GALLINGER SCORES
PRESIDENT WILSON
For Declining to Come to Guil
ford Battleground Cele
bration. President Wilson was taken
sharply to task in the Senate
by Senator Gallinge?, Republican
ui New. Hampshire for declining
ic accept an invitation extend
on to him by a large and influen
tial! delegation to deliver the
Fourth of July address at the
Guilford Battle Ground on the
ground that.it would be "un
netrual" for him to participate
in such a celebration while the
European war is on.
General Nathaniel Green, one
of the leading generals of Wash
ington's army" said Gallinger, "a
man who distinguished himself
on all the battlefields of the rev
olution, a man whose name has
gone down in history as one of
xhi greatest heroes this coun
try produced, is to have a monu
ment erected to his memory near
Greensboro and President Wil
son will not attend that dedica
tion because he is afraid it will
be an unneutral act. Unneutral
to wnom? To England, cf
course. What other country
could find fault? That being pro
per attitude for the President to
Uke we will have the flags on
the White House and' on this
Capitol haulfd down on the
Fourth of July.
'The article I saw in the news
paper this morning said the
Preident's decision, together
with the reason he gave, caused
surprise and disappointment in
North Carolina. I should think
it would.'
No Democratic Senator came
to the President's defense. Sen
ator Simmons was on the floor
at the time, but Senator Over
man was not.
