...cold, dismal day the flag-draped coffin was carried from the Embassy to a caisson, escorted up Massachusetts Avenue by a squadron of cavalry. The city grew quiet as the mounted band played a funeral march. The muffled drums and the dull clop-clop of the cavalry troop thudded in the grey air. Troopers carried the coffin into the grey, unfinished Washington Cathedral. A dull light edged through the rose window, on the guard of honor, the Union Jack, the Ambassadors, the Supreme Court Justices, the generals, the Cabinet officers, the wreaths of chrysanthemums from President Roosevelt, of laurel...

As at Marseille when King Alexander of Yugoslavia was assassinated (TIME, Oct. 15), the usual ornate, equestrian guard spurred forward a few seconds late...
...stiff story that he had not been Gazetted two weeks in advance. But life at Doom is terribly sleepy. In the ivied main palace and the outlying smaller palace for smaller princes, the family retires early, lies abed until noon, reading, smoking, dozing. Sometimes they listen irritably to the clop, clop of Wilhelm's ax, making Doom's big daily news. Lately rheumatism has kept Wilhelm abed too, denied him the chief pleasure he gets as Germany's richest man (estimated fortune...
