Washington, the guide books say,
Has planed by Maj. Pierre Charles
L'Enfant in imitation of Versailles.
II so, it has broken away from his
intentions. / know Versailles pretty
well, and / have gone about Wash
ington looking vainly for anything
more than the remotest resemblance.
There is something European about
Washington I admit, an Italianate
largeness as though Roman design
has been given oxygen and limitless
space. 1t is a capital in the expand
ed Latin style. 1t has none of the
vertical uplift of a real American
city. But Versailles!
Versailles was the home and en-
bodiment of the old French Grand
Monarchy and of Foreign Policy
that, sought to dominate, Frenchify,
and "Versaillize" the world. A visit
to Versailles is part of ones world
education, a visit to the rather
faded, rather pretentious magnifi-
cence of its terraces, to that Hall of
Mirrors, all plastered over with lit
tie oblongs Of looking glass, which
was once considered so wonderful,
to the stuffy, secretive royal apart
ments with their convenient back
stairs, TO the poor foolishness of the
Queens toy village, the Little Tria-
non. A century and a half ago the
people of France, wasted and worn
by incessant wars of aggression,
weary Of a government that was an
intolerable burden to them and a
nuisance to all Europe, went to Ver-
sailles in a passion and dragged
French Policy out of Versailles for
a time.
Unhappily it went back there.
Symbol of Quarrel
Between Two Countries.
In 1871, when Germany struck
down the tawdry imperialism Of
Napoleon III (who was also for set.
ting up emperors in the New World),
the Germans had the excessive bad
taste to proclaim a new German en-.
pire in the Hall Of Mirrors SO
that Versailles became more than
ever the symbol of the age.lons,
dresry. pitiful quarrel of the French
and Germans for the inheritance Of
''the empire" that has gone on ever
since the death of Chsrlemasne
There the glory OF France had
shone: there the glory Of France had
been eclipsed. I visited Versailles
one autumnal day In 1912, and Il was
then n rather mouldy, disheartened,
empty, picturesque show place, per-
vaded by memories of flounces,
furbelows, wigs and red heels. and
also by the stronger. less pleasant
flavor of that later Prussian triumph.
II was surely the least propitious
place In the whole world for the
making OF world peace in 1919. II
was Inevitable that there the Rhine
frontier should loom larger than all
Asia and that the German people
should be kept waiting outside to
learn what vindictive punishment
victorious France designed for them.
The peace OF Versailles was not n
settlement OF the world. Il was the
crowning OF the French revanche.
And since Russia had always been
below the horizon of Versailles Il
was as inevitable that the Russian

REPORTED
BY LEGION
Fear of Attack Causes Change
In Plans for War hief's Re-
ception in Pittsburgh.
International News Service.


PITTSBURGH. Nov. 10.-Discov'
cry of an alleged plot to attack Mar
shall Ferdinand Foch, Of France
caused last minute change in the
plans for a reception to the famous
general here today.
Originally he had been scheduled
to arrive at Pennsylvania Station.
Legion Tells Of Plot.
Early today, however. officials In
charge of his train were advised by
American Legion agents Of a plot
against the marshal.
1t was decided that no chances
would be taken, and his train was
shifted through Braddock a suburb.
Only the official reception commit.
tee and high city officials knew OF
the change of plans. They were the
only ones to welcome the marshal al
Braddock.
Thousands Of persons waited in vain
at the Pennsylvania station to get a
glimpse of the famous warrior. He
arrived In Braddock shortly after 8
o'clock.
The tip that an attempt might be
made to attack the French general
was given to American Legion Off
cials, 1t was said. by French resi-,
dent here. No details Of the reported
plot could be learned. Officials re-
fused to discuss 1t or give their rea'
sons for making the change in the
plans to bring Marshal Foch into the
Pennsylvania station.
Guarded on Trip West.
It was recalled today that when the
marshal passed through Pittsburgh
en- route to Kansas City last week,
Secret Service agents refused to allow
anyone to go near the train. A great
crowd had collected at the station TO
greet the marshal. but was kept away
from his car.
After Foch reached Braddock, he
was hastily bundled into a waiting
automobile and driven to Homestead
just across the river, where he was
taken through the great Homestead
plant of the United States Steel Cor
poration.
After his visit there he was taken
to Soldiers Memorial Hall, Pitts
burgh, where at 1890 o'clock-he re
ceived honorary degrees from the
University of Pittsburgh and from
Duquesne University.
Later a series Of receptions fol
lowed. At Q o'clock he is to head
a military and civic parade.
