HOTEL TRIANON
VERSAILLES, Wednesday. April
30. (By Associated Press.) The
spacious dining room of the Hotel
Trianon today received Its peace con
gress installation three long tables
In horse-shoe form, covered with the
traditional green cloth of diplomacy.
Tbo Installation Is Imposing In the
Izo of each of the side tables, which
extend some 40 or 50 feet thru the
room. At the head of the apartment
is a table about 35 feet long at which
the representatives of the great pow
ers will be seated with . President
Polncare or Premier Clemeuceau In
tho center. .
. Inside In the horseshoe is a table
covered with red plush and in the
space between one side ot the horse
shoe and "the windows is a similar
table... In the window openings are
smaller tables for secretaries. , ,
.This Is a scene (or the handing
over of the terms of peace. The date
ot the ceremony has not been an
nounced but it Is assumed it Will be
Saturday. -s . '
The credentials of the German
plenipotentiaries . must be ' verified
first, and there Is some uncertainty
as to when the draft ot the treaty can
bo completed. Should a delay occur
a preliminary meeting with the Gerv
man delegates will occur probably
Friday. ; At this meeting their cre
dentials will be submitted for exam
ination to a commission headed by
Jules Cambon of France.
The German delegates were out for
a stroll today despite the inclement
weather. There was a busy coming
and going of subordinates between
the hotels occupied by -the mission.
The Germans excite little curiosity in
Versailles.
