Twenty Thousand Bow,
Then Sing Onward,
Christian Soldiers"

Taps were sounded In honor Of tx.
OF X" at the Allied Bazaar last night,
and the whole throng of jewellers,
shouting and laughing at one minute
to nine, changed instantly into a pro-
cession Of mourners. Motor cars were
stopped at the entrance, and women in
evening clothes shivered and bowed
their heads, side by side with the
humblest of Bri:ain's friends on the
sidewalk.
Inside, salesgirls, with frothy arm
fuls of chiffon tea gowns, clever misses
trying to sell automobiles and frenzied
chairmen of booths seeking to find
workers, all stopped when the bugle
sounded. Twenty thousand faces were
turned, and twenty thousand heads
were bowed toward the front of the
Grand Central Palace, where the Rev.
DR.. Manning, rector of Trinity Church,
read short prayer in memory of the
great war lord. Then the orchestra
played England's hymn, The Land OF
Hope and Glory"
The New York crowd were so i'm
pressed by the ceremony that they
forgot to hide their emotions, and
when the tune changed to Onward
Christian Soldiers" everyone took up
the refrain. Then was seen the an1az-
ing spectacle of huge, pleasure seek
ing crowd, going their foolish ways
after laces and sofa cushions and SODA
water, singing, as they went.
Like a mighty army moves the
church of God"
