WASHINGTON, Tuesday, March G.
—President Wilson took the oath of
office yesterday in public before a
vast crowd which parked the plaza on
the east front of the capitol, at 12:45
o'clock in the afternoon, standing in
the cold wind. It rained most of the
morning but the sun broke through
the clouds just as Wilson was taking
the oath and the weather was clear
most of the time during the inaugural
address.
* Vice-President Marshall took the
oath of office in the senate chamber
just a few moments before Wilson
was sworn in publicly but the presi
dent had taken the oath privately on
Sunday.
The president 1 econsecrated his ser
vices to the nation.
With a new consecration to the na
tion’s service, Wilson touched on in
ternational affairs and declared there
could be no turning back from the
tragical events of the last 1*0 months,
which had brought to Americans a
new responsibility as citizens of the
world.
Mrs. Wilson .stood a few feet away
as her husband was taking the oath
and was seated while he spoke.
