Strongest Guard In Country i
History Is Thrown Around
The President.

Washington, Feb. l1.-Never,
even in the days of the Civil
War, have such detailed pre-
cautions been taken to guard
the safety of President of the
United States as those which
are today thrown around Presi-
dent Wilson!
The keenest secret service
men of the various bureaus
throughout the country have
been brought to Washington
for the Presidents bodyguard!
Wherever the President goes,
some of them are there ahead
of him.
When he leaves. some pre-.
cede, some accompany and
some follow him.
Waking or sleeping. he is
always under the alert guard
ian ship of lynxeyed. atheletic
operatives whose sole duty is TO
protect the Chief Executive
from even the approach of
danger or annoyance.
Plans for guarding the Presi-
dent and the White House were
all worked out "a hours before
President Wilson announced to
Congress that he had handed
Won Bernstorff his passports.
Chief Flynn came from New
York, personally directed the
arrangements and summoned
his most trusted men for body
guard duty.
And when the President. re-
turning from the Capital, drove
through the big gates of the
White House grounds and they
swung to behind him, he found
himself as completely cut off
from contact with the public,
and his every movement as
carefully sateguarded as THEY
would be in actual war time.
The man actively in charge
of guarding the President is Joe
Murphy, who though long
years in the secret service and
on duty at the White House
and Executive offices, knows
how to handle every situation
to minimize the chances of
danger.
