 ATTEND CEREMONY
TRepublican A. P.leased wirel

WASHINGTON, March A. Eight storm tossed years in the presidency, filled with moments and scenes that will live forever in human history, ended today for Woodrow Wilson, just plain Woodrow Wilson now" as he smilingly asserted Under his own roof again as a private citizen, he rested tonight with his burdens of state transferred to other shoulders and the shouting and tumult of public place behind him. And through a day that had taxed his broken physical powers greatly, he came smilingly with no hint at regret in his retirement.
 There was but one incident when that cheerful mood seemed to fail. Mir. Wilson had been telling Senator Knox that he would not witness the in auguration of Vice President Coolidge, as he doubted his ability to negotiate the few steps he must climb
 "The senate has thrown me down. he said to the Pennsylvania senator, in reference to battles of the past and the peace treaty, but I am not going to fall down."
 A moment later some one called his 1 attention to the fact that Senator Lodge had arrived as head of the joint committee to inform the president that ] the sixty sixth congress stood ready | for adjournment.
 Mir Wilson turned toward the mar
 who led the fight against the treaty His face lost it's smile as he listened to the senator's formal report and there ! was in his tone a touch of cool for
 mality as he said:
 "I have no further communication
 to make. I appreciate your courtesy
