MARSHALL GIVES PATRIOTIC CREED
 IN HIS ADDRESS

Washington. March 5.-vice Pres- dent Marshall made his second in- augural address before the Senate to- day-a statement of his creed of cit izenship under government for which, he said, q ought to be will ing to live or to die. as God decrees, that it may not perish off the earth through treachery within or through assault from without The addresses follows:
 Custom calls for the utterance of a few words upon this occasion: Other wise would gladly remain silent. It may not be Inappropriate to express by gratitude for the little nameless, unnumbered and ofttines unremem- bered acts of courtesy and charity body during the last four years, to express my regret over the vanishing faces of those who are leaving and to welcome those who in few moments are to become our co-worlxers in the cause of constitutional freedom.
 Everywhere in America are cla- mant and strident voices proclaiming the essential clements of patriotism He who seeks out of them all to select one clear note of love for country may fail I conceive it to be far more important to. examine myself than to cross-examine another. May I make bold to insert in the record some ele- ments of the creed which I have adopted hic period of retrospec- ton aEd 'ospection?

STATE TO SUFFER
 VERY LITTLE AS
 RESUL TOFHOOD

Atlanta, March 5.-Cold and clear ing weather today brought relief from threatened serious floods in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia and apparently had relieved the situa- tion on the upper Tennessee river, which went out of it's banks Sunday.
 At Chattanooga the Tennessee river continued to spread over lowlands and farther up it had flooded and driven many persons from their homes. They were marooned at isolated points, but "a rescue steamer has been sent to their aid.
 Around Chattanooga there was Hs- tie suffering as the result of prompt action by city authorities in giving shelter to the homeless. Railroad traf- eic was interfered with there, while further east landslides caused oy washouts tied up some branch raii- road lines.
 The Cumberland river at Nashville continued to rise tonight, and higher stages for both that river and the Tennessee were forecast. but the ma terial damage was not expected to be great as warehouses had been emptied and farmers in the nearby country had had time to move their stock.
 In North Carolina the Roanoke, Neuse, Cape Fear and Tar rivers were beyond flood stage. but little material damage was reported and weather forecasters said that these rivers had reached higher stages previously without much harm resulting.
 The James and Roanoke rivers in Virginia were subsiding tonight aft CT the former had left it's banks near Richmond. Little property loss result ed. however.
 In Alabama and south Georgia. where several rivers overflowed, no reports of any considerable properly loss were received and with the water receding the worst of the flood was believed to be over.

Although we have centered counsel ana action with such unusual concentration and success upon the great problems or domestic legislation to which we ad- dressed ourselves four years ago. ot9er matters have more and more foroed them selves upon our attention. matters lyins outside our own life as a nation, and over which we had no control, but which. de- spite our wish to keep free of them, have drawn us more and more irresistbly into their own current and influence.
 IMPOSSIBLE TO AVOID
 rIt has been impossible to avoid them. They have affected the life of the whole world. They have shaken men every where with a passion and an apprehen- sion they never knew before. It has been hard to preserve calm counsel while the thought of our own people sways this way and that under their influence. We are composite and cosmopolitan peo- ple We are of the blood of all the na- tions that are at war. The currents of our thoughts as well as the currents of our trade run quick at all seasons back and forth between us and them. The war inevitably sets its mark from the first alike upon our minds, our industries, our commerce, our politics and our social action. To be indifferent to it. or inds pendent of it. was out of the question.
 DEEPLY WRONGED
 And yet al the while we have been conscious that we were not part of it. In that consciousness, despite many divis- ions, we have drawn closer together. We have been deeply wronged upon the seas, but we have not wished to wrong or in-

 MARSHALL'S INAUGURATION No less impressive than the inaugura- ton of the President was the inaugura- tior of the vice president and the swear ing in of new senators in the Senate chamber, in which the President par- ticipated When members of the Senate and House had been seated the diplo- mats of foreign nations in their glittering official regalia were ushered into the chamber, followed by the chief justice and assistant justices of the supreme court in their sombre robes, officers of the army and navy and members of the cabinet. Then the sergeant-at-arms of the Senate heralded the approach of the President of the United States.
