"A PROCLAMAT1ON BY THE PRESI-
DENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
"John Hay, secretary of state of the
United States, died on July 1. His
death, a crushing sorrow to his
friends, is to the people of this eoun-
try a national bereavement; and, in
addition it is serious loss to mankind,
for to him was given to stand as a
leader in the effort to better world
conditions by striving to advance the
cause of international peace and JUS
tice.
"He entered the public service as
the trusted and intimate companion of
Abraham Lincoln, and for we'll nigh
forty years he served his country with
loyal devotion and high ability in many
positions of honor and trust; and
finally he crowned. his life work by
serving as secretary of state with such
-sightedness of the future and such
loyalty to lofty ideas as to confer last
ing benefit not only upon our own
country but upon all the nations of
the world. AS a suitable expression of
national mourning, I direct that the
diplomatic representatives of the
United States in all foreign countries
display the flags over their embassies
and legations at half-mast for ten
days; that for a like period the flag
of the United States be displayed at
half-mast at all forts and military
posts, and at all naval stations and on
all vessels of the United States.
at further order that on the day of
the funeral the executive. departments
of the city of Washington be closed
and that on all public buildings
throughout the United States the ma
tional flag be displayed at half-mast.
Done at the city of Washington,
this the third day of July, A. d. 1905,
and of the independence of the United
States of America. the one hundred
and twenty-ninth.
