Washington Hears

Washington, June 28.-WorC
tof the cOnsummatiOn of peace
was received by the national
capital with scarcely a fluttel
of popular or official sentiment
AT the White House and the
state department, the news ar
oused only quite feeling OF
satisfaction that the pre-arrang
ed program for the signing at
Versailles had gone through. In
congress there was but a NOM
entary demonstration and on
the streets the crowd gave no
show of interest.
The story of the historic cere-
mOny flashed over a direct wire
to the state department, was
given to the press in bulletins,
keeping close steps with the de-
velOpments in the Hall of Mir
rOrs. The account was brief, and
was made public without COM
AS soon as the signing was
message to the American people
announcing the long-awaited
event and appealing for accept
ance of the treaty without
chang or reservation, was made
public atthee White House to-
gether with some details of the
presidents home coming.

congress was informed
that the Versailles negotiations
were at an end.
1t was expected tonight that
an official notification would a.
wait the arrival of Mr.. Wilson
and would be delivered in per-
son by him at a joint session of
the senate and house.
In the senate chamber, to
which the nations interest in
The outcome of the peace nego-
cations now is transferred, an
of the signing was
received in silence. Interrupting
an appropriation bill debate,
Senator Hitchcock, Nebraska,
senior democrat of the foreign
1elagtions committee, read the
presidents messages to an at
,entive audience comprising less
han half the senate's member
ship. Without any comment he
hen relinquished the floor and
the appropriation debate pro-
,eeded.
The house punctuated the
reading of the message With
applause and there was short |

name was read at

sion of it, the only comment be-
ng an announcement by former |
Speaker Clark, when he sent 1t
% the clerks desk to be read,
hat he wanted to put into the
'ecord some good news.

Sign Peace Ternls,Waf Over

Versailles, June 2S-(by The
Associated Press).- Germany
and the allies and associated
powers signed the peace terms
here today in the same imperial
hall where the Germans humb-
led the French SO ANONYMOUSLY
48 years ago.
This formally ended the world
war which lasted just 81 days
less than five years. Today, the
day of peace, is the fifth ami
yersary of the murder of Arch
duke Francis Ferdinand at Sera-
jevo.
The ceremony of signing the
peace terms was brief. Premier
Clemenceau called the session
to order in the hall of Mirrors of
the Chateau of Versailles at g..
IL o'clock. The signing began
and Johannes Bell, the German
signatOries, affixed their names.
Herr Mueller signed at 3:12 o.
clock and Herr Bell at 3:13 o.
clock.
President Signs.
President Wilson first of the
allied delegates, signed a minute
later AT 3:45 o'clock the mo-
mentous session was conclud-
ed.
All the diplomates and memb-
ers OF their parties wore conven-
tional civilian clothes. There
was a marked lack of gold lace
and pagantry. There were few
of the fanciful uniforms of the
middle ages whose traditions
and practices are SO sternly con-
demned In the great sealcover-
ed document signed today.
Guards Present.
A spot of color was made a.
gainst this sOmbre background
by the French guards. A few
selected members of the guard
there resplendent in their red
plumed silver helmets and red
white and blue uniforms.
AS contrast with the Franco
German peace session of 1871, !
held in the same hall, there were |
present today grizzled French
veterans of the Franco-Prussian
war. They replaced the Prus-
sian guardsmen of the previous
ceremony and the Frenchmen
today watched the ceremony
with grim satisfaction.
The conditions of 1871 were
reversed. Today the dis
ciples of Bismark sat in the
seats of the lowly while the
white marblestatue of Minerva,
Goddess of War, looked on.
Overhead, on the frescoed cell
ing, were scenes from Frances {
ancient wars.
Chinese Refuse to Sign. i
Three incidents were empha-
sized by the smOOthness with
which the ceremony was con-
lucted. The first of these was
he failure of the Chinese de- S
cation to sign. The second was =

sage, given out here by Secre.
tary Tumuly, said:
My fellow countrymen: The
treaty of peace has been signed
If it is ratified and acted upon
lin full and sincere execution OF
its terms, it will furnish the
charter for a new order of af-
fairs in the world. 1t is a severe
treaty in the dutiees and penal
Flses it imposed upon Germany,
but it is severe only because of
great wrongs done by Germany,
are to be righted and repaired
it imposes nothing that Ger
many cannot do; and she can
regain her rightful standing
in the world by the prompt and
honorable fulfillment of it's
terms.
"And it is much more than a
treaty of peace with Germany.
1t iberates great peoples who
have never before been able TO
find the way to liberty. 1t ends,
once for all, an old and intol-
cradle order under which small
groups of selfish men could use
the peoples of great empires to
serve their ambition for power
and domination. 1t associates
free government in which they
are pledged to use their power
to maintain peace by maintain
ing right and justice. 1t makes
International law a reality sup
ported by imperative sanctions.
1t does away with the right of
conquest and rejects the policy
Of annexation and substitutes a
new order under which back
ward nations populations
which not yet come to political
consciousness and peoples who
are ready for independence but
not yet quite prepared to dis
)ense with protection and guild

which undertake to be reaspon-
ible for the opinion of mankind
n the execution of their task
~ accepting the direction of the
ague of Nations. 1t reconizes

very kind. 1t furnishes guaran-
ees such as were neve given or
ven contemplated for the fair
reatment of all who labor at
he daily task of the world.
1T is for this reason that i
ave spoken of it as a great
harter for a new order of af-
airs. There is ground here for
eep satisfaction. universal re-
ssurance and confident hope.

general public, came from th'
Germans. When the program
for the ceremony was shown tt
lthe German delegation, Herr
won Maimhausen, of the Ger.
man delegation, went to Colone
Henry, French iaison offices,
and protested. He said:
1--WE cannot admit that the Ger
man delegates should enter the
hall by a different door than
the entente delegates; nor that
military honors should be with
held. Had we known there
would be such arrangements be-
fore, the delegates would not
have come" %
Afteer a conference with the
French foreign ministry, it was
decided, as a compromise, to
render military honors as the
Germans left. Otherwise the
program was not changed.
