RAPPROCHEMENT IS SEEN WITH FRANCE AT VATICAN Expected Dismissal of Ambassador at Paris by Herriot Has Failed to Materialize. to The Star and ROME, February 14.—It is the im- pression the Vatican that new ne- gotlal ns are afoot between France and the Holy See regarding the ques- tion of the French embassy at Rome. Whereas the Holy See and even the Pope expected Premier Herriot to hint that the presence of the papal repre- sentative, Mgr. Ceretti, at Parls was undesirable, after the Pope's strong allocution last Sunday, nothing of the d has happened. The impression was much strength- ened toddy by news that the French Ambassador to the Holy See, who awalits the Senate’s vote and instruc- tions to pack up and depart from Rome, gave a diplomatic luncheon party at noon.

The inauguration of a President of the United States occurs on March 4, every four years, and each Congress es by constitutional limitation on March 4 every two years at 12 o'clock meridian. The inaugural proceedings follow immediately after 12 o'clock. At the outset it must be made clear that there are two distinct phases of the inaugural exerclses—the official pro- ceedings at which the President takes the oath of office, which is the only es- sential act, and the civic celebration, which includes the inaugural parade. The Senate, which is a continuing convened by the outgo- n special session, and at the moment of final adjournment of the old Congress the Senaté immediately convenes under the proclamation of the President in this special eession. .After the formal proceedings of swearing in the Vice President and the new, mem- bers of the Senate present the Vice President directs the sergeant-at-arms to carry out the orders of the Senate for the inauguration of the President of the United States on the east front of the Capitol. Takes Constitational Oath. The President-elect, escorted by the Chief Justice of the United States and the associate justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, and accom- panied by the joint committee on ar- rangements, composed of three Sena- tors and three members of the national House of Representatives, then proceed to the platform ecrected on the central steps at the east front of the Capitol, where & throng of many thousands of persons from all over the United States are waiting in the plaza. Following the presidentfal party coms members of the diplomatic corps, the official representatives of other nations, the general of the ¥, the chief of naval operations, tief of staff of the Army, the commandant of the Marine Corps, the members of the Senate, preceded by the Vice President; the sergeant-at- arms and the secretary of the Sen- ate, the members of the House of Representatives, preceded by the Speaker and clerk, and the other guests of the Senate. The marshal of the Supreme Court carries a Bible, which is placed be- fore the President-elect, ‘who opens it at any point he may indicate. The Chief Justice administers the oath prescribed in the Constitution—which, by the way, is the only oath spe- cifically prescribed in the Constitu- tion for any one; the other officials take the oaths prescribed in statutes, while the President the oath distinctively the Constitution takes prescribed Inaugural Address Follows. The Constitution says: “Before he enters on the execution of. his office, he shall take the following oath or affirmation: ‘I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that 1 will faithfully execute the office of President of the United {States, and will to the best of my ability preserve, the Constitution States.’ That is the one essential act of the inauguration—all the rest is scenery. Having taken the oath, the President proceeds to deliver the in- augural address. But preliminary to these proceed- ings at the Capitol careful prepara- tions had to be made. You, of course, know that there were three stages or dates in the election of the Presi- dent—tha first, on November 4, when the individual voters cast their ballots; the second, -on the second Monday in January, when the presi- dential electors cast their votes in their respective State capitols, and, third, on February 11, when the offl cial returns from the several States were opened and the vote tabulated and offictally counted by Congress in joint session.

When Congress closes at noon on March 4 the members of the House of Representatives proceed in a body to the Senate chamber, where the outgoing Vice President, or the Pres- ident pro tempore, delivers his vale- dictory. The incoming Vice Presi- dent then proceeds to the rostrum and takes the oath of office. In the meantime the President- elect (accompanied by the retiring President when there is a change of administration) is escorted to the Capitol by the'inaugural committee and conducted to the President's room, until the Senate is fully or- ganized, and the official procession to the east front of the Capitol starts. The official proceedings close with the delivery of the inaugural ad- dress and the civic celebration be- gins. The fnaugural parade is formed, headed by an inaugural chairman se- lected by the President.

The 15th anniversary of the found- ing of the Boy Scouts of America, celebrated here last evening by the District of Columbia Council in the auditorium of the Central High School, was marked by the presen- tation of honor badges and an ad- dress by Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune, commandant of the United States Marine Corps. The meeting, broadcast by the station WCAP, was also featured by music from the Marine Band, which rendered patriotic airs. Songs and cheers, were also given by the enthu- siastic scouts themselves. L. A. Snead, president of the local counctl, presided. Praised by Lejeune. Gen. Lejeune praised the work of the Scout organization and stated that the only reason he missed the privilege of being a member was due to the fact that there waem't such an organization when he was a boy. He stre the importance of moral courage on the assembled youths, stating that the boy who could resist temptation from an older boy proved himself to possess more moral cour- age than the men who faced bullsts in France. Two scouts were singularly deco- rated when Ben Morgan and Leroy Miller were awarded with life-saving honor certificates for having saved Cole E. Morgan, the father of the former Scout, from drowning last summar at Camp Rooseveit. Morgan is an Fagle Scout of Troop Number 42, and Miller {5 a first-class Scout of Troop' 100.

ANNAPOLIS, February 14.—The flag which was carried at the peak of the frigate Novara, taking the Emperor Maximilian to Mexico at the beginning of his fll-fated es.pedition into that country, has, by a strange ohance, been brought to this city, and is in the custody of the State au- thorities. The flag, the ensign of the rank of rear admiral which Maximilian held as commander of the Austrian Nav. was taken back to Trieste, in Austria, from which Maximillan had started, by the captain of the Novara, which at the time was bearing some of the officery returning from the expedition. It was given to a citizen of Trieste in token of appreciation of his serv- fces to the refugee, and passed on by bim to his daughter, Fraulein Ada Korbl, who gave It to Maj. Thomas G. McNicholas of Baltimore, an officer in the 115th Infantry, assigned to the American Rellef at Trleste. The flag has been examined by Comdr. Byron McCandless, U. S. N, one of the greatest authoritles on flags, and he has expressed the opinion that the flag is genuine and that the account of {ts history is correct in every detail. Maximilian landed at Vera .Cruz on May 28, 1864, and, with the help of French and Itallan troops, maintain- od a rule over a part of Mexico until the early Summer of 1867. He was captured at Queratero, and with his faithful generals, Miramon and Mejia, on June 19, 1867, fell before a firing squad at the Meadow of the Bells near that city.
