 The assemby'c action amounts to a challenge of the fitness to serve of the socialists ..as individuals, Senator LusS said. "The charges against them were based on evidence presented before the joint legislative committee. he ad'ied, although the committee is not the com plainant nor a party to the hearings.
 "The charge ia that they. as indlvidu- als. personally stand for the overthrow of ments by force and violence" Senator Lusk said. Their affiliations with the socialist party, as now organized, and the Rand school, their attitude towards com rnuisrn and their activities are simply evidence having. :. bearing on the ques- ton of whether they individually are pledsed to the violent and revolutionary overthrow of our government

 goes to the House.
 The maximum penalties fixed in the bill are a fine of s5000 and five years imprisonment, applying to all acts or circulation of literature in furtherance of forcible overthrow of the govern ment. The bill also bars from the mails and matter advocating force or sabotage.
 Principal attack on the bill was aimed at the mail exclusion section, which opponents declared would confer press censorship power on the Postmas- ter General. Advocates of the measure, however, denied the bill would limit constitutional rights of free speech, or assemblage. Under an amendment by Senator Borah, republican. Idaho. ac- cepted by the Senate. persons against whom this clause is invoked can ap- peal to federal courts.
 The bill prohibits persons from ad- vocating or advising by speech, writ ing, or printing the forcible overthrow of the United States, or all govern ment. or by physical injury to persons or property. It also would penalize attempts or acts hindering execution of laws, or federal agents in their duties.
 Another section prohibits display of flags. banners, or emblems intended to symbolize advocacy of force against the government
 Aliens violating the act would be subject to deportation and permanent exclusion after serving the imprison- ment provided.
 The bill drawn by Senator Sterling. republican, South Dakota, has been heralded as a measure against reds and their propaganda. It goes to the House for consideration in connection with sedition legislation now being prepared by the House judiciary com mittee, and in a measure is a substi- ute for legislation recommended by Attorney General Palmer
 Senate rSterling told the Senate to- day the bill did not penalize peace ful agitation looking to changes in the government. This was criticized by Senator Mcclellan, democrat. Tennessee as an alleged weakness. The Tennes- see senator declared the bill would not reach dangerous anarchists and other radicals who preach insiduous propaganda against the government suggesting violence, while disclaiming advocacy of force. He offered an amendment designed to extend the bilrs penalties to peaceful efforts to over throw the government, but it was re- jected sunimarily, without d record vote.

 Late Yesterday Ends Five Year Conflict for All AL lied Nations With Excep- ton of the United States
By As.scIatsd Press

Paris, January 10.-Ratifica- tions of the treaty of Versailles were exchanged, and peace be- tween Germany, France, Great Britain and the other allied and associated powers, with the ex- ception of the United States, became effective at 4:16 o'clock this afternoon. There were eleventh hour rumors of a further postponement, but they proved to be groundless.
 The outstanding comment tonight
 on the ceremony is that 1t leaves
 the United States the only power
 which was actively at war with
 Germany not now on n peace basis.
 That was the note sounded by
 Baron Kurt von Lersner, head of
 the German peace delegation. in
 statement to the Associated Press
 immediately after the ceremony.

 Execution of the treaty of Versailles imposes upon Germany the heaviest sacrifices ever borne by a nation in modern times
 territories that belonged to Prussia for enormous economic obligations. Never theless. I am glad peace is at last re- established. because 1t will give back to Germany her beloved sons still pris- oners abroad"
 Asked as to the execution of the terms of the treaty, von Lersner de- clared Germany was ready and de- termincd to do her utmost He con tinued

It will mean hard times for Germany, but with the recovery of our ardor for labor and poduction we hope to meet evey emer- gency
 "The recovery of our economic prosperity is as much to the interest of the entente as it is to us. on ac- count 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 Germany"
 Baron von Lersner said he had had several very satisfactory conferences with Louis Loucheur. French minister of reconstruction. regarding the re- sumption of tade relations between Germany and France, and added that he hoped the European nations, work ing together, would solve the great economic problems. The most thorny remaining problem appeared to Won Lersner to be the question of the ex- tradition of a considerable number of German officer. officials and soldiers tc be tried for crimes alleged to have been committed during the war.
