David Lloyd George, Vittorio Orlando, Georges Clemenceau and Woodrow Wilson in Paris, May 27, 1919. Of interest, only Orlando wears the Edwardian suit, a somewhat less formal alternative to formal dress clothes. Everyone else were's morning coats, which were not i the nature of tuxedos today, but conventional formal wear.
The peace conference continued on with the question still being, would Germany sign, or not?
The Wyoming State Tribune was reporting that British and American Marines had been landed, as a result of the uncertainty, in Danzig. I've never read that claim before and I frankly wonder if its correct.
In the same issue, a building story about the perception that troops from the West were not being mustered out as quickly as those from elsewhere was reported on.
And the news that the NC-4 had nearly made it to Portugal was featured.
It was also featured in the Casper paper, which also had the story about Western troops. The big news in Casper, however, was a tragic explosion near town.
It wasn't Memorial Day, like it is now, but the weather was certainly more holiday like. Casper was enjoying a warm spell in 1919. It isn't now.
Seattle, May 27, 1919.
Seattle Washington was photographed.
