Ten Thousand In Cortege.
II is estimated that 10000 persons or
more will form this cortege to escort the
body to the cathedral. There will be
seats for 400 persons in the cathedral
but admission will be by card. as other
wise efforts would be made by three
times that number to enter the doors OF
st. Patricks Places have been re-
served for officers Of the military forces
of the Allies, including Gems. White and
Bridges of the British army, officers or
the Chasseurs d Alpins and OF the ltal-
ian army. and 1t Is probable that repre-
| sentatlves of the military forces OF the
! Allies will appear, with diplomatic rep
resentatives. in the funeral procession.
1t is probable that the Anal ceremony
will be held at Woodlawn Cemetery at
p. NJ, at which the United States Army
will pay the last respects by sounding
| taps and firing three volleys over the
grave.
