METZ REJ0ICES
WILDLY ON DAY
Of LIBERATION
Continued From Page One.)

Former Emperor William II was
still left to figure grotesquely as a
stathe on the facade of the cathed-
raj. The hands had been chained
during the night and into them had
been put band with this inscrip-
ton: "Sic transit gloria mundi."
On the other hand, flags were
flying from the statutes of French
heroes still standing in Metz. Mar
shall Petain made his triumphal en-
try together with a staff of allied
officers at the head of the famous
Iron division. the Thirty-ninth d.
vision of the Twentieth army corps.
Following was long procession
of Lorraine societies and other
groups, including a great number of
girls in the national costume of Lor-
raine. This procession met the
marshal at the Port de France and
conducted him in triumph to the Es-
planade, where, surrounded by a re-
markable group of generals, he re-
viewed the troops that had earned
the honor OF contributing to the vic
tories of the allies on almost every
battlefield of France.
The day was one of notable en-
thusiasm throughout, which dusk
failed to diminish. Bands with
torches appeared as soon as the light
began to fade and jubilant process
sions continued gaily to circulate
through the town and until a late
hour. Meanwhile. from the French
lines all around the fortress there
was brilliant display of fireworks,
which brightly lighted the sky, sig
nal fuses and star shells serving
as skyrockets.
Germans who still remain here
tried to put good countenance on
the situation and join the throngs
out of doors. but their glum faces
we're mostly seen from open win
dows, peering out with curiosity
mingled with interest. Those that
were met within the crowd we're
treated with consideration.

Versailles Preparing.
Paris, Nov. 20.-The city of YER
sallles is preparing to receive the
delegates to the peace conference.
The deliberation are expected to
be held in the Grand Tranon part
of the chateau of Versailles ONE
occupied by Marie Antoinette.
The priceless tapestries and furni-
ture, removed to a place of safety
during the course of hostilities, are
now being replaced. The gardens
are being restored and the camou-
flage covering on the statues and
fountains removed.
The waters of the Grand canal,
which also had been camoufagod
in order to avert airplane raids, are
being restored to their natural con-
dition. The Hall of Mirrors"
where William l. proclaimed the
German empire and where the
peace treaty doubtless will be
signed, is one of the first places to
be made ready to receive the pleni-
potentiaries. NJ. De Nolhac, con-
servator of the palace, is in charge
of tho orenorotiopc
1t is a general belief that the coun-
tries to be represented will include
all which declared war against the
central powers and those states
which were formed as result of the
war, the Czecho-Slovaks and Jugo-
Slavs.
Two Treaties Forecast.
These are among the practical de-
tails likely to be adjusted before
the sessions are opened. Afte4 the
adjustment among the allies, it is
probable that the representatives of
the central powers will be called
in for the arrangement of prelimi-
naries. 1t is expected that all the
central powers will be represent d,
for while armistices were separately
signed with Germany, Austria,
Bulgaria and Turkey, it is not antic-
ipated that separate congresses will
be necessary.
1t is believed the conclusions will
be embodied in two treaties, the first
one to be concluded early, covering
the essentials, and the second COW
ering the larger general questions,
after a more thorough discussion.

length. Its number had been paint
ed out.
Near the ship Wash lightship
three large British seaplanes fol-
lowed by an airship, were observed.
The Harwich forces and the sea-
planes and airship made most i'm
pressive sight.
One of the submarines was seen
to send up a couple of carrier pig
cons and at once signal was flash
ed from the admiral that it had no
right to do this.
When the ships had cleared the
mine field and entered the war chan
mel the "Paravanes" were hauled
abroad. On reaching point some
20 miles off Harwich the ships drop
ped anchor and Captain Addison
came out on the warship Maidstone.
British Crews Put Abroad.
British srews were then put on
board the submarines to take them
into harbor. With the exception Of
the engine stats all the Grman
sailors remained on deck. The sub
marines were then taken through the
gates of the harbor and the Ger
man crews were transferred to the
transports which will take them
back to Germany.
As the boats went through the
gates the white insignia was run
up on each of them with the Ger
man flag underneath.
Each German submarine COM
mander at the transfer was requir-
ed to sign a declaration to the effect
that his vessel was in running order,
that its periscope was intact, that
its torpedoes were unloaded and that
its torpedo heads were safe.
Orders had been issued forbidding
any demonstration and these instruc-
tons were obeyed to the letter.
There was complete silence as the
submarines surrendered and as the
crews were transferred. So ended
an historic event and the first por-
ton of the German submarine fleets
now is the hands of the British
navy.

Potash Producers AIlege
Conspiracy of Fertilizer Men

Washington, Nov. 20.-(Special)
A number of potash producers Of
Nebraska, including w. E. Sharp,
w. E. Richardson, T. E. Stevens,
John Kraus, H. w. Lamb and Prof,
G. E. Condra. are in Washington to
interest the War Industries board in
their output. They are of the opin-
ion that a conspiracy exists on the
part of the fertilizer manufacturers
to keep potash prices down, and as
a result Nebraska potash is piling up
in warehouses to such an extent
that Nebraska producers are be-
coming alarmed.
Senator Hitchcock has arranged for
conference with Chairman Ber-
nard Barouch of the War Industries
board tomorrow afternoon, when the

Huns Occupy Minsk.
London, Nov. 20.-A Stockholm
dispatch to the Central News says
German troops have occupied
Minsk, in Lithuania. A half million
released war prisoners, the dispatch
adds, are passing through the Ural
mountains. Arrangements are being
made to supply them with food and
clothing.
Path Opened Into Russia.
Washington, Nov. 20.-Overthrow
OF the bolshevik regime in the
Ukraine and the capture of Kiev by
Cossack troops friendly to the all
Russian government, as reported to-
day from Copenhagen, opens the
way in the opinion of officials here
tor important developments in
Russia.
While no change in policy, either
political or military, has been made
by the United States, it is realized
here that the holding of the
Ukraine by forces friendly to the
associated governments and de-
cidedly hostile to the bolsheviki
opens path directly into the heart
of Russia, either for the dispatch
of troops or of supplies for the re-
lief of the demoralized civilian popu-
lation.
Possibilities that the bolshevik
leaders may fee Russia after &C
cumulating larger amounts of loot
have been touched upon in recent
dispatches, but have been dis
counted here largely because no
haven for them appears available.
Switzerland has forcibly elected
their representatives, Holland has
declared they are not wanted there
and even Germany now is not ex-
pected to tolerate them within its
borders.
Despite the resistance they are Of
fering in the north, it is believed
in some quarters here that the
strength of the bolsheviki is waning.
With the Cossacks holding the
Ukraine; with the military and po-
litical forces of the Omsk govern
ment working west and with the
American and allied forces pushing
south, some officials consider the
position of the disturbers of Rus
