GERMAN DEAD
FUNERAL AT MONTEVIDEO BAN ON PARADE (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Dec. 16„ 11 a.m.) MONTEVIDEO, Dec. 15 Five thousand people watched the landing of the coffins containing the bodies of the Admiral Graf Spee victims. Fourteen bus loads of the Admiral Graf Spee’s crew and Uruguayan and German officers followed the bodies to the cemetery. One wreath was inscribed: “ To the memory of brave men of the sea from comrades of the British merchant service.”
The authorities banned a parade in the city, to avoid incidents, because of the general ill-feeling against the Admiral Graf Spee.
