German Plenipotentiaries Arrive at Versailles Expect Signing
Versailles June 27. Dr Hermann Mueller and Dr Bell German peace delegates arrived in Versailles with plans to sign the treaty at 3 PM Saturday. They left Berlin under tight secrecy fearing an attack on their lives. Paris reports confirm Clemenceau sent a letter certifying the text matches the June 18 draft. The Chinese delegates reportedly refuse to sign without Shantung reservations, risking broader economic consequences for the region. Berlin plans to resist signing and to allow Allied troops to advance to the Hbe, amid reports of secret efforts to create a separate state in NE Germany.
