VERSAILLES SCENE
 OF HUN TRIUMPH

Paris. December 12.-Versailles, where the peace conference is to be held, has tragic memories for France as the scene of her great humiliation when on January IS, 1871, in the fla nous Galleries des Glaces, King Will liam of Prussia was proclaimed Ger man Emperor. About five weeks later the French envoys were forced to sign the preliminaries of the hard peace inn posed upon France by Bismarck.
 The Germans set an imposing stage for the first ceremony. Old King Will liam, the Crown Prince Frederick, fath- CT of the last German Emperor; Bis marck. MoltlSe and other Prussian gen erals and princes. assembled for a re- ligious service. After the sermon was preached the King read a patent es- tablishing the empire.- and Bismarck followed with the proclamation, which concluded: May God grant us and our successors ever to be increasers of the German empire, not by warlike con quests, but wit hthe graces and gifts of peace for the national well being, for freedom and civilization"
 Cheers for the new Emperor were led by the Grand Duke of Baden.
 It was at Bismarcks lodgings in the Rue De Provence, Versailles that he negotiated the peace treaty prelimIn- aries with the French representatives Thiers and Favre. The French were compelled to agree to the surrender of Alsace and much of Lorraine, and to pay an indemnity of s1 900, 900 900. and to submit to German entry into Paris and a German occupation of a large area in France.

 GERMANY CRIPPLED FOR YEARS IN AIR

London, December 5.-For the allies to take 20o0 airplanes from Germany, in ac- cordance with the terms of the armi- stice. means military crippling Germany in the air beyond hope of early recov- cry, while immensely adding to the aerial strength of the allies, says an aviation expert. This is emphasized. he says by the fact that in five months of the heav- fest air fighting of the war, Germany lost in aerial combat with the British alone something like 37o0 machines. To this total must be added the destruction wrought by the French and American air services.
 The expert asserts that for several mcnths before the armistice. Germanys capacity for producing airplanes was unequal to the task of replacing her inn mense losses. This. he adds, was strik- ingly illustrated by the almost complete failure of her air arm during the final and most critical phase of the war
