COBTOIHI Paris. Symphony Orchestra at the Auditorium. Patriotic Concert on Tri-Color Day and Event, of Uniquely Timely Importance. MAJ. DUPONT SEXDS REGRETS. - Camp Logan, Tex Not. 11. The Charlotte Observer, Charlotte, N. C: I deeply regret not to be with you (or celebration of this glorious "flay and reception of French or chestra, MAJOR DUP05T. The coming ot the great Parte Symphony orchestra, tor a patriotic concert In the Auditorium thla even ing is an event of uniquely timely Im portance. - ! The tour of America by France's premier orchestra was planned many months ago and the date originally assigned for the Charlotte concert was Monday, October 21. Then the Influr y enza epidemic intervened and the tour of this section of the country had of necessity to be postponed. Later, today, November 12, was scheduled. Dimly, within the hopes of the ar rangers but practically beyond their expectations, peace " has come to a war-weary world- on the very eve of the date set for Charlotte's entertain ment of ' these distinguished French Siuslclans. :, , There Is scarcely a musical organi sation In the world which could mora fittingly or more insplrlngly help Tjnariotte celebrate the gladdest news for generations and the concert at the auditorium this evening will doubt less from a glorious climax to thirty six hours of epoch making celebra tion. Upon the arrival of the orchestra this morning, they will be met by a committee representing the city of. Charlotte-and the Charlotte Musio Festival association Who' will see to it that the city's hospitality la extend ed in most liberal fashion. A lunch eon will, be served at the chamber of commerce and In the evening before the concert a dlnne rat the Manufac turers' club.

' For years and years Wilhelm, who once was emperor of the Germans, has talked of, "the day," when he would celebrate his accession to the domina tion of the world. Yesterday Charlotte assisted In cele brating "the day" when kaiserism took its place in the discard, and the scenes on the streets were beyond de scription, "Hog wild" are the two words in the English language which most ade quately, describes the frame of mind In which Charlotte woke Monday. And throughout the day and well into the night this particular brand of insanity events the members of the7 orchestra, will visit Camp Greene where they will be officially received by Colonel Macomb and fda saff, .and there will follow this an extended sight-seeing tour by automobile, oyer the city. v . The advance1 sle of ' ticket hail beet) very gratifying and air Indica tions point to a representative audi ence at the Auditorium this evening. On account of the patriotic nature of the concert, it was announced yes terday that it had been decided to set apart a section of the auditorium tor the colored people and that Dr. Long, of Blddle university, would have charge of these seats. Those desiring them should communicate jnlth Dr. Long, it was stated officially. WILSON RIDES THROUGH MERRY-MAKING THRONGS . r Washington, Nov. 11. In the midst of Washington's peace celebration to. night, President Wilson with Mrs. Wilson seated beside him, drove down Pennsylvania avenue through throngs of shouting merrymakers. He was recognized by few. We outfit men, boys every age from "head foot." volumes, Haberdashery. . .... y,.

At Independence Square, that spot hallowed by the blood of countless pa triots "who fell at Kings Mountain, Cowpens, Guilford Courthouse and ribmberless other hard-fought fields, the activities' of the public centered. Never a moment's respite did the traffic officers at this point have through the day. And to be frank about It, there was no use in trying to maintain order because there was no such .word in the lexicon of hearts long wearied by the wait for the glad tidings from Europe. , In the grotlp above, picture No. i, made from the Central hotel balcony, shows a view of the Square, looking north into Tryon street, where much of the spectacular element of the TEXT OF THE GERMAN ARMlSTIpE TERMS (Continued From Page Three.) . anxtety aad mlsgivljjiB,. aWhen peace Is made, updrt whose promises and en gagements besides our own is it to restT Let us be perfectly frank with our selves and admit that these ques tions cannot be satisfactorily answer ed now or at once. But the moral Is not that there Is little hope of ' an early answer that will suffice. It is only that we must be patient and help ful and mindful above all of the great hope and confidence that lie at the heart of what is taking place. Ex cesses accomplish nothing. Unhappy Russia has furnished abundant recent proof of that Disorder immediately defeats itself. If excesses should oc cur, if disorder should for a time raise its head, a Sober second thought will follow and a day of constructive action, if we help and do not hinder. The present and all that It holds belongs to the nations and the peo ples who preserve their self-control and the orderly processes of their gov ernments; the future to those who prove themselves the true friends of mankind. To conquer with arms is to make only a' temporary conquest; to conquer the world by earning its esteem is , to make permanent con. quest. I am confident that the na tions that have learned the discipline of freedom and that have settled with self-possession to its ordered practice are now about to make conquest of world by the sheer power of example and of friendly helpfulness. ' The peoples who have but Just come out from under the yoke of arbitrary government and who are now com ing at last into their freedo mwill never find the treasures of liberty they are in search of If they look for them by the light of the torch. They will find that every pathway that Is stained with the blood of their own brothers leads to the wilderness, not to the sea of their hope. They are now face to face with their ini tial' test. . We must hold the light steadily until they find themselves. AAd in the meantime, if it be possible, we must establish a peace that will justly define their place among the nations, remove all fear of their nelghobrs and of their former mas ters, and enable them to live in se curity and contentment when they have set their own affairs in order. I, for one, do not doutt their purpose or their capacity. There are some happy signs that they know and .will choose the way of self-control and peaceful accommodation. If they do, we shall put our aid at their lisposal In every way that we can. It they do not, we must await with patience and sympathy the .awakening and re covery that will assuredly come at last.

At times the fun so furious that it appeared that accidents of grave na ture could not be avoided. But with a safetywhtch could almost be spoken of as providential, they were escaped and the royal good will which pre vailed during the day and night hut added to the dramatic setting of the celebration which the people took Into their own hands and proceeded, each one in his own way, without leadership, rhyme or reason. rvl Hall, Walter D., K.
