Great
Britain
and
the United
|
States
gathered
in
Westminster
Abbey
at
noon
today
to
mourn
the
death
of

Hardine.
Hundreds
who could
|
not be accommodated
within
the cool
re-
cesses
of the ancient
cath:dral
lined the
streets
and
squaves
in the
vicinity of the
Parhiament
butidings,
as
prominent
per-
conages
in the
politieal
and
social life of
the
country
arrived

Then
the overflow ecrowd
gathered
in the
Abbey vard,
where
it
heard
the funeral
music played
on

The
United

in
the
moraing and
was obliged later
to d2¢line
the
requests
of
hundreds
of
tourisis

several
hours
before
sought
tickeis of admission.
The
unreserved
sections
of

were
‘lled
several
hours
belore
noon.
As
the
conygregation
of
ticket
holders
was
being
seated
the
organist
played
Chopin’s tuneral
march
and
at
the first
stroke
of twelve
by
Big Ben,
the clock
on the
tower
of
the House
of Commons,
the
choir
and
clergy
of the Abbey pro-
ceeded
to therr
seats
chanting
the
open-
ing
sentences
for
the
burial
services,
The congregation
then
joined
in singing
Mr. Harding’s {avourite bymn
and after
the
benediction
remained
with
bowed
heads,
while the
organ
played
the dead
march
in
Saui.
Tribure
to
the
memory
to the late President
was
paid
by Canon

London, Aug
Bth, —Despite
the bump-
er
crops
in
this
country
this year
the
anxiety of
the
PBritish
farmers
has
not
diminished,
says
the ‘‘DailyMail’’.
One
cause
for this is the Government’s failure
{0 impose
a duty on foreign barley
as
was
proposed
some
time
ago.
As
to
the
wheat
erop
the farmers
hopes
of
receiv-
ing reasonable
prices
have
been
shaken
by threats
of abundant
barvests
abroad,
the
Mail
sayvs.
In
this
connection,
the
paper
says,
'‘Canada
has
a
largely
in-
creased
prospective
wheat
crop
and this
extra quantity is quite
sufficient
to
send
down
the prices
heavily if any large part
of it is placed
in the
British
market.
In
almost
all other countries
the wheat
creps
are good,
or
better
than
usual,
except
perhaps
in
miserable
Russia.
It
is now
almost
impossible
for the
British farmer
to grow wheat
without
loss,
it
the price
is
under
60
shillings
a
aquarter.
The
price recently
has
been
about
45 shillings
a quarter
and
many
farmers
expect
it to
go still lower.
Berlin,
Aug.
Bth.—Passive
resistance
will
be continued
with
all the
strength
of
the
German
people,
free
from
mad
ucts of violence
and terror and the people
in the unoccupied
territory will ‘‘support
actively
those
in the
occupied
region,’’
Chancellor
Cuno
asserted
in
addressivg
the
Reichstag
when
it convened
for
a
short extraordinary
session
today.
When
the Chbanceilor
rose
to begin
his long
ad-
dress
he
was
preventad
from
speaking
for
some
time by
the Communists,
who
greeted
him
with
epithets
such
as
“traitor’’, ‘‘swindler’’, ‘‘the
President
of
the Stinnes
Companie
Board
is
going
to speak’’.
One
Communist
Deputy
got
very excited,
shook
his fist at the
Chan-
cellor
and
was
called
to
order
twice.
Herr
Cuno
was
subjected
to
continua!l
interruption
during
the
speech,
which
was
receivad
somewhat
coidly
by
the
House.
*“'lf there
is
no
light
on
the
horizon
which
promises
us speedy
help
then
it is for us
to Keep
alive by
means
of our own iron deterwnination’’,
said the
Chancelior
in
his
preoration,
‘“‘and
to
make
every
sacrifice.
In
this we
must
rely solely on ourselves.
We stand jaloné.
and
we must
and will help
ourselves.”’
The Chancellor asserted
that France
was
receiving only one-fifth the coal and coke
which she formerly leceived
and declared
