Versailles.—Wortd peace was sign
ed and sealed in the historic hall of
mirrors at Versailles, but under cir
cumstances which somewhat dimmed
the expectations bf those who had
worked and fought during long years
of war and months of negotiations for
Us achievement.
The absence of the Chinese dele
gates. who at the last moment were
uaable to reconcile themselves to the
Chaatung settlement, and left the
eastern empire outside the formal pur
views of peace, struck the first dis
cordant note in the aasembly. A writ-

Tbue delegates of the minor powers
made their way with difficulty through
the crowd to their places at the table.
Officers and civilians lined the walls
and filled the aisles. President Wil
son’s arrival 10 minutes before the
hour for signing was greeted by a
faint burst of applause from the few
persons who were able to aee him.
The German correspondenta were
uahered into the hall ahortly before
3 o’clock and were given standing
room in a window at the rear of the

Berlin.—The German government,
headed by Philipp Scheuiemann, had
planned to refues to sign the peace
treaty and to permit the allied troops
to march into Germany as far as the
Elbe, where It would be attacked by
strong German forces, the Danzig cor
respondent of the Tageblatt declares
in a dispatch describing the details
of a secret plan to create a separate
state, in northeastern Germany.
The plan failed because of jealousies
and differences of opinion between
the government and the army lead

Paris —Frederick William Hohen-
zollern, the former German crown
prince, has escaped from Holland and
made his way into Germany.
News of the escape of the ex-crown
prince caused a considerable stir in
peace conference circles. While it is
not felt he is a figure around which
the reactionaries and monarchists
would gather enthusiastically, never
theless his act is regarded as an event
of cnsiderable significance.

After a conference with the French

compromise, to render military hon-

the program was not changed.

Cannon Boom.
At 3t45 the booming of cannon in
celebration of the peace broke the
monotony in the hall of mirrors, where
the crowd had tired of the almost end
less signing.
China’s failure to send her dele
gates to the ceremony created much
comment. The vacant seats of the
Chinese were noted early in the pro
ceedings, but it was expected that the
delegates would arrive later. Then
the report was circulated officially
that the Chinese would not sign with
out reservation on Shantung, and
would issue a statement this evening
on their position. Clemenceau’s
announcement that th<| ceremony was
