U. S. STANDS ALONE IN STATE WAR WITH GERMANY j Peace Now Exists Between Germany, i France, Great Britian and Other Allied and Associated Powers With Exception of America. Paris, Jan. 10.? (By the Associated PPPress.)?Ratifications of the treaty of Versailles were exchanged, and Great Britain and the other allied and i peace between Germany, France,! nmvpv* with the exception i aocvvxuivu |/v ?? .... A of the United States, became effec-; tive at 4.16 o'clock this afternoon. ! p There were eleventh hour rumors of T a further postponement, but tnese proved to be groundless. The outstanding comment tonight j on the ceremony is that it leaves the + + United States the only power which was actively at war with Germany not now on a peace basis. That was Ak the note sounded by Baron Kurt Von Lersner, head of the German peace o cfafowPTit' tr? the uricgatiuii, in u WH.UW4..V... ? Associated Press, immediately after the ceremony. Regrets America'^ Action. "l am naturally happy that peace has finally become effective," Von Lersner said. "My great regret is that the United States is the only country with which Germany is still in a state of war. I hope, however, ^ that this situation will soon be char.ged. "Execution of the treaty of Versailles imposes upon Germany the heaviest sacrifice ever borne by a nation in modern times. We lost in the west and in the east territories that belonged to Prussia for many "* centuries. We have assumed enoi*mous economic obligations. Nevertheless, I am glad that peace is at last reestablished, because it will give back to Germany her beloved sons still prisoners abroad." "We have already, even without being obliged by the terms of the treaty delivered a considerable quantity of products, including two and one * - * - - -L 1 nail million cons Oi w X-inavt, rand I can say that Germany will go to the utmost limit of possibility in fulfilling all the obligations she has incurred. It will mean bard times * . for Germany, but with the recovery of our ardor for labor and production we hope to meet every emergency. t ? 1 . . t if* mucn interest 10 Allies. V "The recovery of our economic prosperity is as much to the interest of the Entente as it is to us, on account of the great economic difficulties that threaten all Europe. It is obvious, speaking chiefly of France, | that her economic prosperity depends upon the economic recovery of Ger^ many." K Baron Von Lersne? said he had had several very satisfactory confer-1 ences with Louis Loucheur, Frerit-h minister of reconstruction, regarding the resumption of trade relations between Germany and France, and add-) ed that he hoped the European nations, working together, would solve ft the great economic problems.

Armistice Still Exists. Y Washington, Jan. 10.?Formal no-' 1 * * j I xice nas oeen served on uermany oy ; the United States in connection with 1 the deposit at Paris today of ratifi- J cations putting into effect the treaty of Versailles, hat conditions of the ' armistice still govern relations be-1 tween the United States and Ger-' many. Announcement of this action was made tonight by the State department in a statement shying that offi| cial notification of th^exchange had * been received. Outlining the situation due to the fact that the United States had not ratified the treaty, it j said: 4iIt is the position of this govern-! ment that the armistice continues in ' full force and effect between the j United States and Germany and accordingly the provisions of the armistice agreement of November 11, 1918, as well as the provisions of the extension on these agreement, rep main binding on these two nations." Notice of this was given to. the German government by the United States. The announcement showed that the deposit of ratifications and signing of the proces verbal took place * in Paris at 4.16 p. m., and adds: "The moment at which the first proces verbal was completed marked the moment at which a status of peace was restored between Germany on the one hand and those of the allied and associated powers which ^ have completed the necessary formalities of ratification of the treaty of Versailles on the other."

Chicago, Jan. 10.?William Jen: nings Bryan told reporters today that i he and President Wilson "agree in I purpose." '*We both want immediate ratification of the peace treaty and a speedy establishment of the league of nation," he said. "It is simply a difference of opinion over a method anrl n numose. "There is no reason why advocacy of a compromise should be interpreted as opposition to the President. Mr. Wilson is an official and his recommendations travel bv their l * I own weicht. 86 Senators Favor Treaty. "The constitution gives the PresiI dent the right to make recommenda| tions to congress. It gives congress | the right to disregard these recom| mendations just as it empowers con! gress to pass laws and the president I to veto them. ^ civ avc J iur. ?jLynn &<uu ciA cbnuwviu : favor ratification of the treaty but ! differ as to reservations. He advoj cated a compromise so as to keep the | treaty from becoming: a campaign | issue, adding: I "If the Republicans insist upon rei servations that the Democrats can not i _ ,n , j accept, then the Democrats will do m ! a good position to take it as an issue ! before the people/' Advocates Open Discussion. Chicago, Jan. 10.?Open discusI sion in the United States Senate, "where concessions may be asked and given," was advocated by William Jennings Bryan today as a . means of making a compromise on j the peace treaty. Mr. Bryan was | addressing the Iroquois Club. "If no compromise can be reached," he said, "we must acquisce for the present with the Republican majority.' He proposed that in that case enough Democratic votes be withdrawn to permit the Republicans a constitutional two-third vote by which the treaty and the league of nations covenant would be ratified with reservations and allow "the peo ' pie to pass judgment" at the polls. Denies Split. Mr. Bryan very emphatically stated that there had been no ''split" in the Democratic party and that such a conclusion should not be drawn from the addresses of himself and President Wilson at the Jackson Day [ banquet. t ''The President's letter i-<*ad at | Washington," continued Mr. , "contains words open to construction j that indicate to me that compromise | is possible. "The president did well | at Paris. He did more there than ! we could expect any man to do. Majority Rule Plan. Mr. Bryan said his plan of com1 promise or the alternative of allow| iner the Republican majority to re! cord its will was "iust the simple old j American plan of majority rule." With ratification accomplished, he 1 said, "then we will have peace and ! the leajrue of rations and we can go to work." "When I get through," Mr. Bryan sa:d, "the Republicans and those who are anxious to believe that there is a Democratic split will find nothing: in my actions or speech hostile to my party's welfare. "Let them go as far as they like or will just now. It will not be long before they awaken. But meanwhile let us get the benefit of full publicity." Republicans Make Move. Washington, Jan. 10.?Efforts to break the Senate peace treaty deadlock and keep the treaty out of the political campaign were advanced a step today when Republican senators advocating1 ratifications, drew up a counter proposal to the set of compromise reservations submitted to them early in the week by a group of Democrats. The Republican proposal, to which its sponsors with Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the party leader, had given tentative assent, was under stood to deal only with some of the collateral issues in the reservation controversy leaving to future negotiation the troublesome questions of article ten and equality of voting power in the league of nations. Democrats Gain Ground. Some of the Democratic suggestions were said to have been accepted, including a change in the Republican reservation program of last session so that the Senate qualifications would not have to be accepted affirmatively by the other powers. Agree ment 10 mese iiuncvci, wao understood to be conditional on certain concessions by Democrats in regard to other reservations. Submission of the counter proposals to the Democrats came after the Senate adjourned at the end of a day which had kept the chamber and cloak rooms alive with treaty talk.

I Washington, Jan. 10.?Victor Berber, Milwaukee Socialist, reelected jfrom the Fifth Wisconsin Congress| ional District after he had been re'fused membership in the House "because he gave aid and comfort to the | enemy," was denied his seat again toI day by a vote of 228 to 6. ! The House acted in a little, more j than an hour after Berger presented | himself to be sworn in. Chairman ! Dallinger, of the elections committee, : which held Berber ineligible the first j time, presented a resolution barring | Berger ar.d reviewed the reasons why | Berger was excluded at the special ! session. Representatives Mann, Rej publican, of Illinois; Voight, Repubj lican, of Wisconsin, and Sherwood, | Democrat, of Ohio, supported Beri ger's right to a seat. Favcred by Mann. "This is a representative form of government," Mr. Mann said, "and this we must maintain inviolate if the people desire it. Berger was elected by the people of Wisconsin. They have a right to be represented." Request for a hearing on Henry H. Bodenstab's right to the seat denied Berger has been made before Chairman Dallinger. Bodenstab, a Republican, was defeated by Berger I by a majority of 4,806 votes in the special election. The committee previously held Joseph P. Carney, Berger's opponent in the first election, to be ineligible. Chairman Dallinger said today that at the time of the first election Berger was only under inj dictment under the Espionage Act, j but that he had been convicted before the second election took place.
