WOK | J) I'K.VCK TREATY SI(iNKi)
War Which lasted Nearly Five Year*
Formally Knded Saturday.
Versailles June !W.---WorM peace wuh
signed and waled in the hUtorlo bull
of minora at Versailles this afternoon,
but under ciivuuistauces which somewhat
dimmed the expectations of thoae who
bad worko<l and fought during long yearH
of war and months of uegotitUjons for
its achievement.
The absence of the Chine? delegates,
who at the last moment were unable to
reconcile themselves to the Shautung set
tlement and l?*ft the easterif empire out
side the formal purview of peaeo, struck
the first discordant note in the assembly,
A written protest which (Jen. Jan Chris
tian Smuts lodged with bis signature was
^pother disappointment to the maker*
of the treaty.
<But, hulking larger was the attitude
<*P Germany and the German plenlpoten*
tiaries, which left, th?n, as evident from
the official program of the day and from
the expression of M. Clemenceau, still
outside ? any formal reconciliation and
made actual restoration to regular re
lations and intercourse with the allied
nations dependent, not upon tbiy signa
ture of ''preliminaries of peace" today
but upon ratification by the national as
sembly.
To M. Clemenceau's stem warning In
his opening remarks that they would be
expected, and held, too, to serve the
treaty provisions legally and completely, *
the Germau delegates, hrough Dr. Hanlel
vou Haimhausen, replied after returning
to the hotel that had they kuowu they
would be treated on a different status
after signing than the allied representa
tives, as . shown (by their separate exit
before the general body of the confer
ence, they never would have signed^
Cnder the circumstances _ the general
ton e of sentiment in the historic sitting
was one rather of relief at the uucoustro
vertible end of hostilities than of com
plete and un ployed satisfaction.
The ceremopy . came to ? n dramatic
clos in fact.. reached its highf^t dra
matic pitch ? with the wild enthusiastic
reception of president Wilson, M. Clem
enceau and Mr. Lloyd George by the
crowds outside the palace, who ignored
or disregarded the minor discords of the
day. They tore the three statcKcm from
their escorts and almost carried them
boldly in their progress through the
chateau grounds.* to watch the playing
of the fountains a part of the program
which had been planned as a dignified!
state processional df all the plenipo
tiaries.
Germany ami the allied and associated
powers signed the peace terms here today
in the same imperial hall where the Ger
mans humbled the French ""so ignoiniuious
l.v 48 year? ago.
This formally ended the world war
which lasted just 37 days less than five
years. Today, the day of peace, is the
fifth anniversary of the murder of the
Archduke Francis Ferdinand at Sara
jevo.
The ceremony of signing the peace
terms was brief. Premier Cleme4teau
called the session to rder in the hall
of mirrors of the chateau of Versailles
n't 3:10 o'<dxxf<t The signing b^au
when Dr. Hermann Mueller and Johannes
Bell, tho German signatories, affixed
their names. Herr Mueller signed at
3:12 o'clock and Herr Bell at 3:13
o'clock. President Wilson, first of the
allies' delegate's, signed a minute later.
At 3:45 o'clock the momentous document
was concluded.
All tho diplomats and members of
their parties wore conventional civilian
clothes. There was a marked lack of
gold lace and pageantry. There were
few wf the fanciful uniforms of the
Middle Ages, whose traditions and prac
tices are so sternly condemned in the
great, seal-covered document signed to
day.
A spot of color was made against
this sombre background by the French
guards. A (few selected members of
the guard were resplendent in their red
plumed silver helmets and red, white and
blue uniforms.
As a contrast with the Franco-Ger
man peace session of 1871, held in the
same hall, there were present today
grizzled French veterans of the Franco
Prussian war. They replaced the Prus
sian guardsmen of the previous cere
mony and the Frenchmen today watched
the ceremony with grim satisfaction.
The conditions of 1871 were exactly
reversed. Today the disciples of Bis
marck sat in the seats of the lowly
while the white marble statue of Minerva,
goddess of War, looked on.
No Jury Ctuten Second Wwk.
Clerk of Court James H. Olyburn re
quests \ts trt* state that there will be
no jury case* for the second week of
the July term of oo??rt. There ar?
many eases on the calendar but none
were ready for trial at this term, no it

"Mr. William King reported for duty
in the Auvergne Iyeave Area on Septem

satisfactory in every particular and his
popularity with the men so great that

For Stealing Cowhides. V
Jam?*s Truesdell, Seip Dinkina and
Vernon Wolrft were arrested and placed
in jail this week changed with having
stolen six cowhides from Camden and
carried them to Oolnunibia where they
were soTd, Tin* goods were suppose<l to
have been stolen from the Southern de
pot, and were the property of W. J.,
Paul, of Charlotte, N. <3. Truesdejl'e
part in the affair seems to .be that he
furnishnd the automobile and wa# paid .
$15 lor his services in -transporting th?
hides and the thief to Columbia. Scip.
Dlnkfins was thought to hnVe been on
the inside of the affair and was ar- j
roerted for his knowledge of same.
Vernon Woldt was identified by three
men from Co4utribia as the' man from
whom the hides were purchased. James ?
Truesdell has gained quite a reputation
for himself recently in court circles, be
ing alTeadfy under bond in several cases
of whiskey selling ami transporting. He
always manages however, to have the
ready cash with which to furnlrti bond.
We have learned since the above was
put in typo that Paul jnade a settle
ment ou? of oourt with the above ne
groes, and that he was naid $250 to
drop the case and not testify against
the negroes at -the trial. This, however,
does not suit tin' magistrate and sheriff
and there may be further developments
in the case. Wolst has never been re
leased from jail and the case will be
heard an soon as the main witness cdn
be gotten here.
