Washington. Nov. 14-Peace between the United States and Germany was formally proclaimed today by President Harding.
 The President in a proclamation signed at 3:62 D. m. today declared the state of war between the United States and Germany, existing from April 2. 1917 to have terminated in fact July 2, 1921, when the joint peace resolution of congress was approved by the executive.
 Issuance of the proclama ton which followed exchange of notifications of the treaty of Berlin, effected Armis- tice Day in the German capital, was considered the first of series of three steps which when completed will re- turn the United States to a complete peace status.
 Int, second step probably will be the nromulgation of a proclamation declar- Ing the war with Austria to have end sd and the third the issuance of a similar proclamation with respect to Hungary. The proclamation dealing with Austria is expected to be signed by the president and issued through he state department within a few lays as notifications of the treaty be- tween the United States and Austria were exchanged at Vienna last Tues day. Notifications between the United States and Hungary are expected to be exchanges soon and the proclamation issued soon afterward.
 Until the third and final step is taken the purposes of the formal pro- clamatiOns will not be achieved in the opinion of officials. There purposes are stated 10 be to put an end without 1orr lions of the espionage act, the Lib- city bond act and trading with -the-e en- emy act. Portions of the last named statute are preserved, however, through the treaty.
 Disposition of the cases of Eugene V. Debs and others convicted of viola ton of war laws likewise will await the third and final step.
 Attorney General Oaugherty has pre- pared an opinion for the president suggesting a method of disposing of the Dcbs case and. il is understood proposing definite treatment of the cases of others convicted of sImlar offenses. This opinion, however, has not yet been presented to the presi dent. and Alr. Daugherty has indicat : ed that there may be last minute changes before it's submission.
 The proclamation issued today has no bearing on the resumption of dip- lometiC rrlati7ns between the United states and Germany. state department officials asserting that the exchange of notifications in itself restored such diplomatic relations. Just when Ger many will resume her old diplomatic status in Washington. is not known here but it is expected that Baror Edmund Erthmann, former counselor of the German legation at Budapest will arrive in Washington shortly tt eNchange for a technical installation of a German embassy.
