The few people remaining had taken refuge un- der trees and in some small tents near the speakers stand.
 For half an hour the Presidents au- tomobile stood in the driving rain. Mn. Wilson from time to time peered through the water smeared windows Of his car, much concerned over how the people outside were faring.

They either were timid about visiting the President of the United States under such cir cumstanoes or afraid of the wettIng they would get between the tree and the car.
 When the rain finally held up, thosc in charge of the arrangements informed the President that the formal exercises had been abandoned Flowers were placed on the graves in the Confederate 6 section of the cemetery and magnif- icent cross of flowers presented by Washington camp, Sons of Confederate Veterans, was unveiled by two young girls.
