PERSH|NG COMES TO DEFENSE IF
 ARMY HEADS
General Refutes Charges of Useless Losses On
 Armistice Day.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Charges made before a house war inyestigat- ing committee, that lives of Ameri- can soldiers were wasted in needless attacks on Armistice day, are denied in letter from Gen. Pershing, made public today by Representative Full Ter.
 Gen. Pershing said the American forces were acting under general in- structions issued by Marshal Foch to all allied commanders on Novem- Der g, 1918. and that orders for at Jacks were withdrawn as soon as pos sible after he was advised of the signing of the armistice. He also said statements that American troops were ordered to attack while French divisions remained stationary were wholly erroneous"
 The generals letter is dater No vember 21, 1919, and is in reply to charges contained in letter to MT. Fuller from Capt G. K. Livermore of Winchester, Mass, formerly opera tions officer of the 167th field artil- lery brigade of the 92nd (Negro) di- vision. MT. Fuller made the letter public in view of the statements re- gently made before the Investigating committee by Brig. Gen. Sherburne, commanding the artillery division Of the 92nd division, about which con- troversy regarding Armistice day losses has centered.
 The letter contains the following:
 "I had no knowledge before a. m. November II that the armistice had been signed and that firing was 10 cease at Il a. m. November H.
 'The armistice, effective at Il a. m. November II, was not signed un' til D. m. November II.
 For several days prior to Novem- Der II false rumors regarding the signing of an armistice were prevail ent in all the armies.
 "All armies took steps to correct these rumors and at S:45 p. m. No vember 9. the following telegram was received by me from Marshal Foch:
 "'The enemy, disorganized by our repeated attacks, is withdrawing along the whole front. It is import ant to maintain and hasten our ac- tion. I appeal to the energy and in itiative of the commanders in chief and their armies to secure recisive results
 "All of the allied commanders re- ceived similar telegrams from Mar shal Foch.
 Neither the British nor French or dered firing to cease prior to the go ing into effect of the armistice, that is. II a. m., November II. and in gen eral firing by all the allies and by the enemy continued on the whole front from Switzerland to the sea until that hour. In places the firing died away prior to II a. m. and in a few places firing continued until after that hour.
 "The 92nd division. astride the Moselle, attacked at 2 a. m. November 10, and at a. m, November II, ad vanced a short distance, but the troops had retired to cover in the face of repeated heavy fire when the commander of the attacking brigade received information at 7:1S a. m that an armistice would be effective (COntinueN on Page Five)

BRYAN DENIES
 SPLIT IN PARTY
Says No Law Requires Him To Confer With Chief
 On Opinions.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10-William J. Bryan advocated free and open dis cussion where concessions may be asked and given" in the United States senate, in an effort 10 reach a com promise on the peace treaty, in an address at the Ioquois club today. "Then, if no compromise can be reached, we must acquiesce, for the present, with the Republican major ity." He proposed that in that case enough Democratic votes be with drawn to permit the Republicans a constitutional two-thirds vote by which the treaty and league of na- tions covenant could be ratified with reservations, and allow "the people to pass judgment" at the polls.
 Mir Bryan very emphatically stat ed that there had been no split" in the Democratic party. "The presi- dent and I differ in method and not in purpose" he said.
 Furthermore, 1 am Democrat, and I yield to no other Democratic. not even the president himself, in my interest in the welfare of the party. There's no law requiring one to confer with chief or president before speaking his views"
 "This talk of party splits comes chiefly from the Republicans who have reason to hope for split"

CONCLUDE PEACE WITH GERMANS
 AT PARIS
All Nations That Were In War, Except U. s. Take
 Up Relations.

PARIS, Jan. 10.-Ratification of the treaty of Versailles were exchanged and peace between 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 after noon.
 The outstanding comment tonight on th% ceremony is that it leaves the United States the only power which was actively at war with Germany not now on a peace basis. That was the note sounded by Baron Kurt von Ter sner, head of the German peace dele gation, in a statement to the Asso- ciated Press immediately after the ceremony.
 'I am naturally happy that peace has finally become effective" Baron von Lersner said. My great regret is that the United States is the only country with which Germany is still in a state of war. I hope, however, that this situation will soon be changed
 Execution of the treaty of Yer SallleS imposes upon Germany the heaviest sacrifice ever borne by a na- tion in modern times. We lost in the west and in the east territories that belonged to Prussia for many cen turies. We have assumed enormous economic obligations"
 Asked as to the execution of the terms of the treaty, Baron von Lers- ner declared that Germany was ready and determined to do her utmost. He continued:
 We have already, even without be- ing obliged by the terms of the treaty, delivered considerable quantity of products, including 2.500,O00, tons of coal to France, and I can say that Germany will go to the utmost limit of possibility in fulfilnng all the obli- gations she has incurred.
 "The recovery of our economic prosperity Is as much to the interest of the entente as it is to us.''
 Baron von Lersner said he had had several very satisfactory conferences with Louis Loucheur. French minis ter of reconstruction. regarding the resumption of trade.
