C.. Aug. 10. —The nation to-day is paying its final tri bute to Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. Arrangements for the funeral serv ices in the east room of the 'White House at 2 o'clock this afternoon were marked by simplicity, such as Mrs. Wilson desired. Only members o'f the Wilson family and a very few intimate members of the Cabinet and their wives, commit tees from the Senate and House and the employes of the Wh'ite House asked to be present. Those invited made a group of less than 200 persons. The mahogany casket, covered with gray broadcloth, was taken from the room in which Mrs. Wilson died to the east room and there surrounded by a profusion of beautiful flowers sent from all parts of the country. With the President and his daugh ters. Miss Margaret Wilson, • Mrs. McAdoo and Mrs. Sayre. were Secre tary MoAdoo, Francis B. Sayre and Professor Stockton Axson. Mrs. Wil son's brother, who arrived here early to-day from Oregon. Near the family a place had been reserved for the members of the Cabi net and their wives. The employes of the White House had a special part of the room assigned to them. No music had been arranged for the services and the Rev. Sylvestei Beach, of Princeton. N. J., the Wilson family pastor for many years, and the Rev. J. H. Taylor, of Washington, whose church the President has at tended since coming to Washington, decided on the simplest kind of serv ices. They selected several verses from the fifteenth chapter of First Corin thians and the fourteenth chapter of St. John for the scriptural reading and short prayers and a benediction completed the services. "Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe In God. believe also in me." was the opening verse from the Scrip tures. "In my Father's house are many mansions if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you." Marshall Heads Committee The members of the Senate com mittee. headed by Vice-President Mar shall. gathered in the marble room of the Capitol to drive to the White Housd together. Speaker Clark and the other members of the House committee, which included the senior member of each state delegation, also met at the Capitol to attend the funeral in a body. There were no honorary pallbear ers A group of White House attend ants who have been on duty there for many years were honored in being chosen to bear the casket. Both houses of Congress were in recess until to-morrow and orders had been issued that all government de partments be closed at 1 o'clock to day and to-morrow afternoon.

' ' " . ' „ Only the heroic defense of Liege by the Belgian troops, far outnumbered by the invaders. Is ,to be compar ed with the deed of almost foolhardy heroism by two troops of German Uhlans during the attack on that city. Hiding into the face i?f certain death, these men charged down on the city in the dead of night and made straight for the officers' quarters. They were within a short distance of their goal when discovered. The officers were forced to flee for their lives. When attacked by a force outnumbering them almost 100 to 1 the Uhlans gave a good account of themselves. It is esti mated. however, that only fifteen or twenty out of the two brigades escaped with their lives.
