six servants.
The Germans were met at the sta-
ton by Colonel Henry of the mlhlsl'?
and M. Oudalle of the ministry or the
interior. who were delegated ny the
foreign office to take charge OF the
German representatives
The augmentation ina Hmbers of the
delegation above tho h anticipated
made it necessary to seek further adj
ditional quarters, and the Hotel water
probably will be requisitioned for the
telegraphers. newspaper correspond
ents and other attaches of the leu
ton mission.
The arrival of Lersner and his party
was so quietly arranged that few, If
any persons in Versailles were aware
of their presence.
Detectives Guard Hotel.
A French detective lounging at the
front entrance at the Hotel deS ReSer-
voires and companions under the win
dOws of the rooms looking over Yer
sailles park were the only indications
of the character of the state guests
who had displaced civilian dodgers
and forced them to seek other shelter
in crowded Versailles. The detectives
did not interfere with traffic in the
street nor in the park. Orders evi -,
IDENTIFY had been given to make the
service of surveillance or protectien
for the Germans as unobtrusive ana
as unobiectionable as possible.
Protection and avoidance of possible
unpleasant incidents. rather than re-
strictions. will, in fact, be the purpose
of such police measures as are taken,
according to a statement made to the
Associated Press by one of the French
representatives assigned to the mis-
sion. The Germans will not be expect
ed and probably do not desire to eS-
tend their movements into the general
quarters of Versailles, but they will be
allowed freedom of movement between
their two hotels.
Get Private Dining Room.
Nor is it expected that the Germans
will seek to extend their promenades
through the park of royal Versailles.
but necessary police precautions will
be taken to prevent annoyance.
Herr Lersner and his party went to-
their rooms on arriving and had break
fast served to them.
The large dining room in the main
| wing of the Hotel DIES Reservoirs has
been reserved for them.
The Germans remained in their
| rooms during the morning, but COM
menced in the afternoon to make the
| preliminary arrangements for the an ~
| 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
telephone and telegraphic connec-
| tons. The Germans will also be al
| lowed to use couriers who will enjoy
| full diplomatic immunity.
