CITY Is QUIET
The city is again assuming COM
paratively normal aspect. Except for
he appearances of mourning emblems
along the streets, the fiuttering of flags
at half mast and the drawn blinds at
the leading club houses and In the gov
eminent Offices, a stranger visiting Lon
don today would find little outward evil
dence of the momentous OCCURRENCES
which have attracted the attention of
the world within the last three days.
Chief attention today was conferred in
the first meeting of the cabinet since
the return of Premier Asquith, following
the death of King Edward
Contrary to the original intention
that the body of King Edward should
be privately removed from Buckingham
palace to Westminster hall next Tues
day, it has now been decided that the
removal shall be accompanied with con-
siderable ceremony ssad the cortege will
be an imposing military spectacle.
The house of commons will assemble
in the morning and repair in a body to
Westminster hall to receive the body.
Following the three days during which
the body will lie in state, it is possible
that instead of the funeral procession
proceeding direct to Paddington station,
the casket will be borne to Westminster
abbey for the reading there of the first
part of the burial service. According
to this plan, the service would be COM
pleted later in the day at Windsor
castle.
All the churches throughout the
United Kingdom are arranging to hold
memorial services on the day of the
state funeral.
