Marion, Ohio, Aug. 9-(By A.P.)-A
one-time country editor came back to-
day to sleep for a night again under
his father's roof in Marion, and with
him cime the grief of the nation, of
the world, that he was dead.
Warren Harding was back again
among the neighborly folk of his home
town. The brief day of his greatness
was but a memory treasured by the
nation. His life work was done; the
aloofness of his high place ended.
The home folk who had. held back
when last he came to them awed with
the majesty "that doth hedge a King,"
now came eagerly to look their last
on his dead face peaceful with the
calm of eternity.,
Thousands .View Body
The draped flag was laid back and
the long, cover lifted to show once
more the still features. Then the door
was free to all who might wish to
come and the sorrowful procession of
old friends and neighbors, of men and
women and children from all around
began its silent walk. Until late in
the night nothing was placed in the
way of the thousands who came thus
and again tomorrow there will be an
opportunity for those who could not
come today to pay their respects to
a dead neighbor. Then will follow the
simple services; the funeral that will
be no more striking, save for the
thousands who crowd the grounds te
witness it, and a great place in life
one among those thousands hold than
that of any other simple American
and the long days of the home com-
ing from San Francisco will be over.
There were striking contrasts in
the scene here at Marion today from
that in Washington yesterday. There,
no mournful draperies covered' the
great goveriment buildings and the
tokens of sorrow of houses and store'
were a rarity. It was not that Wash-
ington felt no sorrow but that prece-
dent long established is against the
draping of the nation's capitol.
Mairion in Black
Here in Marion the fiowi.ng of black
draperies is everywhere and hardly a
house but has the pictured face of
the dead President in the window al-
ways with a bit of crepe or mourn-
ing body about it. Far and wide over
Ohio it is the same.
Service to be Brief
The only funeral services here will
be at the cemetery and they will be
extremely brief and simple in accord-
ance with the wish of Mrs. Harding.
Only relatives and'intimate friends
will make up the small party going
to the cemetery. Even newspapermen
will be excluded from the services at
the tomb.
When the funeral train arrived
here, the casket was taken immediate-
ly to the home of the dead president's
father, Dr. George T. Harding, Sr.,
in East Center St. The trip from the
station to the father's home was made
in a hearse, not on a military cais-
son as yesterday in Washington.
Body Lies in State
At his father's home the body lay'-
in private until 2 o'clock this after-
noon. From then until 10 o'clock to-
night the public was permitted to look
upon the kindly face of the former
Marion newspaper publisher.
Again, tomorrow, from 9 a. m., un-
til 1 p. in., the public will have a
last opportunity to pass by the bier
of Mr. Harding. At 2 o'clock the fun-

SAYS MUCH IN BRITISH
. . REPLY IS "IMPOSSIBLE"
Urges Determination as Sole Hope
of German People Against
Occuption
Berlin, Aug. 9.-(By A.P.)- Chan-
cellor Cuno's address to the reichstag
in which he declared that passive re-
sistance in the Ruhr and Rheinland
would continue to be supported by the
nation, has been received as the most
depressing statement yet made to the
national legislature by the present
government.
Speech Disappointing
The coalition parties regard it as
a disappointing utterance. The chan-
cellor was visibly disconcerted by the
boisterious heckling of the Commun-
ist members, who, when he arose to
speak, hailed him as "traitor," "swind-
ler" and "president of the Stinnes
company." -
He was continually interrupted as
the address progressed, but when it
was finished there was prolonged ap-.
plause. Asserting that the British
draft reply to the last German repara-
tion note contained much that was im-
possible of fulfillment, Herr Cuno said
it appeared England had gone extra-
ordinarily far in her concessions to
the French viewpoint.
Resistance Necessary
"It is necessary to continue with. all'
our strength, passive resistance, free
from mad acts of violence and, ter-
ror," he said, "and to support actively
from the unoccupied territory the pop-
ulation which is persevering in a pas-
sive resistance of its own will."
He reiterated that Germany would
not "abandon a German 'and and be-
tray fellow countrymen.

the Ruhr was to be freed only when
