N President Wilson fiis the central figure of the plenary (ien.ee conference which openeil at i!:.!!) o'clock this afternoon when in person rea.l the covenant establishing a lea ue of nations. There was a. I. led interest in the session as it was the last gather miK of the delegates prior to the I'resi 'dent's departure as well as being the -casion of presenting the document with which his name is identified. The Presiilont was received with mili fury honors as he arrived at the foreign flice ami the large crowds which had .ninRregated gave him a cordial welcome .ms he passed through. The delegates al rc:idy were assemble.! when the President entered the edun-il chamU'i. When he entered the chamber. the President was greeted by Premier Clem nc':ui. Foreign Secretary Balfour and Viscount Milnoi. of Great Britain and the American delegates at the head of the. table. There was little formality. Premier ( 'lemenceau. who is president of the conference, called the conference to order ami President Wilson row and ad ..Irex-cd the gathering. '1 have very great pleasure." said President Wilson as ho began, "in pre renting the report of the commission which has framed the constitution of the Usagiie of nations. I .mi particularly happy to W able to say it is a miaiii minis report, signed by the represent:! -five of all the powers on the commitee. " President Wilson spoke earnestly, but without oratorical effect. "The best report I can make." the President continued, is to read the do. u lent itself.'' Tliereupon he read from a printed beet the const itution of the league, while the assembly followed his reading with the closet attention. While the President was reading. Mrs. Wilson, accompanied by the President's naval aide, was escorted to a place back f the delegate' table. The reading continued for .'to minutes without interruption or applause. As he dosed, the President laid aside the document and spoke of what had been ac complished. The deliberation of the commission had been most instructive, and throughout the proceedings there waa aa undertone of enthusiasm ia the arrest work being accomplished, he said. The result, said President Wilson, GASTONIA POULTRY WINS PRIZES IN FLORIDA (iastonia i oiiltr.v. alttays winning high it tl.e tiustnii ('.unity Fan and i'. uthei N.ntli ('a'-diiia sliuws. is now caniing of" I. minis ni other Mates.

For nianv tears, says The Observer, he had been a familial figure on the streets of Charlotte. embodied the .judgment of It nations represented on the commission, and these 14 nations were a representative group of the conference itself. ' This Is a union of will in a common purpose," the President proceeded. "It is a union which cannot Ik- resisted, and, I dare say, one which no nation will at tempt to resist." The President pointed out that the document was no " strait jacket. " It was elastic, ami not a vehicle of might. In said. It was yet to be developed, and as yet aie should be taken as to the clothes put on it. While elastic, yet it was definite. 'It is definite," continued President Wilson, "as a guarantee or peace. It is definite as a guarantee against aggres- j si. n. It is definite against a renewal of j such a cataclysm as has just shaken civilization. The President spoke with especial em phuis as he referred to the wrongs ! loiiiiniMeil against helpless peoples. "There is one especially feature in this document.'' he said. 'We are .loin- with annexations of helpless peoples, at times at complisln .1 in the past tor the purposes of exploiting of these peoples. In this document tve lecognie that these help less communities are tirst to be helped and developed and that their own inter ests ami well being shall come before any 'material advantage tn the mamla tory entrusted with their care." Too often in the past, the President added, the world had seen the lands of helpless communities appropriated for political purposes. "And so." he said, "while this is a piactical document, it is above all a human document. It is practical, and at the same time it is designed to purify, to rectify . to elevate. President Wilson dosed his address at 4::tn o'clock, having read and spoken just one hour. An interpreter then pro ceeded to render a discourse, which oc cupied another hour. Lord Robert Cecil, head of the British commission on the league of nations, fol lowed the interpreter m an earnest speech. It was a good omen, said Lord kobcrt. that this document had been laid before the world before being finally en acted, so that people everywhere could advise upon ami criticise it. The prob lem had been one of great difliculty, for it was to preserve the peace of the world with the least possible interference with tint ional sovereignty. The results accepted, he continued, em braced two main principles: First. i:r nation shall go to war until every other means of settlement shall be fully and fairly tried; second, no nation shall for cibly seek to disturb a territory's integ rity or interfere with the political in lepi'iidence of the nations of the world. These were the great principles, but later another great principle must Ik- laid down, namely, that no nation should re tain armaments fit only for aggressive purposes. Dr. Vittorio Orlando, the Italian prime minister, expressed deep satisfaction at having collaborated in what was going to be one of the greatest documents of history. He would not speak of the mer its of the scheme. Dr. Orlando continued as these had been explained ly one whose noble inspiration had brought it into existence. The war bad brought forth the necessity for this document. "Thus bom out of the pains of war", the premier exclaimed, "this is a docu ment of freedom and right which repre sents the redemption of humanity by sacrifice.'
