[PRESIDENT HARDING ISSUES

TRIA NEXT STEP.
Washington, Nov. 15.? Peace be'jtween
the United States and Ger'Im'any
was formally proclaimed today
1 by President Harding.
i
Jhe president in a proclamation
signed at 3:52 p. m., today declared
f the state of war between the UniI
ted States and Germany existing
[ from April 6, 1917, to have terminated
July 2, 1921, when the joint
peace resolution of congress was approved
by the executive.
> .
[ Issuance of the proclamation, 1
- which followed an exchange of rati- ^
ncations 01 tne treaty at oeriin ei- .
fected Armistice day in the German
; capital, was considered the first of a ?
series of three steps which, when 1
, completed, will return the United *
. States to a complete peace status. ^
; The secomj st-ep probably will be j
i the promulgation of a proclamation ^
, declaring the war with Austria to
ibe at an e^d, and the issuance of a *
' ) | J'lar p ^jclanuation -v^jth respect
to Hungary. Until the third and jj
final step is taken, the purposes of
the formal proclamation will not be
achieved, in the opinion of officials.
These purposes are stated to be put
to an end without dou/bt to certain ? *
I laws unaffected by the congressional
resolution of repeal approved
last March 3. Notable among these
# ^ | ( I | ? 4 10 '* i| * * " *. * '
wartime laws are sections of the
V.-..* liJv .'A- *? '; :
espionage act, the Liberty bond act,
agd trading with the enemy act. Portions
of the last namecl statute are
preserved, however, through the

treaty.
disposition of tbe cases of EuI
ge^ie V. De^s and others, convicted
, of violation of war laws, likewise

x will aiyait the third and final step.
1 Attorney General Paugherty has
i prepared an opinion for the president
suggesting a njethod of disf
posing of the Pebs case and, it is
understood, proposing definite
ment of the case of others, convicted
of similar offenses. This opinion,
however, has not yet been presented

The proclamation issued today has
no bearing on the resumption of diplomatic
relations between the Uni*?

ted Steves an<} permany, state de- P
partment officials asserting that the I
exchange of ratifications in itself re- *
stored such diplomatic relations.
Just when Germany y/ill resume ?
her old diplomatic status in Wash1 i
ington is not known to officials here,
but it is expected that Baron Ther
mann, former counsellor of the Ger- I
man legation at Budapest, will ar- t
rive in Washington shortly to ar- |
range % a technical installation of [
a German embassy. ?
Press dispatches from Germany |j
have indicated that the Ebert gov- j
ernment was having difficulty in J
finding a suitable appointee to the
Washington ambassadorship in view
of the expense through difference in
exchange rates. It has been suggest
ed that Germany might for a time
he content with a charge d'affaires, I
ihnt ciieh suer^estion has not been of- &
ficially communicated to the Ameri- E
can state department. |
President Harding for some time [
has had under consideration the E
names of several possibilities as ambassador
to Germany and it is understood
that Representative Alanson
H. Houghton of New York is
first in the president's mind in that
connection.
