WASHINGTON", March 4. (A. U
Dradlord, IT. P. StoTf Correspondent.)
Wilson left the white house for. the
last time a halting, ashen-faced fig
ure, exerting every ounce of his will
power. A, crowd gathered outside the
white house grounds to see him and
Harding leave for the capitol, and
stood hushed to silence by the spec
tacle of a bent, gray-haired man shuf
fling to his automobile. Attendants
had to lift his feet to the steps and
hilp him inside. During his ride to
the capitol, Wilson was oblivious to
the crowds which cheered intermit
tently. Not once did the president
raise his hat, apparently thinking the
tribute paid was all for harding. But
the old fighting spirit still' stayed
with him. In the last few minutes of
his term he killed two bills with which
he didn't agree the Immigration re
striction and the army appropriation
bills. ' '"'

ural ceremonies. When he had dis-

dent, a bodyguard had to lift him
from the chair to his feet . He then
hobbled slowly out of the president'
room, went to his new home and be-
came a private citizen. Members of
the family and the cabinet were gath
ered at his home.
The presidential party left the
white house after staying there half
an hour. Miss Margaret Wilson and
members of the Boiling family were
on the second- floor watching the ar
rival of the Harding party. Faces of
servants were also seen In the win-
dlow-r, Photxigraphera "wer!e rm.t

After the senate ceremony, assem

(United Press fe'taff Correspondent J
WASHINGTON, Mar. 4. (C, P.)
A solemn. waiting that America stand
ready to resist any attempted rever
sion of civilization was sounded by
President Warren G. Harding In his
inaugural address today.
America, he said, seeks no 'part in
directing the destinies of the ' old
world, but she is ready to enter an '
association of nations for conference
and counsel which will not Impair the
sovereignity of the I'nited States. 1
He declared flatly against perman
ent military alliances.
"Our eyes will never be blind to a
developing menace, our ears never deaf
to the call of civilization," he said.
"There was no American failure to
resist the attempted reversion of civi
lization, there will be no failure today
or tomorrow;'"-ia-4iadded : Wte.
"We shall give no people Just cause to
make war upon us." he said at another
point. "We hold no national prejudic
es; we entertain no npirlt of revenge.
we do not hate, we do not covert, we
dream of no conquest nor boast of
armed powers. If, despite this atti
tude, war is forced upon us, I earnestly
hope a way may be found which will
unify our individual and collective
strength and , consecrate all America.
materially and spiritually, body nnd
soul, to national defense, .
"I can vision the Ideal republic.
where every man and woman is called
under the flag for assignment to duty
for what-.-; service, military or civic,
the individual is beet fitted; where we
may call to universal service every
plant, agency of facility, all in the
sublime sacrifice for country, and not
one penny of war profits Shall Indure
to the benefit of private Individual,
corporation or combination, but all
above the normal shall flow into the
defense chest of the nation.
The league of nations was not men
tioned, but schemes of "super-government"
were unsparingly denounced.
The new executive pledged himself
to recommend a way 40 approximate
disarmament and expressed a dVestre
to join with other nations la plans fur
mediation, conciliation and arbitration,
clarification of international law and
establishment of a world court.
Hut aside from this general Inter,
rational program, lTesident HardinJ,
Pinned his hope on a new era of the
golden rule which should be crowned
with the autocracy of service,
"Humanity hungers for Internation.
al peace," he said, "and we crave it
with all mankind. The earth la
thirsting for the cup of good will." -
Enlarging on th'is doctrine of good
will, he raised a fervent grayer for
peace both among nations and among
men. "Mankind needs a worldwide
benediction of understanding," he said,
After outlining his international
program in a general way, the new
President approached the climax of hl
address.
"I would rejoice to acclaim the era
of the golden rule and crown it with
the autocracy of service," he said. "1

the agencies of government are called

I paused and In the hush that snrea.l

solemn pledge: . ,
I accept my part with slngle-mlnd-

spirit and Implore the favor and guid
ance of Cid In' his heaven. With
theso I am unafraid and -confidently

"I have taken the solemn 'oath of
office on that passage of holy writ
where In it Is asked: 'What doth the
Lord require of thee but to do justly,
and to love merry and to wnlk humbly
with Thy God?- This, 1 plight to God
nd country." '
The progress of the nation, he as
serted, proves the wisdom of the policy
of non-involvement in old world af
lairs. "Confident of our ability to work
out our own dentiny and jealously re
garding our right to do so, we no

"We do not mean to be entangled."
