COLONEL C. M. GIBBON. WARTIME WORK IN NEW ZEALAND. (United Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 1.15 p.m.) LONDON, November 30. Colonel Charles Monk Gibbon, late of the Royal Irish Fusiliers, who was Chief of the General Staff in New Zealand during the war, is dead, aged 60. Colonel J. L. Sleeman, who succeeded Colonel Gibbon in New Zealand', pays a, tribute to him in “The Times” as one who sacrificed his chance of active service in wartime in order to train those required to swell the small'army into a large one. The heavy losses sustained by the New >.Zealand Division could never have been made good but for the efforts of those like Colonel Gibbon, who performed an uncongenial task with, splendid courage and astounding energy: - • FAMOUS FRENCH AIRWOMAN. PARIS, Nov. 29. Mademoiselle Suzanne Deutsche de la Neurthe, the famous airwoman, after whom the Deutsche de la Neurthe prize'was named, is dead.
