in the world and is made historic b.
many memorable events. 1t has a sen
timental history in that it appears t
have been a trysting place for NapOl
con and Josephine in the days of tn
first empire" Twas here that Ma
poleon, freed for a time from the dil
of battle and the cares of State, woul'
repair with his charming wife and il
the beautiful palace at Versailles sh
enjoyed more pleasure than since sht
was the lonely creole of Martinique
But now all eyes are turned TOWARD
Versailles for another purpose. 1t i!
here that the belligerent nations o.
the world expect to make peace thai
will insure the safety of the worlC
against any hereafter reprisals. AND
it appears we all must have something
to say about it; for myself, however
have concluded to let the Congress
of the Nation adjust matters as best
they can for the safety of the world
believing that they know what they are
about and will egislate for best in
| terests to themselves and after that to
| the interest of others. But we can
not but be interested in the DISPOSE
tion of Turkey, so often called "the
Sick Man of Europe" The European
Nations, to maintain the balance of
power, have on all occasions, when
disruption was threatened, catered to
this sick man., but when he is free
to act he is no longer sick, but COM
panion of the Hun in deViltry and
atrocity. Drive him across the Bos-
phorus into Asia; Europe has no fur
kk,ar faYs fVra 70 C
expatriated from Europe, then can the
Christian nations of Armenia and
along the Archipelago have a peace
that passeth understanding; something
they, perhaps, have never known. The
Congress at Versailles is supposed to
fix all this and give to the down-trOd
den of Europe a government for the
people by the people. How about ex-
Kaiser Bill? We will await events
regarding his ex-majesty.
