At 7 a.m. there was heavy rain, but the crowd had already commenced to assemble and remained in its ranks along the route of the procession undaunted.
At 9.30 a.m. Big Ben tolled seventy times and the chimes of Westminster Abbey rang in ceho. -
The Queen Mother reached the entrance of Westminster Hall coincidentally with the appearance of, the gun carringo arrying her husband's remains. King Edward, in the uniform of an Admiral, his face pate and strained, stood at the entrance. As his Queen Mother's conch took its place, the massed bands of the Guards-Regiments played Chopin's Funeral March and the procession commenced at 9.45 am.
Before long the rain ceased, light 1. winds dispersed the clouds and tho sun shone. The measured tramp of men, the slow, moving measure of the funeral marches, the boom of guns Big Ben and throbbing voico of mingled with the Abbey's clear chimes, seemed to awe the crowds.

FEARS DEFIANCE OF VERSAILLES TREATY
Paris, Jan. 38.
It is understood the French Government is much concerned with the question of Germany's intentions in the demilitarised zone of the Rhinoland, which, by the Treaty of Versailles, must* not be armed for another quarter century.
M. Pierre Flandin is known to be anxious to obtain the British Government's viewpoint in this matter, and it is be- lieved he will see the Prime Minister, Mr. Stanley Baldwin, and the Foreign Secretary, Mr. Anthony Eden, during his present visit to London in connection with the funeral of King George
It is learned that M. Pierre Laval, former Prime Minister and Foreign Minister in the lately ousted French Cabinet, just before resigning, asked Italy what would be her attitude if Germany broke her engagements with regard to the de- militarized zone.
He received a favourable reply, it is understood. Italy promised she would maintain her Locarno engagements, and as she had only seven divisions engaged in Ethiopia she did not lauk for man-power-Reyter.
