Peiping, Jan. 24.
Large throngs of Chircse witness ped one of the most spectacular and impressive sights in Peiping i he days of the Emperors of China, hen the funeral procession of the Marshal Wu Pei-fu, China's "soldier-poet," passed through the sireers of the city. Most of the foreign: population also saw the process ion.
The cortege commenced from the Merckal's home and proceeded to the Nien Hua Ssu Temple, where the body will remain pending arrangements for transfer.
Preceded by armed police, the procession was a colourful sight, perhaps the lest of its kind to be seen in Peiping. Those taking part were Mandarin costumes of every bue, together with old-style Mandarin hats, carrying brightly-coloured canopies ions of motorcars besides the usual horses, soldiers and the like.—Reuter.
