When Am sador Von Bernstorff came from Secretary Bryan's office he parried all questions by saying he could not talk, being under a promise to Secretary Bryan, His only real response was that he had made no appointment with President Wilson.

The funeral Procession, in ich mounted police, soldiers and civilians participated, followed the last of the coffins. Clergymen of all creeds combined in a joint service as the last grave was filled.
