Secretary Daniels today sent this message to all naval ships r and stations: "The signing of the treaty of peace at Versailles ushers in the best day In the history ot the world since the angels sang In Bethlehem 'Glory to God In the Highest, on Earth Peace, Good Will Toward Men.' "We are living the fulfill- ment ot that prophecy. As a republic we are grateful to have borne a part In making straight 4- and plain the path of permanent 4 peace with justice to the world.

In the completed peace treaty signed to day at Versailles tho newspapers sny, wero certain stipulations which it was hoped would hasten ratification ot tho treaty by tho Gorman national assembly. Tho Journal says that the allies stipulated that tho liberation of German prisoners would be dopen dent upon ratification oC the treaty by the German assembly. WASHINGTON., Juno 2S. Acting Socretary Polk informed the senate foreign relations committee today that tho final official draft ot the Lcaguo of Nations covenant showed some changes In wording from the version printod in this country. The Information was sont tn re sponse to a request from Chairman Lodge, who said in requesting a re print with corrections, that the dif ferences apparently were due to inac curate transmission. "The changes are all verbal as far as I can see," suld Senator Lodge. si Prussian casli away J BE T LINE WASHINGTON, June 28 Signing at Versailles ot the peace treaty with Germany today formally brought to a close the world's greatest war. Altho technical termination ot the war will come to each nation only when the treaty is approved hy the ratifying power of that uation, to all intents and purposes th? conflict that began in August, 1914, ended when in the historic hall of mirrors, the accredited peace commissioners af fixed 'their signatures to the treaty. Likewise was brought to an end the armistice granted Germany last No vember 11. Austrian Treaty Xov. Portlons ot the treaty with Austria yet remain to be completed and ne gotiations with Turkey and Bulgaria still must be conducted, but as to Germany, chief of the enemy powers, only the work ot carrying out thru the long series of years of the provis ions ot the treaty will remain. With the departure from Paris to night of President Wilson prepara tory to sailing tomorrow from Brest on tho George -Washington the cen ter of interest as regards the treaty shifts to tho senate ratification by which Is necessary for actual termin ation of the war between this coun try and Germany. Due to opposition to the League ot Nations covenant a part of the treaty and to certain provisions of the treaty itself, the contest in the senate is expected to be long and 'bitter. Kiiulnnd Probably First As the signing ot the treaty must be followed by formal ratification be- fore commercial relations with Ger many may be resumed, a spirit of ri vulry among the entente nllios to file notice of ratification with tho French secretariat at Paris may be expected The first nation to resume relations with Germany, therefore, probably will be among those whose forms of government admit of speedy action such as Great Britain, which may ratify the treaty thru a mere order of the privy council. 400 BARRELS OF COD LIVER OIL FOR GERMAN CHILDREN CITRISTIANIA: June 28. -Th Norweaian government has donated 400 barrels of cod liver oil to the American food commission for tho use of German children.

WASHINGTON, June 28. Presi dent Wilson In an address to ' tho American people on the occidion ot the signing of the peace treaty made a plea for the acceptance ot the treaty and the covenant of the League of Nations without change or reservation. ,HJs message given out' here by Secretary Tumulty, said: "My fellow :. countrymen: - The treaty ot peace has been signed. It it is ratified and acted upon in full and sincere execution ot its terms, it will furnish the charter. for a new order of affairs in the world. It is a severe treaty in the duties and pen alties it imposed upon Germany, but It ta severe only "'ibecause great '' wrongs done by Germany are to be righted and repaired; It, imposes nothing that Germany cannot -r do; and sho can regain her rightful , standing in the world by the prompt and honorable fulfillment of - its terms.

It associates the free governments of the world In a permanent league In which they are pledged to usa their united power to maintain peace by maintaining right and justice.
