A French detective lOunging at the

voires and companions under the win
dOws of the rooms looking over Yer

of the character Of the state guests
who had displaced civilian dodgers
and forced them to seek other shelter
in crowded Versailles. The detectives
did not interfere with traffic in the
street nor In the park. Orders evil
IDENTIFY had been given to make the
service of surveillance or protection
for the Germans as unobtrusive and
ds unobjectionable as possible.
Protection and avoidance of possible
unpleasant incidents, rather than re-
strlctions, will, in fact, be the purpose
OF such police measures as are taken.
according to statement made to the
Associated Press by one of the French
representatives assigned to the mis-
sion. The Germans will not be expect
ed and probably do not desire to ex-
tend their movements into the general
quarters Of Versailles, but they will be
allowed freedom of movement between
their two hotels.
