SENATOR PHiPPs ASKS
AID FOR VETERANS

Under the provisions of bill Just
introduced by Senator Phipps, veter-
ans of all wars would be cared for
in government hospitals. without re-
gard to the nature or origin OF their
disabilities. The Senator is one of
those who believe that adequate pro-
vision should be made for all veter-
ans who are sick or disabled. and
that the Governments solicitude
should not be confined to those who
served in any particular war or to
those suffering from some particular
kind OF disease or injury.
In presenting this measure. Senator
Phipps has the support Of President
Coolidge. who recommended such ac-
tion in his message to Congress last
December. and Of officials in the U.
s. Veterans Bureau, who point out
that at present there are $500 vacant
beds in Government hospitals.

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE RECALLS
WILSON'S NOBLE DEEDS
IN PROCLAMATION

The following is the proclamation
OF President Coolidge on the death of
Woodrow Wilson, which occurred on
sunday, February 3. 1924;
THE death of Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States from
March 4, 1913, to March A, 1921. which
occurred at Has o'clock today at his
home in Washington, District of Col
umbia, deprives the country of most
distinguished citizen. and is an event
which causes universal and genuine
sorrow. To many of us it brings the
sense of profound personal bereave-
ment.
His early profession as a lawyer
was abandoned to enter academic
life. In this chosen field he attained
the highest rank as an educator. and
has left his impress upon the intel
lectual thought of the country. From
the presidency of Princeton univer
sity he was called by his fellow citi
zens to be the chief executive of the
state of New Jersey. The duties of
this high Office he so conducted as to
win the confidence of the people of
the United States, who twice elected
him to the chief magistracy of the
republic. AS president of the United
states he moved by an earnest desire
to promote the best interests of the
country as he conceived them. His
acts were prompted by high motives
and his sincerity of purpose cannot
be questioned. He led the natior
through the terrfnc struggle of the
world war with lofty idealism which
never failed him. He gave utterance
10 the aspiration of humanity with an
eloquence which held the attention OF
al the earth and made America new
and enlarged influence in the destiny
Of mankind.
In testimony Of the respect in which
his memory is held by the govern
ment and the people of the United
states. do hereby direct that the
fiage of the White House and OF the
several departmental buildings be dis.
played at half mast for u period of
thirty days and that suitable military
and naval honors under orders of the
secretary Of war and the navy may
be rendered on the day of the funeral.
