In the Air
TRIBUTES TO WARNEFORD. United Pa«a« Asbooutton Paris, June 21. There was a touching demonstration before the bodies of Warneford and Needham. Crowds defiled past, and there were many wreaths, including a representation of an aeroplane, inscribed: “Honored by the King, admired by - the Empire, and mourned by all.” General Gallieni sent wreaths on behalf of Paris. Warneford, at the time of the accident, was wearing the Legion of Honor, and the cross deeply penetrated his chest. Scutari, June 21. In Berlin a topic of absorbing interest is the construction of the monoplane with which Warneford destroyed a Zeppelin. Exports opine it is highly efficient owing to its quickness of ascending, and the construction facilitates observation downwards on both sides.
