VETERANS OF BLUE
TO ESCORT WILSON
INAUGURATION DAY
Will be Both a Picturesque and
Patriotic Feature of the
Celebration.
DISTANCE TO BE SHORTENED
This is Done in Order That the
Walk Will Not be Too Long
for 0Id Soldiers. Cadets Will
Also Participate.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 25.-A
patriotic and picturesque feature OF
the ceremonies attending the second
inauguration of President Wilson and
Vice President Marshall March 4
will be supplied by the rapidly thin
ming ranks of the Grand Army of the
Republic At former inaugurals these
venerable veterans have marched in
the escorting division which accom-

the general parade.
Recently when the increasing fee
blcness of the grim and gray old boys
in blue was called to the attention o.
Inaugural Chairman Robert N. Har-
per, he conferred with the G. A. r.
with tho result that the length Of
march of the veterans is to BE- great
ly shortened in what may he their
last inaugural procession This will
add an atmosphere OF pataos to the
slowly moving picture they will pre-
sent while passing ,ne presidents re
house. and the impulse will como tl
the beholders TO bare their heads be
fore the passing battle flags in their
tatters of glory, and that ta!isman o
duty and service, the little bronze but
ton.

the outgrowth of an incident of the
first Inauguration of President Ulysses
s. Grant, March 4, 1869, when group
of his former fighting men who had
followed his fortunes from the Viii
derness to Appomattox, insisted in
marching behind the carriage of their
chieftain to the east capitol portico

THE LAW SPEECH
ANSWERS WILSON
WILL NEVER REALIZE AIMS UN-
TIL THE ENEMY HAS BEEN
DEFEATED.

LONDON, Jan. 25.-The Westmin-
ster Gazette today expresses the opin-
ion that last nights speech of Andrew
,BOnGr Law, chancellor of the exche-
quer, is the best answer yet made to
the address OF. President Wilson.
President WILSON, says the news
spaper, has described his ideals in
terms which as nearly as possible
correspond with our aims, but speak
ing as neutral he has suggested
that neither side ought to score a vic
tory. He, having to keep the balance
poised between the belligeren.s, may
say that to his own people without
otfense. We. in the middle of the con
fiict, are obliged to reply that there
is no possibility cf realizing our aims
or his unless we succeed in defeating
the enemy
Arguing that The Germans, Ii they

old methods, the Westminster Ca
zetto continues:
1T is our business that this does
not happen, but meantime we have
nothing but good will for President
Wilson or any other neutral who at
tempts here and now to work out
methods whereby when this war is
over, peace may be firmly establish
ed.
ligerents may be greatly facilitated
when the time comes if the nutlals,
under the lead of the United States,
have clear IDEAS of the manner in
which the ideals proclaime by Pres,
ident Wilson can be put into rrac-
tice If they can show us the frame
work of a new international structure
guaranteeing nations against a"Gres-
sion and securing a free peaceful cx-
istence for nationalities it will be
much easier to adjust the details at
the peace conference"
The Westminster Gazette expresses
the opinion that the presidents
speech should receive an Official re-
ply from the allies.
The Globe, in it's comment. SAYS:
"The only league of peace which
can be effected until mankind in gen
eral has ceased to contemplate the
possibility of war, is a league which

That is the league which the allies
are fighting to establish. and to which
the great nation which Dr. Wilson
rules will, we trust, some day give
its powerful support"

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Jan. 25.-
The battleship Mississippi was sue
cessfully launched at 1927 O'Clock
this morning in the presence of Sec
retary of the Navy Daniels, other dis
tin hished visitors and a crowd of
mor1 than $4,000 spectators.
Miss Camille McBeath, of Meridian,
Miss, christened the new mistress

BILE movement of the great hull, she
crashed the bottle of champagne
against the bow of the steel monster,
cxclaiming in a low but clear voice:
81 christen thee Mississippi"
Threatening rain and damp, cold
fog made it very uncomfortable for
the launching party and all those
present.
The battleship Mississippi, which
was launched here today, is the third
American warship to bear that name,
Secretary of the Navy Daniels said in
an address at the luncheon given by
the builders. 1t was on the first Mis-
sissippi that Commodore Perry cross
ed the Pacific to Japan and opened the
commerce of that country to America
and the world.
''The first Mississippi won great re-
nown for both the navy itself and the
flag it flew" Secretary Daniels said.
ats record was always an inspiration
to the second Mississippi and the
third Mississippi, it is needless to say,
will seek to emulate it's courage and
achievements.
Besides Matthew Calbraith Perry,
the decks of the old Mississippi were
trod by another sea fighter, who was
destined to become world figure.
Lieut.. George Dewey was executive
officer of the Mississippi when she
helped Farragut to fight his way past
the forts below New Orleans and
forced the formidable Confederate
ram Manassas to run aground and
then destroy her with a couple of
broadsides. Later the Mississippi ran
aground during the bold attack on
Fort Hudson, where she caught fire
and finally blew up. Captain Smith,
in his report, commended Lieutenant
Dewey for his coolness and gallantry
on this occasion.
The second Mississippi rendered
her service in time of peace, con-
tinued the secretary. She was au-
thorized in 1903 and was sold to
Greece on July s, 1914.
The new Mississippi, Mr.. Daniels
said will have ten times the displace-
ment of the first Mississippi and her
batteries will have 1000 times the
destructive power of the batteries of
the old ship.
