WHEN THE HUN GETS
STARTED HE GOES SOME

Last Thursday the Germans signed
the American peace document. It il
said that all speed records were cast
to the discard when they finally made
I up their minds that they were tired
of being on a war basis with the
U. S.
The signing occurred in the office
of Foreign Minister Rosen . in the
Wilhelmstrasse, around the corner
from the office of the American Com
mission.
The function Occupied about ten
minutes. Ellis Loring Dresel, the
American Commissioner, who was
seated opposite the Foreign Minister
at the latter's desk, signed both cop
les of the treaty first and then pushed
the document across the desk to Herr
Rosen, who affixed his own sigma
ture.
The German Foreign Minister in
signing expressed qualification at this
act for the resumption of friendly re-
lations between the two nations,
Dressed replying with reciprocal SEN
timents.4
The treaty consists of three arti-
cles the preamble citing sections 2
and of the Porter-Knox peace reso-
luton. Article says:
Germany has undertaken to ac-
cord to the United States, and the
United States shall have and enjoy
all the rights, privileges, indemnities,
reparations or advantages specified
in the aforesaid joint resolution Of
the Congress of the United States,
including all the rights and advan-
tage stipulated for the benefit of the
United States in the treaty of Yer
sailles, which the United States shall
fully enjoy, Notwithstanding the fact
such treaty has not been ratified By
the United States"
The signing of the treaty in Ber-
Lin today marks the elimination of
efforts extending over the better part
of three years to establish formal
peace the United States and
Germany.
at Paris, the United States became
a signatory to the treaty of Yer
sales, making peace between Ger
many and the allied and associated
powers, but the failure of the United
States Senate to ratify this pact left
the two nations still nominally at war.
To end this condition the Porter
Knox resolution was passed by Co.'S
gress and signed by President Hard
ing on. July last, declaring termina-
ted the state. of war with Germany
entered into by the United States on
April 6, 1917, four years and nearly
five months ago Shortly afterwarl
instructions to negotiate post with
Germany under this resolution were
sent to Ellis Loring Dresel, United
States Commissioner in Berlin, and
in mid-July the negotiations were
taken up in the German capital
