| Justice White. After kissing the open
Bible at the place selected for the cere-
mony the new president will read his
inaugural address from this same
stand IL the weather permits. During
all this time Mr.. Wilson will be bare
headed. Hordes Of people will be
massed in front Of the stand, craning
their necks to see, each trying to catch
some of the utterances of the new
president, but only those nearest him
are the privileged ones in this respect,
as even the strongest voice couldn't
carry to the center of that vast assem-
blage in the open air.
While this has been in progress the
divisions of the inaugural parade will
have formed In the streets near the
capitol.
THE PARADE
The procession will leave the capitol
about half past 1. Ahead of Presi-
dent Wilson and his escort will march
Major General Leonard Wood, grand
marshal of the parade. About 1000
regular troops will march, the force
consisting Of three regiments of In
fantry, one regiment of coast artillery
marching as infantry. one regiment of
cavalry, one battalion of field artillery,
N battalion Of engineers and the corps
of midshipmen and West Point cadets.
Many of the states are sending mill
tary representations, and private Or
CARNATIONS from every section of the
country have made application to the
inaugural committee for permission to
parade, but because of President Elect
Wilson's desire for simplicity many
requests We're not granted. Still the
parade will not be lacking In attractive
ness. A section will be composed OF a
thousand Princeton college men. Mr..
Wilson for a long time was president
of the university, and William +. Me
Combs, chairman of the National
Democratic committee, who managed
the Wilson campaign, also holds a place
in the hearts of Princeton men.
The line of the parade will extend
from the capitol to Washington circle,
where 1t will be d~isbanded. Four years
ago, because of the inclement weather.
the parade disbanded within a few
blocks after passing the reviewing
stand.
The national guard of the various
states, each headed by its governor, will
march In the order in which the states
came into the Union, Delaware oming
first, Pennsylvania second and Arizona
last. having been admitted into the
Union only last year.
President Wilson, at the head of the
parade. will traverse Pennsylvania
avenue in about half an hour. Arrly-
ing at the White House, he will find
Mrs. Wilson and his three daughters
there, they having driven from the can
itol by a different route from that taken
by the parade.
The new president then will sit down
with his family to his first meal In
the White House. The parade is halt
ed on Pennsylvania avenue. At DAB
p. m. the new president will take a
seat in a private box in the front of
the reviewing stand. and the entire pro-
cession viii then pass before him.
After the parade the president and
his family will re-ente the White
House and at 7:30 p. IN. through the
real windows OF the executive man
sion will view a grand display OF fire.

Plans For the Parade, Etc.

TATooDROw WILSON decreed
NAV months ago that the ceremo-
nies attending his inaugura-
ton as president should
be transformations, and arrangements
for the event, which II about to take
place, have been made with that end
IN view. While Mr.. Wilson's prefer
NICE for q simple Inauguration was
well known, his announcement Jan. 10
that he wished the customary inaugu-
raj ball dispensed with on b ground
Of expense was considerable Of a sur
prise.
For q time the Idea seemed to gain
strength that the ceremonies would be
sidetracked altogether this presiden-
tiaI year-all but a small military dis
play-but later it was announced that.
although the demonstration would not
surpass in impressiveness preceding
parades, private and political organiZa-
lions as we'll as a good turnout of SOL
diery would be in line to honor the
first Democratic president the United
States has had in twenty years.
The constitution exacts nothing else
from the president at his Inauguration
but his oath of Office. The oath is
found in article 2, section l, clause 3,
and reads: Before he enters on the ex-
ecution Of his office he shall take the
following oath or affirmation: i do
solemnly swear Tor affirm that / will
faithfully execute the Office Of presi-
dent of the United States and will. to
the best of my ability, preserve. pro-
tect and defend the constitution Of the
United States.'"
As Chief Justice Edward ID. White,
Bible in hand. utters these words Pres
ident Elect Wilson will repeat them.
This form is accepted as necessary by
most Of us, but the parade and the ball
have long been the subject Of criticism
and agitation.
AVENUE IN GALA 0AR6
The 4th of March weather often has
proved disastrous to the plans of the
committee of arrangements, as it is in
q large part a financial investment
with the merchants of Washington.
Contributions are made by the differ
emit hotel men and storekeepers, which
are returned to them after the inaugu-
ration from the money collected for
seats In the reviewing stands along
the line Of march and the other cere-
monies. Over 100000 has been contrib
uted for the Wilson Inauguration, part
Of which has been expended in beauti-
flying Pennsylvania avenue and other
streets along which the parade will
travel. The building OF the reviewing
ytands is another big item Of expense.
Particular attention is being paid to
the 'court of honor" extending from
Madison place. on Pennsylvania ave
nue., to Executive avenue, and also to
the plaza at the Union station. A
uniform idea Of decorations is being
followed by all the merchants. Every
thing will be simple, but diginfed and
effective. In keeping with the wishes
OF the incoming president.
