Chinese Sought Reservation.
The action of China In refusing to
sign the treaty did not surprise the
Council of Four. China had served
notice that unless the Shantung
question was brought up again for
reconsideration and clauses Of the
settlement were modified for eventual
Incorporation in the treaty, she would
withhold her signature. Her dele
gates made a similar reservation at
the secret session held IN the Quai
d'Orsay the day before the treaty was
presented to the Germans. .- o.
At that time the Chinese. in pro-
testing the Shantung decision. made
1t clear that the delegation was I'M
der moral obligations to the 100000
600 people Of the country not to sign
a. treaty embodying such an injustice.
They tried to have the reservation
embodied then In the treaty, but the
Council ruled against them. Since
them more than thousand cabled
protests from China and other parts
Of the world have served to
strengthen the determination of the
delegates not to. accept the decision
Of the conference.

ceremony. The thoroughfare was kept
clear by pickets, dragons and mounted
gendarmes.
In the meantime, thousands OF Paris
ians were packing the regular and spe-
cial trains upon the lines leading to Ver-
sallles and contending with the residents
Of the town itself for places in the park
where the famed fountains of Versailles
would mark the end of the ceremony.
The automobiles bearing delegates and
secretaries had reserved for their use the
Avenue du Paris, the broad boulevard
leading direct to the chateau's court Of
honor, French soldiers being ranged
along the highway on both sides. At the
end Of the court a guard of honor was
drawn up to present arms as the lead
ing plenipotentiaries passed, this guard
comprising company of Republican
Guards in brilliant uniform. The en-
trance for the delegates was by the
marble stairway TO the Queens Apart
ments" and the Hall of Peace. giving
access thence to the Hall Of Mirrors. The
walls of these apartments were hung
with unique Gobelin tapestries.
The route to the peace table for the
plenipotentiaries was through a space
reserved for some 400 privileged guests
who were instructed to be in their seats
well in advance of the entry OF the
delegates. It had been arranged that
the delegations, instead OF struggling in
without order. as when the original
terms of peace were communicated to the
Germans, should enter by groups. each
one being formally announced By ushers
from the French Foreign Office.

CIemehceau's Speech Is Brief.

The session was formally called to
order by Premier Clemenceau at $40
o'clock. Tie made n brief speech in
which he put the direct question to the
Germans as to whether they were WILL
ing to sign and loyalty execute all the
terms OF the treaty. There was a. tense
pause and then. after a moments delay.
William Martin, master of ceremonies.
escorted the German plenipotentiarirs to
the signatory table. where they affixed
their signatures TO the treaty. the proto-
col and the Polish undertaking. Much
of the expected dignity Of the proceed
ing was lost because Of the crowd and
the confusion.
The German signatories. DR.. Mueller
and DR.. Bell. put their names to the
document at , :12 and 3:13 o'clock re-
spectively. The American delegation
came next. led by President Will
son and followed by Secretary Lam
sing. Henry White. Col. House and Gen
Bliss in the order named. 1t took them
but n minute TO complete their task and
at 3:14 the treaty was ready for the

George. -
The representatives Of the British Do
minions signed after the British dele
gates in the following order: For Can

Justice; sir George Foster. Minister OF
Trade and Commerce. and Arthur L.

VI. Clemenceau with the French dele
gates were the next in line for the sign
ing. and then Baron saijion and the
other japanese delegates. The Italians
came after the Japanese. and they in
turn were followed by the representa-
tives OF the smaller Powers.
During the attaching of the sigma
lures of the great Powers and the Ger
mans a battery OF motion picture ma
chimes and cameras clicked away so
audibly that they could be heard above
the general disorder.
China's failure to send her delegates
to the ceremony created much COM
ment. The vacant seats OF the Chinese
were noted early in the proceedings. but
1t was expected that the delegates would
arrive later. Then the report was circu-
lated officially that the Chinese would
rot sign without reservation.

At precisely 210 o'clock the peace
treaty was deposited on the table in the
Hall of Mirrors by William Martin or
the French Foreign ONCE Its case was
of stamped leather and Il looked impos-
ing, as behtted perhaps the most mo-
mentous document OF history. A box OF
old fashioned goose quilts, sharpened by
the expert pen pointer OF the French For
eign Office. was placed on each OF the
three tables for the use of those plenipo-
tentiaries who wished TO observe the
traditional formalities.
During the forenoon two large chairs
Of honor had been placed in the hall for
the presidents OF the French Senate and
Chamber of Deputies. Additional rows
Of benches covered with tapestry were
arranged for the mar shals and generals
Of the allied armies and for the guests

After Premier Lloyd George entered
many Of the delegates pressed forward
to seek the autographs OF the members
Of the Council of Four and they busted
themselves In signing copies of the off,
cial programme until the arrival OF the
Germans decorous cheer went UP
shortly before o'clock when fifteen
men from the American. British and
French armies appeared in the hall.
On the stroke of 3 a hush fell over
the hall. The silence was almost i'm
mediately broken by shouts from the
crowd for persons who were standing
to sit down so as not To obstruct the
view. Many OF the delegates appeared
to show surprise a. the disorder. which
did not end until all the spectators either
had seated themselXss~or found places
against the walls.
At minutes past DR.. Hermann Muei-
Ter. the Germany Secretary for Foreign
Affairs. and Dr. Johannes Bell. the Co
lonial Secretary, were shown In. They
quietly made their way to their seats
at the left of the Y shaped table. Their
composure was admirable and they man.

Beyond the demonstration for Presi-

Lloyd George, the main interest of the
people about the palace was conferred
in the arrival and departure OF the

rival OF the Germans, but despite the
precautions OF the soldiers great crowds
