LONDON, May 21.-Two very cor

Britain. on Thursday night They
were published in the Morning Post,
which never favored the league of ma

and cooperation was true, and it con-

cannot, as we have been told rather
frequently, be the only and unique
guarantee of the future peace of the
world"
Referring to Anglo American rela-
tions, the pa per declared that nothing
in recent years more thoroughly dis
sipated misunderstanding than Presi-

of American policy, to which Mr.. Har-
very referred during his speech.

the British government was definite

The Daily Telegraph's comment,
which was largely personal appre-
citation of Ambassador Harvey, cor
daily agreed it was high time to give
the quietus to the idea that the Unit

championship of the League Of Ma

Assuming that the United States
will keep out of the league during the
term of President Harding, the news
paper said this would be matter of
grave regret, but it will mean, at the
worst, that the league will go on
without the United States as it has
done hitherto"
The News made the point that the
whole Of America was not ignoring the
league. saying that Canada was taking
a valuable part in its operations as
was virtually all of Latin-America ex-

WASHINGTON. May 2l. - With
honors rendered doubly impressive
by the simplicity of the ceremony the
body of Edward Douglas White, chief
justice of the United States was
buried today in Oak Hill cemetery TO
sleep forever near the city where his
great service to the nation was rem
dered.
Lowered flags on public buildings.

partments and the dull thudding OF
a funeral salute from batteries al
marked outwardly the nations grief.
A small company had gathered in
st. Matthew's church when the hour
of service arrived. Close up to the
altar the casket was banked over with
flowers and directly behind it Presi-
dent and Mrs. Harding took their plac-
es while cabinet members, diplomats,
committees of congress. high depart
ment officials, and others of those
representing a government IN mourn
ing were grouped with a few intimate
friends.
Celebrate Mass
When all were in their places the
doors were opened to the throng that
waited outside and the church was
ebrated by Monsignor Lee. rector of
the church, which Justice White at
tended.
The President and Mrs Harding did
not go to the cemetery and all the of
ficial characters of the service ended
with the ceremony at the church.
Only the little company of relatives
and close friends and the eight sur
viving members of the supreme court
as honorary pail bearers went to pay
last honors at the grave.
By order of the president all activl-
ties In the executive departments
were suspended for the funeral, set
for 10 o'clock. and will remain sus-
pended all day. The senate stood ad-
journed until Monday and all courts of
the city were in recess.
The funeral, private by request of
the family. was arranged in no sense
as an official occasion but the position
the chief justice held in the affairs
of the country made it impossible to
eliminate what amounted to official
| mourning.
NotabIes Attend.
Among those to attend besides Pres
ident Harding were Justice Whites
associates on the supreme bench as
honorary pall-bearers; Vice-President
Coolidge. select committees from the
senate and the house, and the full
