President’s Tresident Coulidge's statement, part. follows: “Iuring the world war the volun- teer effort of the American people to assist the government in providing for the welfare of our military and naval forces at home, on the seas, 2nd overseas, was expressed largely through the American Red Cross, which also rendered incaleulable as- sistance to the armed ferees of onr associates in the war and to their civilian populations within the in- arcas during and after the Statement. in war. “The recent calamity which befell Japan, when millions of her people suffered dire distress following the | earthquake, has served again to re- veal to the people of the nation the readiness of the American Red Cross ately for service in & ereat emergency and to apply the Rencrous gifts of our people to the amelioration of human suffering. In Tendering nee wherever duty American Red Cros: in addition to its work in foreign lands, &dministers relicf in times of disas- ter in our own country, helps to Solve the problem of publid health, is ever active in other humanitarian projects and, above allrenders wel- come assistance to the,government in the care of our disabled veterans of the world war.

Preceding the dedication eere-i monies there was a parade, in which more than 5,000 men and women, veterans of all wars, participated. The stamlards of the American Jegion posts, numbering over 100, from five states. were carrled by the former service men and women. In- terspersed in the line of march were the regimental bands of Fort Thomas, Ky. Fort Benjamin Har- wison, Indianapolis, 147th infantry and the Naval Reserve Corps. ! The invocation was delivered by the Rev. E. C. Clemons, national chap- laln of the American Legion. The formai presentation of the memorial was made to the government and ! the people of the country by John | R. Quinn, national commander of the legion. The veil which enshrouded the monument was drawn by Michael | Aaronsohn, who was blinded while ! serving under Col. Galbraith, In the | Argonne offensive. ! The speech of acceptance on behalf of the United States government and President Coolidge was made by MaJ. Gen. J. H.

Washington churches and veterans associations to hold memorial services in_Arlington Amphitheater at 3 o'clock this afternoon.

WILSON DENOUNCES ISOLATION POLICY OF U. S. AS COWARDLY ‘Thus, and only thus, can we to the true traditions of policy. return Ameri In several instances Mr.' Wilson changed the text of his prepared ad- dress, as given above. Twlice he more strongly emphasized the intent of his remarks by departing from his manus Attacking America's polic lation, he characterized it being ‘“deeply’ ignoble and cow- The word “cowardly” did not r in the prepared copy. When he declared “the victory was won, chiefly by the indomitable spirit and ungrudging sacrifice of our incom- parable soldiers,” to more strikingly emphasize his compliment to the American warrior, he repeated—"I say won. Two of the stations in thi; most powerful radio part of the country picked up Mr. Wilson's address, amplified it to the most extreme limits of electrical and mechanical possibilities, and flashed it across the nation. The first station to receive it from the quiet library of Mr. Wil- son's home here was WCAP, directed by the Chesapeake and Potomac Tel phone Company. From therc it was sent by wire to the American Tele- graph and Telephone Compan_’s sta- ion in New York, WEAF, amplified again, and broadcast from the eastern metropolis. It was just 8:32 o'clock that the voice of the former President broke a_tense interval of nerve-racking silence thut lasted for more than five minutes between the announcer's introduction of the speaker and the minute his first words came with startling suddenness from the mys- terious waves of the air. For a brief second it seemed that the announcer was speaking again; then the vitrolte words of the former President burned rapidly from the depths of the scal- loped horn of the loud spesker. An orchestra in New York had just finished a_moving rendition of “The Song of India” when a volce an- nounced that tbe next person to be heard would be an announcer, speak- ing direct from Mr. Wilson's library, Tt was just 8:26 o'clock when a voice said: “Mr. Woodrow Wilson will now speak to you' Just what went on in that vast, unseen audience that waited eagerly in every corner of the country, one can only guess. But the scene could not have been very much unlike that in the radio room of the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele- phone Company here, where a few officials and newspaper men heard the address & ! Crowd Walts Tensely. A minute passed; men and women moved uneasily in their.chairs. Two more minutes dragged slowly past and one woman began twisting her silken handkerchief into shreds, con- fiding in the ear of her companion that she was “too excitad to breathe.” Some one attempted to pass a_joke about the silence but cnly the silence answered him. Pive minutes had gone by like five hours and there were expressions of perplexed worry on the ces of some in the quiet little group. Ser-r-r-r-r-rup, groaned some eerie element from somewhere in the black throat of the mute horn. Silence. Sque-e-e-e-ek, bop. bop, bop, mocked that same something. Then, faintly at first, but growing louder and loud- er as it pronounced word after word, a volce came through the alr. It was the voiceof Woodrow Wilson, speak- ing direct to the people over whom he had presided in one of their most trying hours for the first time since he left the White House, broken in health. : Voice Grows Stromger. But it was not the fine, firm voice of the President Wilson who had been one of the ruling powers at Paris while the allles were writing anew the map of Europe. At times it was difficult to understand the speaker clearly; his voice seemed a trifle thiek. 'That it was partly due, how- ever, to faulty amplification seemed to be proved when the voice became suddenly very strong, almost close at hand. As the:address progressed Mr. Wilson began: to talk more firmly and emphasize important words with more firmness. Every now and then the voice of a woman could be heard prompting the speak Apparently, it was_that of Mrs. Wilson. It seemed that Mr. Wil- son had memorized his prepared ad- dress and was assisted by his wife on the few occasions that he appeared to hesitate. The same theory would also have accouated for the several deviations in the typewritten address given to newspaper correspondents at the Wilson home immediately after the address and the former Presi- dent's actual words. Spoke Five Minutes. Exactly five minutes were required | for Mr. Wilson to complete his ad- dress. As he concluded with the words, “Thus, and only thus, can we return to the true traditions of Amer- ica,” once again the voice of the prompter behind the scenes came faintly from out of space. Then the voice of Mr, Wilson asking, “That's the end, isn‘t it?* Two resounding "blop, blops” from the lean neck of the loud speaker and Woodrow Wil- son's emergence from the retirement of private life had been accomplished. ‘Today he will receive from his friends and admirers from every part of the country perhaps the greatest tribute since his return from Paris, when several thousand persons will parade to his home in the third Arm- istice day pilgrimage. The former President and Mrs. Wilson will re- ceive their admirers at their front steps, and it is expected that Mr. Wilson will address them extem- | poraneousiy. Although twice before admirers of Mr. Wilson have held a demonstra. ! tion before his home on Armistice da; never has the occasion taken such national aspect as it will tomorrcw. Special delegations are coming from distant cities especially to partici- pate and a band will head their pro- cesslon out Connecticut avenue from Du Pont_circle to S street, and then to the Wilson home. —_— ALLEGED KISSING DOCTOR AVOIDS JAIL BY APPEAL By the Associated Press.
