CLASHES WITH

Americans Say The People Are
Loyalty Supporting The
Government Troops
FEELING AGAINST NOSKE

COBLENZ Aug. 5-Throuoh-
out Germany there has been a re
newal Of clashes between troops
Of Gustav Noske. Secretary for
Military Affairs, and civilians
but just what has caused the dis
turbances is not clear in dispatch
es published in German newspa-
pers. American army officers,
however, believe it quite possible
that the manifestations are due
to the food shortage, the reloca-
ton Of Noske troops and the sub
sequent appearance of strange
troops in many cities.
In Cel]e, Hanover, there has
been trouble for more a week
at times the manifestations a.
mounting almost to riots over the
appearance Of a Jaeger battalion
which arrived recently from the
eastern front. The citizens con-
tended that this battalion had
eaten too much Of the city's food
supply. In Heilbronn, Wuerttem
burg, individual soldier have at
tackled and beaten by civilians at
night and their inignia stolen.

West Prussia citizens and troops
OF the First Jaeger zu Pferde req
lment has reached such a state
that the civil authorities have
made demands upon the govern
ment that the troops be moved
to another district.
From information in the hands
OF the officers at headquarters of
the American forces in Germany
1t is believed that, while the ma
Jority of the German people are
now loyalty supporting the gv-
ernment troops, there is an ener-
getic minority which has been in
creasing in bitterness recently a.
gainst the Noske troops wherever
they have appeared in various
parts Of Germany.

8 to 4 in favor Of awarding Mr..
Ford some damages.
Attorney Alfred j. Murphy for
Ford said:
The important issue in this
case has been determined favora-
bly, to the plaintiff. He has been
indicated. Money damages were
entirely subordinate and were
not sought by Mr.. Ford. He
stands not only vindicated but
his attiture as an American citi-
zen has been justified after a trial
which raised every issue against
him which ingenuity and resear-
ch could present. His friends
are entirely satisfied.'
Weymouth Kirkland, Of coun-
sci for the Tribune, said:
1--WE consider it a victory for
the reason that Attorney Alfred
Lucking, in closing for Mr.. Ford,
stated that anything less than
substantial damages would be
defeat for his client.'
