PARTY OF GERMAN DELEGATES
 ARRIVED AT VERSAILLES

Paris, April 25.-By The A. P3-- The first Of the Germans who are to participate in the Versailles Congress arrived in Versailles today. in two parties The first group, consisting of three official couriers, arrived early in the day, and the second, headed by Herr Lersner came later. They were escorted to the Hotel Des Reservoirs.
 The arrival of Dersner and his parA ty was so quietly arranged that few, if any. persons in Versailles outside the carefully selected force of hotel servants assigned to their rooms and to the serving of meals, were aware even in the afternoon of their pres ence. A French detective of the most ob- vious plain clothes type lounging at the front entrance to that wing of the Hotel Des Reservoirs, and compan- ions under the windows of the rooms 1 looking over Versailles Park were the only indications of the character Of the state guests who had displaced 1 civilian lodgers. -- ] Protection and the avoidance of
 possible unpleasant incidents, rather | than restrictions. will be the purpose i Of such police measures as are taken, | according to a statement made to The Associated Press today by one of the 1 French representatives assigned to the
 mission. The Germans will not be ex- pected, and probably do not desires to
 extend their movements into the gen.
 eral quarters of Versailles. but they will be allowed fredeom of movement 1 between their two hotels.
 l Herr Lersner and his party imme-
 diately went to their rooms on arriv-
 ing and had breakfast served to them
 from the hotel kitchen by the hotei
 servants. This fact answered a ques-
 ton over which the French newspa- permen have been concerned-wheth- CT the Germans were expected to bring their own food to Versailles. It
 is now understood that they will have their own bills of fare on the same footing as the other peace delega-
 tionS. The Germans remained = in their rooms during the morning, but com menced this afternoon to make the preliminary arrangements for the ar rival of the main German delegation. This probably will be May 1. although the date has not been finally deter mined.
 The German delegation will be al- lowed to use code in communicating
 with Germany and will have direct
 telephonic and telegraphic connec-
 tions. The Germans will also be al- lowed to use couriers. who will enjoy
 full diplomatic immunity.
