Charlotte, May 20, Peace . sen
timent adroitly voiced by Presi
dent Wilson in his speech- here-'.to-day
seemed to strike a responsive
chord in upwards of 100,000 hearts.
The President attended the cejet
bration of the anniversary of the
signing of the Mecklenburg De-
elaration of independence 141 yeare
ago.
While the President was guard-
j ed in his references toward 1 peae
prospects and the part that4 t
United States may take in ending
the conflict in Europe,, it was ob
vious that the thought was "upper
most in his mind. It was-equally
apparent from the tremendoua!
plause greeting the slightest in
gestion as to peace in his speecH
that the Southland is for peaee.!
Summing .up an addressdirmed
cautiously at peace the Friapvt
said; . - -,- -4VS:1
"I would like therefore t&fimk'
r ho c i f nit. n-r.'kt K lc rta a l mi?rtrt r, no 5

IWtit ffir "saere'd Emblem of
counsel and of peace, of accommo
dation and righteous judgment be
fore the nations of the world and
reminding them of that passage of
scripture after the wind,- after the
earthquake, after the fire, the still
small voice of humanity.''
A quasi administration in a re
prctation of the President's speech
that he tried cautiously to convey
his conviction that the European
belligerents are actually at s.
'"standstill" -as to peace progress
and ultimately will be required to
seek "counsel" asking the friend
ly offices of the United States.
It was reliably stated that the
President expects to make a more
definite declaration of his pace
opinion, if not intentions, when he
speaks before the league of enforc
ed peace in W ashhgton next Sat
urday. Today was described as "the
greatest May 20th in the history
of North Carolina."
The Mecklenburg declaration of
Independence is held to be the
first "declaration," ante-dating
the one at Philadelphia by more
than one year.
The Presidential party left at 7
o'clock this evening for Washing
ton. President Wilson and his party
arrived here at 10 o'clock this
morning, j
The President first reviewed a
parade. Thousands from all over
the state packed the streets and
gave the President a great demon
stration. At reviewing stands he
was welcomed -by Governor Craig,
of North Carolini, Governor
Manning, of South Carolina, and
their staffs.
