treaty of Versailles were exchanged,
and peace between Germany, France,
Great Britain and the other allied and
associated powers with the exception
of the United States, became effective
at 4:16 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The outstanding comment on the
ceremony is that it leaves the United
States the only power which was ac-
lively at war with Germany not now
on a peace basis. That was the note
sounded by Baron Kurt Won Lersner,
head of the German peace delegation,
in a statement to the Associated Press
Immediately after the ceremony
81 am naturally happy that peace
has finally become effective" Baron
Won Lersner said "My great regret
is that the United States is the only
country with which Germany is still
in state of war. | hope. however,
that this situation will soon be chang
ed.
Execution of the treaty of Yer
sailleS imposes upon Germany the
heaviest sacrifices ever borne by ma
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. Nevertheless,
ain glad that peace is at last re-
established, because it will give back
to Germany her beloved sons still
prisoners abroad"
Asked as to the execution of the
terms of the treaty, Baron Won Lers-
ner declared that Germany was ready
and determined to do her utmost

it is on an island, the only way you
can get out of here is by boat and it
doesn't run after p. M, and being
unable to go or come, we naturally

Carolina, Montana and Charleston are
the cruisers. We have several ships
under construction here. A novel
launching took place here not long
ago. There is a dry dock here about
1000 feet long that is being used as
a building way and instead of the
ship going sliding down the ways, the
dock is flooded and the completed
ship rises to sea level. Two ammu-
milton ships were launched this way
not long ago. They were both built
in the same dock at the same time and
are over 500 feet long each. The
