which packed Carnegie Hall last even

Great Britain and America must ret

this is realized an alliance similar to

Taken From Her

orator." is in Hungary making speeches
to the Soviet council, she obtained her
passport in a legitimate manner. the
State Department announced to-day.
A dispatch to "The New York Globe'
and "The Chicago Daily News" says q
Mrs. Eastman" addressed the council
early this month and denounced the
enforcement of the espionage act in
America against Debs and other radical
leaders.
No passports are issued, it was stated
at the State Department except for
urgent business reasones, but neither
are they denied merely because the ap-
pllcant is radical or Socialist. The
suggestion was made, however, that
there was always a chance that Amer
lean radicals who went abroad on
business and then proceeded to stir
up trouble, might have their passports
taken up and find themselves ma
rooned.
1t was learned in New York yester-
day that Crystal Eastman left here for
Hungary on April 2 after receiving a

Germans Kill Six
Americans i'm Rows
In Occupied Area
Insolence of Natives Grows
and Attacks ON Soldiers
Are Frequent When Our
Boys Are Outn,lmbered

COBLENZ, June II (By The Asso-
ciated Prcss) Hostility between the
Americans and German civilians in the
occupied region, which has been in
creasing recently, has resulted in ad-
ditional clashes during the last few
days. In one instance an American
was killed, and in other encounters
in various parts of the occupied zone
several Americans were wounded At
Third Army Headquarters it was said
that at least SIX Americans had been
killed by civilians since the American
troops reached the Rhine. German
officials say that so far as their records
go the number of Germans killed by
Americans in fights during the six
months Of occupation total no more
than five.
Record Of Clashes Kept
Incidentally the Germans admit that
they are keeping books on the treat
ment of civilians by the Americans,
paying particular attention to encount-
ers where the civilians contended the
soldiers were to blame In American
circles the German record is called the
"Red" book.
On the American side it is claimed
that fight, in which Private Patrick
Sheridan, a native of Ireland, who en-
listed in Chicago, was shot and killed,
was brought about by party of Ger
mans, who had been celebrating the
Whitsuntide holidays, and who at
tackled Americans in the streets of
Ehrenbreitstein. Witnesses agreed that
Sheridan took no part in the fight, but
was an innocent bystander, when
struck by a German bullet. The Ger
man who fired the shot is being held
TOR trial by military commission.
Disputes Are Frequent
In Arzbach soldiers and civilians
clashed Monday night, one American
being stabbed and a German sustain
ing fractured skull. In several other
villages it was reported there had been
fights Sunday and Monday, with about
an even number of soldiers and
civilians injured.
The frequency of encounters has
caused General Liggett, the Third
Army commander, much anxiety and
orders have been issued to the military
police to take measures for prevent
ing soldiers from attacking Germans

On motion of Charles r. Murphy,
leader Of Tammany Hall, the executive
committee of that organization yester-
day adopted resolution condemning
Bolshevism, especially the recent at
tempts of the Reds to assassinatc
judges and other men prominent in
public life. The resolution, in part.
read:
Recent outragcs and criminal at
tempts to assassinate persons promi-
nent in public life reveal the efforts
OF certain lawless elements of the COM
munity to overthrow and destroy our
American government. 1t is apparent
that the efforts of these anarchistic
and Bolshevistic elements to spread n
gospel of discomfort, violence and force
are wholly foreign and alien to the
fundamental principles upon which the
government of our country rests.
"The Democratic party has con-
sistently and continuously advocated
for the individual the greatest de-
gree of personal freedom compatible
with the enjoyment Of these great and
sacred rights by all our people, and
has insisted upon the orderly progress
and development Of the interests of the
masses, against which principles and
