WASHINGTON

BY direction of the Berlin govern
ment the German embassy has re-
Trained from making any display of
mournin" for Woodrow Wilson. No
flag has been flown over the embassy
at any time since Mr. Wilson's death,
although the other embassies and le-
cations have had their cuiors half
masted since the official notification
reached them.
The funeral of former President
Wilson consisted of brief private
service at the S street residence last
Wednesday. This service was followed
by another ut Bethlehem chapeE, IN the
cathedral at Mount St Albans. where
the body was placed in vault until
arrangements are made as to a final
resting place II was decided not 10
hold state funeral as proposed by
some, or to have the body lie in state
at the Capitol.
In its latest search for valuable min
eral wealth the government is sending
a party Of expert engineers on a mid
winter expedition to the tip of Alas
ka on the Arctic to survey some 10000
square miles of uncharted wilderness.
rugged mountain chains and large
stretches of unduating treeiess plains
More than One-siXth of the entire
land area of the country was used in
growing farm crops last year. The De
partment of Agriculture calculates the
total acreage of all crops mt 372, ,S29.-
600 acres, or So, sos square miles.
Farm crops produced, not merely those
sold, had hypothetical total value of
$9,47O, ,9T6 900 in 1923, or almost q bill
lion dollars more than in 1922.
The United States SENATE. with
which Woodrow Wilson was in violent
conflict during the latter days of his
administration, paid reverential tribute
to the former President With bowed
heads, the senators on the floor and
the spectators in the galleries, heard
from Senator Joseph T. Robinson, the
Democratic leader, announcement of
Mr.. Wilson's death and then from SEN
ator Henry Cabot Lodge, Republican
Massachusetts, the former Presidents s
most bitter political opponent tri-
bute to his great-ass.
Refusal of the German government
TO put its embassy flag at half staff in
honor of Woodrow Wilson resulted in
n demonstration in front of the en-
bassy building and the calling of po-
lice reserves. Nearly $50 taxi drivers,
including many ex-service men, assem-
bied at the German embassy at Massa-
chusetts avenue and planted pole in
the front lawn with an American flag
at half mast.
