Wilson' s Private Seal to Sign

Treaties With Central Powers

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, June 27. Probably for the first time in the signature of an international treaty, short hand characters will appear when the Beals are attached to the treaty of Paris, which will mark the official termination of the world war next Saturday. President Wilson will confirm his signature by an impress upon wax of his own name written in short hand upon a seal ring which he always wears. The President when a student in col lege acquired short hand as an aid in taking notes of the lectures of the faculty, and years ago had, engraved up a stone setting or ms ring tne words " Woodrow Wilson,", as they would appear in shorthand, and it is the seal he will use upon the peace treaties for: he must sign and seal no less than a score of treaties with the nations that participated in the war. There Is a Presidential seal, but this is used at the White house solely for stamping envelops and letter heads. It is almost a reproduction in diminished size of the great seal of the United States, save that the stars are arranged in the arc above the eagle instead of in a circle and that it bears the legend "President of the United States of America" on the encircling belt. U. S. Seal on Ratification. The great seal of the United States will appear twice in connection with the treaty or treaties, but this will only be in the final stages of its con summation; first upon the article sig nifying the ratification of the treaty and second upon the proclamation which the Prf esident will issue informing the world of the completing of the convention. But authorities on treaty making agree that the seals to be attached upon the irst signa ture of the treaty must be those of the individual signers. This is a sur vival of the medieval customs of at taching the "sign of the arms of the signatory, generally some belted knight or noble of high degree. All of the American secretaries of state have had their private seals. MANY DIE IN STREET FIGHTS IN HAMBURG (By Associated Press) PARIS, Thursday, June 26.

the armistice last November and was interned by the Dutch government on the island of Wieringen in the Zuyder Zee. Until the moment of his escape he lived there quietly and was regarded in Hollana as harmless. On Dec. 3, 1918, in denying reports that he had renounced his rights to the succession, the ex-crown prince declared: "I have not renounced anything. But should the German government decide Secretary Bryan taking great pride in the possession of an ancient stone of Ptolemy's time representing a conventional bird with a branch, which Mr. Bryan regarded as .the original bird of peace." It was this sign that appears upon each of the twenty-one arbitration treaties which Mr. Bryan esteemed as his greatest accomplishment. As never before has the president of the United States been known to sign a treaty, hence there Is no record of a private presidential seal in con nection with such documents. Marking another precedent, it was necessary for Mr. Wilson to duly accredit himself as a plenipotentiary author ized to negotiate and sign the Paris treaty. This, he did by causing Sidney Smith, chief of the diplomatic bureau of the state department, who accompanied him to Paris, to prepare "full powers" in his own name which he duly signed.
