The arrival of the funeral train at
Windsor was announced by the firing
of minute guns. The roadway from
the railroad station to ST. George s
chapel was lined with soldiers, who

king passed on its gun carriage. With
solemn dirges the procession moved w
the road, accompanied and followed
by the officials whose hereditary and
personal right it is to attend at the
very last hoaors to be paid to de-
ceased British sovereign. There were
the kings at arms, the heralds and the
pursuivants, the lords in waiting the

THEODORE ROOSEVELT, SPECIAL AMBAs
sADoR REPRESENTING THE UNITE1
STATES.
From Westminster hall, where the
body of the sovereign had lain in state
three days, to Paddington station. and
thence through the pleasant Middlesex
country to Windsor, the route of the
funeral procession passed through
rows of sOberly clad Englishmen, at
testing by their solemn demeanor the
genuine sorrow they felt for the final
passing of their king. 1t is a day of
official mourning. to be sure, formally
ordered by the dignitaries of the
realm, but it is also a day of genuine,
heartfelt sorrow among the populace
In that respect it resembles more the
February day of nine years ago when
the last scene in the long drama of the
life of Victoria the good was acted
than those earlier days, of unhappy
memory for England, when the people
reioiced almost openly over the death
Of some particular scapegrace royal
ty. As Victoria was mourned, so is
her son. The twenty miles from Lon
don to Windsor seemed to give forth
an almost audible sigh as the train
conveying Edwards body moved slow
ly to its destination
Services Throughout the Kinrdom
Throughout the kingdom today SOL
emn requiem services were held for
the king. Not alone in the established
church, of which he was the titulal
head, but in the Roman Catholic sane
tuaries and in the Jewish synagogues
as well as In the churches of all shades
of Protestant belief, crowds of wor-
shippers paid religious respect to the
sovereign's memory. II was the touch
ing final tribute of the nation to the
ruler who numbered Jew and Gentle
Catholic and Protestant, among his
personal friends. In virtually every
church in the United Kingdom the
services were held. The mourning OF
the nation is manifest not alone in the
bands Of Grape that drape the sleeves
OF the people and in the solemn dra-
perry of their houses, but also in thei,
hearts.
The funeral procession in London
was imposing and impressive in its
size and solemnity. No less than sew
en- ruling monarchs, besides Kline
George, followed the bier of Britain's
king, and other men. great, but un-
crowned, shared with them the re-

Worcester, Mass. May 20.-After
