That the alliance, though chartered
as non-political organization, went
aggressively into the presidential
campaign Of 1916 in behalf Of candt-
dates favoring Germany and German
ism in the war;
That the alliance with nominal
income Of $4,000 a year from dues.
spent more than $4,000 in one year
in campaign activities;
That the visit Of Prince Henry of
Prussia to this country was to get
all German societies in the United
States firmly welded under the alli-
ance banner. to influence American
policy for the benefit Of Germany
BY Harry c. Campbell Milwaukee
newspaper man: That the alliance
has compelled the study Of German
in the schools in Milwaukee and
other places through control OF the
school board.
That Is was warmly commended by
the German embassy in Washington
for it's work in solidifying the Ger
man vote.

road control bill was in the hands o.
the house and senate conferees today

ment on the differences between tn.
two houses.

senate measure. The differenc es tc
be settled by conferees are 80 slight
that 1t is expected the measure will
reach President Wilson early next
week.
Here are the differences between
the house and senate bills:
Under the house bill the president
can fix railroad rates by executive
order. He may submit disputes tc
the interstate commerce commission
but Is not, bound to abide by that
body's findings.
Under the senate bill the president
can initiate rates and make them ef
fectiye, but they are. subject to re
view by the interstate commerce
commission.
The house fixed period Of govern
ment control after the war at moi
more than two years; the senate al
eighteen months. The administra
tion bill originally left this period
until congress shall order other
wise"
Both house and senate bills take
all short line competitive railroads
under government control and both
provide the $5OO,000,000 revolving
fund for financing the project.
Meyer London offered an amend
ment turning the railways back to
private ownership ninety-nine years
after peace comes.
The final vote on the measure was
337 to 6, those who opposed 1t being
Thomas, Kentucky, and Gordon, Ohio,
democrats, and Chandler, oklahoma;
