by virtue of franchises issued under public authority.
and they possess certain privileges which the private r.
dividual or the private corporation does not enjoy. But
the difference in the nature of the service performed by
the railroads and by very many Of our private business
concerns is after all very largely q matter of form. We
classify the railroads as common carriers because it IL
essential to the welfare and even the very existence of

It Is to the public interest therefore that arrange

thing that enters Into the service performed by these ecr-

US. SOLDIERS AND GERMANS CLASH
Huns Insolent- -Waylay Sol diers-One American
 Stabbed.

Coblenz, Tuesday, June 10-(By The Associated Press)-Hostility be- tween Americans and German civil ians in the occupied region has caus- ed additional clashes recently. In one instance an American was killed, and in other encounters several Americans were wounded. At least six Americans have been killed by civilians since the American troops reached the Rhine. German officials Say that five Germans have been kill ed by Americans in six months of oc- cupation.
 The Germans admit that they are keeping books on the treatment of civ iloans by the Americans, paying par tfcular attention to encounters where the civilians contended the soldiers were to blame. In American circles the German record is called the red" book.
 Private Patrick Sheridan was killed when Germans celebrating the Whit sunday holiday attacked Americans in the street of Ehrenbreitenstein. Sher- fdan was an innocent bystander. The German who fired the fatal shot was held for trial by a military commits sion.

REFUSE GERMAN MANDATEREQUEST
Clemenceau Firm on Refus al to Admit Germany to
 League.

Paris. June 1.-The reply to the German counter proposals agreed up- on by the peace conference heads re- date for the former German colonies.
 A lengthy memorandum gives the reasons for the refusal and explains the operations of the League of Ma tons on colonial matters.
 The reparations portion of the re- ply, which has reached the printer, does not TX the total sum which the Germans must pay. The text of the treaty itself is not changed, but the reply contains assurances to Germany regarding the method of the repara- tions process, explaining that it is 8 workable arrangeme lent.
 Premier Clemenceau is especially firm in his refusal to agree to the admission of Germany to the League of Nations immediately. The French hold that they understand physocolo- gy better than the Allies and realize what the increasing arrogance of the Germans during the last few weeks means. They say they appreciate how much this arrogance would be in creased if the peace conference for immediate admission to the league. The French, 1t is understood are wiling that the Germans should be admitted later, but insist that this admission must not be in compliance with what they term "Germany 8 present naughty demand"

AGAINST
 PROHIBITION
Practically All Delegates of A. F. of l.. Will Go To
 Washington.

Atlantic City, June 11.---Nearly all delegates attending the convention of American Federation of Labor will go to Washington Saturday by train to participate in the labor dem onstration there in protest against enforcement of war time prohibfbtion Virtually every delegate today signed a card signifying hs intention of going to the capitol.
 sA resolution requests President Wilson to remove Postmaster General Burleson. This was introduced by E. J. Gainer of the National Association of Letter Carriers, T. F. Flaherty of the National Federation of Federal Employees, and E. J. Ryan of the Rail- way Association.
 It says that Postmaster General Burleson has pursued a labor policy in conflict with President Wilson's $ principles and has characterized as silly the right of collective bar gaining.
 with having ''ruthlessly invaded the rights of employees" The resolution continues:
 ''Burleson's archaic and autocratic attitude has resulted in demoralized service, discontented and resentful employees, confused and. choked in dustrial processes, a people wrathful and indignant and a, long series of ad- ministrative blunders.''
