SACRIFICE OF

ISDENIED
Pershing Says He Had No
Information of the
Armxtice.

Charges that lives of American SOL
diers were needlessly sacrificed by
sending them into battle on Armistice
Day when it was known an armistice
was IN sight were vigorously denied
yesterday by Gen. John y Pershing In
letter to Representative Alvan T.
Fuller, Massachusetts,, of the House
Military Affairs Committee.
Such charges were brought by Gen.
John H. Sherburne, National Guard
officer of Boston. who gave testimony
before a House investigating commit
tee. Gen. ~Sherburne commanded the
artillery of the Twenty sixth division.
Il had no knowledge before s am.
on November IL that the armistice
had been signed and that firing was
to cease at IL am. November H."
reads Pershing's letter.
"On November IL parts Of the
French. British and Belgian lines, as
well as parts of the American line,
attacked and advanced The implica-
tion that the Americans were the only
troops which advanced or attacked
on November IL is wholly erroneous.
Neither British nor French head
quarters ordered firing to stop prior
to the armistice. and firing by all the
allies and by the enemy continued on
the whole front from Switzerland to
the sea at that hour. In places the
fire died away priorto II am, and
in few places firing continued until

Sergeant-at-Arms Ha n d $
Summons to "Ambassa-

ACCEPTS GRACIOUSLY
Radical and Secretarial
Mouthpiece Yields Like
Chesterfield.

A little party at friends house
where the honor guests were Ludwig
c. A. x. Martens. self-styled Ambas-
sador to the United States from Soviet
Russie. and his secretary, Santeri
Nuortevs, was interrupted yesterday
afternoon by an attache from the Of
fee Of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the
Senate. He served subpoenas on both
Martens and Nuorteva to appear at Il
o'clock Monday morning before the
special committee of the Upper House
investigating Bolshevik activities in
America.
Service was accepted with the elabo-
rate politeness that has marked the
attitude of Nuorteva. mouthpiece for
the invisible Martens. since the ad-
vent Of the pair in Washington. and
the setting up Of headquarters in a
local hotel.
Just where Martens was con
vivially fortgathering is not beins
given out, but the ease of the service
proves. as published in The Wash,
ington Herald on Thursday, that the
whereabouts of the Ambassador
was no puzzle to the authorities.
Came for Hearing.
Martens, through Nuorteva. has re-
peatedly declared that the reason fol
his coming to Washington was tc
appear before the Senate subcommit-
tee, and he promises to make i'm.
portant revelations. The Department
OF Justice. which has adopted a
"hands-off" policy toward Martens
until he has gone before the sub.
committee. holds a warrant for his
arrest and deportation, and the prin.

be his arrest Immediately after ht

Deportation of alien members of the
Union of Russian Workers, who left
wives behind. when they sailed on tho

an "unateountable oversight" in the
immigration Bureau by Secretary ol

BORAH SCORES
SEDITIotBILL
Burleson Accused of Indis-
cretion in Suppressing
Publications.

The Sterling anti-sedition bill came
in for another onslaught in the Sem
ate yesterday, Senators Borah, of
Idaho, and France. of Maryland, at
tacking il as an unwarranted in
terfercnce with the freedom OF press
and of speech.
Senator Borah discussed his amend
ment, which provides for a hearing
in all cases in which the Postmas-
ter General undertakes to bar pub
locations from the mail. Senator
France said the war powers of the
Postmaster General should not be
exercised in time of peace.
Senator Sterling gave notice that
he will call for vote on the bill
today. 1t Is expected that by this
time Senator Johnson will have re-
turned from California and will have
something to say on the measure
Senator Borah said he was unwilling
TO permit the vote to be taken un-
til Senator johnson and others who
desire to be heard on 1t. have reached
here.
Applying the proposed bill to the
record of operations of the Post
master General during the war, SEN
ator Borah said:
II have gone through many of these
cases and the position the Postmaster
General has taken is that the dis
cretion given him would amount to a
refusal to grant hearing. The
amendment gives an accused personal
hearing as a matter of right. The
question of the discretion of the Post
master General is eliminated and the
party accused Is therefore enabled to
present his case in a court Of the
first instance and enjoy the same
privileges as the Postmaster General.
1T is well known that ever since
the present law has been on the
statute books. the present Postmaster
General had used his discretion un-
justly and to the injury of legitimate
and law-abiding publications"

TREATY FIGHT
MAY Be ENDED
BY COMPROMISE
Bryan-Wilson Split Serves
To Set Democrats on
Hunt for Way Out.
HITCHCOCK IS HOPEFUL
The Administration Leader
Feels Squabble May Be
Patched Up.

In the belief that President VIII
sons letter on the peace treaty has
not closed the door to compromise.
Democratic Senators yesterday an
nounced they would continue their
efforts to get from the Republicans
an agreement on reservations which
will lead to ratification
The Bryan-wilson split on the ques-
ton of reservations was the talk of
the cloakrooms. and there was more
discussion OF compromise than there
has been heretofore in the treaty
fight
Senator Hitchcock and others clung
to the hope that it will be possible to
get 81 votes for the kind OF reser-
yations which the President has
stated is the limit he win accept In
Senator Hitchcock's opinion. the Pres
ident's statement is an acceptance
Of the Hitchcock reservations. which
were presented during the fight on
the treaty, and for which Al Demo
cratic Senators voted. He intends tc
use these reservations as the basis
of negotiation with the Republicans
for a compromise.
Senator Lenroot declared that
talk of ''interpretative" reservation.
was idle" and that thetreaty can
not be ratified except-with vital
reservations.
How Situation shapes Up.
Briefly, the situation with respect
to the treaty as a result of the
Presidents statement and Mr.. Bry-
ans recommendation is as follows:
1. Administration Senators con-
tend that the way is still open for
compromise, and that 1t will be pos
sible to tone down the Lodge reser-
vations to a point where they will
receive 81 votes, and be acceptable
to the President.
2 Republican leaders assert that
any essential alteration Of the
Lodge reservations will mean thar
at least forty votes. or more than
one-third. will be cast against rati-
fication.
3. Irreconcilable opponents of the
treaty regard the Bryan-wilson
controversy as a strong asset to
their efforts to defeat the treaty.
because il the Democrats follow
Bryan and accept the Lodge reser-
vations. or anything as strong as
the Lodge reservations. the Presi-
lent will refuse to ratify the treaty.
If. on the other hand. they should
follow the President. it will be i'm
possible for the compromisers to
win away a sufficient number of
Democrats to bring about ratifica-
tion.
Predict Ratification.
Senator Hitchcock declared that in
his opinion the chances of ratification
were extremely good. Senator King
declared the treaty will be ratified be-
fore the end of the month.
On the Republican side. however.
Senator Watson expressed himself
empha:ically as being of the opinion
that the treaty was dead" He de-
clared nothing short of acceptance of
the Lodge reservations would make
ratification possible.
Senator Moses. one OF the irreconcil-
ables. declared his slogan was that
there should be no "dilution" of the
reservations He believes that more
than one-third of the Senate would
vote with the irreconcilables against
the treaty, IL the Lodge reservations
are changed in any essential particu-
lar.
