religious societies.
Bands OF music, sidearms, Sticks ana
banners were also prohibited. Inc
priests promised that all this should be

hand agreed to keep all troops away
from the funerals. Somebody stole

Six Of the latter stood in front OF the
church during the ceremonies Wlthln'

ly dispatched a staff officer and detall
OF men to the cemetery, but when they

The general said he would demand

There are no doubts that fears are
entertained that before the end Of the
