VIEW OF EUROPE'S
PRESS ON SIGNING
London Is DistrustfuI of Ger
many-Paris Sees
Task Ahead.

BY the Associated Press
LONDON. June 24.-Profound dis
trust of Germany is the predominant
note in London press comments on
the German governments decision to
sign the treaty of peace. 1t is con-
tended the Germans proved them
selves treacherous throughout the
war. the latest instance being the
sinking of their informed fleet in
Scapa Flow, and therefore it would
lie premature to celebrate peace un-
til the treaty is actually signed. Even
afterward, it is sad, 1.-THE allies must
be continually on guard until the
last penalty is paid.
The Herald. a socialist organ, says:
Germany cannot and will not keep
the treaty. because it is based on
force instead of Justice
Relief Expressed in Paris.
PARIS. June 24.-1n such headlines
as Really peace at last" does the
the formal end of the great war. Edi-
torial writer's embroider their text
with comments in keeping with the
principles professed by their respec-
tive newspapers, but none of the writ
ers is entirely jublant. Underlying
all the comment is the feeling that
the task which lies ahead is almost
equal to that of winning the war.
The task" says Alfred Capus. in
the Figaro, lis not above the strength
of this nation which comes out of the
war with a prestige that remains
only to be converted into prosperity"
Peace is something more than
contract between the belligerent pow
erS. 1t also is a mental state. 1t con-
taIns. if we know how to extract the
essence in full. a policy and So
cial philosophy whose formula emerge
day by day. Our, intellectual life for
long age to come will be founded
upon it, From it We shall draw our
new methods of feeling and thinking"
SOLDIERS Work Is Crowned"
The Journal lauds the soldiers whose
work now is crowned. 1t says:
How many fell without knowing
and without even dimly foreseeing the
reward for their sacrifices. You
heroes of the Marine. the User. Yer
dun and the Somme, it is you who
have broken the indomitable AFRO
gance of the Germans, 1t is you who
enabled mankind to glimpse, if not
to prepare for an era of lasting
peace"
The quotations from the comments
of the Figaro and the journal are
characteristic of the general editorial
attitude.

but nothing was heard from Versailles
until shortly after 3 o'clock pm. a
telephone message from Versailles
then announced the arrival of the
German reply, which it was known to
a few of the initiated was favorable.
The first definite announcement, how
ever, was made to American corre-
spondents at the French press head
quarters at Quai D'Orsay at 4:50
O'Clock, it being stated that an
affirmative reply had been delivered
to Col. Henry. liaison officer between

II was not long after the reply had
been received and opened before the
supreme council that guns began to
boom from the forts around Paris and
rejoicing crowds began to stream
through the streets. having been ap-
prised by the sound of cannon that
the Germans have accepted the
allied terms. Allied flags " ere flung
out as if by magic from windows.
Automobiles loaded with cheering
doughboys and excited poilus, dashed
through the thoroughfares. Church
bells throughout the city were peal
ing everywhere. and cheering ami
mated throngs gave evidence of the
joy with which the Partisan crowds
welcomed the end of the long years
of agony and tension.

actly as he felt them. and not as
British propagandists' have been

Favors Simple Ceremony.

Plans for the cermony attending
the signature of the treaty were con-
sidered by the supreme council to-
day. 1t is said President Wilson
favors making it as simple as is
consistent with the nature of the
event. and the original plans for the
conclusion of "the second peace of
Versailles" have been materially
modified at his suggestion.
The plenipotentiaries will be seated
on a raised dais, in the center of the
vast hall of mirrors. in the chateau of
Versailles, upon which will be installed
the table upon which the treaty will be
signed. The program does not contem-
plate any set addresses, but it is be-
lieved possible that both Premier Glenn
enceau and the leading German delegate
may make short speeches. The dclega-
tons will come to the table when called
upon by Secretary Paul Dutasta to affix
their signatures opposite the seals which
will prior to the event be fixed to the
instrument.

Students Revel About Trophies.

The celebration soon assumed a more
tumultuous character and by s O'Clock
in the evening Paris seemed bent on
INDUCING in an excited demonstration
of JOY. Bands of students had taken
possession of the German trophy can

Elysees. from the Arch Of Triumph to
Place de la Concorde and We're drag
ging them in a procession through the

of cheering youths. Special editions
of newspapers with huge captions:

news sellers by excited Parisians going
home from work.
The city hall was brilliantly lighted.
and in the square before it and in
other open spaces improvised jazz
bands appeared and informal balls be-
gan. only to be stopped by unsym-
pathetic poius who declared that
dancing was not authorized except on

all theaters and motion picture houses

Americans Join Carnival.

High carnival reigned in the boule-
wards far into the night. and scenes
enacted at the time of the armistice
were repeated. and indeed intensified.
Dense throngs swayed back and forth,
shouting. singing and waving flags.
Motor trucks loaded with American
soldiers armed with all kinds of noise
producing apparatus threaded their
way through the masses. From the win
dows of packed cafes floated patriotic
strains, the orchestras playing tire
lessly. urged on by the jewellers.
Women in mourning. to whom the
official end of the war brought remem-
brances only of wooden crosses, were
observed here and there in the noisy
crowds, weeping silently.
Celebrations were nowhere more en-
thusiastic than at Lille and other cities
and towns in territory wrested from
the Germans.
Ne vspapers printed special editions,
cheering crowds paraded the streets
and the houses were decked with allied
flags. At Toulon, Brest and other
naval ports, warships announced the
news to the people by firing salutes of
twenty-one guns. In all the cities
government buildings were illuminated

up to the convcning Of the next scs-

time the Commission should be able to
report full and complete success.
The impression has prevailed that
the proposed memorial building would,
in effect, be but college chapel on
the University grounds; this is incor-
rect. The proposed building would be
a historic museum for South Carolina,
and it's location, while on grounds
held by the University trustees, would
not in any way hinder it's "se by the
general public. 1t would not be IL
theory or in fact, merely a part of the
University, but both in theory ant
fact, a state Memorial. There also
has been an effort to have the type o
memorial changed to Il hospital, bu
the soldiers, through the American
Legion, have spoken decidedly agains
this proposition.
We appeal to the various countc
