HI). Indeed, is iTio hum of fate which
has decided t lut t the gieaiost peace
eoiifeienec Iti history shall moot In
the section of VoiMillles once oc
ouiiloil by Mario Antoinette. Surely
tin news must wake a ilim rustle of
ghostly Mitins, h faint ltiuriiutrlim of
long-dead events In those halls wliloh
onee hoard the ton Hied lluitcrlngs of
the ro.vtil huttcrlly caught In the steel
not of the Trench revolution.
For Marie Antoinette, guiltless In
hug-j tin nsitro of tin sins for which she sullerod,
was sncilllced as the s.wiihul of tyiunny on the
altar of that doinocnicy which has now triumphed.
Striking out somewhat lilludly In thu iluocs of the
birth of llhei ty, Trance thrust the joung queen
to her death In an outburst against oppression that
should have been u winning to William of the
Ilohenzollorns.
Those rooms wlrieh saw the defeat of the last
struggle of 'IhlitiM'iKht autocracy In Trance will
see the defeat of the last
struggle of divine-right au
tocracy In the world. The
fall of Trench despotism
was the signal -." years
ago for the fall of German
despotism todny. Across
the turrets, of PotMlnm the
shadow of Versailles has
lain for all who bad vision
to see.
It was Versailles that
stood at one end of the
road lending straight
through Ypres and lons,
Verdun and Chateau
Thierry, to tin. very cen
ter and stronghold of
knlserlsm In Merlin. Un
willing victim though she
was, Innocent and vicari
ous sacrifice for the an
cient crimes of kings, all
Ignorant of the high part her agony was to pay
the upwind struggle of Europe-, Marie Antoinette
did not die in vain. What the Trench revolution
began the world. war has finished.
I There Is a conldor In Versailles nt which the
Htm envoys can look with bitterness only
u conldor and a goigoous chamber. The chamber
Is that In which Bismarck explained to the Trench
plenipotentiaries, Jules 1'nvre and Louis Thiols,
thu crushing and humiliating terms Imposed by
(ernuuiy after the defeat of Trance -17 years ago.
Holes are somewhat reversed In this year of grace.
11)10. Near the chnmbcr Is that sumptuous corri
dor known as the Hall of Mlrrois, whore onto the
Trench moiiarchs strolled and chatted with their
courts. It Is the spot In which William 1 pro
claimed the German emplie, and It Is the spot
whore the peace treaty that bhntters bis empire
will doubtless be signed.
Strange, musty memoiles haunt every corner of
this gorgeous palace outside the Paris walls,
thrown .open now to the clean, sweet winds of free
dom. P Pompadour, Dp Harry and the train of
lesser loe!y harpies thflr Intrigues and their
wicked beauty still lend a dark gleam of romance
to the exquisite Jjipestrlos against which In the
yesterday of blstoiy their brocades stood but In
glistening relief. Here Is the mirror that reflected
tlu cynic, appraising smile of Louis XV. Tin-re Is
theinaiblo balustrade so lately touched by the
Jeweled lingers of the Duchess d'Oiieuns. In that
corner flamed the scarlet robo of the Cardinal do
Itohnn.
But because of her Innocence and her dramatic
fate, It I? Marie Antoinette most of all whose pres
ence penndes the wide, painted rooms. Over those
glassy floors her Irresponsible feet danced. In-tho
Petlt Trianon across the way she played at milk
maid. And the guldens still hold a faint sigh of
her laugh, ilnglng out caretree as a peasant girl's
when tho whole court Joined In blind man's buff..
Such a blind king and court, eyes closed against
the dreadful game Impending. They were children,
the two sovereigns chlldien In years and In out
look during those first holiday seasons when the
court played and Paris sinned and the llr.st re
mote sth rings cairn- which led by long and bloody
roads to the Vi rsallles peace conference of the
year 191 0.
Mario Antolnetto was only fourteen years old
when they vnunged her bctrothnl to the fifteen-year-old
dauphin. She was man led at the age of
sixteen. At the age of twenty she was queen of
France. Just before her foitleth birthday she was
guillotined.
Tor three yearn the king and queen had been
virtually prisoners In tho Tulleilos palace, whither
they were returned uftcr one vain attempt nt
flight. At last the revolutionary fury broke. On
tho tenth of August, In 170-, the steps of the
Tullcrles ran crimson with tho blood of tho faith
ful Swiss guard. Escaping to the national assem
bly, tho king and queen, wlth'thelr two children,
wero lodged In the Temple, a prison fortress.
Blow nftor blow fell thereafter on the defence
less hends of tho royal family. Tho king was
taken away, tried, and sent back for antagonizing
sceno of fa rowel I. Standing rigid as a statuo In
her cell, Marie Antoinette heard tho guns boom
forth tho tidings of his execution.
A little Inter sbu was separated from her chil
dren, subjected lo revolting Indignities dining u
farcical trial, ami ton mouths alter the execution
of her husband was herself condemned to die. The
fortltudo which Mai la Theresa bequeathed to her
daughter bad boon shining with a pure and Meudy
light these many mouths. Marie Antolnetto heaid
her death Bi'iuonco with a smile.
On n co0 and windy morning In October they
summonei'. forth this daughter of ail empress on
whom nil sbame had been heaped. Her brown
hair hid turned silver; her body was bent j her
volcy luul grown low and tremulous. Not for years
had uny man heard the gay lnugh that once dial
Ic.igcd court ctlquotto nt Versailles. A weary wnin-

When Louis XIV choo Versailles as the site for
his new palace and park It had Mttle to commend
It, being a low, swampy urea and distant from
nu adequate water supply. A chateau of Louis
XIII, however, was situated then. The "grand
monarch" lavished vast sums In laying out, com
pleting mid maintaining this magnificent royal
beat. The court camo heio permanently about
(SS- and from that time for more than 100 years
Versailles figured prominently In history. Louis
XV dwelt here and Madame do Pomadour and
Madamo du Barry reigned over this vast pleasure
'establishment. Here, too, Louis XVI and Marie
Antoinette resided. In thu palaco was signed the
treaty of 17S3 between England, Franco and Spain,
ou the same dny on which tho definite treaty of
peaco in which England recognl7cd tho Independ
ence of the United States wus signed ly, Paris.
.The meeting of the stntes-gencrnJ, the opening act
of tho French revolution, took place heie on May
4, 1789. Since then It has never been used as u resi
dence. During the biegu of Paris In 1870-71, King
Wlllinm I of Prussia made his headquarters here,
and here ho was oi owned German emperor Janu
