LOUIS XIV BUILT IT IN 1861
By JNo. CALVIN sToUDT.

(StOudt is n student in the Topeka high

The great palace of Versailles will
come into the worlds eye on May Is
as the meeting place of the German
peace delegates and the allies. The
founding of this magnificent palace
was begun in the seventeenth century
by Louis XIII, who established on
the spot where the city now stands a
hunting lodge built of logs as rest
ing place for himself and followers.
1t was Louis XIV who began the
construction of the actual palace in
1851. The huge edifice required many
years to complete and no one knows
how much 1t cost France and how lit
tie the workmen received for their
labor. The palace is located eleven
miles northwest of Paris and covers
several acres of ground. The king
was grossly extravagant and is said to
have burned the bills sent him for ma
teriaI and labor. rendering an approx
nation of the expense of the project
impossible today.

One cannot enter this wonderful
Palace without feeling grateful to the
Bourbon king who left so beautiful a
structure to France and posterity- OF
the hundreds of rooms, one of the
most notable is the hall of mir
rcrs, where everything going on in the
court is reflected to the visitor inside.
It was here the grandfather of the
former kaiser was crowned emperor
of Germany.
1t is estimated that it would take
one seven days of five hours each to
see all the works of art in this palace

to each painting. 1t would require
fifteen hours to see all the rooms were
