a Field Marshal To Rest in St. Paul's " . ? I London, June. -23.?The funeral; of Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson j w?rbe- held: next Monday .rn -St. j < Paul's Cathedral, the empire's mili- ! tary pantheon. The body will be I interred in the North Transept,' be- i side the grave of Field Marshal trv .Lord Roberts. Full military honors ^ imM. be accorded the dead soldier. Except for the portion of the cathedral reserved for the relatives - >*of the held marshal, members of parliament and other prominent persons, the whole of the vast edi ?. fice will be thrown open without ??tickets to the general public. Over the long-route from Eaton Square, th.* home of Field Marshal Wilson < to St. Paul's, others of -the public j will have-opportunity, to pay their; respects; The two men arrested as as ,> sassins of Field Marsnai -?Vilio*, 'were' i arraigned on a charge ** of murder today and formally re manded for a week in order te en-; able further investigation. Little J -?*has been added to the identity-or ! the motives of the assassins; except | that they prove to be former sol- j ?ier3; --?ne of- them was- employed j v as a door-keeper in a government,' office. The expressions of horror and in- ; ? <adignaticn over- the assass-inaiton ! axe not confined to England^ To- ! day they extended virtually over j the whole world. Large numbers i r^. of messages of condolence reached j " Lady ? Wilson from - sovereigns, j great soldiers and/cabinet minis- ] ters in various- countries. ? - i Thus far the responsible Repub- ! iicafts in Ireland who-have spoken j . regarding the assassination,- - in cluding. Eamon Be Valera, have disavowed any knowledge of the -xriroe or its ? perpetrators. Mr. De j Yalera tonight, however.-issued a political manifesto in which he de nounced the policy of the British z^cwersment and that of Ulster-as \ the -cause for such outrages. Siri James Oraig, Ulster premier, also, issued a statement in which he as- j serted that the , assassination would j - harden the hearts of the Ulsterites[ for . their -policy of no - surrender, j. Regret was expressed in govern-I ment circles today-that the murder j might be calculated to delay an j ?Irish settlement. i Night Flying Between London and i . . -Paris.. '? . \ London, June 7?Night flying be- j tween England and' France, which ; was inaugurated early, this month, ] is expected to add immensely - to j the commercial .value of aerial j communication. - It saves time, and t .makes possible remarkable train! and. steamship connections which ] were before impossible. j The first plane to travel between* ^ohdon and Paris at night left the J London air station at ten o'clock and landed at the Paris aerdome ] socfa after "midnight. It contained! Brigadier-Generai W. & Brancker, j Director of Civil Aviation; Colonel j L. Blaady, Controller.of Air Com-] - urenieations, a navigator, pilot, two j jurtreless' operators and a mechanic. ? The air station at Croydon, cut- / *dde London, was a blaze of search lights, colored electric globes, and ^powerful incandescent arc lamps. The illuminated cabin of the-nut chine and the red, white and green . navigating lights made it an ob-1 $eet of rare beauty as it rose In j the darkness and headed for the coast. On arriving in Paris General | " *Brancker said: "I dined comfort-; *ab$y at a London hotel, motored ? down, to Croydon, got into the ma-! chine, and am here at one in the />joaornlng after a very leisurely flight. I am ready to go to bed in Paris or am prepared to go; on to Marseilles to make a - ship i connection there. : "I expect regular passenger^ night-flying soon to start," contin-; ued the Director of Civil Aviation,; "bat certain things are needed be- ? fore it become general between Par .45s and London. j The first essential is greater per- j fection of wireless telephony on board airplanes, sb that pilots can -?2earn what the weather -is-ahead of them.- Then we. need better lighting of intermediate aero- j dromes, in order that pilots may j . be able to land safety if they find j !*aris covered with an unexpected : bank of fog.

Frederick Bambury, unionist for a j reduction of the: chief ?secretary for. 1 Ireland's salary as an expression of disapproval of the government's policy and failure to afford police protection for Field Marshal Wil son was defeated. The vote was 342 to 75. .

Premier Lloyd -George, in a brief speech- winding* up the debate, re sumed the familiar arguments in support ? of the government policy I and contended that the-Irish provi ' sioiial government now had ? the I people of Ireland behind it, and what-it did or failed to do, would be the real test of whether it was fit to govern. i The question of Field Marshal 1 Wilson's-murder did. not figure in! the-debate as largely as might j have been anticipated.- Home Sec retary Shortt was able' to show that the ministers and others from whom police protection had -been withdrawn had acquisced in the j withdrawal. i Loud cheers greeted the an- i nouneed result of the vote, giving j a- substantial majority for the gov- I ernment. ? -.- 11 *> ? ? ?
