Pallbearers Are Three Amer.
leans and Three French
Aviators.

With the American Army in France,
Monday, May 2o.-(By the Associ-
ated Press.)-Before the body Of
Major Raoul Lufbery was placed in a
grave near q certain French village,
It lay in state in a room Of a small
frame building. Around it were hun
dreds Of wreaths of flowers sent by
American comrades, French aviators
who had known him in the. French
army, and by French army corps.
Atop all the handsome wreaths wa
a little bunch Of wild roses and daisies
to which was attached a piece Of
paper saying that it came from Major
Lufbery's orderly and mentioning
many k~indnesses. With tears in his
eyes the orderly came up to the
casket and reverently placed the dow-
ers on it.
ofhcial confirmation is still lacking
to the report that the German air.
plane responsible for the death of
Major Lufbery had been brought
down by q French aviator.
The funeral Of Major Lufbery was
very impressive. The pail bearers.
three American and three French ayt-
ators. carried the flag draped coffin
from the little frame building to q
motor car for the trip to the grave.
The procession was led by an Ameri-
can band. q company Of American in
fantry Just from the trenches and a
company Of French infantry. Fol-
lowing the CONN were 200 American
and French omcers, including all Of
Major Lufbery's2 companions in, the
amir service, the American general
commanding the sector northwest Of
Toul and a French general command
ing an army corps.
The party drew up at the grave and
while the service "a being read one
American aviator after another
planed down from the sky, his motor
shut of until he was just overhead.
Each threw out great punches Of red
roses which 1oated down on the cof-
fin and on the barred heads of the
offcers 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 by the martyrs to our great
cause. Your glorious example viii

, American general, under whom
Major Lufbery. once served as q priv

dead aviator. The firing squad fired
three times across the grave, a bugler

AMERICAN LABOR UNTAINTED
Leaders of T.

Leaders of the French Socialist party during the war
have nourished the foolish and dangerous belief that.
through contact with the socialistic parties in Germany
and Austria, they would sooner or later. be able to bring
about a peace acceptable to France and to her allies.
says the Christian Science Monitor. This they have fond
ly and falliciously imagined could and would be achieved
by convincing the German Socialists that Germany's vel.
fare lay in the overthrow Of Prussian militarism.
so infatuated have they been with their scheme that
trustworthy were the Socialists of Germany and Austria
at the only time in many years when their united and
determined opposition to Prussian militarism could have
been in any degree effective. Few Of the German So
cialist multitude that once talked loudly Of international
brotherhood were heard to protest, even mildly, in the
fate summe Of 1914. when Belgium and France we're
wantonly invaded and ~ruthlessly outraged and plundered
Most Of that multitude have since performed whatever
tascks Prussian militarism has assigned to them, regard
less of whether the performance involved barbarities
toward the capitalistic or toward the proletariat class in
the neighboring nations, There has since been no disunc-
ton between the German Socialist and any other kind of
German in arms, so far as the civilized world has baen
able to see.
Nevertheless, the French official Socialists have not.
it appears. been convinced that socialism is but a thin
veneer for German treachery. They have twice since the
war began invited rebuffs from British labor in their ef-
forts to induce the latter to give recognition to socialism
of the German stripe. Even the most radical among rep
resentatives Of labor in the United Kingdom refuse abso-
lutely to have any relations whatever, near or remote.

EXCITEMENT IS
LACKING IN
IRISH TROUBLE
Some Correspondents Say
Country is Relieved
Over Arrests.

London, May 21.-A total absence
OF excitement in Dublin is reported in
all the dispatches to the morning
newspapers from the Irish capital and
as far as is known there have beer
no untoward incidents in connection
with the Sim Fein arrests anywhere
in the country. There are no outward
indications that anything has hap.
pened. Is happening or is about to
happen outside 1reland's ordinary
daily routine.
A correspondent of the Daily Mail
says the calm is sensational and the
people appear unperturbed by the re-
cent dramatic developments. He adds:
But appearances are deceptive,
Dublin is not Ireland. The constitu-
tional nationalists one generally meets
here are not representative of the wild
hotbloods who have given strength to
the Sim Fem. Moreover, the whole
country evidently is staggered by the
audiences of the governments action
and the people hesitate to commit
themselves to any opinion until the
evidence against those under arrest is
produced"
On the other hand some correspond.
ents say the. country is generally re.
iieved over the arrests. Meanwhile
everyone is awaiting production Of the
proof OF a German plot and in many
quarters it is believed there ought no,
to be any delay in making it public

Letters of All Kinds of Soldiers

THIS war has brought about a re-
l. naissancc in letter writing Every
one writes more letters and better ones,
but the best of all are those written by
the soldiers to their mothers, sisters, wives
and sweethearts; and of all collections of
soldiers letters this in which those of
every nationality and walk in life have
been brought together under the heading
"The Good Solder" is undoubtedly the
finest.
There isn't any sort of boy who is not
represented here. Many of them we have
already become acquainted with through
their writings, Alan Seeger, for instance,
from whose exquisite letter written to his
mother a month before he was killed the
title of "The Good Soldier is taken.
His words are among the most famous
of any time: Death is nothing terrible
after all. 1t may mean something more
wonderful than life; it cannot possibly
mean anything worse to the good sol
der"
There are letters from Rupert Brooke,
Coningsby Dawson, Donald Hankey and
others with names as familiar, and some
from soldiers whose names are not even
given, but whose words We cannot forget.
One ANONYMOUS Frenchman writes:
This is the real sacrifice: to renounee
the hope of being the torch bearer. 10
a child in game it is fine thing to
carry the flag, but for a man 1t is enough
to know that the flag will be carried"
Some idea as to the number Of collec-
tions Of soldiers letters that have been
made may be had from the fact that there
are in this volume over sixty letters, with
a few exceptions from the men them
selves, selected from individual collec-
lions previously published The most I'M
portant event of the day at the front Is
food and after that the mail, and we are
abashed that our poor attempts at letters
to the good soldiers should mean to
them very much the same thing as do
their thrillingly beautiful and often in
spired words to us.
N. p. Dawson has said very truly IN
his introduction, "the enemy may ca
tend its empire over the world, sweep 1t
from sea to sea, but the spirit of these
letters cannot be defeated. The dead
will rise again" And he has used Kip
ling's rare lines in dedication:
"Whither they mirthfully FASTENED as
jostling for honor,
mot since her birth has our earth seen
such worth loosed upon her"
As the flags in our camps are at half
mast for soldiers who die of disease but
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-08-11

ny nigh IN spite or their numbers 1alien
in battle, so this same spirit is expressed
in the letter of an Italian sailor to his
mother when he says: But thou must
not weep, because one weeps over the
tomb of son who dies, not over a SOL
der who falls in the sacred battle This
Is their prayer-that We shall see only
the glory and their own complete content
ment behind the sacrifice. One does not
wonder that they resent being pitied, and
who are VIC that we should dare it
Theirs is great and holy JOY in warning
against war, against ''thOse who would
kill the light" EMO Valentino, the son
of Count Valentino of Perugia, wrote to
his aunt: II deserve no credit for what
/ have done. 1t is the joy of my soul
that l have translated into acts
In new volume of the Oxford Die
tionary the word 'Strafe" (straf) V.
slang. From the Ger. phrase Colt strafe
England, God punish England), appears
into constant use is shown in letter from
a German Lieutenant written from the
front to his family, having as its final re-
quest:
"And you dear ones at home when you
are sitting at your table don't say Prosit'
when you drink; no, do like US, say God
punish England and answer, May He
punish her!'
And vet he is the best sort of good
soldier" from a Hunnish standpoint.
This and one other are the only letters
from Germans.
Very often these boys have written fare
well letters unwittingly and it is in them
that we feel most the divine inspiration.
Many of them entered the war, like Alan
Seeger, with the lightest of light hearts
and expected to return, and yet their
words breathe readiness for death and
a concern through all for those they
love that they may not suffer too much.
One writes: "These are the days when
mothers should be proud as Spartan
Mothers" but however proud they be,
there will remain the inexpressible lone
illness to which Wilfred Wilson Gibson
has given such beautiful expression in
The Lament, which is quoted at the close
of the volume:
1--WE who are left, how shall we look
again
Happily on the sun, or feel the rain,
Without remembering how they who went
Ungrudgingly, and spent
Their all for us, loved too the sun and
rains"
