The remains of 13 men ami the
commander of the German airship
destroyed near London on Sunday
morning "ere buried on Wednesday
afternoon (September (») in Potters
Bar cemetery with every reverence.
The only distinctive military mark of,
honour apart from the presence of un-1
Pointed men was the sounding of the I
“Last Post."
A great many people watched the
funeral—chiefly women. The road
leading to the cemetery was over a
mile filled with people.
One woman alone of many thou
sands broke the orderliness of the
funeral. Just near the cemetery
gates as the Air Service lorry con
taining the bodies passed her she
threw an egg which struck the black
cloth covering one of the coffins and
broke. When seised by a special
constable she shouted. “Its a disgrace
to Great Britain." People near
enough to hear her shouted back.
“And so are you." A non-commis
sioned officer of the II. I*'. C. climbed
on to the lorry and quietly cleaned up
the mess on the coffin with his pocket
handkerchief.
Six officers of the Royal Flying
Corps, with bared heaiis. carried on
their shoulders from the motor-lorry
to the graveside the coffin containing
the Zeppelin commander. Among
them were several who wore military
decorations for deeds of bravery
against German flying men.
Fach of the other coffins was car
ried by four men of the Flying Corps.
The commanders body was placed
in a separate grave and his coffin
alone bore any inscription. This was.
in plain black letters on a brass plate j
and read: “An unknown German
officer killed while commanding Zep
pelin 1. 21. 3rd September. IfflG.
The coffins of the crew were buried
in one large grave. Following the
coffin bearers along the cemetery path
were six more officers of tin K. F. C.
and about fifty men. G
A sjHvial form of burial service
was used. Following the usual pas
sage. "Man born of woman hath but
a short time to live** came these
words:
“For as much as it hath pleased Al
mighty God to take ointo Himself the
m)uI of this unknown German officer
here departed (the usual words are
“this our brother” or “this our
sister”) we therefore commit his body
to the ground. Karth to earth, ashes
to ashes; dust to dust-”
B\ the side of the large grave con
taining members of the Zeppelin crew
the words “this unknown German of
ficer” were changed to “these un
known German airmen.”
After these words of “commital”
came a special prayer, which was read
both at the commander's grave and
again at his crew’s grave with the
necessary alteration: “Almighty
God. Father of all men (ami the
clergyman laid perceptible emphasis
on the word “all”), we beseech Thee
to have mercy upon the soul of this
man whose mortal hody we have just
laid to rest, ami to grant him, if it
be Thy will, forgiveness of his sins.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Tlu “Last Lost” was then sounded
by two military buglers.” — London

I wo days ago a gentleman living
’“somewhere in Seward” invited a
gentleman friend to visit him and the
invitation was accepted. All went
well for a time until the visitor, in
deshabille, rather astonished his host
by jumping out through the window.
This was interesting and became more
so when the visitor jumped through
the window into the house again. A
few moments later the guest jumped
out again and again jumped back in.
Ity this time the host’s hair began to
sit up and take notice. Several times
the partaker of his hospitality re-1
prated the performance and only var
ied it at times by jumping on the bed
and oir again. Human nature could
stand no more and mine host was
soon out on Broadway looking for an
other (iiiest whose first name is Bob.
That the hospitable one’s nerves were
somewhat shaken is made apparent by |
the fact that he looked around for the
Chief while he muttered some phrases
in which the word “nutty” was most
conspicuous. Mr. Guest was found
and the acrobatic guest is now in the
municipal bastile.
