C., APRIL 6, U.S. DECLAREDWAR | T3YEARSAGD TODAY . | Wilson Signed Proclamation at 1:11 0’Clock Follow- ing Action by Congress. 1 I Thirteen years ago today at 1:11 o'clock President Wilson, seated in the Executive Mansion ard using a pen handed him by his wife, signed a docu- | ment proclaiming a state of war be- tween the United States and Germany. The warm, fair weather forecast for today bathed the Capital on that earlier | April 6 as President and Mrs. Wilson were walking in the Northwest section at the hour the Senate was concluding ! its consideration of the war declaration. The House passed the resolution at 3:14 | am. and at 12:14 pm. the Senate| having approved, Vice President Mar-, shall affixed his signature. An hour later gaint wheels of a war machine were in operation. i War Dead Paid Tribute. i Thirteen years later—yesterday— | solemnity and reverence, and not tumult of mad enthusiasm, marked a meeting of veterans of the World War, includ- ing high ranking officers of the Army, | who gathered on the steps of the Sta War and Navy Building to observe | Army day.

The structure Congress intended to set up for an efficient’ military system in passing the national defense act in 1920 has been “practically wrecked” by the Budget Bureau and the House and Senate appropriations committees, Senator Daniel F. Steck, of Iowa, de- clared yesterday before the Military | Order of the World War. Speaking at & luncheon given at the Carlton Hotel in connection with the observance of Army day, Senator Steck, who is & World War veteran and & Democrat, asserted that treatment of the Military Establishment has shown | that “the military policy of this country is not in the hands of the Secretary of ‘War, but is being directed by the Direc- tor of the Budget.” Guarantee of Peace. Senator Steck declared before a large group of World War veterans that “the surest guarantee we have against future conflict is to let the world know that we are prepared and disposed to defend ourselves.” “The national defense act of 1920 provided the Nation for the first time in its history with a basis upon which to structure which the national defense act sought to bulld upon our dearly bought World War experience.” Senator Steck sald that although the defense act provides for a regular army of not to exceed 280,000, appropriation bills since 1922, the year the Budget Bureau was established, have limited the Army to 125,000 and not permitted that limit to be attained. The enlisted strength of the Army has ranged from | 109,000 in 1926 to 122,000 as of Janu- | ary 1 last, he said. Asks Minimum Limit. Senator Steck urged that a minimum strength be prescribed for the Army, instead of a maximum strength, “thus compelling the Bureau of the Budget to recommend sufficient appropriations to maintain this strength.” “As the practice has been during the | past seven or eight years,” he sald, “a maximum strength has been provided | for by legislation, but in no year have the appropriations permitted "the War Department to maintain that Army at | this strength.” i Senator Steck said he was certain President Hoover “truly reflected the determination of the country” when he declared that the two co-operating factors in the maintenance of peace are the building of good-will by wise and sympathetic handling of interna- tional relations, and the adequate pre- paredness for defense.

The exercises yesterday were under the auspices of the Military Order of the World War. Rear Admiral T. J. Cowie delivered an address and read statements from President Hoover, Sec- retary of War Hurley, Acting Secretary of the Navy Jahncke and Gen. Charles P. Summerall, chief of staff. Hoover Lauds Fighters. President Hoover wrote: “The great citizen components of the Army of the United States constitute an organized expression of patriotic citizenship. On Army day I wish to express the grati- tude of the Nation to those who exposed their lives to the dangers of the battle- fleld and those who fell in defense of our national ideals.” Admiral Cowie told the audience that America stands for peace. “Every citi- zen should be made to realize.” he said, “that there is no body of men in the world who are more anxious for peace than those who, in time of war, are of necessity required to put their lives in Jeopardy.” | Thirteen years ago_to attracted by the beauty of Spring, President and Mrs. Wilson left the White House in the, morning_and walked out Six- | teenth street. Without overcoat, Mr. Wilson swung a walking stick and fre- quently pointed out to Mrs. Wilson displays of the flag. They walked out Massachusetts avenue to Twentieth street and paused in front of 1308, the house in which they were married. Returning by way of N street. they stopped momentarily at the British embassy to watch while children of the ambassador worked at making a garden in the grounds, and later, on Connecticut avenue, paused to exchange | greetings with Justice Holmes of the Supreme Court. The last words of debate were being spoken in the Senate as they walked. Farther along Connecticut avenue Mrs, Wilson saw a gown she admired and Mr. Wilson was persuaded to enter a shop while she inspected it. At about 1 o'clock they returned to the White House. At 11 minutes after 1 o'clock formal notice of the action of the Senate and House was conveyed to Mr. Wilson in the form of the war declara- tion and he signed it.
