His bearing throughout the ceremony cere-mony seemed to reflect consciousness on his part of the distinction made between be-tween this event and the preceding ceremonies It was explained thero was no intended slight in the selection of modes in the mayor's office for the ceremony, but that it was thought necessary nec-essary to give the treaty a namcdif rerent from the others. Hence as no convenient place was available within with-in easv distance of Paris, it was decided de-cided the documont should be called the "treaty of Neuilly." and the mayors may-ors office was selected for the signing. sign-ing.
