Whether the United States shall -nier a world's peace league, and. as nany contend, thereby abandon Us raditional policy of isolation and no --ntangling alliances, was laid berore ' "on.gress and the country Monday by President Wilson in personal address to the Senate. For the first time in more than a hundred years a President of the Hnited States appeared in the Senate chamber to discuss the Nation's :oreign relations after the manner or Washington, Adams vand. Madison. The effect was to leave Congress, all official quarters and the foreign dip lomats amazed and bewildered. Im mediately there arose a sharp divi sion of opinion over the propriety as -veil as the substance of the Presi dent's proposal. "Startling," "Staggering," "As tounding," "the noblest utterance that has fallen from human lips -ince the declaration of indepen dence," were among the expressions it Senators. The President, himseir, after his address said: "I have said what everybody has been longing for, but has thought impossible. Now it appears to be impossible." CHIEF POINTS OF ADDRESS. The chief points of the President s ddress were: That a lasting peace in Europe can uot be a peace of victory for either side. That peace must be followed by a 1eflnite concert of power to assure the world that no catastrophe or war shall overwhelm it agin. That In such a concert of power the United States cannot withhold us participation to guarantee peace and justice throughout the world. And that before a peace is made the United States government should irankly formulate the conditions up on which it would feel justified in asking the American people for their tormal and solemn adherence. "It is clear to every man who rhinks," the President told the Senate that there irf in-this promise no breach in either our traditions or our policy as a nation, but a fulfillment rainer or an mat we nave proiesseu or striven for. WORLD-WIDE MONROE DOCTRINE. "I am proposing, as it were, that the nations should with one accord adopt the doctrine of President Mon roe as the doctrine of the wdrld; that no nation should seek to extend its policy over any other nation or people, but that every people should be left free to determine its own policy. Its own way of development, unhindered, unthreatened, unafraid, the little along with the great and powerful. "I am proposing that all nations henceforth avoid entangling alliances which would draw them Into competi tions of power, catch them In a net of intrigue and selfish rivalry, and disturb their own affairs with in fluence intruded from without. There is no entangling alliance in a concert of power. When all unite to act in the same sense and with the same purpose, all act in the common in terest and are free to live their own lives under a common protection. WHAT HE PROPOSES. "I am proposing government by the consent of the governed; that freedom of the seas which in inter national conference after conference representatives of the United States have urged with the eloquence of those who are the convinced disci ples of liberty; and that moderation of armaments which makes of arm ies and navies a power for order merely not an instrument of aggres sion or of selfish violence. "These are American principles. American policies. We could stand for no others. And they are also the principle and policies of for-ward-looking men and women every where, of every modern nation, of every enlightened community. They are the principles of mankind and must prevail." GROUNDWORK FOR PEACE. Back of the fundamental propos al for some tort of International sanction for preservation of the fu ture peace of the world, now already accepted in principle by both sets of belligerents in their replies to Pres ident Wilson's peace note, lies this possibility, which the President to day openly expressed,: that thereby may be laid the groundwork upon which an approach may be made to an end of the present conflict. In public ntteraaces the President baa. hitherto expressed the conviction that the present was the last great war In which the United States could be a neutral; that it no longer could remain In the position of being "half In and half out" of world affairs. In referring to future guarantees of peace today, the President said: The 'present war mast first be ended, but we owe it to candor and to Just regard for the opinion ' of mankind, to say that so far as our participation' In guarantees of future peace is concerned, it makes a great deal of difference in what way and npon what terms it is ended. "No covenant of co-operative peace that does not include the peo ples of the new world can suffice to keep the future safe against war. and yet there is only one sort of peace At Short Meeting I.ust Night Com mercial Organisation Elect! Sev en Directors and Installed Ohi-cers- .President Separk Dct-lareji in Favor of One-Term Policy Has Plans for Year to Ho Mud Publi Soon.

Hundreds of Durham people, says a dispatch from, that town, favor tiie Page bill providing for the election by the people of county boards of ed ucation and county superintendents. So enthusiastic are they'that several hundred of them will go to Raleigh on a special train to advocate the measure, which is now pending be fore the Legislature. that the people of America could join in guaranteeing. The elements of that peace must be the elements that engage confidence and satisfy the principles of the American gov ernments, elements consistent with their political faith and with the practical convictions which the peo ples of America have once for aQ embraced and undertaken to defend.

From the utterance all the Presi dent's hearers drew the common con clusion that be was holding out to the Old World a warning that if It would command the potent Influence of the New for the future peace of all, the settlement of the war mast Involve concession and sacrifice, equality of rights, freedom of the seas, and In bin own words "inviola ble security of life, of worship and of industrial and social development to all peoples who have lived hitherto under the power of govern ments devoted to a faith and purpose hostile to their own."

Bill Would Eliminate Death Penalty Etcept for Criminal Assault Bill Providing for Election of Scliool Boards by People Call Forth Con siderable Discussion Other .Meas ures Introduced. last Friday's session of the Gen eral Assembly was featured by ttie introduction of a bill proposing the abolition of capital punishment in this State except in cases of criminal assault where there are two or more witnesses against the defendant, in troduced by Senator Allen, of Wayne county. In the House were five hills pro viding for the election of count) boards of education, and superin tendent of public schools by the peo ple of four of the five counties now in the hands of the Republicans. Gardner, of Watauga, introduced a resolution in the House asking the I'nited States government to locate an armor plant in the Cranberry ore district of Watauga county and Car ter county, Tennessee Resolutions of respect to the mem ory of the late Admiral George Dew ey were passed by both houses Fri day, the Senate instructing Lieuten ant Governor Gardner to wire Sena tor Simmons of the Assembly's ac tion. Adjournment for the day was tak en Friday in honor of Robert K. l.ee's birthday. Saturday the House validated the $4,070 issued to convict's families Christmas, 80 representatives voting for the resolution of Senator Jones, of lluncombe. and I 1 against it. McLendon offered a statewide bill for the elimination of adult illitera cy. It provides a fund of $."(), (J 0.(1 to be used In the schools and duplicates the amount that each school volun tarily raises. The minimum school will be 10 pupils. Page, of Moore, protested against the purpose of opposing his school board bill He declared he and those alleged to have been held Friday Tor what he called a seml-seerei caucus, who fought with him had not been treated with proper courtesy and should be allowed to state their po sition before sentiment crystali.ed a gainst them . "Never again" said the Senate Monday, tabling the resolution to in vite Miss Kate Barnard, of Oklaho ma, to address the General Assembly, at her convenience. Senate probably remembered thai mostly out of sheer courtesy with intent to do honor, it invited William .1 Bryan and Jose phus Daniels to do similar things, and they while properly .regretting the press of other affairs, did not. Nobody appeared anxious to invite anybody. There was introduced for the es tablishment of reformatories for fal len women, another workmen's com pensation, and a hill for appointing of a commission to consider and re port to the next General Assembly on the establishment of a State printing plant, to print public school text books and the State documents now handled on contract. It was ordered that 3 00 copies of a substitute hill, piepared by the committee on elec tion laws in regard toSibsentees voi voting be printed.

Rodman, State regent of the D A. R., asking on behalf of State pa triotic orders, that the statewide cem etery bill be held up.
