Passed Before Major

AIRMEN CIRCLED
OVER THE CORTEGE
And Dropped Flowers in
Memory of Fallen
Comrade

New York, July 1.-THE body Of John
Purroy Mitchell, in flag draped casket
on which rested the cap which he wore
as a major of aviation, was borne
through the streets of New York to-day
while tens of thousands watched in ST.
lent tribute,
New York has seen other military fu-
nerals for heroes of the nation, but none
more impressive than the solemn process
sion which escorted the former mayors
body from city hall to st. Patrick's
Cathedral All along the route people
stood with barred and bowed heads, many
in tears.
The bell in the city hall tolled as the
casket was borne from the rotunda,
where it had lain in state throughout
the night, and placed on an artillery cais-
son drawn by four horses, which con.
veyed it to the cathedral and thence to
Woodlawn cemetery
City Hall park was dense with citizens
and the procession of sailors, police, sol
diers, Red Cross nurses, city, state, ma
tion and representatives of the allies
forming behind the caisson.
Military and city department heads
fell in at appropriate intervals The
Dead March from SAUL" Nearer My
God to Thee" and other hymns were the
music to which the procession marched
as it made its way slowly to the cathe-
dral on Fifth avenue.
An airplane cireled overhead as the
march began, later to be joined by six
Others, which flew back and forth over
the route, dropping flowers. The hum of
their motors carried to the crowds below
a sorowful significance, for it was as
an aviator thar Mitchell died.
Meantime much of the morning city's
business was suspended All exchanges
closed for an hour and many concerns
gave their employees opportunity to
watch the procession or to attend the
services at the cathedral, which were
open to the public,
An anthem of solemn music carried
out from beginning to the end was a
thrilling feature of all the funeral cere-
monies At the start the police glee club
sang "He Who Is Upright" as the casket
was being placed on the gun carriage.
Tolling Of church bells and the ringing
of chimes mingled with the funeral
marches Of the bands along the route of
march, and the great organ of st. Pat
rick's took up the theme when the serv.
ices began.
The aim of the ayiators with their
roses was good. At Thirty.third street
and Fifth avenue, flowers fell directly
in front of the caisson,

Monday.

Paris, July ll.(Hayss) Decision to
accept the resignation of Foreign Secre-
tary Won Kuehlmann was taken Monday
at a conference at German general head
quarters, which was attended by the en-
peror, Chancellor Won Hertling and Ad-
miral Won Hintze, says a Zurich dis
patch to the Matin.

Hintze is considered by French papers to
be the work Of the German general staff,
a challenge to the majority in the Reich
stag and deliberate insult to southern
Germany.
L'Homme Libre says the military
party is stronger in Germany than the
diplomats and in overthrowing Won
Kuehlmann the militarists show plainly
that they want war to the end, "and
we must not forget that"
