KRUPP VICTIMS' FUNERAL. ·

Germans Have Elaborate Ceremony.

Essen, April 11.

Most impressive scenes marked the funeral of the Kropp victims, which probably have never been surpassed except in the case of great monarchs, far the crowds and the quantities of wreaths; and the panoply of the procession, eight abreas: headed by a forest of banners, took sight tours to pass a given point. The wreaths alone took twenty minutes. In the course of the proceedings Herr Krupp Vor Bohlan delivered an oration, concluding by saying "their life and death will remain the keystone of Germany's future." The eburch bells throughout the country were rung, and there was a Cessation of work in the occupied territory during the ceremony." At; Kruppa works, all the French troops except isolated sentries were confined to quarters.
