PEACE ENVOYS ID
 RESIDE IN PARIS
Treaty Will Probably Be Signed
 at Historic Versailles
GERMANY ORGANIZED THERE,
Peace Treaty Between United States and Great Britain Also Signed in This Famous Old French Town.

Paris, Nov. 15.-(By the Associated Press) ).-Versailles, although not formally chosen as the meeting place as almost certain to be the place se- 1ected for the peace conference when the inter-allied council reassembles today. The real work of the negotia- tions will be carried on in Paris, where it is probable that deliberators from all the countries will reside temporari- ly, the members going out to Yer Sailles now and then for plenary ses- sions of the conference.
 The supreme act of signing the peace agreem ent robably will take place at Versailles in the same his- toric hall where the German empire was proclaimed in 1871
 The palace at Versailles has played an important part in the histories of France, Germany, Great Britain and the United States. In 1783 the Armi- Stice preliminary to treaty of peace between Great Britain and the United States was signed at Versailles. Six years later the palace was the scene of important events in the French rev. olution. The German army besieging Paris had it's headquarters in the town 1870-7D and there the negotiations between France and Germany were discussed. After the peace Versailles was the seat of the French national assembly, and for few years there after was the official capital of France.

2 The Kind of Weather Our
 Soldiers Enjoy M France

far to residents in most sections of the United States, is not so noticeable in France, the average temperature for March being only to 4 degrees higher than for February. April and May are moderately cool and not unpleasant, the length of the day in- creases much more rapidly than in most sections of the United States, and there is correspondingly large increase in the amount of sunshine, while rainfall is comparatively light, although occurring rather frequently.
 The summers are pleasant as com pared with much of the United States, the day temperatures being mostly moderate and the nights cool. Occasionally hot weather is experi- enced, but the heat is not so exces- sive and the heated periods are usu- ally of short duration.
 Fall also is usually pleasant, es- pecially in September and October. The rainfall usually becomes heavier, however.
 The battlefronts of France lie in a latitude north of the United States. Paris is farther north than any point in the United States, being 500 miles nearer the North Pole than Chicago. Along the northern coasts of France temperatures are very similar to those of our northern Pa cific coast, the monthly average at Lunkirk, France, and Seattle, Wash ington, being identical for nearly half the months of the year and differing only slightly for other months.
 Not considering the higher noun tains, rainfall in the eastern half of the United States, especially in the south, is much greater than in France. Compared with Paris, the average rainfall at Chicago is one and one half times as large; at New York, more than twice as large and at New Orleans, nearly three times as large.

 Washington, March 11.-American soldiers on the battle fronts in France will probably escape our American torrid hot spells of sum- mer and our blizzaldy winters, ex- tremes of heat and cold in France being less severe. They may expect however, periods of sustained cold in the trenches, cold of the moist, pene- trating character peculiar to the con- tinental climate of northern Europe, but in general no startling change from weather conditions at home.
 An exhaustive study of the sub- ject by Preston c. Day, chief of the archaeological division of the Wealth. CT Bureau, shows that winter in Northern France is not so severe from the standpoint of low tempera- lures, but there is a constancy of moderately cold weather which is not usually experienced in the United States. Rather low temperatures sometimes occur there, but such ex- tremity of cold weather as has been experienced this winter, in the Unit ed States, is unknown. The coldest weather of record in Northern France ranges from zero, Fahrenheit, to 10 degrees below.
 Summer in Northern France is cool, as compared with most of the United States, the average temper ature for July and August, the warm est months, being 63 to 65 degrees, even lower than along our northern border. Moderately hot weather sometimes occurs, but extremely high temperatures, such as occasionally are experienced in much of the United States, are unknown in Franco. Tenn perature as high as 100 never has been reported in France, while in the United States 100 to 11O degrees have occurred generally.

Appeals to Family Buyers.
The fact that only one week remains
TO subscribe the Fourth Liberty Loan
and that We are still short SO, 500, 0o0, 900
makes Ii necessary for US to consider
some of the specific things that must
be done to win success. Many families,
for instance. think they have done their
full duty when the head Of the family
eubscribes for bonds, but the head of
the family has not done his full duty
unless he has bought all of the bonds
he can pay for Immediately and in the
near future
"A word particularly to the farmers
They did splendid work in the Third
Liberty Loan, but they must do more
with the Fourth Liberty Loan. Farm
ers have not yet sold their crops and
may not have ready money to pay for
bonds Immediately. But they arc selling
their crops right along and will soon
lave the money to invest in Liberty
bonds. Each and every farmer in tho
United States should subscribe for Lib
srty bonds now and pay for them wheu
he has sold his crops.
