ON PEACE TREATY
Coordination Commission is
Plan in Paris
RI This Associated Press.


PARIS, Oct. 16:-Immediately af-
ter formal ratification Of the treaty
of peace with Germany the supreme
council of the peace conference prob
ably will name a coordination COM
mission, the duties of which will be
to decide what bodies shall have
jurisdiction over matters not definite
ly assigned by the treaty.
This commission will, in a way,
carry on part of the work which has
been performed by the supreme
council which Is expected to close
within six weeks.
Manifestly the United States can
not be represented on this coordina-
ton committee until she ratifies the
treaty, General regret Is apparent
over the imp possibility to starve off all
the commissions created under the
treaty with full membership from
the great powers, as 1t would be
much simpler If all the permanent
members of the various commissions
could begin work simultaneously.

Once occupied by Maria Theresa,
this enchanting spot takes the
visitor back many generations, for
the old imperial bed is always an OBJ
ject of close scrutiny. The little foot
stool at its side is very necessary, for
the bed is extremely high from the
floor. with, an equal space between the
sleeper and the canopy overhead.
Along the sides and foot are hung
heavy red plush curtains, which can
be drawn together so as TO completely
enclose the bed.
Directly adjoining is an antique
room with blue and white color scheme,
The treasury is open to the public as
we'll on certain visiting Gays, but that
is a story by itself.
The palace was once an old mill
with no special Importance attached to
1t, and not until 1870 did Macmillan
acquire the spot and have a small cas-
tie thereupop erected. at which period
II was used as a shooting hox for wild
deer In the surrounding forest. This
castle was destroyed by the Turks in
1888. and was not rebuilt until the
year 100. by Leopold 1. From then
on 1t was used as a summer r-lace.
But to Maria Theresa 1t may claim its
present beauty, for she commissioned
Pacassi. a renowned architect. to erect
