Ordinance,

London, Jan. 28.

Silent thousands lined the four-mile route from West- minster Hall to Paddington Station for the funeral procession of King George V to-day. Unusual precautions were taken by police in order to prevent any possible attempts at assassina- tion of visiting royalties, but apparently the entire mass of people was only desirous of showing ità sincere grief.

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 am. Big Ben tolled seventy times and the chimes of Westminster Abbey rang in echo.

"

The Queen Mother reached the entrance of Westminster Hall coincidentally with the appearance of the gun carriage carrying her husband's remains. King Edward, in the uniform of an Admiral, his face pale and strained, stood at the entrance. As his Queen Mother's coach took its place, the massed bands of the Guards Regiments played Chopin's Funeral March and the procession commenced at 9.45 a.m.

It is learned that M. Pierre Laval, former Prime Minister and Foreign Minister in the Intely ousted French Cabinet, just before resigning, asked Italy what would be her attitude if Germany broke her engagements with regard to the de militarised 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 lack for man-power-Reuter.
