GERMANS ASTONISHEO
Cannot Understand Noninterfer-
enCe Policy of U. S. Forces.
Lack Of Harshness Of American Army
Of Occupation Source of Wonder
to Inhabitants.

With the Americans in Prussia, Dec.
6.--Several hundred thousand Germans
are now under American authority.
They are accepting the situation with
remarkable quietness and complacency
and are not finding this authority on
erous. Astonishment is often ex-
pressed at the Americans lack OF
harshness and their policy of nonin-
reference.
Normal life is going on in occupied
territory and peasants are blowing the
fields as the troops march past Fac
tories are humming with activity.
The Americans are gradually taking
over supervision of the telegraph, tele-
phone and postal systems. American
trains carrying supplies are arriving
at Treves. This traffic does not inter.
fere with regular passenger trains.
Under the terms of the armistice
Germany will pay the expenses or the
Third army. The Americans, there
fore, are giving receipts for all requi
sitions and billets, which will be col
lected from the German government
The burgomasters of the villages are
cooperating in assigning billets. De
,crees have been issued ordering the
surrender of all arms and ammunition
The people in some towns have al
ready turned over their guns and re
ceipts have been given them.
Corps and division headquarters are
generally established in schoolhouses
or other public buildings. The only
untoward incident recently reported
occurred when some school children In
the little village of Scheich threw de
eayed vegetables at American officers
The latter ignored the affair. The
most advanced elements of the Third
army have occupied the towns OF Witt
Itch, Berncastel and Zetlinger

SENATORS WON'T GO ABROAD
Cummings Resolution Is Unanimously
Dlsapproved by SoIons.

Washington, Dec. 6.-By unanimous
vote, the senate foreign relations COM
mittee disapproved the resolution OF
Senator A. B. Cummins of Iowa, re-
publican, proposing to send senate
committee to Paris for the peace con-
ference.
Various reasons were assigned by
members for opposition to the Cum
Minis plan, which provided that four
democratic and four republican sena-
tors should go to Paris, not as peace
delegates, but to keep the senate in
formed. Some members, republicans
as well as democrats, thought such a
step would be undignified. 1t was con-
tended that the sending of committee
might interfere with the American del
egation's action would give the senate
no more information than it would
otherwise obtain, and might embarrass
action of senators appointed when the
peace treaty comes before the senate
for ratification.

determination that no limitation shall

arguments and appeals are addressed
to us, TO lend ourselves in any way
to any lettering restrictions which will
prevent the British navy maintaining
Its well tried and well deserved su
premacy"
The island of Helgoland, formerly
Danish. was ceded to Great Britain in
1914. In 1890 Great Britain ceded II
to Germany, who began developing II

base.
II lies in the North sea Off the

which it dominates.

Adopt Resolution Favoring Re.
turn of Their Property to
Private Ownership.
TO WORK OUT PLANS
Government Ownership and Operation
of Lines Is Characterized as
Not Conducive to Highest
Economic Efficiency.

New York. Dec. GA resolution
favoring return of the railroads to pri-
vate ownership and expressing the
hope that the remaining period of fed
eral control would be such as to lease
the properties in the highest state of
efficiency was adopted by executives
of roads comprising more than 80 per
cent of the rail mileage of the coun-
try In conference here.
Government Ownership Opposed.
Government ownership and opera
tion of railroads was characterized as
mot conducive to the highest eco
nomic efficiency of the country" and
1T was suggested that private initia-
tive, enterprise and responsibility in
creation, extension, Improvement and
operation should, as a matter of ma
tional policy, be fostered and pre-
served"
The executives also voted that "as-
surance would be given to the direc-
tor general of railroads and his asso-
ciates of our earnest desire to CO.
operate with them in the performance
of their important and difficult trust
and In the adoption of plans for the
return of these properties to private
management and operation, which
plans should be just, alike to the pub
lie, to the owners of the properties
and to the employees engaged there
on"
Plans to Be Worked Out.
II was announced that meetings
would be held soon to work out plans
and proposed legislation for the return
of the railroads to the individual COM
panies.
"This shows the railroad companies
want a readjustment of conditions"
said t. Dewitt Cuyler, chairman of
the advisory committee, after the
meeting.
They do not wish or expect to es-
cape adequate, responsible public reg
| ulations but look forward to relation
| between rates, wages and dividends
which will stimulate business, ade-
quately reward labor and attract the
volume of new capital needed for ex-
pansion."
