J. Miles, secretary of the divisional headquarters of the Salvation Army, to find put if any more details of the procession were available. “I have nothing to say,” said Major Miles. “The mourning procession is still to be held?” asked the reporter. "I have nothing, absolutely nothing, to say,” said the major.
