THE CONFERENCE.
The Peace Treaty of Versailles,
which is to be submitted to Con
gress this week for ratification, is
the fruit of about five months of
conferences in which delegations
from thirty-two Allied countries and
Germany participated. The five
leading nations—the United States.
Great Britain, France, Italy, and
Japan — were represented in the
peace conference at Paris by five
delegates each, while the delegations
of other Nations and British do
minions were composed of from one
to three men.
The representatives of the United
States were President Wilson, Sec
retary of State Robert Lansing,
Henry White, formerly American
ambassador at Rome and Paris; Col
onel Edward M. House, and Gen
eral Tasker H. Bliss.
Georges Clemenceau, premier of
France, was chairman of the peace
conference.
At first a Supreme Council or a
Council of Ten was organized so
as to include two representatives
each from Great Britain, France,
the United States. Italy, and Japan.
Subsequently this council was di
vided into two parts—a Council of
Four, composed of President Wilson
and Premiers Lloyd George, Clem
enceau. and Orlando, and a Council
of Foreign Ministers.
The Conference of the Allied Del
egations convened officially on Janu
ary 1 8 to draw up the terms to be
submitted, when completed, to the
German delegation. President Wil
son had arrived in France on De
cember 13 and had visited England,
Italy, and parts of France.
One of the first acts of the Con
ference was to send a proposal to
all Russian factions to meet on the
Prince’s wlands to endeavor to com
pose the Russian internal situation,
but this plan was rejected by the
Russians. Various factions which
were disputing over territory in dif
ferent sections of Europe were di
rected by the Peace Conference to
discontinue their conflicts.
The first step toward the actual
drafting of the treaty occurred or
January 24, when the Conference
agreed to the plan for organization
of a League of Nations and a com
mittee was appointed to draw up a
covenant. By January 30 the Con
ference had adopted the plan of
governing colonies and backward
nations through mandatories issued
to various nations, subject to the
direction and approval of the League
of Nations.
The covenant of the League of
Nations was completed on February
14. On the following day, Presidem
Wilson left France for the United
States. He returned to France, ar
riving there March 13. In his ab
sence the Council of Ten had con
tinued its work, despite an attempl
to assassinate Premier Clemenceau.
A report of the International La
bor Legislation Committee was
adopted April 11. Reparation de
mands to be made on Germany
were approved April 14, and the
Germans were invited on April It
to send their delegation to Ver
sailles to receive the treaty.
The Peace Conference next con
sidered the treaty with Austria. The
; Italian delegation insisted upon ob
Itaining control of the formerly Aus
trian city of Fiume, but on April
123 President Wilson gave out a
'statement that Fiume could not be
given to Italy. On the next day
Premier Orlando returned to Rome,
and for more than a week there
after the Italian delegates were ab
jsent. but returned on May 7 in time
•to participate in the conference with
ithe German delegates.
| A revised covenant of the League
of Nations, intended to conform in
j respect to the Monroe Doctrine to
objection raised in America, was
adopted by the Peace Conference on
j April 28. Geneva was selected as
j the seat of the League.
Shantung was disposed of on April
130, when the Council of Three voted j'
• to turn it over to the Japanese on;
| assurances that it would be given :
1 later to the Chinese.
The Germans, headed by Count :
Brockdorff-Rantzau, arrived in Yer- 1
sallies and presented their creden
tials to the Allied delegates on
May 1. j:
The Peace Treaty was presented]'
to the Germans at Versailles on!1
May 7, the anniversary of the sink- j
ir.g of the Lusitania, and an official j
I summarv of the treaty was made1
i . <
] public that day. It was also an-1
j nounced that the United States and'
■ Great Britain had pledged aid to'1
i ~ i
! r ranee against possible future Get- j
! man aggression. The manner in
j which the Germans received the
treaty was regarded as insolent,
i Numerous German leaders declared
:hey would not sign it, and a week
'of mourning was decreed by the
German government, but the decree
was virtually unheeded.
Thereafter the German delegates
submitted various notes to the Coun
cil of Four, asking for concessions j
or criticizing the terms proposed in ]
the treaty as submitted to them. On i
May 16 it was announced that the
German treaty would become ef
fective when ratified by Germany
and three of the Allied or Associ
ated Powers.
The German reply .to the first ]
form of the Peace Treaty was pre
sented to the Allied delegates on
May 28, and this was followed by
several German counter-proposals.
Meantime the Austrian delegates ]
had arrived at St. Germain, and on j
June 2 the terms of the Peace j
Treaty with Austria as drawn by the
Allies was submitted to them.

CELEBRATION ENDS;
PROGRAM ENJOYED
i
The second day of N'enana's big
two-day Independence Day celebra
tion was fully as enjoyable as die
first, and much more crowded with
events than had been anticipated.
There was something doing every
minute of the day, from the start
of the ball game, early Saturday
morning, until the close of the cele
bration dance at Union hall early
Sunday morning. The afternoon
especially was crowded with events,
the committee having difficulty car
rying out the program in the time
set apart for the track events. As
on the first day of the celebration,
fair weather prevailed on Saturday,
although during the early morning
threatening clouds hovered over the
town. The rair. did not come until
the dance was well under way.
BASEBALL.
The ball game on the school
mounds Saturday morning, between
the Soldiers and Civilians, was one
>f the most interesting features of
the celebration, the two teams fight
ng a tight ninejinning battle which
»ept the crowd in a high state of
excitement throughout. The Civ
liar.s. composed for the most part
>f Commission employes, came out
>n the long end of a 9 to 7 score,
>ut at no time did either nine have
he game on ice, and bunched hits,
lided by ar, error or two on several
>ccasions, raised the spectators to
.heir toes in excitement. The root
ng was riotous at all times, not to
ay rabid, the last inning proving
he most stirring of the game, with
i possible tie of the score until the
hird out was made.
Hansen and Biakey worked for
he Commission boys, with Fuelling
ind Matheson on the mound for the
Soldiers, and Bruder receiving. Han

three order in the first, and his
teammates presented him with a
couple of runs their first time at
bat. The Commission boys were out
in front then until the fifth, when
the score was tied, but the battery
1 of the railroad team was too much
^for the soldiers. Blakey led in bat
jting honors, with a triple and three
doubles out of four times up. Doner
hit timely with men on bases and
Kestly came across with a single in
the fifth with second and third
populated. The ground was slow
and rough and fooled the fielders on
hard hit balls.
For the soldiers, Lopsides at third
speared a hot one from Hansen’s
bat when men were on first and
second and touched the runner out
at third. Fuelling lifted a high
one to center, which Jones lost in
the sun, and took second before the
ball was returned. In the ninth the
soldiers touched up Hansen for sev
eral hits and had runners on second
and third, but Jack managed to
tighten up and struck out the last
two men. This inning was full of
life and had the fans up and yelling
all the way.
A good crowd was out to see the
game and the fair sex was well rep
resented. In spite of the threaten
ing weather the crowd tame early
and saw an interesting and fast
game that put them all in good
humor for the sports on the after
noon’s program.
