VERSAILLES is RICH
IN HISTORIC EVENTS

Washington, d. C.--Versailles, chosen
as the meeting place for the allied wal
conference, which Is to weld the arm
les and navies Of the nations arrayed
against the central powers into COM
pact fighting bodies, Is a spot rich in
historic events. Though its lights and
shadows and the vast halls of the state
ly palace Of Louis XIV, have walked
men and women whose names will live
as long as history itself. Here have
been held solemn conferences at which
great wars have been ended and the
very fate Of nations and states deter
mined.
There in 1889 Marie Antoinetts faced
the wild mobs Of the French revolution.
there in 1871 the father Of Emperor
William was crowned German emperor,
and here France was forced to sign the
equalization Of Paris.
Significant too Is the recollection that
the site where American representa-
tives now are cooperating with England
and France there was signed in 1882
the preliminary treaty ending the
American revolution.
In the magnificent palace erected at
an estimated cost OF 5000, 600, 900, there
were born Louis XIV, Louis XVI and
Louis XVII, as well as several Of
Frances ablest military leaders.
