Th first group, consisting of throe official couriers, arrived early In the day and the second, headed by Ilerr Lersner, came lator; They were escorted to the Hotel lies Reservoirs. Tho Hermans were met at the station by Colonel Henry of tho ministry of wsj: romniissionury and M.

Tho augmentation in numbers of the delegation above those antitipated made it necessary to svek for additional quarters, and a second hostelry, the Hotel vatel, probablv will be requisi lioned for tho telegrnphers, newspaper correspondents and other attaches of the liuton mission.

The (ermuna will not bo expected, and probably do not desire to extend their movements into the general quarters of Versailles, but they will be allowed freedom of movement between their own hotels. Nor is it expected that the Germans will seek to extend their promenades far and wide through the vast park of Koyal Versailles, which stretches from their hotels in one direction fat bevond the great Palace Ix Koi Holeil, and iu the other to the Trianon and the Petit Trianon, but necessary police precau lions will be tnken to prevent annoy ance by curiosity seekers or possible hostile persons in that pair of the park adjoining teh hotel where they take their walks and through which they pass to and from the Hotel Trianon where the preliminary discussions with the associated delegates willy take place.
