VERSAILLES

| ~~~%#%~~~~~~@M%A@@%
"If one were to compile list of
the seven historic spots Of the world,
as a companion set to the seven won
ders, the palace of Versailles, where
the German delegates signed the
peace treaty, would be sure of a place
among them" says a bulletin from
the National Geographic Society.
"There Great Britain first recog-
nized the independence of the United
States; there the Third Estate form
ed national assembly and gave birth
to the French revolution; there Will
liam | was crowned emperor of Ger
many while Paris was besieged, and
there representatives of the civilized
world not only made peace with the
mad man of Europe, but signed a
document that may rank in history
with the Magma Charta and the Dec
laration of Independence.
"Nor is this mammoth place, which
once could house a city Of 10000 per-
sons, merely a historical shrine of
echoes of human dramas more vivid
and enthralling than any stage piece
Moliere showed there to DISTRACT
blase Louis XIV and his dazzling
court.
"There the unhappy VALERIE, the
vain-glorious Montespan, and the
austere Maintenon successfully loved,
infatuated and exploited the magnifi-
cent Louis; there, too, the brilliant
Pompadour and the seductive du Bar
ry shone among the galaxy of mis-
tresses, and there some 10000 drunk
en- women from Paris broke through
the gates and sent Louis fleeing to
the Tuilleries.
"Mere chance set Versailles on a
historic eminence. Nature provided
only flat, sandy stretch Of country,
so arid that the kings never could
get water enough for the magnificent
fountains. Louis XIII CHANGED to
have a hunting chateau there. So
the next Louis was attracted there.
He planned his residence on SO grand
lose scale that the levelling Of the
land, building of road to Paris, and
construction Of an adequate palace
engaged 10000 men for many wears.

what scenes those mirrors have
reflected! They saw the Louis who
proclaimed himself the state with
his diamond embroidered coat and red
heeled slippers four inches high; his
bloated, milk-fed successor whose
most arduous exercise was irving
pancakes for his mistress breakfast;
the irresolute Louis XVI, predestined
to disaster, and the tragic figure of
Marie Antoinette, she who could bow

Should the former kaiser be i'm
prisoned in the Tower of London, his
name will add lustre in a way to the
long list Of very distinguished priS-
oners the gloomy old prison has har-
bored. The tower is as old as the
Norman reign in England. Ever since
the days of the Conqueror, its gov
eminent has been entrusted to a high
officer of the crown, called the cons
stable, which office has been held
by very prominent Englishmen, one
of them being the great Duke Of We'll
lington. Kings and queens and roy
alties of lesser grades have been its
most unwilling guests and many have
met their doom within its hoarv con-
fines.
Closely adjacent to the Tower is
Tower Hill the famous place of ex-
ecution for persons delivered from the
tower to the sheriffs of London for
final action. In the tower are kept
the crown and royal Jewels of EEEt
land. There is also within the vast
enclosure what is known as the
rse-Armoury, a museum Of ancient
armor. Valuable records of various
kinds are there for protection. In st.
Peters Chapel, a part of the huge
structure, are inferred the remains
of Anne Boleyn, Inflated wife Of
Henry VIII, Katherine Howard, an
other one, the Duke of Somerset, lord
protector of the kingdom, the Duke
Of Northumberland, Lady Jane Grey
and others, almost as celebrated. On
Tower Hill, headed or beheaded, for
eternal glory in Elysian fields, suffer
ed among others, Bishop Fisher Sir
Thomas More, Lord Guilford Dudley,
Earl of STAFFORD, Archbishop Laud,
Algernon sydney and Lord Loyat, the
latter being the last person beheaded
in England. Queen Anne BoIeyn and
Lady Jane Grey were beheaded on
scaffolds within the tower, the site
of which is shown, also the block on
which the former laid her naughty
head. Within what is known as the
Bloody Tower, took place the muir
ders of the princes, sons Of Edward
", and, elsewhere within the pre-
cincts of Henry VI, the Duke of
Clarence. brother of Kings Edward
w and Richard III, of Sir Thomas
Overbury and the young Earl of Es-
sex, one time beloved but rash sub
iect, and next in power and influ
ence, to Queen Elizabeth. Sir Walter
Raleigh lay long in the big prison
and there did much writing which
survived him. but he was taken for
execution to Westminster. Another
royal prisoner Of note was Lady Ara
bella Stuart, claimant to the throne
of England by right of descent. She
became insane and died in ignominy
OF course the tower is haunted. |

FLYING FROM SHIP TO SHORE.

Although the transatlantic flight remains unflown
and the airpane which will carry the mail from one con-
tnent to another is still in process of development
special branch of aviation presents way for speeding up
foreign mails.
1t is said that before long all great liners may be
equipped with seaplanes When within three or four
hundred miles of land the important mail will be packed
into seaplane which will carry it to shore in few
hours, thereby saving nearly day in its delivery
For instance, mail steamer bound to England from
New York could send its important mail to London
while still 400 miles west of the Irish coast New York
mail would thus be delivered in London within four days
Provided these seapanes are good at lighting on
moving vessels there is apparent reason why mpor
tant mail should not be sent to outbound ship day
or two out of port in the way and then forwarded
to its destination in another day. This would still fur
ther reduce the time between mailing and delivery
Passengers too might be able to shorten the period
Of this voyage if they wished by flying to shore day
ahead of the steamers scheduled arrival TOmOrrow's
folk who fearful Of making the whole crossing by
air might be willing to accustom themselves gradually
to that means of travel by making such use Of the sea-
plane.

THE KIND OF A LEAGUE HE MEANT.

An enthusiastic New Yorker has decided that New
York is the place for the seat of the League of Nations
He is of course entirely dsnterested in this as his rea
sons show.
First, this location for the League would be remote
from the quarres and intrigues of Europe.
Second Central Park, which is now wasted being
only breathing spot in the center of crowded city,
could be utilized as building site for the League OF Ma
tiOns plant"
Third it would make New York "mecca for tour
lists" Of course the millions who pour through New
Yorks stations and pleasure places now are all dyed-n-
the-woo New Workers, mady seeking some reason for
continuing to live there.
Fourth, since the United States would probably cede
the territory to the League prohibition would never en-

Meat Prices To Continue
High Or Higher Say Packers

Chicago, April 11.-Present high
prices Of meats will continue for a long
time and may even 70 higher.
This was an official statement given
out here today by the American Meat
Packers association regarding prices
and their probable trends. The associa-
tion includes large and small packers.
With hungry nations in Europe de-
pending on this country for meat, the
increased demand is bound to keep
prices up, the association said. Instead
of reducing the demand for meat, the
signing Of the armistiee added 100000
900 mouths to feed, it was estimated.
