PRESIDENT HINTS At
PEACE IN EUROPE
DECLARES PROGRESS OF WAR
STANDS STILL AND TIME FOR
NATIONS TO TAKE COUNSEL.
Europe Has Grappled in War as We
Have Grappled In Peace to See What
Is Going to Be Done With Things
When They Come in Contact.

Charlotte, NJ C.-President Wilson,
speaking here Saturday at an ami
yersary celebration of the Mecklen-
burg declaration of independence, told
his hearers that involved in the Euro
pean war is the very thing that has
been going on in America, compe-
tition of national standards, national
traditions and national politics.
Europe" said he, has grappled in
war as we have grappled in peace to
see what is going to be done with
these things when they come into hot
contact with each other. What you
see taking place on the other side OF
the water is the tremendous almost
said final-process by which contest
of elements may in Gods process, be
turned into coordination and COOP
GRAFTON of elements.
For it is an interesting circum-
stance that the processes Of the war
stand still. Those hot things that are
in contact with each other do not
make much progress against one an
other. When you cannot overcome
you must take counsel"
The reference was given signifi-
canoe by the presidents hearers in
view of recent discussion of possibili-
ties of ending the war.

cARRANzA GROWS FRIENDLY.
Undergoes Change of Sentiment Since
Border Conference.

Washington.--The state department
was officially advised Saturday that it
might expect soon a new note from
General Carranza regarding the Dor
der situation. Indications are that it
will be of friendly character, and
it is thought possible General Carran-
"a may propose the framing of def
mite understanding along the lines of
the unwritten agreement reached by
the military conference at 81 Paso be.
tween Generals Scott, Funston and
Obregon.
Should this forecast be borne out,
the delicate situation created by Gen
eral Carranza's request for withdrawal
of the American expedition would be
a closed incident.
