Patton
Continued from Page One

German bulge wound through
the hills and forest from Lux
embourg city again today.
Patton's body arrived on a
special train from Heidelberg
before dawn. A second special
train followed, bringing Mrs.
Patton and the 10 Generals and
two Colonels who acted as pail
bearers.
The picturesque old city al
ready was bedecked with flags
spread from windows, hanging
at half staff from the flagpoles,
dropping In the rain.
Promptly at OILS a. m5the
doors of the funeral car were
opened. and ten soldiers lifted
the casket onto the platform.
They were all privates of the
Third Army. One was Negro.
They passed through the station
and placed the casket on a half
track.
Mrs. Patton and her brother
followed. She looked tired and
was pale. She walked behind
the casket with her face tilted
upward. Her chin was firm. She
kept her eyes on the soldiers.
EVNAV CAVVITE
When the cortege was formed
in the square fronting the sta
ton, the clear swelling strains OF
the Star Spangled Banner rang
out in the silence. An artillery
salute doomed somewhere in
the gloomy distance. The COL
umn moved on.
It was a grey-black day. The
many flags. the Stars and Stripes
and the brilliant colors OF the
emblems of American armies
and regiments were like living
flames in the haze.
American motorcycle police
led the procession. They were
followed by units of the United
States Second and 42nd Cavalry
Souadrons, a French squadron
and then some American caval-
nv from Metz, all mechanized
and armored - Patton's type OF
an army.
The cortege climbed a long
hill and entered a pine forest.
The trees were dripping rain.
The fog crept low across the
hilltops.
At the top Of the hill, the half
tracks turned right through
white painted gate. Spread be-
low them was a gentle slope
sweeping upward from a tiny
valley fringed with thick black
woods. The lawn was like
green Jewel on which white and
cleaning crosses marking graves
Of Patton's Third Army troops
stood row on row.
At the end of one row OF
crosses a canopy had been erect
ed. Flowers were banked hign
on three sides. The cards and in
scriptions were a roll call OF
famous names and places, tell
ing the story of a great soldier.
Governments h d honored
him. Cities in all parts OF Eu-
rope had sent tributes to "Our
Honorary Citizen" His battle
field victories were recalled in
the names of some Of the trib-
utes - Celia, Avranches and
Metz.
