No Reduction in Rail
Charge for Hauling
Nebraska Fish Car

Washington. May 27.-(Special
Telegram )-House members of the
Nebraska delegation have had con-
ference with R. c. Wright, assistant
to Traffic Director Chambers of the
railroad administration, in an effort
to obtain a 10-cents-a-mile rate for
handling the Nebraska fish car. This
was the old rate. After the govern
ment took over the operation of the
roads, the rate was increased to 80
cents a mile, with minimum of SIS
between stations. The new rate is
prohibitive.
According to the Nebraska mem-
bers, the transferring of fish out of
a lake in the Sixth Congressional
districtto lake in the Third, as the
fish hatchery people had contem-
plated, would have to be abandoned
unless the car charge be reduced.
Mr.. Wright told the members Of
the delegation that the increased
rate for moving the fish car was
justified by the increased cost of la
Dor and material. AS the charge for
moving such cars was uniform. he
saw no reason for making an excep-
ton in the case of Nebraska.

Germany Will Agree

for Peace Footing

Berlin, May 27.-The German re-
ply to the allied peace terms will
agree that the German army shall
be 100000 men on peace footing,
but will urge that this limit be not
enforced until conditions are thor
/ oughly stabilized.
Germany will negotiate on this
basis, but will demand the right to
maintain an adequate force during
the transition period which, it is
said, it is bound to pass through at
the conclusion of peace.
The reply will also point out that
the borders of Germany after the
ratification of the peace treaty will
continue in a fluid condition, max
ing adequate control by means of
frontier patrols necessary. On this
score Germany will request the
right to keep sufficient force mob
ilized, unless the allies will assume
responsibility for maintaining order
on all newly frontiers or on
such as are menaced if they remain

The crowds began gathering early
