FOOD IS MAGNE 7

Berlin, April 2S.-Not a cheer was
raised, no tear shed nor a handker-
chief waved as Count RantZau and
the peace delegation pulled out, from
the Potsdsmer station recently.
There was no excitement, no espe-
cial interest, no bon voyage spirit. The
public took absolutely no notice OF
the event Not half a hundred Ger
mans in all Berlin tried to see Count
Rantzau and his associates leave, and
the elaborate military and police pre-
cautions against outsiders, including
strong patrol of Noske guards
armed with rifles and hand grenades
added touch of picturesqueness
Orders had been given to prevent
American and British correspondents
from having access to the platform
but from station restaurant window
the correspondent noted that Fried
rich Ebert, Philip Schedemann and
others of the government were con
spiculously absent,
EcrnStorff Present.
The only person of note to bid the
party goodbye was Count Won Bern
storff.
Count Rantzau looked far from
happy, as if he realized that the Yer
sailles trip would probably cost him
as official head. As the train started
for Paris he posed for the German
photographers.
The German peace delegates who
have gone to Versailles took along
extra shirts, socks and collars, suffi-
cient for a long stay. It is serio- hum
orously explained in official quarters
that the dignified ENJOYS are taking
no chance with the French laund-
resses, who might strike and refuse
to wash Teuton linen.
There is no worry over food, how
ever, for the tip has been passed from
the finapcial commission to Berlin
that victuals will be plentiful, and the
Versailles trip viii really be a food
junket, That expectation largely eX-
plains the scramble to get on board
the first train and the heart burnings
among those left behind
PathOs Pointed Out.
The Journal correspondent has met
only one eligible German who did not
wish to go. He had been one of
Count Won Bernstorff's licutenants
and he said: II have seen Versailles
under happy circumstances, knowing
the Trianon in peace times, and so
begged off from this trip but my ste
nOgrapher is crazy to GO"
This official pointed out an ele-
ment of pathos in the situation, say
ing that after four lean years most
Germans have such craving for pro
per food that the prospect Of eating
their fill i'm Versailles seems like a
promise Of Paradise. He added that
when the delegates get back to lean
home cooking again they will feel il
would have been easier to stick to II
than to have INDUCED themselves in
feasting, thereby entaiing fresh
pangs of privation.
While the prospect of good eating
has high place in the thoughts &
those who will make the trip, all are
much concerned with speculation as
to whether they will be snubbed and
suffer wounded, sensibilities, by find.
ing on arrival in Versailles that they
will not be permitted to negotiate
peace terms.
