Bt Vjiited VERSAILLES, Nov.

20 (By Mftil.) This is r. great town for a peace conference. Although it isn't quite half ns , bis as Toledo, Ohio, in point of population, and ha not nearly the hotel accommodations avilablo in Salt Lake Oity, and has no convention hall in class pf the Auditorium at St. Paul. Minn., 1t hag one qualification which absolutely puts those American cities out of the race for the world's greatest peace confernea. It has background. Fackfround is as essential to a sueeesqful peace conference as is chile con -i-iio to a Mexican carnival. It Is ex pensive, and the righ' hind cannot he j kought in any market any more, the le.te war having used up the entire current output. Tha historical background of Versailles cost France a century of starvation, an ocean of blood, a cycle of scandal, a few billion fi-ancs. and a heartache that throbbed so powerfully that it Jarred dynasties and empires off the earth. 1-ouls XIII. who as a goodly kins, went hunting in the woods where now stands Versailles, one day about 1624. He had flue luck hunting, but at nifht I he had to sleep in a hMel where there were some common folk sleeping, and sitting about talking politics! Sleeping In the same building with wagoners and firmers was shocking to Louis. for Louis was a rtgular king, lie decided to build a little chateau near his hunting grounds, where he could sleep in peace once or twice a year for he had no utomobil" to take him back to Fr.ris t the end of a perfect hunting day. That chateau of Louis XIII. a very nnheautiful but highly expensive house. 5tiii stands, with the magnificent Talace of Versailles built around it. The palace- itself could house 10,000 rersons very easily, but it doesn't, and never did. It is used as a museum, and as a monument t the stupendous extrava gance, effrontery. Rnd futility of monarchy. It is used also for peace conferences now- and then. Usually, when, two or more nations have struggled so long on the battlefield that all the common folk's money has been spent and the fortunes of the counts and dukes have be.en threatened, delegates of the belligerent nations have gathered at Versailles and signed a peaca treaty. Now it is proposed that representatives of practically all nations of any importance and representatives of all classes of human beings, meet here to proclaim t the end of war and autocracy. Louis XIV built most of the salace, much as it appears today. Louis XV made som-e changes and pretty much S"t lost in the big corridors. Louis XVI did some, mora buildisg and tearing down and improving. Napoleon neglected the great palace, and afterward remarked that be was HAVE COLOR IN CHEEKS Be Better Looking Take Olive Tablets If your skin is yellov complexion pallid tongue coated appetite poor you have a bad taste in your mouth a lazy, no-good feeling you ahould take Olive Tablets.

To have a clear, pink skin, bright eyes, no r' "iples, a feeling of buoyancy like childhood days you must get at the cause. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets act on the liver and bowels like calomel yet have no dangerous after effects. They start the bile and overcome constipation.

sorry he hadn't torn it down while he had a chance. Louis Philippe spent a few million

repairing and restoring the ralaoo an 1 j grounds and carrying out sonic project of his own in connection with it. Nobody ever will know how much the treat palace cost l'rancc under the reign of its builder, Louis XIV. Louis became badly scared when ho received the bills, because he had heard a good deal about some disturbers who were whispering that even a kin? hnd no ris- to spend so much lr.oncy for a palace for to house his lady friends when the nation over Which lie ruled was starving. So Lotus did what many a purchaser of expensive hilts has dn-' since tore up the bills and burned them before anybody could look them over. The palace was not built with an eye to peace conlerences. or assemblies of democracies. Louis XIV didn't know about such things. Hut Louis hnd a lady friend, a Miss La Valllere. wi.h whom ha was trying to make a great hit. She was the same lady who wore the litiie decoration suspended - about her neck. from which lavallieres (variously spell-1 ed and designed in these dajs) takj their name. A certain Fouquet, Louis' j minister of finance, also courted Miss La Va!hore. nnil onc mght gave a big party to win her heart. He spent 15.000.000 francs on the party, but then he was minister of finance. He invited the king, and the kingbecame wroth that a mere minister of finance should be able to give such a party and steal his girl at the same time. So Louis had Fouquet thrown in jail as a suspicious character, and decided to build a house that would knock Mis? La Vallicre's eye out, so to speak. Louis was a married man. of course, but then he was king, and in these days a king could do no wrong. Both Louis XIV and his successors j found, that the palace was entirely too big for one lady friend, so they brougnt in several at a time, and yet managed to keep them apart that the royal hai;-'-pullings were- few- indeed. Among the successors of La Valliere were the notorious Mmes. Montespan. Malntenon, Dubarry, and Fornpadour. Descriptions of the various rooms of the palace occupy many volume?, and descriptions of the garde.ns about the palace occupy whole libraries. But the room of chief interest at this time is the Gallery of Mirrors. It was here that King William of Prussia, ancestor of William Hohenzo! lern. was proclaimed emperor of Germany on Jan. IS, IS 7 1 . And it is here that w may expect to see Wiilam Ilohenzollern proclaimed nobody, years later. In fact, many Frenchmen are so poetic as to hone that by Jan. 18. 1919. either the pet.ee conference or some auxiliary court maysentence the last German emperor for his crimes. It was here that a humiliating surrender was dictated to France by Bismarck, and it was here that the supreme war council of the civilized nations dictated its grim armstiee terms that toppled over the throne 3f the Hohenzollerns in Prussia and the German Empire. In this most extravagant room of this palace that is recognized as the supreme expression of irresponsible autocracy it Is likely that the democracy of the world will be written into a permanent covenant and proclaimed to humam.y. This room is 237 feet long by S3 feet wide, and 43 feet from floor to ceiling. On one side 17 large windows look out upon the gardens. On the other side 17 large mirrors, the same size as the windows, reflect the glory of Versailles and the scenes of statecraft that periodically are enacted there. Versailles may not have enough hotel facilities for the conference, but if- certainly has the atmosphere, the background. And Paris is but ten miles a wa y.
