Tit-Bits. Travellers would have been
better pleased had they taken as o
basis the fares in vogue sixty years
ago. Competition then reacted most
benefcially for the traveller. During
the winter Of 1856-57 the fare from
London to Peterborough was one shil-
ling, the distance being 76 miles, and
during the same period the ordinary
return fare between York and London,
377 miles, was 3s Cd.
A year later there was competitive

President May Take other Means In
Submarine Menace.


Submarine Menace.
Washington. - President Wilson,
Immediately after the close OF the six
ty-fourth congress, informed the coun-
try In statement that he may be with
outpower to arm merchant ships and
take other steps to meet the German
submarine menace in the absence of
authority from congress.
An extra session Of congress, the
president says, is required to clothe
him with authority, but it is useless to
call one while the senate works under
the present rules, which permit a
small minority to keep an overwhelm-
ing majority from acting.
The president proposes, therefore,
that the speciai session Of the senate
which he called to meet Monday re-
wise the rules ito supply the means
Of acting to save the country from dis.
aster."
"A little group of willful men," says
the president in his statement, "repre.
senting no opinion but their own have
rendered the great government Of the
United States helpless and contempt
ble."

OATH TO WILSON AT NOON
SUNDAY.
FORMAL CEREMONY MONDAY
Inaugural Address Delivered Monday
Teemlng With Americanism-seo-
ond Oath Taken In Inaugural
Stand Before Throngs.

Washington Woodrow Wilson took
the oath of office for his second term
ct 1908 p. M, Sunday, March 4, few
minutes after congress had adjourned.
With a stern infection in his voice ne
repeated the oath as it was read by
the chief Justice:
Il do solemnly swear 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"
Before a desk piled with executive
business laid before him In the clos
Ing hours Of congress and surrounded
by members Of his official family, the
president reaffirmed with uplifted
hand and grave features his promise
TO uphold the constitution in whatever
crisis may confront the nation in the
momentous four years before It, Aft
or he had repeated solemnly the oath
taken first by Washington a century
and quarter ago, he kissed the Bible
ct the passage readingi
"The Lord Is our refuge; very
present help in time Of trouble"
Chief Justice White administered
the oath and was the first to extend
his congratulations Wringing The
presidents hand, the chief justice
hooked fervently into his face for a
moment and then said:
"Mr. President, / am very, very
happy"
James D. Maher, clerk Of the sll-
preme court, held out the Bible used
by Mr.. Wilson when he was inaugu'
rated as governor Of New Jersey. The
congratulations of the chief justice,
members of the cabinet and several
senators who were present occupied
but few minutes and soon after MI.
Nnd Mrs. Wilson left the capitol.
There were no preliminaries to the
simple ceremony which marked the
formal beginning of new presiden-
tial term. Accompanied by Mrs. VIII
son and Vance Mccormick, who man
aged the presidents campaign for re-
election, Mr.. Wilson had come to the
capitol two hours before to clear up
odds and ends of the executive bust
ness passed on to him by the expiring
congress. Secretary Tumulty and
most of the cabinet members had gath
cred in the room while the president
worked. AS he took the oath Mrs.
Wilson stood near him, dressed in
mourning because Of the recent death
of her sister.
At noon Monday the president took
the oath again ON the inaugural stand
before the capitol. He might have
omitted Sundays ceremony under
precedents, but he decided to comply
literally with the constitutional stip'
uiation that he take office at noon on
the fourth Of March.
Vice President Marshall did not take
the oath Sunday. He was sworn in for
his second term Monday at the special
session of the new senate with the
usual vice presidential inauguration
ceremony.

ZIMMERMAN ADMITS PLOT
Says 1t Was Intended Only In Event
Of Actual War Between
Countries.

Berlin.-(via Sayville.) 1.-THE fol-
lowing was given out by the Overseas
News Agency (the official German
news bureau:
Foreign Secretary Zimmerman was
asked by q staff member of the Over
seas News Agency about the report
that German plot had been revealed
to get Mexico to declare war against
the United States and to secure ia
pans aid against the United States.
Secretary Zimmerman answered:
"You understand that it is impos-
sible for me to discuss the facts Of
this revealed plot just at this mo-
ment, and under these circumstances.
I, therefore, may be allowed to limit
my answer to what is said in the Eng
lish reports, which certainly are not
inspired by sympathy with Germany
The English report expressly states
that Germany expected and wished to
remain on terms Of friendship with
the United States, but that we had
prepared measures of defense in case
the United States declared war
against Germany. | fail to see how
such plot is inspired by unfriendli
ness on our part. 1t would mean
nothing but that we would use means
universally admitted in war, in case
the United States declared war.
"The most important part of the
alleged plot is its conditions and
form. The whole plot falls flat to
the ground in case the United States
does not declare war against us. And
If we really, as the report alleges,
consider the possibilities Of hostile
acts Of the United States against us,
then we really had reasons to do so"

Part In Plot.

Washington.-Secretary Lansing au-

reference to the German-M exiCan-Jap-
anese intrigue:
I'VE do not believe that Japan has
had any knowledge of this or that she
would consider any proposition made
by an enemy"
AS to Mexico, the secretary says:
eve have confidence that Mexico
would not be a party to any such
agreement in view of the friendly re-
lations existing between this govern
ment and the de facto government Of
Mexico"
Secretary Lansing took great care
to exonerate both Japan and Mexico,
and said this government had no
knowledge that the proposal had been
conveyed through Mexico to Japan.
