FIGHTING STOPPED SOON AS POSSIBLE
 -PERSHING
A. E. F. Commander Explains
 Armistice Day Battles.-G.H. O., A. E. F., Knew Nothing of Signing of Truce Until 6 a. m.

Washington, Jan. 1O.-Gen. Per- shing had no knowledge that an ar mistic had been signed until a. m. Nov. II, 1918, and all forward move ments of American troops were stopped as soon thereafter as orders could be transmitted to the unit com manders, the comander-in-chief of the American Expeditionary Forces declares in letter to Representative Fuller, Republican, Massachusetts, made public today.
 The letter, dated last Nov. 21, de- clares that the forward movement or dered for the day on which the armis- tice was scheduled to be signed was the result of the following telegram of Nov from Marshal Foch to all the allied commanders:
 "The enemy, disorganized by our repeated attacks, is withdrawing along the entire front. It is important to maintain and hasten our action. appeal to the energy and initiative of the commanders-in-clief of their ar mics to secure decisive result"
 Representative Fuller explained that he made Gen. Pershing's letter public in answer to recent charges by Brig Gen. John H. Sherburne, Boston Ma tional Guard officer, that there was an unnecessary loss of American life on armistice day because orders tc attack were not promptly withdrawn when it became known the armistice had been signed.
 No order was given to cease firing before the actual hour the armistice went into effect, the letter says, be.

Paris. Jan. 10.-The treaty of Yer sailles, making peace between Ger many and the ratifying allie1 powers was put into effect at 4. 5 ssecls this afternoon by the exchange of ratifca- tions.
 The entire ceremony, which tocK place in the Clock Hall at the French foreign ministry, was completed by 4:16 o'clock.

The signing of this document occurred in the office of the minister of foreign affairs.
 Baron von Lersner and Herr von Simson, the other German representa- tive, were among the last to arrive at the foreign ministry for the day'G ceremonies. They passed into the for eign office shortly after Premier Clemenceau, who, as usual, was given an ovation.
 The delegates assembled in the pri- vate office of the minister of foreign affairs, where at secret session the protocol was signed at 4;09 o'clock.
 Led by Premier Clemenceau, the delegates then filed into the famous Clock room, where were held the plenary sessions of the peace confer ence that fixed the terfns of the treaty. Baron won Lersner and Herr von Simson were the last to enter the room and the first to sign the minutes recording the exchange of ratifica- tions.
 The proceedings began without any ceremony, Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain, following the German delegates at the signature table. He was succeeded by Premier Clemen- ceau of France, who, on returning to his seat after signing, stopped in front of Baron von Lersner and Herr von Simson. The German representa- tives arose and bowed to M. Clemen- ceau, who said few words which were inaudible to the spectators. The premier then passed onto his place without shaking hands.
 This incident was watched with the most intense interest in dead silence It was noticed Baron von Lersnei

GAS KILLS SCORES
 IN VERA CRUZ
Volcanic Gas and Bandits Make Horrible S0tuatiOn in Mexico Following the Eruption of the San Miguel Volcano.

Mexico City, Jan, 11.-Scores of persons literally were gassed to death in the volcano stricken districts of Vera Cruz, according to dispatches here.
 When the new volcano of San Mig uel. began it's eruption, dispatches said, many groups of survivors who escap- ed the streams of mud and lava were caught in great clouds of poisonous gases and killed.
 Others took refuge in trees along the Reconida River, but were over come by gases and fell into the stream. Their bodies were washed away in the current.
 Ashes from the volcano were report ed to have fallen as far away as Cos comatepec, many miles from the crater near Cordoba.
 Many rebel bandits have infested this district, and are reported ap- preaching the cities and surrendering, declaring they would rather be shot than continue hiding in the volcano dis trict.
 Wiping out of many villages in the district around Jalapa has been con- firmed. Only one family survived in Barranca Grande, it was said. Off, cial figures showed seventy-two were killed at Coazultan and thirty-five at Teocelo. Twenty-six bodies were re- covered from the river near Icaxtla.
 A relief train also was wrecked in this district, the earthquake having so twisted the rails the train jumped the track.
 Bandits attempted to ambush Gen eral Candido Aguilar, Foreign Minis ter and Governor of Vera Cruz, while he was leading a relief party into the stricken district, but were repulsed by Federal troops.

Photographic Treatment
Restores Erased Script
Manuscripts. of Middle Ages,
Long Lost TO World, May
Now Be Deciphered

ROME, Oct. 23.-ln the middle ages,
when parchment cost even more than
paper costs nowadays, it was the GUS
tom to scrape old documents in order
to use the parchment again for writing.
Thus manuscripts Of inestimable value
were thus lost to the world. Students
and archaeologists have devoted much
time and labor trying to dcciphcr these
palimpsests, as they are called, and the
work has usually been done by rcmov-
ing the later writing with some chem-
cal and then trying to decipher the
half-crased script underneath.
Professor Giuseppe Perugi, Of vi
terbo, distinguished by his studies in
photography, has announced the dis
covery Of a Photographic treatment
whereby the original script returns to
view entirely distinct from what has
been written above it.
One of Professor Perugi's latest
achievements has been to reproduce
from under an uninteresting religious
composition Of the 18th century. the
entire 9Th Canto of Danee's Paradise.

Belfast Parliament

pic for Rest of ireland
and to Have Steadying
Effect on Sinn Feiners

DUBLIN, Oct. 20.--The Irish Parlia-
mcut at Belfast for the six northeast
counties is expected to be set up i'm
mediately, once the Home Rule bill is
passed by the imperial government. 1t
was pointed out that this would serve
as an example for all the rest of Ire
showing the Sim Feiners that Dublin
and the other twenty-siX counties
could have precisely the same machin-
cry of government as Belfast will
have for it's six counties.
There Is some agitation for amend
ments to the financial terms Of the
Home Rule bill. Ulstermcn are oppos-
cd to handing over to any Irish body
the control of customs and excise.
They do not want this privilege for
themselves and are determined that it
shall not be made available for the
rest of Ireland, fearing that it might
he used to the detriment Of industry
in the northern section Of the coun-
try.
Belfast men want more than the
100000 to be granted for setting up
its proposed new parliament. They also
say that the sum of 100000 which
ireland is to contribute annually To
the support of the empire is too high.
This would be reduced by about $l5.-
100000 q year by the annuR'eies now
payable to the imperial Treasury by
Irish farmers who have purchased
their holdings with government ad-
vances. This sum is in the future to
be divided between the two Irish parli-
aments.
One suggestion has been made that
Ircland's contribution to the Imperial
funds shall be limited to the Irish in
come tax and super-taX, which at
present amounts to $50,000,000 or $685.
100000 year.
Outside of Ulster, however, none Of
these points is being discussed at all.
Complete separation and an independ-
ent republic is the Sim Fein policy,
while even the moderates demand a
government for all Ireland on Domin-
ion lines as completely free in finance
as Canada. The governments bill does
nothing to meet this view and its ere
alton of two separate Parlaments in
Ireland with equal powers is reseStcd
