WITHIN WALLS OF HISTORIC VERSAILLES
PALACE, SYMBOL OF DIVINE RIGHT OF KINGS, -
GERMAN DELEGATES SIGN PEACE TREATY
(By John T. Parkoruon, International
Mewa (Service HtafT Correapondent.)
Versailles, France, June 28,
The German empire haa ended
where It waa founded. The mlsrht
lest military power the world haa
ever known haa been shattered
and humbled almost", the point
of Impotenry.
Within the magnificent palace
which in itself waa erected a
symbol of the' divine rlRht of
kings, and which In the preaent
century wag rededicated to that
conception by the war lords of
Prussia, the democracies of the
earth have foregathered and pro
nounced the verdict.
During 250-odd years which
have Intervened since the erec
tion of the famous palace of Ver-
sallies, civilization hn traversed
a Ions; and uncertain route, but
the scene itself, which hns figured
so consplcuouely in history and
cut such a deep Impression Into
the heart of France, It little
changed In outward appearance.
The fresh touch of springtime
has brought out the wild violets,
daisies and a profusion of other
flowers, while treetops are
adorned with misletoe and the
grounds round about strewn with
Ivy. Kxcept for the occasional
hum of an airplane there Is no
sign above the roof to Indicate
the world has moved from tHe
sixteenth to the twentieth cen
tury. The birds slngr much aa
they must have sung In the days
of old Louis XIV. himself, and
one can almost feel the depres
sion In the atmosphere which
swept throughout France because
of the luxury and extravagance
of kings and queens who in days
long past, cared naught for the
poverty and misery caused to
their subje'ets by royal lives of
revelry and shame.
It was Into this relic-place of
the old world that the represen.
tatlves of the new world met the
German delegates. A long horse
shoe table placed In the hall of
mirrors Galerle des ,aiaces
around which sat the distin
guished coterie of the great na
tions, was the Immediate setting;
upon which all mankind visual
ized Ha future hopes.
The actual signing; of the
treaty took place near the center
of the great chamber, while, oddly
enou&h, at the south end. where,
Jan. 18, 1871, stood the dlaa
flanked by Prussian guards
from which the creation of the
German empire was proclaimed
to the world, was reserved for
the press. Thus from the exact
spot where the light of '71 had
burned so dimly for France, the
stroke of the pen replaced the
flash of the sword and heralded
broadcast almost within the
twinkle of an eye the dawn of tha
new day.
The delegates entered the Hall
of Mirrors by the marble staircase
which took them through the
queen's apartments, wherein
there Is a striking picture which
probably was not without its ef
fect on the Germans a portrait
of the late Paul Droulede, apostle
of "La Revanche," Just as one
might have imagined hint at the
annual pilgrimages to the Strass
bourgr statue on the Place do la
Concerde.
The apartments of King Louis
XIV., Including the bedroom
where he died, the ante-chamber
and the Salle de l'Oell de Boeuf,
were used as special rooms by the
allied and associated delegations,
while the Hotel des Reservoirs,

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. In what states Is marriage be
tween cousins forbidden? Has such
marriage been demonstrated as un
desirable? V. E. D.
A. Marriage between cousins Is
forbidden by law in Alaska, Arizona,
Arkansas. Illinois. Indiana, Kansas,
Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire,
North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Ore
gon, South Dakota, Washington and
Wyoming. Experts on eugenics state
that Intermarriage of blood relatives
is likely to Intensify In the children
any family traits that are common
in both parents. Where there are
family weaknesses Intermarriage Is,
therefore, undesirable. If theTe are
no dangerous common weaknesses
the offspring are likely to be normal,
and if there v common traits of
strength, these may be intensified In
the offspring. Scientists generally
are not as strongly opposed to mar
riage of cousins as is public opinion.
Q. What nationality Is most In
clined to Insanity? D. S. A.
A. The 1910 census showed that
there were 15,517 Germans In the in
sane asylums of this country, and
that this was the largest number of
any nationality.
Q. Is the Fourth of July a national
or state holiday? f. j.
A. The Fourth of July has never
been made a national holiday by act
of congress. It has been made a le
gal holiday by every state in the
Union, and its observance, therefore,
Is on state authority. John Adams
probably originated the idea of its
being a holiday when, on July 4,
1776, In a speech 'he prophesied that
t would come) to be celebrated by
proper displays, shows, sports and
fireworks. . It was Immediately after
this speech that John Hancock or
dered the ringing of old Liberty Bell,
thus Inaugurating the first celebra
tion.
Q. Can cross eyes be made nor
mal? E. F.
A. It Is visually possible by a com
paratively simple operation of cutting
the muscles whicn hold tne eye
crooked, thus allowing it to come
back to normal. v
Q. Who discovered radium? N. J.
A. Radium was discovered in 1898
by Marie Curie,, of Paris, and Mon
sieur Curie, her husband. The credit
for the discovery is assigned chiefly
to Madame Curie.

brief. All inquiries are confidential,

Individual.)
Q. What Is the explanation of the
excessive growth of giants? W. R.
A. Giants suffer from a disease of
a gland at the base of the skull. An
XVray picture of'the brain will show
ilFthls gland Is affected. Children of
abnormal growth or corpulence
should be examined In this respect,
and if affected, should be treated.
Q. How should Mary Smith, mar.
ried to John Smith, be addressed?
C. 8.
A. -Is Is considered preferable to
call her Mrs. John Smith. Should she
become a widow, however, she would
be addressed ss Mrs. Mary Smith.
Q. How may broken crockery be
mended? S. W.
A. One of the strongest cements,
according to the Scientific American
Cyclopedia of Formulaes, and one
easily applied, Is lime and the white
of an egg. To use it, take a sufficient
quantity of the egg to mend' one ar
ticle at a time, shave off a quantity
of lime, and mix .thoroughly. Apply
quickly to the edges, and place firmly
together. Mix but a small quantity at
a time, as it hardens quickly. i
' Q. How did the fourth of March
come to be chosen as the day for the
Inauguration of presidents? O. H. C.
A. Benjamin Franklin selected
this date because it fell hiss fre
quently on Sunday, than any other
date In the year during the two cen
turies that were to follow.
Q. Where the marriage Is kept
secret and the license is not pub
lished, Is Jt still legal? T. B. D.
A. Tes. Secrecy of a marriage
has nothing to do with its legality.
Q. What is a shooting star? S. N.
A.
A. The best accepted theory of the
shooting star is that it is a piece of
mhtter thrown oft by some planet
suiffl which travels through space at
great speed. When It strikes the at
mosphere that surrounds the earth
the friction heats It until It becomes
luminous or even until it Is entirely
consumed. '

UP
built by Jjouis XV. for Madame
de Pompadour, housed the chief
representatives of the Germans.
In the Salle du Conseil, or
counsel chamber, where virtually
all the great decisions were taken
governing the course of France
under Louis XTV.. XV., and
XVII., President Wilson, Pre
miers Lloyd George, Clemenceau
and Orlando, and the Japanese
representative, with the spokes
men of the Germans, met pri
vately for a brief conference Just
before entering the Hall of Mir
rors, v
It was in this room, President
Wilson was told, that the de
cision was taken to send La
fayette to the aid of the Amer
ican revolution the decision
which happily resulted in laying
a firm foundation for the great
human force wtildh, at the crucial
moment of the. world war, threw
in its lot with the French and
the other self-governing; people
of Europe to "make the world
safe for democracy."
An immense amount of work
had to be done to adapt the an
cient palace to the requirements
of a twentieth century peace
conference. For the first time in
history the sound of the telephone
bell and the typewriter has been
heard in the Intimate apartments
of the kings and queens of France
Indeed, in the very room where
Marie Antoinette, in 1779. heard
the Paris mob from without
Bhrieking for her blood, and in
the room also of the beautiful
and artful Madame de Malntenon,
who, earlier, was practically mis
tress of France.
These were symbols of me
chanical changes brought about
by time and the untrammelled op
portunity of a people in another
land to develop their natural in
stincts and inclinations freely
the same people to whom Lafay
ette was-sent, and by whose un
selfish aid In the cause of human
liberty the king who acquiesced In
his going selfishly believed he
might overturn the balance
abroad and make himself abso
lute master ,of Europe.
But the seed Lafayette sowed
was not the seed of empire, and
today the newspaper correspond
ents of the various countries, and
not the intriguers of royalty, are
working against time In the great
hall of the battles Galerie des
BataillPS next in importance to
the Hall of Mirrors itself, in their
effort to acquaint the people of .
the world with the facts attend
ing the deliberations of their
chosen representatives.
One of the great paintings
these men are looking upon
nbove and over the frame of their
typewriters Is that commemorat
ing the British surrender of
Yorktown. Others are pictures
of fetes of arms at Lille, Denaln
and Dunkirk, which recall
names immortalized in the war
Just closed. Thus the work of the
livlnor is mingled with the work
of tha dead past, and thus, also
Is it Impressed firmly upon the
German delegates themselves
that men's minds had changed
long before the inception of the
world war; that they no longer
dwelt in centuries forgotten, and
that, possibly with the exception
of the ex-kaiser and those who
immediately surrounded him. no
thought of erecting a statue, such
as the subjects of old Louis once
did, representing him enthroned
with conquered nations in chains
nt his feot, would at this day be
seriously considered outside the
roynl realm of the movies.
It is, indeed, a new world that
hns arisen from the very thresh
hold of the old from innermost
chambers once consecrated to the
whispers of Imperial Intrigue,
rind the peaccfulness and quiet
ude of it is probahly what de
presses one now at Versailles.
Hut from th placards in front
the theatre adjoining the Ho
tel de Reservoirs there comes a
note of hope. It Is a simple ad
vertisement, printed In French
and referring to an American
cinema actor, whose abilities as
enterlnlner will soon be seen on
the Versailles screen in "Une
A venture an Far West!"

The serious concern about the mounting
1 . . T . 1
costs of necessities "was shown not long
. aT ...
ago i when twenty-six Democratic members ot tne Massachusetts legislature cabled to
President Wilson that "The citizens of the United States want you home to help reduce
the high cost of living which we consider far more important than the League of Nations.
A man's suit of clothes that cost $15.00 in 1914 costs $26.00 to-day; shoes that
were $9.00 in 1914 cost. $15.50 now; a woman's suit that cost $15.00 in 1914 is $24.00
to-day; every item in both men's and women's wearing apparel has nearly doubled in
price, while food, shelter, fuel, heat, and. light have soared to, equally high levels. This
condition prompts the Detroit News to declare that "what the eating, sleeping, and dressing
world wants to know is whether the cost of necessities is justified?" The consumer finds
it hard to understand, according to the Buffalo Evening News, "why six months after the
end of fighting, prices instead of taking a fall, are forever rising."
THE LITERARY DIGEST presents this week in its leading article i comprehensive survey of the;
elements affecting present living costs; comparative tables showing the difference in prices of many articles ;
in 1914 arid to-day, the opinions of bankers, merchants, and manufacturers 'as to the future outlook, -and '
the observations of editorial writers throughout the country on the situation. This article should be of
