BODY OF LODGE LAID IN VAULT
 AT MT. AUBURN
Distinguished Group Pays Homage To Statesman
 And Scholar
(By Associated Press)

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 12.- Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, whose career as statesman and scholar was ended by death here last Sunday, was laid at rest today in the Lodge family vault in Mount Auburn cemetery be tween two tall American elms on the slope of hill and by the shore of lake. The services at the tomb and Christ church, where a distinguished group of mourners gathered, were as simple as the homage of hundreds would permit. The simplicity was relieved only by military and naval guard of honor, two soldiers, sailor and ma rine. with draped colors and with arms.
 Delegations representing nation and state, city and town, judiciary and or ganizations whose activities he shared, were present at the church services. By wish of the family only those close to the senator in public and private life were allowed in the old church.
 Outside, a reverent crowd of hun dreds, some of them high in social standing or in public life. formed a congregation that stood through the services.
 Services By Classmate
 ritual of the Episcopal church would permit. and there was no departure from the book Bishop William Law renee. head of the Episcopal diocese, playmate and classmate and lifelong friend of the senator. conducted the services, assisted by the Rev. Prescott Evarts, rector of the church.
 Recitins the selected prayers. Bishop Lawrence. his head held high as if un- der stress of feeling that was strongly controlled, ahpeared to emphasize the passage: "We yield unto Thee most high praise for the wonderful grace and virtue declared in Thy servants;'' de- parting from the text in reference to servants instead of saints. Except as this might be construed as a testimo- nial to the greatness achieved by the friend of his boyhood, there was no eulogy.
 Bells Toll Knell
 As the choir took up the strains of the hymn, "The Son of God Goes Forth to War;" Bishop Lawrence headed the recessional. The bells of Christ church tolled, the bells of the first parish, Uni tarian, on the edge of Harvard Square, took up the slow antiphonal, and the church emptied in the wake of the re- cessional. At the end came the colors, those of the country, a flag from the battleship Florida that was in action at Vera Cruz and was flown in the North sea, and the state colors, each with a drape of mourning at the peak.
 Through the reverent crowd the cor tege moved again. As in the procession from the home of Dr. w. Sturgis Bige- low on Beacon street, Boston, where the body had rested since Monday, to the church, only members of the family and pallbearers. with Bishop Lawrence and the Rev. Evarts, accompanied it.
 The roster of pallbearers drawn from Senator Lodges contemporaries, was rot complete, disabilities due to age making it impossible for two to serve.
 Through the winding paths of Mount Auburn cemetery, the casket was taken to the family vaut,, Gothic structure of red sandstone.
 Behind the door of Carrera marble Senator Lodge was committed to his last resting place beside the body of Mrs. Lodge and those who had gone before. Bishop Lawrence pronounced only the simple commitment service.
 A Christ church, Secretaries Hughes and Weeks with Governor Cox occupied the first pew on the left of the casket. facing the chancel and behind them on the left were the official delegations. On the right were family and friends.
