PEACE TREATY
RE SIGNED IN
HALL MIRRORS
VERSAILLES, France May 4 (Cor
respondence of the Associated Press).
—That much discussed and still pro
jected peace treaty has already been
signed, sealed and delivered in spirit
scores of times from the historic
chateau here, if indeed, the good in
tentions of hundreds of energetic
young American soldiers count for
anything. It would be difficult to find
a Yankee warrior who, having got as
near as Paris, has not come to Ver
sailles to express his approval or dis
approval of the place where the real
treaty will be signed, and to subscribe
his name to a peace document of his
own for the folk back home. Having
sought out the wonderful Hall of
Mirrors, doughboy and officer alike
invariably make their way to the
table upon which it is sjiid the treaty
will be signed, and with much inking
of fingers from leaky pens indite post
card memorial which begin:
“This is being written in the fa
mous Hall of Mirrors in the chateau
of Veasailles, upon the very table,”
etc. etc.
The doughboy is by no means alone
in his desire to see the renowned pal
ace in which the world peace will be
concluded. Thousands of French peo
ple have been flocking to Versailles
for many days on sightseeing tours. In
fact, Versailles has become a sort of
Mecca which is drawing the national
ties of the world who wish to worship
at the shrine of peace.
All the pre-war splendors are rap
idly returning to the palace under the
practiced hands of expert workmen
who are renovating the vast halls
and replacing the priceless relics for
the advent of the peace delegates.
When the Germans were threatening
Paris the chateau was stripped of all
portable valuables, which were taken
to Bordeaux and other places for safe
keeping. During the past few days
ancient tapestries of untold value and
furniture worth the ransom of a kind
have been reappearing in their ac
customed places, and the dust of many
months has been cleared away from
walls and floors.
Today being Sunday people flocked
to Versailles in great numbers, for it
was the first really sunshiny holiday
of the season. Hundreds of American
officers, doughboys and nurses were
among the pilgrims who filled the
huge chateau and overran the lawns
and already green woods of the-beau
tiful grounds.
The doughboy for once was seeing
something which had no counterpart
at home. The Woolworth building was
higher but—well, they could hardly
be compared after all, they were so
different. His first impression was one
of amazement at the grandeur, and
the thought came to him: “What a lot
of money it must have cost.” Then
he got Interested in art for art's sake.
The Hall of Mirrors, where the
treaty will be signed, held him long,
as he gazed in awe at the myriad re
flections and the superb decorations
of the ceiling. He found his way to
the exact spot where in 1871 stood
the dias from which the foundation of
the German empire was proclaimed,
and heard his guide say that for rea
sons of sentiment the table upon
which the treaty will be signed would
probably be located In the same place. ,
The great hall, the doughboy was
told, will be reserved for the treaty
makers, but the ceremony will be wit
nessed from adjoining rooms by mem
bers of the press from many coun
tries and by some distinguished
guests. The wife of President Wilson
will probably be one of those who will
see the President and other delegates
place their names to the most import
ant document of history.
'there was little that the dohghboy
didn't see today., The apartments of '
King Louis the Fourteenth, the coun
cil chamber of that monarch and his
successors, all of which will be used
for conference purposes, proved at
tractive to his imaginative mind. The
boudoir of Madame de Malntenon, ,
which also is to he sacrificed to com
mittee work, drew wise shakings of
the head from the doughboy, who said
little but looked as though he could
tell a great deal about the fair occu
pant of bygone days. ,
The Gallery of Battles with its
painted history of the glories of
France on the field of honor appealed
to the boy in khaki immensely, per
haps because he himBelf had been liv
ing similar martial scenes over al
ready historic ground. This gallery is
to be assigned to the press of the
world, the guide said. Ajl the great
paintings held the doughboy long, but
the one which struck his fancy most
was that of Washington and Lafayette
standing in front of their headquar
ters Just before the battle of York
town. ,
“Why, if there ain’t old George
himself,” exclaimed one delighted boy
Iri uniform, and in the ecstacy of his
discovery he summoned all his pals
forthwith to see “old George.”
For the purposes of the conference
some of the sacred rooms are being
modernized, temporarily undoubtedly,
by the installation of the telephone.
For the first time in history, too, tea
will be served to the delegates from a
buffet that is being installed.
Just how many Germans will come
to Versailles is not known, but plans
are being made to accommodate about
200, including secretaries and ser
vants.
"I guess the little old -Company,
American Expeditionary Force, could
handle that many boche, all right,”
commented one doughboy thought
fully.

oxide plates and zincs come on the
