Washington, March 3:?The Armed Neutrality bill was "killed" under the most dramatic circumstances' ever witnessed in Congress. Sharp upon the stroke of 12 o'clock, in the stale Senate chamber redolent with the mephitic odors bred by bad ventilation and close as sociation for forty-eight hours, nine-1 ty-two members of the Senate, wearied from the lack of sleep and J strung up to a high nervous tension, focused their eyes upon the Vice President as he declared the Senate adjourned sire die. At the same moment the President of the United States passed through the lobby, within ten feet of the Vice President's chair, on his way to the room where he was to take the oath of office to succeed himself. In the galleries on the four sides of the chamber and twenty feet above the floor of it sat as many people as there were accommodations -? - - *_ il. i? u *u,. xor. in nit; nans uutsiuc ui mr nailery entrances were long lines of men and women trying to push the doorkeeper for an opportunity to crane their necks over the heads of th j more fortunate and eager for an opportunity to look down upon the extraordinary spectacle. Those that succeeded saw the Senate at its worst?untidy, disheveled, petulant, angry, sarcastic, ill-tempered and at times ill-mannered. The Senators themselves, who under ordinary circumstances would put forward their best fronts on such an occasion, were apparently indifferent to either outward appearance or their personal conduct. Most of them looked as if they had literally not been to bed for a week, furnishing visible proof that they had not at least enjoyed the morning tub, explored their linen chests or received the attention of their barbers or safety razors. The floor was littered with paper, copies of bills, scraps of memoranda, roll calls, half chewed cigar stumps, segments of sandwiches, bits of chewing gum?or tobacco?pencil ends, torn calling cards and such odds and ends of personal possessions as find their way to the floor in a room that h-3 been neglected for a day or two.

Standing in the shadow of the na tion's Capitol, with his face turne toward the eastern war-seared skies the President renewed his oath of a] legiance to the Constitution, prayinj to God that he might be given wisdor and prudence to do his duty in th true spirit of the American people While trumpets blared and martia accoutrements rattled prophetical! about him, the President picturei the deep wrongs the United State patiently had borne in the conflict o other peoples, without wishing t wrong or injure them in return. As serting tragedies of another continen had removed provincialism and mad Americans citizens of the world, an^ that the principles of this republi should be applied to the liberation o mankind, he resolutely voiced a da termination that America, standin; "firm in armed neutrality," mus demonstrate her claim to a "mini mum of right and freedom of action in world affairs. Peculiar interest and significanc in the light of the rebuke last nigh to Senators who prevented the pas sage of the armed neutrality bill wer attached to the President's assertio on this point. Even more interest an concern were aroused when headdec "We may even be drawn on by cir cumstances, not by our own purpos or desire, to a more active assertio of our rights as we see them and i more immediate association with th great struggle itself. But nothinj will alter our thought of our purpose Wo ripsiro npithpr eonauest nor ad vantage. We wish nothing that cai b? had only at the cost of anothe people. We always have professei uiselfish purpose, and we covet th opportunity to prove that our profes sions are sincere." Making no attempt to review thi legislative record of the last fou years, the President said this was n time for retrospection. The time wa one to speak of thoughts and pur poses for the immediate future. T< be indifferent to the influence of th? war upon America, or independen of it, he said, was impossible.and hi was firm in the conviction that th< part this country wished to play ii the vital turmoil was the part o those "who mean to vindicate am fortify peace." These were the dominant thought of the President as he addressed th cheering multitude in the broad pla za of the Capitol grounds. In the as semblage before him American citi zens of all nations had sung "Ameri ca with a mighty voice, while wait ing for his appearance on the inau gural stand. And in the processioi which followed him to the Whit House and passed in review a "com posite and cosmopolitan people" gav graphic evidence of loyalty and pa triotism "We are American citizens," flarei from banners borne by once aliei hands. "We are ready to fight am die for America," was the stirrinj message blazing from the standari waving over the heads of new Am erican citizens from Poland. Mei of many foreign ancestries held b the breeze as they marched past th chief executive other insigna of pa triotic Americanism and the word "America First" emblazoned fror countless streamers aroused th throngs 'along Washington's broa< thoroughfares to continual outburst of patriotic fervor. From the time the President lef fUi-k U/A UAHOA nnfil KIQ ratnri LI iC TT 1UVC iivuot; uuvu mw i ww* . his plaudits with him was Mrs Wil son, who accompanied him to th< Capitol, stood by his side on the in augural stand as Chief Justice Whit administered the oath of office an< joined in acknowledging the tribute and acclaim in the processional jour ney to the White House. It was th? first time in history that the wife o a President had participated si prominently in inaugural ceremonies and gracing them also was Mr Marshall, wife of the Vice President who sat with her husband in the in augural stand and rode beside hin in the parade.
