 It also was sworn that Berlin main tained a Berlin Indian committee" financed partly by the Oriental junta and Hindus in the United States. The German consulate in San Francisco was supposed to have received hun dreds of thousands of dollars from Berlin for the conspirators, in addi. tton to what Chakravarty got.
 The defense offered was a denial general and specific, coupled with the accusation that the government was acting for Great Britain, and not ill good faith. As to the Maverick ex- pedition, the defense maintained that the vessel was intended for the oil trade among the South sea islands. The Iarsen's arms were said to be for Mexican revolutionists. The ac tivities of the Oriental junta were ad- mitted as were most of the allega- tions concerning the activities of the Ghadr party in this country, but were held not to constitute a breach of neutrality. The alleged military as pect of the plots was denied.

The so-called Hindu conspiracy case had the world for it's stage. It brought to light a movement which admittedly was active simultaneously in many world capitals to overthrow British rule in the Punjab, and to extend rev olutionary control until it should in- clude every principality in the vast Indian empire. The government of the United States acted because it was alleged that American soil was tesfz1ss slsssa sgsasssssss assaRsss dition against friendly power, and this was the specific charge against the defendants, of whom there were more than thirty. The case was more an airing of several separate conspira- cies than a detailing of one specific plot.
 The prosecution brought in the names of many noted men as princi- pals, agents or confdants in these al legged conspiracies. Count Won Bern storff, former German ambassador to

French soldiers paused this afternoon
| in the game of war, wherever possible,
to pay homage to Major RaOul Lufberry
the great American ace, who was killed
lin an air fight Sunday morning.
The funeral services were held in a
hospital within the sound Of the big
guns. French and American companies
stood at attention while an American
band played. France and American avia-
tors were present in large numbers A
French general and an American general
also paid tribute to the fallen aviator,
The coffin, drapcd with an Americaa
flag, was carried by four French avia-
tors to a tiny, grassy cemetery behind
the hospital. Infantry companies were
lined up on one side of the road while
officers and aviatOrs were drawn up On
the other.
A group of American aviators, hover
ing above tie grave, showered the cot
fin with flowers as the chaplain com.
pletcd the rites.
During the services report was re-
eeived from an American observer in
the front lines that German plah- mad

comrades.

Later it was reported that the Ger
man biplane responsible for Lufbergy's
death was brought down by q French
aviator. This has not been officially es-
tabished.
The bochc machine which caused Luz
berry s death came directly for the Am
eriean aviation field yesterday and ae-
ted in an unusual manner. American
aviators believe it was designed for a
special mission, it being the only Ger
man plane in sight at the time. 1t struck
right to the American planes behind
the American lines, running only after
Lufberry $ comrades had emptied over
thousand machine gun bullets into 1T.
Was 10 o'clock yesterday morning,
when Lufberry and two other American
airmen responded to an "alerte" F." north
of Tohl and spotted the lone boche bl'
plane. Lufberry attacked it at an alti-
tude of 1000 meters, his comrades ~
lowing closely.
Lufberry and the enemy machine op-
tined fire simultaneously. The majors
machine suddenly overturned and fell
like plummet, its petrol tank spohtirg
flames. When about half way to the
ground Lufberry's IS body shot out Of his
seat, falling some distance from where
the wrecked machine struck.
The famous American was dead when
a number of French peasants reached
him. His body was removed from the
little garden in which it had 1allen to
a house nearby, where II was covered
with flag and wreaths Of flowers.
During the funeral today the services
were filmed. The pictures, it is under
stood, will be exhibited in America.
