Simple Arrangements for the Funeral of America’s Great War President Have Been Completed. MACHINERY OF GOVERNMENT STOPS Streets Already Filled Along Way the Cortege Will Pass —Silent Spectacle Without Martial Display. Washington, Feb. C (By ilic Associat ed Press). —As the nation waited to pay its Inst silent tribute and respect today to Woodrow Wilson, the simple arrange ments for the funeral of America's war President was .completed, and innehincry of tire government slowed to a stop. i Hours before the funeral cortege would leave the home the streets were filling along the way it would pass. Poßgress stood idle in honor to the deadj the great, government departments were closed. At spaced intervals all-the way up the wide avenue that leads from the Wilson home to the cathedral, soldiers and marines I were in place to hold open the road. | There was little but the res|M>et for, the dead to draw these silent watchers away from the busy thoroughfares into the outlying quiet streets. It was to lx- a silent spectacle without martial display or the mourning of great bands. They could not hear the private ser vices at the home and only a few could catch the echoes of the more formal cer emonies at the cathedral where the body of the fallen leader would be entombed. Yet they came to stand hour by hour just to watch in silence tls tile casket was car ried swiftly by. , * | Even before the smnll gathering of, those who would join with the family in I the home service had begun to assent-1 ble, the lines were forming where the carriages and motors waited to bear them on later to the chapel. For a wide area . about the S street home, and on either; side of the way up Massachusetts avenue to Mt. St. Albans, where the cathedral I stands, police regulations closed off all vehicular traffic except such os was nec essary for the funeral party. Others of the distinguished company destined to witness the chapel ceremony were car ried by round about ways to the cathe dral and all were in their places iq the dim chapel before the fuitargl parti ar rived. family and for President Coolidge and his cabinet. On the south side-of S street even pe-' destrian traffic had been closed off to keep the way clear for the entire block. 1 Atiqsisite many lined the high hanked earth beside the sidewalk to wait for a brief glipmsc of the President and Mrs. f'oolidge. and of the other distinguished persons who were admitted to the private ' service. There was no music in that simple service, nothing that, would carry out to the waiting people in the streets all ; about. The library where the service was held, is at the back of the house, and no window glimpse rewarded tlia patient watchers in the streets. Most of those in the street already knew almost word for word what was to be said within. They knew that three 1 clergymen, would make a fellowship of simple mourning and devotional utter ances beside the bier; the Episcopal bish- op of Washington and the two Presby terian pastors with whom Mr. Wilson had worshipi>ed in Washington, or in Princeton. There were many out there who conld have repeated with Dr. Tay lor the encouraging words of faith and comfort voiced in the 23rd Psalm, who could have foretold the appeal Dr. Bench would make that heavenly compassion would encompass the bereaved household. It wns for Bishop Freeman to rend that even more intimate page from the de vout life of Hie dead mnn. taken from the worn book of religious comfort it had been his nightly custom to road. The actual entombment was reserved for the eyes of his own loved ones alone, and the President and his cabinet and the generals and admirals and nit ■the diplomats had no part in that. Their tribute ended -with -the benedic tion and the family alone would see the last solemn moment when the casket in which lies the worn body of Woodrow Wilson was lifted down to its place in the vault to wait peacefully until men shall decide upon a fitting work of carved stone to mark his resting place as that of a servant of the nation, faithful to the death.

Washington. Feb. 6 (By the Associated Press).—Some time between dark and daylight this morning an American flag on a slender flagstaff was planted on the lawn of the German embassy which, on instructions from Berlin, has failed so far to half mast its German colors for Woodrow Wilson. This morning the Stars nnd Stripe* have been removed ngain.from the embas sy grounds, but both the manner of the flag’s appearance there and the exact story of its removal remained somewhat of a mystery. The police reported they received telephone complaint regarding invasion of the embassy property which technically is German soil. They did not know from whom the complaint tame. Embassy officials said they made no com plaint, and refused to discuss the matter further. Whether any member of the police force had taken the flag away was not clearly established. Announcement yesterday that the Ger man embassy would not, like other diplo- matie embassies here half mast its colors for the dead President, aroused, resent ment among some American Legion of ficials who declared they would ask the State Department to take action. Dur ing the night it is assumed that a smau group of men or some individual who had been aroused by the incident, took the matter in hand in the most direct way. It was said by those at the embassy that Mr. Wilson was regarded as a pri vate citizen, nnd that therefore the Ber lin government saw no reason to pay him. the funeral honors due the head j»f a for eign state. It was for this reason, it was declared, that the German tiag has not been raised at all since Sunday. Late, yesterday, however, after the situation hflri itrri a her lit atidt had ‘TfeSted something of a Sensation, the embassy changed its mind, and an nounced that after 12 :30 p. m. today it would raise its flag and tie it at half mast.
