Saul" and Chopin's Funeral March. -
1t is doubtful if so many people were
ever before seen in London. At the
Mall, in st. James street and at Hyde
park the throng almost overwhelmed
the procession. The police and soldiers
had to fight to prevent the lines being
swept away by the crush. Many bro
ken limbs and other injuries were re-
ceived. Hundreds of persons tainted.
The order of precedence of sovereigns
in the procession was governed by kim
ship The special ENJOYS of the United
States and France occupied the eighth
carriage, and although former Presi-
dent Roosevelt was inconspicuous in
the procession, King George gave him
marked attention at the lunch in Wind
sor castle after the funeral, seating
him with eight other guests at his own
table The German emperor sat with
the queen mother and Queen Mary.
What seemed to impress Mr.. Roose-
welt was the demeanor of the people,
the solemn dignity of the ceremony
From Paddngton station the royal
train carried the coffin and mourners
to Windsor, while special trains We're
filled with officials and foreign repre-
sentatives.
Bluejackets dragged the gun carriage
through a line of purple to st. Georges
chapel, and there simple services were
conducted by the archbishops of Can
terbury and York, assisted by other
prelates. King George, with Alexan-
dra on his arm, walked up the nave
behind the coffin with the German en-
peror and Queen Mary following.

Leaving the district of oficialdom,
the cortege passed through the horse
guards parade and thence along the
Mall. The embassies and private resi-
dences, including those of several
Americans on Carlton House terrace,
overlooking the Mall, were heavily
draped with mourning.
From the Mall, the procession passed
Marlborough house, emerging in ST
James street, proceeding to Piccadilly
and along that thoroughfare to Hyde
Park corner, where it entered the park
and passed along the popular drive to
Marble arch.
Emerging from the park, the pro
cession followed Edgeware road to Ok
ford and Cambridge terraces and
turned up those wide thoroughfares,
on either side of which, throughout
their length of half mile, were un-
broken stretches of temporarily erect
ed stands filled to their capacity with
black-garbed humanity.
BY arrangement between the West
minister city council and Paddington
borough council the official signs Of

were crowded.
