Armed Neutrality Bill Killed In
Congress Saturday.
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.

PRESIDENT WILSON
RE-INAUGURATED
THE|CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND VICI
PRESIDENT SUCCEED THEMSELVES
IN OFFICE. ^
Washington, March 5,?WooSlo\
Wilson, with the major part of th
world at war and America poised o
its verge, consecrated his second in
auguration as President of the Unite
States today with a last message o
hope for peace.
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

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.
