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

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.

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. The j

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

of a compromise should be interpreted

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. Not once was the subject men

I Washington, Jan. 10.?Victor Berber,
Milwaukee Socialist, reelected

ional District after he had been re'fused
membership in the House "because
he gave aid and comfort to the

day by a vote of 228 to 6.
! The House acted in a little, more
j than an hour after Berger presented

: which held Berber ineligible the first
j time, presented a resolution barring

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. This
