When the president said: "Thus the war comes to an end,", every person rose os. though they had been drilled to do it, at that precise moment.

Chief Justice White usually was the first to applaud when applause came. He had his hands a few inches from each other in constant readiness to clap them. Those who expected the president to' indulge in any flights of oratory were disappointed, but he showed the emotional stress he was under several times when his voice broke and he had to repeat parts of sentences.
