KAISER SENDS SALVED
REPLY TO RUSSIANS
PROMISES TO CEASE RAIDS
AND WILL HELP THE
SLAV NATION.
(Bv The Associated Press)

Moscow, Wednesday, May Is
The German reply to the protest
against German invasion of Russian
territory as a violation of the Brest-
Litovsk treaty, sent TO Berlin by
NJ. Tchitcherin. the foreign minis
ter, is most conciliatory. 1t says
the German role in Ukraine and
Finland is ended and that there is
no intention to carry out further
aggressions., The note says that
Germany will help Russia and en-
phasizes the wish to maintain Rus
sia'S friendship.
Germany's changed attitude, Nix
olaf Lenine. bclshevik premier, told
the central executive committee to-
night. was due to the international
situation and to unexpected diff
culties in Ukraine. but he cautioned
the committee against undue op-
timism, saying that peace is inse-
cure, as treaties are scraps of pa
per, and the soviet government must
utilize to the utmost the respite OF
fered by the temporary differences
between the capitalistic powers.

The camel meat is being sold in Zwit 'u and

The cames were sold to butcher because of lack
of feed. The larger camels gave from 300 to 400

Consumption of dog meat and horse meat has
increased greatly owing to the wartime scarcity of
meat, and the price also has gone up Dog meat sells

Washington. May 2l.-Evidence
OF plottong between German and

day, reads
"Probably three-quarters OF a

How Estimate Is Based.
General Crowder's estimate was
based on the fact that almost ten
million men registered last year.
This number included all between
p and 81. Statistics collected by
General Crowder's officers show
that a little more than 10 per cert
of these men were p years old.
On that basis, it is estimated ty
draft officials working under Gen
eral Crowder that this years. reg
istration will exceed one million.
"Of this number General Crowd
er estimates three-quarters, or about
100000 will be available for mill
tary service. This makes proper al
lowances for physical defects, eN-
emptions because of dependents
and other bars to military service.
All Must Register.

London, May 2l.-A total alb

reported in all the dispatches to the

have been no untoward incidents
in connection with the Sim Fein

There are no outward incidations

Appearances Are Deceptive.

A correspondent of the Daily Mail
says the calm is sensational and
the people appear unperturbed by
the recent dramatic developments
He added:
But appearances are deceptive
DVblin is not Ireland. The cOnsti-
tufional nationalists one generally
meets here are not representative
of the wild hotbloods who have
given strength to the Sim Fem.
Moreover, the whole of Ireland Is
staggered by the suddenness OF the
government action and the people
hesitate to commit themselves TO
any opinion until the evidence
against these under arrest is pro-
duced."
On the other hand, some corre-
spondents say the country is gen
orally relieved over the arrests. n

.HONORS FROM FREK CHI
Official Confirmation Still Is Lack
ing to Report That German Air
plane Responsible for American S
Death Had Been Shot Down.
(By The Associated Press. }

| y
With the American Army in
France, Monday, May 2O.-Before
the body of Maj. Raoul Lufbery
was placed in a grave, near Ger
tain French village, it lay in state
in room OF a small building.
Around it were hundreds OF
wreaths of flowers sent by Ameri-
can comrades, French aviators who
had known him in the French army
and by French army corps.
At the top of all the wreaths was
little bunch of wild roses and
daisies to which was attached a
piece of paper saying that it came
from Major Lufbery's orderly.
With tears in his eyes, the orderly
came up to the casket and rever-
emily placed the flowers on it.
Official confirmation still is lack
ing to the report that the German
airplane responsible for the death OF
Major Lufbery had been brought
down by 4 French aviator
Funeral Was Impressive.
The funeral OF Major Lufbery was
very impressive. The pallbearers,
three American and three French
aviators. carried the flagdraped col
tin from the little frame building TO
motor car for the trip to the grave.
The procession was led by an Amer
lean band, company of American.
infantry just from the trenches and
company of French infantry.
Following the coffin were 200
American and French officers, in
cluding all OF Major Lufbery's com
panions in the air service, the
American general commanding the
sector northwest of Toul and a
French general commanding an
army corps.
The party drew up at the grave,
and, while the service was being
read, one American aviator after
another plunged down from the sky,
his motor dead until just overhead.
Each threw out punches of red
roses, which floated down on the
casket and bare heads of the Off
GERS and caps OF the soldiers, who
were drawn up at attention.
Tribute by French General.
At the conclusion OF the service
the French general stepped forward
and said
"On behalf of my comrades OF
the French army, | wish to pay re-
spectful tribute to one of the heroes
of the air, who was victorious Is
times: a son of the noble and gem
erous republic which came to our
assistance to save the liberties OF
the world.
Rest peacefully Major Lufbery,
close by the martyrs to our great
cause. Your glorious example will
inspire in US the spirit of sacrifice
till the day when humanity's en-
envy shall be finally vanquished.
Good bye"
Bugler Sounds Taps.
The American officer under whom
Major Lufbery once served as pri-
vate soldier, and the 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
burgler, hidden in a nearby wood,
achoed it. As the sound of the
bugles died away all was silence ex-
cept for the droning OF the ma
chimes of Major Lufbery's COM
rades, patrolling the line high in the
air, and occasionally the dull boom
ing of distant guns.
