LORD BADEN POWELL FINDS LAST REST IN KENYA

NYERI, Kenya, Jan. 9 (Reuter). - Lord Baden Powell, Chief Scout, was buried this afternoon in a tiny cemetery here. The funeral was carried out with full military honours befitting Lord Baden Powell's rank as Lieutenant General.

Lady Baden Powell was not present as she has been obliged to go into the country to rest after the strain of nursing her husband during his illness.

The British Government made an offer for burial in Westminster Abbey, but the question of whether the offer will be accepted or whether the remains will be transferred to Gilwell (chief Scout centre in Britain) will not be decided until after the war.
