 Several thousand Salyationists, the men and women composing the AS d. visions of the army from the London provinces, carrying their banners of blood and fire" and keeping step to well known Salyationist tunes play ed by 40 bands. marched over the five miles from the army headquarters in Queen Victoria street to the burial ground through muddy streets, after being drenched by downpour of rain
 lt was more in the nature of a tri- umphal progress than .an occasion ol mourning. In the same streets only q few years ago not few of those who marched today had been mobbeC and jeered. No one could estimate the numbers who had assembled ev- anywhere, gathered to witness the passing Of the funeral Of the late com mander in chief. All the streets and windows along the march were crowd ed and even housetops were iammel cd fh all hIn route dropped rdinsoaked at half mast and many of the business houses were closed.
 The multitude in and about the cem etery numbered not less than 50,000 The new commander, Bramwell Booth, himself pronounced a long eulogy and read the committal service when his fathers body was lowered into the grave. As Bramwel Booth was ap- preaching the grave, Herbert Booth, dressed in civilian clothes stepped forward and kissed the new general on the cheek.
 The mayor of Stoke-Newington and the mayor of Hackney in their robes of office were seated on the platform with the Booth family. Mrs. Gather inc Booth Clibborn, the late generals eldest daughter, who for years had been estranged from the army, witt, her husband and their l2 children, sat among the mourners.
 Miss Eva Booth, commander of the army in the United states, who ar rived in London just in time to walk behind her fathers coffin, broke down with grief and fatigue. Mrs. Booth Hellberg begged the audience to excuse her sister from speaking but the army was anxious to near the American leader and she came for ward. Bramwell Booth and Mrs He'll berg supporting her, Miss Booth said ::
 "I am worn out with travel and with grief, but I must deliver my message from the army across the water. My beloved father never lost the host which he established there so long ago and we feel his loss as keenly as the English corps. He looked forward with so much joy to the visit which he had planned to make to America this year But God is with us and the work will go on.
 With the exclamation 'Oh, my be loved father" Miss Booth broke down and was assisted to her seat.
 Worn out by the march, many Sal vationists were ready to drop when they reached the cemetery. While tho ceremonies we're going Dn talnt' ing soldiers fell on all sides. White uniformed nurses of the army amDu- lance corps treated more than nun dred cases. Some of the sufferers were in a serious condition and one was removed from among the crowd on the funeral ear.
