State of officers and men of the
National Guard and of the Keystone
Division, which was formed of the
organized militia of the State so long
directed by the general. The funds
were raised by subscription after the
war began.
Many men associated with the
genera] in military matters and in

ional commander, will attend. Busi

It first got into the fighting in
Europe. He was the pre-eminent
character in the affairs of the Na
tional Guard of the country and it
was through him that Congress and
the War Department gave recog
nition to the National Guard as part
of the first line of defense of the
country. That his judgment was
good is evidenced by the splendid
record of the National Guardsmen
in the war with Germany and es
pecially by the National Guard of
Pennsylvania.
"General Stewart died .suddenly
on his birthday. September 11, 1917,
when he was 69 years of age and on
the very day when the last organiza
tion of the National Guard left the
State to go to war. The sentiment
in favor of erecting a memorial
statute to his memory was crystal
lized at Camp Hancock, and the var
ious organizations of the Guard con
tributed towards the fund used for
the bronze figure. Not only did the
officers who knew him best con
tribute, but all other officers and
many privates gave their mites.
"The selection of a sculptor and
the erection of the statute were
placd in my hands and I chose a
prominent Philadelphia sculptor.
Otto Sweizer, who has made numer
ous similar memorials and whose
works stand on many battlefields.
He has an international reputation
as a sculptor."
The bronze was cast by Bureau
Brothers, of Philadelphia, who have
made the memorials for many pub
lic parks and whose work is repre
sented many times on the battlefield
of Gettysburg. The figure and base
weigh 2,300 pounds.
The figure was modeled by Sculp
tor Sweizer, only after he had been
furnished scores of photographs of
the late Adjutant General and
photographers had made many com
posite photographs of these pictures.

Philipp Scheidemann had planned to
refuse to sign the peace treaty and
to permit the allied troops to march
int£ Germany as far as the Elbe,
where it would be attacked by strong
German forces, the Danzig corres
pondent of the Tageblatt declares in
a dispatch describing the details of a
secret plan to create a separate state
in northern Germany.
The plan failed because of jeal
ousies and differences of opinion be
tween the government and the army
leaders, the correspondent Shys. (A
report from Geneva Thursday night
said that Herr Scheidemann had ar
rived in Switzerland after crossing
the frontier on foot).
The last proposal made by con
spirators planning to oppose the
Allies, it is said, was to ask Poland
to combine with Eastern Germany in
the formation of an independent re
public. The offer, it is declared was
rebuffed by the Poles who asked
why ft had not been offered ten years
ago.

I GERM A NENVOYS
FIRST TO SIGN
j [Continued from First Pago.]
•ing through the streets in celebra
tion of the signing of the treaty.
Throe Tables Hold Packs
Last minute changes were made
in the program to expedite the sign
ing of the Treaty. Two additional
tables were placed beside the one
within the historic Hall of Mirrors
J on which the Peace Treaty was laid. [
• One of the new tables held the
Rhine convention and the other the
protocol containing changes in and
interpretations of the Treaty.
All these documents had to be
signed by each plenipotentiary, and
the arrangements of the tables thus
enabled three persons to be en
gaged s'multaneously In affixing
their signatures. Because of the s'ze 1
Of the Treaty and the fragile seals
I it bore, the plan to present it for (
s'gning to Premier Olemcnceau, i
President Wilson and Premier Lloyd |
George could not he carried out,
the new plan bo'ng for tho three
conference leaders to step to
table-' to affix their signatures.
A few minutes before 3 o'clock
fifteen enlisted men from the Amer
ican, British and French armies en
tered the Hall of Mirrors amid !
decorous cheers. The Chinese itfele- ]
gates, shortly before the hour set
for the signing of the Treaty, re
iterated their intention not to s'gn.
President Wilson entered the Hall
of Mirrors at 2.50 o'clock. All the
delegates then were seated except
the Chinese who did not attend.
The Germans entered the hall at ex
actly 3 o'clock. Premier Olemcn
ceau called the session to order at
3.10 o'clock.
Endless Stream of Autos
. Hours before the time set for the
ceremony an endless stream of auto
mobiles began moving up the can
non-lined hill of the Champs Ely
sees, past are Arc de Triumphe and
out through the shady Bois de Bo
logne, carrying the plenipotentiar
ies, officials and guests to the cere
mony. The thoroughfare was kept
clear by pickets, dragoons
I gendarmes.
| In the meantime thousands of
Parisians were packing the regular
j and special trains upon the lines
I leading to Versailles and contending
I with the residents of the town itself
for places on the park where the
play of the famed fountains of Ver
sailles would mark the end of the
ceremony.
The automobiles bearing dele-
I gates and secretaries had reserved
i for their use the Avenue du Paris,
(the broad boulevard leading direct
;to the Chateau's Court of Honor,
I French soldiers being ranged along
the highway on both sides. At the
| end of the court a guard of honor
I was drawn up to present arms as
| the leading plenipotentiaries passed,
[this guard comprising a company of
; republican guards in brilliant uni
; form.
Kilter by Marble Stairway
| The entrance for the delegates
i was by the markle stairway to the
["Queen's apartments" and the Hall
.of Peace, giving access thence to
| the Hall of Mirrors. The walls of
i these apartments were hung with
i unique Gobelin tapestries.
The route to the Peace Congress
I for the plenipotentiaries was through
[a space reserved for some 400 privi
| leged guests who were instructed to
j be in their seats w ell in advance of
the entry of the delegates. It had
been arranged that the delegates, in
stead of straggling in without order,
as when the original terms of peace
jwere communicated to the Ger
mans, should enter by groups,
; each one being formally announced
| by ushers from the French foreign
i office.
No Honors P'or Gprnians
This formality was not prescribed
for the Germans, who were given a
separate route of entry, coming
through the park and gaining the
marble stairway through the ground
| floor. Thus was avoided occasion
for the guard of honor to render
I them military honors, these being
I reserved for the Allied representa
j tives. The dismounted guardsmen
on the marble staircase and in the
(Queen's apartments, however, were
j instructed to remain in their places
| for the entry of the Germans.
Within the Hall of Mirrors, where
j the historical furnishings and paint
i ings gave a tone of impressive state
I which would otherwise be rather
! lacking in the assemblage of soberly
I attired delegates, seventy-two chairs
j for the plenipotentiaries were drawn
| up around three sides of the table.
I which formed an open rectangle
fully eighty feet in length on its
! longer side. \
A chair for M. Clemenceau, pres
ident of the Peaoe Conference, was
placed in the center of the long table
facing the windows, with those for
President Wilson and Premier Lloyd
George on the right and left hand,
respectively. The German delegates
were assigned seats at the side of the
table nearest the entrance, which
they could take after all the others
had .been seated.
This arrangement was made to
permit the Germans to leave after
the signature of the treaty before
the Allied delegations, not waiting
for the semistate procession of Al
lied delegates to the terrace from
which to witness the playing of the
Versailles fountains before return
ing to Paris
Th'e World War came to a formal
end five years after the assassina
tion of Archduke Francis Ferdinand,
and two years and two days after the
first American troops landed in
France. The Austrian heir-apparent
was killed at Sarajevo on June 28,
1914. The first American contingent
disembarked in France on June ''S
1917. " '
On July 28, 1914, one month after
the death of Francis Ferdinand,
Austria declared war on Serbia,
marking the beginning of hostilities!
On August 1, Germany declared war
on Russia and invaded Luxemburg
Germany sent her ultimatum on Au
gust 2 j and declared war on France
on August 3. The next day Great
Britain declared war on Germany-
June 28 also is the anniversary
of the renewal of the Triple Alli'-
ance between Germany, Austria and
Italy which has been broken by the
war.
On June 28, 1890, the German
Reichstag passed a bill creating a
new German army, the organization
which is dwarfed in power by the
treaty signed to-day.
In American history June 28 is
the anniversary of the buttle of Mon
mouth, N. J., wheie~in 1778 Wash
ington defeated a force under Sir
I Henry Clinton.

WILSON PLEADS FOR
NEW WORLD CODE

jor reservation. His message, given
I out here by Secretary Tumulty,
I said:
Severe on Germany
i "My fellow-countrymen: fl'he
| treaty of peace has been signed. It
I it is ratified and acted upon in full
• and sincere execution of its terms,
Itt will furnish the charter for a
| new order of affairs in the world.
!It is a severe treaty in the duties
land penalties it imposes upon Ger-
J many, but it is severe only because
! great wrongs done by Germany are
i to be righted and repaired: it im
j poses nothing that Germany cannot
j do; and she can regain her rightful
I standing in the world by the prompt
| and honorable fuliillmen of its
I terms.
Lilx-ratc Great Peoples
i "And it is much more than a
i treaty of peace with Germany. It
| liberates great peoples who have
I never before been able to find the
) way to liberty, it ends, once for all,
an old and intolerable order under
I which small groups of selfish men
| could use the peoples of great em-
I pires to servo their ambition for
I power and dominion. It associates
| the free governments of the world
in a permanent league in which they
are pledged to use their united
power to maintain peace by main
taining right and justice. It makes
international laws reality, supported
by imperative sanctions. It does
i away with the right of conquest and
| rejects the policy of annexation and
I substitutes a new order under which
backward nations populations
! which have not yet come to politi
| cal consciousness and peoples who
are ready for independence but not
yet quite prepared to dispense with
protection and guidance shall no
more be subjected to the domina
tion and exploitation of a stronger
nation, but shall be put under the
friendly direction and afforded the
helpful assistance of governments
i which undertake to be responsible
to the opinion of mankind in the
execution of their task by accepting
the direction of the League of Na
tions.
Furnishes Guarantees
"It recognizes the inalienable
rights of nationality, the rights of
j minorities and the sanctity of re-
I ligious belief and practice. It lays
I the basis for conventions which shall
• free the commercial intercourse of
the world from unjitst and vexa
tious restrictions and Tor every sort
of international co-operation that
will serve to cleanse the life of the
world and facilitate its common ac
tion in beneficent service of every
kind. It furnishes guarantees such
as were never given or even contem
plated for the fair treatment of all
who labor at the daily tasks of the
world.
New Orrlcr of Affairs
"It is for this reason that I have
spoken of it as a great charter for
a now order of affairs. There is
ground hero for deep satisfaction,
universal reassurance and confident
hope.
official Washington took the sign
ing of the Peace Treaty quietly, in
marked contrast to the riotous dem
onstrations which greeted the an
nouncement of the signing of the
armistice.
Congress was wholly without dem
onstration. In the Senate President
Wilson's address to the American
people was read by Senator Hitch -
j cock, senior Democrat, of the Foreign
Relations Committee, but it passed
without comment. Th., House was
not in session at the moment, not as
sembling until noon. The Marine
Band, serenading Congress on the
l Capitol plaza was the only sign of
celebration. Throughout the city
there were no- demonstrations what
ever by the many in the street.
Although there was considerable
comment on the President's address
in private talks among Senators, few
made an expression for publication.
Senator Knox. Republican, Pennsyl
vania, and u former Secretary of
State, who opposed the league cove
nant/ declined to talk.
The House received the President's
address with more of a show of cele
j bration than did the Senate. Pre
sented by Democratic Floor LeaiTer
Clark the address was read from tile
Speaker's dosk, while the House stood
and punctuated it with applause and
cheers. Loud yells from the Demo
cratic side greeted the announcement
of the signature "Woodrow Wilson."
