GERMANS ARE SATISFIED
Well Pleased With Reception Given
Them BY Allies and Now Look For
Peace Based On Equality

Versailles, May :, (By the ASSOCIATE
ed Press.) 1.-The German delegates to
the peace conference today expressed
themselves we'll satisfied that the first
meeting Thursday with the Allies and
the United States took the form Of q
mutual exchange Of credentials rather
than a onc-sided demand for the pro-
duction of the German papers for pur-
pose Of identification. They take this
as an indication that the negotiations
are to be conducted on a basis OF
equality.
A little furry was caused in both
Allied and German circles today by a
press dispatch reporting that Prince
Henry of Prussia was coming to Yer
sailles as a naval delegate. This re-
port was erroneous. 1t was due to
the confusion of a name of a German
naval officer, Captain Heinrich, with
that of former Emperor Williams
brother.
