COMRADES RAIN ROSES ON DEAD FLYER'S COFFIN Lufbery's Orderly in Tears; Simple Tribute of Wild Roses His Offering With die American Army in 1 France. Monday. May 20.—Before the body of Major Raoul Lufbery j was placed in a grave near a certain ! French village, it lay in state in a ; room of a small frame building. 1 Around it were hundreds of wreaths ' of flowers sent by American ,'om rades, French aviators who had : known him in the French army and | by French army corps. Atop all the handsome wreaths ' was a little bunch of wild roses and j daisies to which was attached a piece ! of paper sayingp that it came from | Major Lufbery's orderly and mtn j tioning many kindnesses. With tears ' in his eyes the orderly came up to i the casket and reverently placed the . flowers on it. ' j Official confirmation is still lack- I ing to the report that the German ' j airplane responsible for the death of ■ j Major Lufbery had been brought I down by a French aviator. Comrades Follow Remains ! The funeral of Major Lufbery was 'most impressive. The pallbearers. ■ •three American and three French ■ I aviators, carried the flag-drapped I coffin from the little frame building to a motor car for the trip to the , grave. The procession was led by an : American band. a company of American infantry just from the i i trenches and a company of French infantry. Following the coffin were 200 American and French officers, including all of Major Lufbery's i companions 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 an other planed down from the sky. his j motor shut off. until he was just overhead. Each threw out great bunches of red roses which floated | down on the coffin and the bared heads of the officers and caps of the soldiers. ho were drawn up at at tention. France Applauds Hero At the conclusion of the services (the French general stepped forward 'and said: "On behalf of my comrades of the French Army. I wish to pay re spectful fraternal tribute to one of the heroes of the air, who was vic torious eighteen times: a son of the noble and generous republic which j came to our assistance to save the j liberties of the world. "Rest peacefully, Major Lufbery. ' close by the martyrs to our great s cause. Your glorious example will J inspire In us the spirit of sacrifice, itill the day when humanity's enemy i shall be finally vanquished. Good : by." j The American general under whom Major Lufbery once served as a private soldier, and the chief of the aerial service, also paid homage 'to the dead aviator. The firing squad I fired three times across the grave, a bugler sounded taps and another j bugler, hidden in a nearby wood, 'echoed it. As the sound of the bugles died away all was silence ex cept for the droning of the machines of Major Lufbery's comrades, pa i I trolling the line high in the air. and ! occasionaaly the dull booming of I : distant guns.

MARCH WILL BE MADE RANKING ARMY OFFICER Secretary Baker Recommends!, Full Generalship For Kaston Man Washington, May IL—Secretary of i ! War Baker announced yesterday that Major General Peyton C. March, act- 1 ing chief of staff, has been recom mended to the President for rank of general and the title of chief of Jtaff. 1 | General March's nomination will go ( to the Senate this week and imme- , diate confirmation is expected. ( General March, whose home wasi j at Easton, Pa., is the seventh olli-[ ! cer to reach the highest rank in the I , ; Army. With his new rank he will, | i outrank General John J. Pershing,! ! as the office of chief of staff carries! , the grade of highest officer. The!, ; chief of staff is the military assistant I j to the Secretary of War and second | : in authority to the civilian chief of j , ; the military establishment, i In order to give General March | the full title of i hief of staff and per- |. ' mit General Tasker H. Bliss, who re-j , tained that title after his retirement |and his detail as permanent military I representative of the United States at the Supreme War Council at Vcr-! 1 sallies. General Bliss is to bo made a I brevet general. To do this it was ' necessary for Secretary Baker to rec- I | ommend to the President that Gen-1 era I Bliss be made a brevet general for "distinguished service." Although | such honors usually are awarded of-' ! tii ers for service in action, or as \ ! usually expressed, "in the face of the, enemy." the splendid work of Gen j eral Bliss in France convinced Sec- j ! retary Baker that the Senate would; ! not hesitate to confirm him. I There have been seven generals in j the American Army. Pennsylvania j and Ohio each have had two of their! ; native sons attain to the high honor. I ■ George Washington, the first general, ' was a Virginian. General U. S. Grant,; j the second general, was born in Ohio. ] | General Sherman, a native of Ohio, j | and General Sheridan, who was born j ; in New York, were the officers of the, Civil War to reach the high rank, j General Pershing is a Missourian and j i General March is a Pennsylvanian. j COUNCILMEN AND MAYOR DISAGREE [Continued front First Page.] ■J a bridge fund created in I#ls, to pay | for repairs to the State street and ! Paxton street bridges. Plan Not Feasible Reporting on possible improxe j ments in handling traffic on the Mul berry street bridge to prevent tcci -1 dents. J. E. Greiner, consulting en gineer. of Baltimore, says a curbing one or two feet In height between the yldewalk anil roadway Is no more a necessity than i>t similar places on public highways. He does recommend a buttress curb about 110 feet in length at the edge of the sidewalk on the north side of the bridge .lust opposite the Cameron street approach where it connects with the main bridge. He also urges the employment of' addi tional traffic officers on the bridge and the replacing of nil the concrete i posts which are not reinforced with guards which are. Commissioner \V. H. Lynch, super intendent of the city highway depart ment. received the report late yes terday but will not submit it to Coun cil until next week when copies will be furnished each member. His traffic recommendations follow in brief: Enforcing a 12-mile an hour speed limit, prohibiting vehicles from" passing at west approach and Cam eron street connection, and giving right of way to all traffic to and from Cameron street ramp, these re strictions to be enforced by a tnff tic officer. Rounding of curve at Fourth and Chestnut streets. Commisioner Lynch said this may be completed before fall.

"M"EVER before has it been so important • that buildings be kept in good condi tion. A dollar spent today for needed repairs may save many dollars in the future. The price of lumber has not yet advanced greatly in price—not nearly as much as other material. After the war there will be enormous de mand for building material and prices will further advance.

In his study of traffic Mr. Greinei states the average speed over th bridge is front 20 to 25 miles aq | hour, and that at no time is sutflcienl to congest the roadway. He calls at< tention to the low curb, which il about 11-2 Inches lower than along city streets, but reports that to in crease the height to six inches would not make a sufficient guard to pre vent vehicles from going over it n*<i running on the sidewalk, i As other members of Council have had no time to study the recommen dations by Mr. Greiner they would not discuss any of them. It is likely definite action will be taken nexl Tuesday.
