 tion of their terms, and other distin- guished guests made their way to the inaugural stand.
 Inauguration of the President. l The procession, headed by the presi- dent-elect, wound through the east sen ate door, the main corridors of the senate and through the rotunda of the capitol to the place set for the oath taking. On reaching the inaugural stand, Woodrow Wilson took a place directly in front of Edward D. White, the chief justice of the United States, and the chief clerk of the Supreme court, James D. Maher. The sergeant at-arms of the senate and the congress sional committee on arrangements were | immediately on the left of the presi- dent. The vice president, the associ- ate justices of the Supreme Court and | the members of the senate sat upon his 1 right.
 When all were assembled Chief Jus tice White, having in his right hand the open Bible upon which the hands of many former presidents have rested, advanced to Woodrow Wilson and ad- ministered to him this oath, which is imposed by the Constitution of the l United States:
 "You do solemnly swear that you will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States and will to the best of your ability, pre- serve, protect and defend the Consti- tuition of the United States" Woodrow Wilson said in a firm l voice, 'I do." and he became for the second time president of the United l States of America.
 Then the president delivered his in- augural address and on it's conclusion he made his way with Mrs. Wilson to his carriage and was driven slowly to the White House at the head of the procession formed In honor of the in- I augural ceremonies.
 Luncheon Deferred for Parade.
 In years past the presidential party always has entered the White House for luncheon prior to the review of | the parade from the stand in front of | the executive mansion. This invaria- | bly, in the past caused such delay l that it was decided this year to do away with the luncheon feature. President Wilson with Mrs. Wilson, the Vice President and Mrs. Marshall,
 and two members of his cabinet went immediately to the little inclosed struc- ture, much like sentry box, which had been built in the middle of the great grandstand in front of the White
 House and from which the chief exc
 cutive viewed the paraders.
 It was the gravity of the situation
 in connection with our foreign affairs
 which gave to the inaugural ceremo- nies their serious tone and patriotic features. The parade of the day was
 largely military in it's nature, although
 there were in the procession many bodies which in a sense might be said
 to represent the spirit of industrial
 preparedness of the United States for
 any eventuality which might come.
 Makeup of the Procession. At the forefront of the parade as 1t
 left the capitol were, of course, the
 president and the vice president of the
 United States with their guards of
 honor. Major General Hugh l.. Scott,
 D. S. army, was the grand marshal of the occasion. George R. Linkins was
 the marshal of the civic organizations which took part in the marching cere- monies.
 Immediately preceding the carriages
 of the presidential and vice presiden-
 tial parties and of Col. Robert N. Har-
 per, inaugural chairman, was the fa-
 nous United States Marine band. The
 president had as his guard of honor the squadron of the Second United | States cavalry,
 The Vice President and Mrs. Mar
 shall were escorted by the Black Horse troop of the Culver Military academy, Indiana, the state of which the vice president and his wife are natives
 The West Point cadets and the An
 napolis cadets took part in the process sion. In addition to these young sol- dier and sailor organizations there was as large representation of the forces of the United States as properly could be spared from post and garrison duty. Il In addition there were troops from
 Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
 Maryland, Virginia, and some other
 states of the Union representing the
 National Guard.
 \ A patriotic and picturesque feature of the ceremonies attending the inau- guration was supplied by the rapidly thinning ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic. In years past the sol
 dfers of the war between the states have made the entire length of the line , of march, but this year the distance
