headed by President Wilson and then by the pleni-
potentaries of Great Britain France, Italy and ia
pan. The representatives of the minor powers

CAPITAL QUIET
AS HUNS SIGN
Washington Takes News Quietly
No Demonstration In Congress
or by Citizens.

Washington, June 2S.-Official
Washington took the signing of the
peace treaty calmly and quietly in
marked contrast to the riotous
demonstrations which greeted the
announcement of the signing of the
armistice.
Congress was wholly without
demonstration. In the senate Pres
ident Wilson's address to the Amer
ican people was ready by Senator
Hitchcock, the senior Democratic
member of the foreign relations
committee, but it passed without
comment. The house was not al
session at the moment, not asemD-
ling until noon. The marine band
serenading congress on the capitol
plaza was the only sign of celebra-
ton.
Diplomats keeping in close toucn
with the state department learned
of the news as it licked off the
special wire to Versailles. Througa-
out the city there were no demon
strations whatever by the men in
the streets.

Senate Center of Interest
AS Wilson Prepares
to Sail.

Washington, June 2S.-With the
departure from Paris tonight of
President Wilson preparatory 20
sailing tomorrow from Brest on the
George Washington the center of
interest as regards the treaty shifts
to the senate, ratification by which
is necessary for actual termination
of the war between this country
and Germany. Due to opposition to
the league of nations covenant-a
part of the treaty-and to certain
provisions of the treaty itself, the
contest in the senate is expected to
be long and bitter.
Interest also after today will be
more decidedly centered on the tour
Of the country by the president
soon after he has laid the treaty De-
fore the senate. While the itinerary
and other details have not been
made known, it is understad that
the president will go west as far as
the Pacific coast, making addresses
in support of the treaty and league
of nations covenant.
Britain May Ratify First.
AS the signing of the treaty must
be followed by formal ratification
before commercial relations with
Germany may be resumed, a spirit
of rivalry among the entente allies
to file notice of ratification with the
French secetaria in Paris may pc
expected to deevlop. The first ma
tion to resume relations with Ger
many, therefore, probably will be
among those whose forms of gov
ernment admit OF speedy action
such as Great Britain which may
