TO arrive at Moscow today to attend the

The reason given for holding the f,r-

not be renovated by Thursday. the day
set for the funeral
The real cause, however the Petit
Sarisien says. Is that custom requires
that the Emperor and the members of
the imperial family shall follow the body
from the time OF its arrival till IL is laid

lance that world have to be traversed
In that case would be SO great that the
