be-
fore crowds of American nurses in
their clean white uniforms, and a
throng of patients and French civil
lians! He was given a full military
burial; with the salutes of the fir
ing squad, and the two repetitionS
of taps, one answering the other
from the west. General E made
a brief address, one of the finest
talks I have ever heard a man give
while Throughout all the ceremony
French and American planes circled
the field. 1 have never heard taps
blown so beautifully as on that af-
ternoon-even some of the officers
Joined the women there in quietly
dabbing at their eyes. France and
the United States had truly as
sem bled to pay a last tribute to one
of their soldiers. My only prayer
is that somehow through some
means 1 can do as much as he for

west-if in that direction 1 am to

Judge Donald Warner granted a de-

this morning in the additional session
of the Superior Court, to Emma Jane
Price of Norwalk, from George Lewis
Price. The couple were married in
1916 and eight years after their mar
riage Mr.. Price began drinking and
had kept it up ever since. The wife
testified that she had given her hus-
hand every chance but that his bust
ness, which was a prosperous one,
had gone to pieces because of his in
temperate habits.
In the last three or four years he
has been in DR.. Gibbons sanatarium,
DR.. Barnes Sanatarium and in the
Westport Sanatarium for alcoholism,
and is apparently incurable. He was
what is known as a periodic drinker
with Edward. The board gave the
time. After hearing the evidence,
Judge Warner granted the decree
and gave the wife the custody of a
minor child.

Fancy yourself a guest for the first

Of the latter nothing need here be said !;
II is a matter of practice. Each course
Is brought on In a large dish and placed
In the center of the table. The service,
then, is simple; each person serves
himself, and the service is direct.
You will, and so will everybody else
at that table, put your sticks into the
dish in the center, convey therefrom
food to your mouth, insert the sticks
into your mouth as far as you choose
and return TO the center dish COR more.

have made at least two trips to at
least n other persons mouth.
The sanitary consequences are OBJ
viOus. AS the chain is as strong as
Its weakest link, so the health of that
company is as good al that of its sick

Little by little, however, this is be-

influences, the system of individual
dishes and individual service is com
