Secretary Daniels today sent
this message to all naval ships

"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.
Fpon the receipt ot news ot
signing of the treaty of peace,

wero certain stipulations which it
was hoped would hasten ratification
ot tho treaty by tho Gorman national

Tho Journal says that the allies
stipulated that tho liberation of

by the German assembly.
WASHINGTON., Juno 2S. Acting
Socretary Polk informed the senate

The Information was sont tn re

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.

Liberates World From Conauest
and Armed Dominion Binds World
to Protect Weak Against Stronq.
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. '
F.nds Conquest ,
'And it is much more than a
treaty of peace with Germany. It .
litierates great peoples who have
never before been able to find the
way to liberty. It ends, once for all,
an old and intolerable order under
which small groups ot selfish men
could use the peoples of grvit em
pires to serve their ambition for pow
er and domination. 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. It mokes international
law a reality supported by imperative
sanctions. It does away with, the
right of conquest und rejects the pol
icy of annexation and substitutes a
new order under which backward na
tions populations which have , not
yet come to political consciousness
and peoples who are ready tor inde
pendence, but not yet quite prepared
to dispense with protection and gui
dance shall no more be subjected
to the domination and exploitation ot
a stronger nation, but shall be put

of Nations.
