Plans For Inauguration Complete.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Plans for
the second Inauguration Of Woodrow
Wilson and Thomas r. Marshall as
President and Vice President, re-
spectively, are practically complete
While the international situation may
cause the inaugural ceremonies to be
limited to an extent, they will be OF
character in keeping with the i'm
portance and dignity of the occasion.
Aside from the inauguration it.
self the great parade up Pennsylvania
avenue from the Capitol to the White
House, the court of honor, from
which many will review the parade,
and the stand, covered with glass, in
The White House yard, where the
President will stand, features of great
interest, almost countless in number,
crowds which are expected in Wash
ington for the occasion.
Word has already come from Ken
tucky and Indiana TO the effect that
those States will be literally rep
resented. In those who will partic-
ipate in the inauguration festivities
will be Republicans as well as Demo
Gratis, as the occasion will be one of
an extremely patriotic character.
A spectacular feature of inaugura
ton night will be the fireworks on
the grounds of the Washington mon
ument back of the White House.
The din of curtains of fire" from
big and little guns on the Somme
front will be suggested by the final
feature of the exhibit of pyrotechnics
when 900 shells will volley in sa-
lutte, with the accompanying illum-
ination from rockets and search
lights.

with big game and Is at present main
tanned chiefly for buffalo and elk, ac-
cording to the annual report of the

GUNS TO ARM SHIPS.

Noalol

Enough Stored In Navy Yards To
Meet Probable Needs Skilled Gun m
ners Needed.
Guns and mounts sufficient to arm
any reasonable number OF American
merchant ships are now stored at
navy yards, it was stated officially at
the Navy Department yesterday fol-
lowing President Wilson's appear
ance before Congress to ask au-
thority to provide weapons and men
shodld the need arise.
Efficient gunners are lacking, how
ever, unless they are taken from act
i've ships, which can i'll spare them.
Naval officers pointed out that men
of special skill, trained to the minute
would be required as gun pointers
for anti-submarine work. At best,
q U-boat is difficult to hit, as there
lis little exposed. Often periscope
hardly visible at more than fe"
thousand yards is the gunner's only
target.
Recent figures show that $50 ships
under American registry are engaged
in transatlantic trade, but it is esti-
mated that not more than 100 would
apply for guns and take the RISK
of crossing the German submarine
zones. There will be no difficulty in
furnishing that number OF vessels
with weapons, but supplying trained
gun pointers for 100 guns would take
Just that many valuable men away
from fighting ships.
There are about 1000 men in the
first reserve, of whom Approximately
100 were trained gun pointers when
they left the active list. Most OF
them are older men, however. ana
none has had any recent practice in
gun pointing. 1t is said that no sutfi-
GENTLY expert pointers to work on
merchant craft could be obtained from
that source, although some ammuni--
ticn handlers and other members of
gun crews might be obtained. OF
the 1000 reservists, about one-half
have been drilled in gun handling
other than pointing.
Navy officials construe the Presi-
dents language as asking for author
ity wide enough to take any measure
necessary to defend American ships.
That might include naval conveys,
but the opinion of naval experts is
against such a step, both because it
could not insure the conveyed ships
against submarine attack and also
because the efficiency of the fleet as a
fighting machine would be seriously
impaired if it's units were scattered
for convoy duty.
