HUNDRED WEARING VICTORIA CROSS

London, Nov. 11-Great Britain today impressive1y honored her war heroes by according a field marshaPs funeral to an unknown British war rior, who was buried in Westminis- ter Abbey, and unvei1ing a permanent centoaph in Whitehall to tthe glor- ious dead.'
 Aside from members of the Royal family which included three queens Queen Mary, Qneen Mother Alex andra and Queen Maud of Norway and a few officials, the only witnesses to either ceremony were persons who lost relatives in the great war
 A Big Ben' the great clock in the tower of the Parliament building be- King George, facing the sixteenth century coffin of the unknown soldier. which was resting a gun carriage drew a cord that released the union jack draped above the cenotpah and after the last stroke of the hour thousands of people who crowded Whitehall as far one could see in either direction, remained absolutely silten for two minutes. This silence was broken by a choir softly begin ming the hymn t'Oh God, Our Help in Ages Past" which was followed by the Lords Prayer, recited by the sounded '"The Last Post and with it's escort of troops and a band, the gun carriage then moved toward the Alp bey, with King George, as chief
 
 panied by the Royal Princess.
 During the brief service in the nave of the Abbey the King stood at the foot of the grave, the Royal ladies on either side. Of all the witnesses that packed Whitehall or crowded the Abbey, a little band of approxi- nately 100 women in the Abbey re- ceived the most reverent attention. They had been selected for the seats of honor because each had lost her husband and all her sons. Every woman in England so bereft, who ap- piled for a place got it.
 After the 100 had been seated, the next to be considered were those mothers who lost their only sons, or who lost their husband only. who los their husband only. A girl who wrote she had lost nine brothers killed or missing, was given ticket as also was a 12 year old boy who wrote:
 Js'The man in the coffin might be my daddy"
 The body of the unknown soldier arrived here last night after 1t had been thonored by Marshal Foch and other military officials in France from the time it was exhumed until the es- cort of French. destroyers turned for home after seeing the Engilsh de- stroyer Verdun, which bore the body safely into the harbor of Dover.

It Fay last night in a room especially set apart and fitted | for it in Victoria Station, and guard of honor remained there until morn ing.
 The immediate guard which escort ed the body on it's trip through the crowded and silent streets from the station to Whitehall was composed of 100 men of all services who won the 1 Victoria Cross.

Commission
 Government
 Comes Back
McAneny's Appeal for Abo- lition of Party Label On Municipal Politics Falls On Willing Ears Com
 mission Charter Will Go to Legislature. Y

George McAneny, formerly borough president of Manhat- tan, now business manager of the New York Times, struck a note that made a powerful ap- peal to the people of Bridge port when he said, yesterday, that before Bridgeport can have good city government it must take the labels off it's municipal affairs.
 What MT. McAneny said about the necessity of doing with national party politics in city elections had the approval of substantially every man who attended the Chamber of Com merce luncheon. Inquiry made by a Times representative i'm mediately following the speech indicated an almost unanimous sentiment in favor of another attempt to establish the com mission plan in Bridgeport.
 The commission plan has the ad vantage of doing away entirely with people of Bridgeport voting to the question, have twice given the plan a very large majority.
 It seems certain today that the Chamber of Commerce, the Taxpay- CTS Association and other civic or ganizations will take up the work al- most immediately which is necessary for the institution of a new campaign. It is whispered that quite few mem bers of the Board of Aldermen are in favor of going to the legislature with a commission charter.

MAYOR WILSON
 IS CELEBRATING

The city of Bridgeport finds itself today and until next Tuesday without an official head as Mayor Wilson has left the city and will be gone until next Tuesday celebrating the sixth anniversary of his parriaEe.
 In the absence of the mayor the charter provides that the president of the Board of Aldermen shall bu the official head of the city, but the new Board of Aldermen have noc organized and have not elected a president as yet.
 The. lack of a chief executive leaves many city matters tied up. The of fees of the city auditor and city clerk are overrun with men who are look ing for their pay as demonstrators and watchers at the election held la week and whose checks will not be ready until the mayor affixes his signature to the report of the. com mittee which has certified the bills of these men.

HEN MATCHES II
HUNGARIAN PARTRIDGES
Biddy Nurses Strange Brood Ten
derly--Birds VIII BE Released
When Strong Enough to Care
for Themselves

Seventeen healthy young Hungar-
ian partridges from setting of Is
eggs is the unusual record of a hen
owned by Walter Savage, farmer
residing near Pullman. In disking
recently a partridge's nest was ac-
cidentally destroyed, but none of the
eggs were damaged MIR. Savage
took the setting and placed 1t un-
der hen which, after breaking one
of the eggs, Matched the entire re-
naming IL The mother hen APP
pears happy and contented with her
strange flock, while the young part
ridges are apparently as satisfied
| with their unusual mother. Mr..
Savage has placed the hen and her
brood in u small pen and will re-
lease the cartridges as soon as they
are big enough to care for them
selves
Another hen on the Savage farm is
now setting on quail eggs, this nest
also having been broken up in farm
work.
Hungarian partridges have IN
creased at remarkable rate since
the first few pairs were liberated
here four or five years ago and largo
covies of them may now be found on
almost every farm in this commun-
ity Unlike the prairie chicken,
which formerly infested the Pull
man farms and made sport for the
hunters, the cartridges nearly al
ways nest in the brush, the finding
OF nests in the fields being rare oc-
currences, Hence they are much
less liable to be destroyed by plov-
ing or narrowing and multiply much
more rapidly. The birds are admir-
ably adapted to the Palouse climate
and in their swift flight prove a
hard target for the most expert
hunter. According to sportsmen
and farmers who have watched the
birds multiply during the past four
years they are the coming game bird
of Whitman county. The open sea-
son on the little game birds extends
but two weeks in the fall
