JUST PEACE CONCLUDED
By Associated Pres.


 New York, July S,-President Wilson TO- turned to the United States today, and, in his first speech delivered on Amer ican soil since the peace treaty was signed, declared that the peace con- c.pded at Paris was "a just peace. which # 1t can be preserved. will safeguard the world from unnecessary bloodshed."
 The only reference the President made to his political opponents was when in referring to the negotiations a. Paris, he said
 IT am afraid some people, some
 persons, do not understand that
 vision. They do not see it. They
 have looked too much upon the
 ground. They have thought too
 much of the interests that were
 near them. and they have not lis-
 tened to the voices of their neigh
 bors. I have never had mo
 ments doubt as to where the heart
 and purpose of this people lay.o
 The President arrived at the Ho- boken army pier, formerly the dock of the Hamburg American line, short ly before 3 o'clock. The army trans port George Washington, on which he sailed from Brest, was escorted up the bay by the battleship Pennsyl- vania and more than score of de- stroyers and smaller naval craft. On the New Jersey shore. the state which first honored MT. Wilson with a po- litical office, were massed 10000 school children who welcomed the chief executive of the nation with the strains of the natonal anthem.
 CHILDREN LINE STREETS
 Through the lines of the children. ali dressed in white the President passed to the ferry which carried him to the Manhattan slde of the river, He arrived in New York at 4.l5 D. m. where he was greeted ry the official reception committee. headed by Gov ernor Smith and Mayor Hylan. From the ferry terminal to Carnegie hall, distance of about three miles, the presidential party passed through streets lined with cheering thousands of mem women and children, who thronged the sidewalks and filled ev- cry available window and roof top.
 From the upper windows of the busi- ness sky-scrapers great showers of confetti rained upon the President and . Mrs Wilson, literally millions of scraps of paper floating through the air carrying this motto:
 s "Everybody's Business. To Stand by Our Government. To Help the Soldier Get a Job. To Help Crush Bolshevism''
 FIGHTERS HEAD PARADE
 The head of the procession was formed by several companies of khaki clad sol- diers and marines, followed by some hun dreds of sailors clad in white uniforms Immediately preceding the Presidential car was an automobile filled with secret service agents. and the car itself was guarded by the Presidents personal body- guard of four picked men. one of whom rode on each running board throughout the trip.
 In the car with President Wilson were Mrs. Wilson. Governor Smith and Mayor

By Associated Press

Washington, July 8.-Presi- dent Wilson, returning to Washington at midnight to- night after an absence of four months at the Paris peace con- ference, told a throng of many thousand Washington citizens who greeted him at the union station that he came home "confident that the people of the United States were for the league of nations" The well come he received here, he said, was particularly pleasing be. cause 1t was immediate as- surance" of his feeling.
 Despite the late hour of arrival, due to the delay in docking. the presidential transport George Washington. at New York, crowd estimated by Major Pull
 
 at 100000 was at the station. It included District of Columbia officials. members of Congress and representatives of the army and navy. Immediately after the welcoming ceremonies President and Mrs Wilson went to the White House. As they, passed down Pennsylvania ave nue they were welcomed by thousands and a large crowd greeted them in front of the White House.
 Responding to an address of welcome from J. II. Ralston, head of the District citizens committee, the President said This very beautiful reception has
 taken me entirely by surprise. It is a very gratifying surprise. and 1t makes me very grateful to you all. The very generous words in which you have greeted me are especially gratifying to me- II came home confident that the peo- pie of the United States were for the | league of nations, but to receive this | immediately assurance of it is particu- | larly pleasing to me It makes my homecoming just that much the more de- | lightful I have never been quite so eager to get home as I was this time, and everything have seen since I | sighted land until now has made ma gladder and gladder that I am home. No country can possibly look so good as this country has looked to me- and am
 sure that am expressing the sentiments | of Mrs. Wilson and of all who are with
 me in saying that your gracious recep- ton has made our homecoming all tho
 moro pleasable-"
 The trip from New York to Washing ton was made without incident, the pres- idential train arriving here a few minutes before midnight. No stops were made until Washington was reached. although there were crowds at the stations in Phil. adelphia and Baltimore

afternoon. Many legislators, rather
 than take the chance of being opposed
 by the women at later date, when
 legislatures of other states give per-
 mission to the women to vote all over
 the country. will support the measure.
 Others. however, will cling to the old
 idea that Alabama voters should say
 whether or not their women should
 vote.
 Factionalsm has been forgotten in
 the suffrage fight Such men as Sen ator Craft of Mobile, elected as an
 antiamendist is found talking for, .he
 cause of the women. He is telling the
 opposition that the wife or sister of
 men in Alabama has as much right to
 vote as he has. and it is known Sem
 ator Craft is influential in the senate.
 He is expected to make a strong
 speech for the measure when 1t com as up
 In the house the measure will be ratified. but in the senate the fight will be hard one. It is not easy for the women to decide what will be done in the senate when,sthe amendment first comes up. but of the action in the house they are certain. Mrs. Jacobs said
 Henry Merritt, speaker. will deliver speech either for or against the rat ification. He told newspaper men that he had not yet decided how he will vote But if he opposes the measure he will speak against it, and if he is in favor of 1t he will deliver a strong speech for it's ratification. The wo-
 men who are here to lobby for the amendment. say there is nothing to alarm them. They consider their fight mas already been won, but they will continue to talk to the legislators. The women are meeting with strong op. position from the League Opposed te Ratification Members of this associaticr believe the men will not ratify the Susan B. Anthony amendment, which, they say will give permission to the negro women to vote in Alabama. They are making
 hard fight and they believe they have won their fight.
