In thoueunds to pay a last tribute. Un-

before the last et the long line could
ba admitted, and from the 'earlieet
alawn this morning thousneds mare
:dreamed down to tend Victoria Mu -
seam. .The doors, bowever, haa tenbe
kept closed, so that the preihnintalee
for the funeral proceesion to •the

be adequately arranged. •
Soon after 8 o'clock great nunthers
•efspectatore had assembled along the

onlookers. Promptly at 10 o'clock the
arrangements for the departure of the
cortege were completed, cle3pite - the
complexity of • having to make up a
procession composed of horse-drawn
sleighs (for the streets in Ottawa are
deep in snow) and of scores of 'digni-
Melee of steee, national so chafes, re-
turned soldiers' Bociettet; and political
bodies, closing with a vett unclassified
dreafli of simple eitizeee from nearly
all parts of the Dz.:minion,

eanctuary were several archbishops
and bishbps, and representatives of all
the religious communities. A toilet:l-
ing requiem mass, composed by the
Abbe Peres', was rendered by the
Choir, and at the conclusion eloquent
eulogies of the dead were pronounced,
en French, by Archbishop Mathieu, of
Regina, and in English by Rev, Fath-
er John Burke, Pauliat, of Toronto,
son ef the late Mr. Denis Burke, of
Ottawa,
After the final aasolution the body
was taken to its last resting plaee in
Matra Dame Cemetery. At the grave
the last rites were performed by
Father Lajeune, of the aurtiorate of
tt,e Sacred Heart.
Throughout It was necessary to roe
striet 'admission strictly to ticket
nolders, but the fullness and, indeed,
the grandeaur, of the nation's tribute
4was eeen more especially in the vast

lot tioket or invitation to show their
admiration for "the grand old ma".
.Taes Was the dominant note of Sir

Museum up the broad residential
rempte-lined avenue of Metcalfe street
into the Imart of the city of Ottawa
the procession slowly wound its Way.

Sanded. The new armietiee ts beteg
eubinitted to the Germans Lir prompt
acceptance. The atilt attitude talon
by elarehal Foch at the recent Undo -
nee at Trevets has had a beneficiel ef-
fect in Germany, atm the admieston
by the German Goeernment that they_
had no alternative but aceeptanee of
the Anted proposal hue deetroyetl the
Must= nitica the Germane brave been
encouragea to hold that they had not

'rhea now admit that they must
yield to the will of the coaquerer, and
this foreshadows an acceptance of the
terms to be en:emitted next month,
which will limit the. German armytand

The British view is believed to favor

That the acceptance of the terms by

here, and it is explicitly foreshadowed
in the statement to the British Parlia-
ment by Hon. Winston Churchill.
"Oermany must," lia 7alfl, "have food

There is also in evidence the new

The battalion, which wily arrived in
'En.gland from Belgium a ,fortnight
ago, was inspected by the Princess at
the Canadian camp of Bramshott,
:near Liphook. The men had with
them the coloes which the Princess
worked withatier own hands and pre-
sented to them when they left Ottawa
for France, and which tbey carried
through many •engagements. The men
were in figeting kit and looked ex-
tremely smart on parade.
After Inspecting and addressing the
men, the Princess fixed to the colors,
which were preseated ai her by an
officer on, bended knee, a laurel
wreath in metal, inscribed; "To the
Princess Patricia's Canadian Light

The battalion marched past Re

by British troops in this war.

As an example of the latter, it has

the la.ct that they have eemenstrated

'The feede ensumed by a dairy cow

the maintenance of the body. The
