come the headquarters of the in
vading armies. By the middle of
September and for the five months
following money poured into the
pockets of the proprietor of the
Hotel DIES Reservoirs in a steady

who saw the backs of the Germans

innkeeper of Versailles. But the

of France During the second siege of Paris the
little suburban town crowded with ambassadors,
ministers, deputies, and government officials. As
many as possible of these had rooms at the Hotel

the establishment. Nor did their departure end the
run of good fortune for there of promi-
