I would certainly be lacking in feeling if I did not express some of the things that have come into my thought as I have taken part in these ceremonies. "There are many moving circumstances connected with this day, connected with the things it recalls, connected with the things that it suggests. I was reflecting, as we saw the light stream upon that beautiful statue; that it did not proceed from Liberty, but proceeded from the light we were throwing upon Liberty, and it occurred to me that, after all, it was a proper symbol of our life, because we can take to ourselves the dignity of Liberty only as we illustrate the fact and the true spirit of Transformed From Night-Shrouded Bulk to Glorious Goddess, to Permanently Blaze Freedom's Message, While Guns Road salute Amid Most Spectacular Illumination of City and Harbor Ever Witnessed — Deputations of Nations, States and Municipalities Honor Celebration of The World's Achievement. ___________ RUTH LAW'S 'PLANE A FIERY COMET.

The event marked by ceremonies of various kinds and participated in by innumerable dignitaries of city, State and Nation, was one of the most spectacular this city, accustomed as it is to spectacular events has witnessed, and there was not one hitch to mar the proceedings, from the early afternoon until late evening. By far the most attractive and delightful feature of the ceremonies was the performance of Miss Ruth Law, the aviatrix, who, at the moment that the light was turned on the statue and while the whistles were shrieking and the guns of warships were booming out their welcome to the more glorified Liberty, swept like a comet across the harbor, two streams of white magnesium flame trailing behind her aeroplane, and the glowing word "Liberty" shining down from her wings on the dark waters. City Aglow With Illumination. As The World, which raised money by popular subscription for the illumination of the statue, had intended, it was a night of illumination. Before the actual lighting of the statue, the great skyscrapers in the lower city had shone out brightly, every window with is light, presenting a scene that cannot be equalled [[equaled]] elsewhere in the world. Following the ceremony down the bay was a parade to the Waldorf, along a lane of golden light, the sides of which were banked deep with people, who cheered again and again. And everywhere the buildings glowed with the light and decoration. Beginning with the brief ceremony welcoming the President at the Pennsylvania Station yesterday after, the celebration ended with a banquet last night at the Waldorf, which was attended by more than 1,200 persons, and at which the President, the French Ambassador, the Mayor and others spoke, the public officials being lavish in their praise of The World for its initiative and its public spirit in undertaking the task that had just been brought to completion. When. at the President's signal the lights at the base of the statue first illumined Liberty, they shone also on a sixty-foot ribbon of white on which had been sewn by the teachers and pupils of the State Normal School silk flags of every nation. The ribbon was held across the base of the statue by Dr. William O. McDowell, who is known as "Peacemaker of the United Nations of the World" in the League of Peace, and Robert S.

Jusserand, French Ambassador, delivered a message from the President of the French Republic to the people of America when speaking at the banquet commemorating the permanent flood lighting of the Statue of Liberty. President Poincare's words to Americans follow: In offering, thirty years ago, to the Government and people of the United States the statue which welcomes and lights those who land in America, France had wished to honor liberty and the heroes fallen in her cause. It is for that sacred cause that the French people battle and suffer to-day; they feel sure that they can always count on those friends of theirs in America from whom they have already received so many tokens of sympathy and who have shown the world that they are still enamored of the same ideal. _____________________ Transformed From Night-Shrouded Bulk to Glorious Goddess, to Permanently Blaze Freedom's Message, While Guns Roar Salute Amid Most Spectacular Illumination of City and Harbor Ever Witnessed-Deputations of Nations, States and Municipalities Honor Celebration of The World's Achievement. |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| RUTH LAW's 'PLANE A FIERY COMET THEN WRITES "LIBERTY" ACROSS SKY. _________________________ Lighted Skyscrapers Make Downtown a Fairyland to Those Afloat-President and Wife, Cheered by Thousands on Streets, Head Auto Parade From Battery to Waldor, With Nearly Half the Route a Lane of Golden Light - 1,200 at Dinner Where Head of Nation Is the Principal Guest and Makes Speech of the Evening. _________________________ Transformed suddenly from a black and shapeless bulk against a rapidly darkening sky into a glorious goddess bathed in golden light, the Statue of Liberty, at 5.55 last night, was illuminated in a manner befittin its prominence, its position and the idea it symbolizes.
