by American soldiers or American
equipment of some kind since the
army Of ccupation reached the
Rhine. aggregate something more
than 100000 marks. Those al
lowed total approximately 100000
marks Many claims are unique and
some without any Justification.

Americans for 100000 marks. con-
tending that her sole support had
been taken from her. The Ameri-
cans maintained that the German
had been killed by the American
soldier who was acting within his
rights in line of duty. The claim
was disap proved.
Some Of the claims are humorous.

BY LOUIS LUDLOW

WASHINGTON, May II. - The
forces OF conservatism and progress
slvism are squaring away for a
tremendous battle ia the democratic
national convention.
iMen Of old Fashioned conservative
democratic tendencies like Vice
Prcs't Thomas, +. Marshall and Sen.
Atles POmcrenc Of Ohio are ready
to go TO the mat with the heralds OF
the new era like William j. Bryan
and Glenn r. Plumb
Both Marshall and Pomerene
probably will be members Of the
resolutions committee. which will
frame the national platform. Bryan
also probably will be a member or
viii hold "A members proxy. Plum b
no doubt viii exercise influence over
a number of members of that com
mittee.
The fashioned democrats in
the convention propose to put for
ward Vice Pres't Marshall as their
candidate for chairman of the reso-
lutiOns committee. IT is assumed
that the radical element in the COM
mittee will have its candidate for
the Craftsmanship, also
First Gun of Battle.
Far seeing politicians at the ma
tional capital believe the first gun
Of the battle which is 10 determine
whether there shall be an old-fash-
toned or a radical platform was
surrounded by Sen. Pomerene in the
speech which he made before the
Virginia bar assoCia ton at Rich
mond the other night. His topic
was "Our recent federal railroad

In that speech. which was a mem
orable effort and the result Of days

ces. foreshadows bitter resistance
should Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Plumb and
their followers undertake 10 get a
plank inserted in the democratic
national platform cOndemning the
republican congress" for passing
the Cummins bill.
Such a platform declaration not
only would amount 70 a renuncia-
ton OF the position taken on the
legislation by Sen. Pomerene and a
number OF other democratic senators
but IL would be a reputation also
by the party in national convention
OF the votes OF a very considerable
number OF democratic members of
the house Of representatives
Another proposal that Will be
fought with grim determination by
men Ike Vice-Pres't Marshall and
Sen. Pomerene Will be a declaration
In favor of the government owner
ship Of railroads and possibly OF
other utilities, like the telegraph
and telephone IL Is expected that
Mr.. Bryan will champion a govern
ment ownership plank. In a speech
IN Washington some months ago
he came out for what he called a
dual form Of government ownership,
the transcontinental railroads and
through lines while the laterals or
feeders" would be privately owned
and under state control.
Opposed BY Ohioian.
Such a plan is denounced by Sen.
Pomerene, who las made a study
for years Of the transportation prob
lem, and his followers as the essence
Of absurdity. They say that under
II the government would own and
operate a part Of the railroad trans
portation system, while the other
part, which would be privately own
ed and operated would be under
the control Of As state railroad COM
Missions I'm As states and the result
would be never-ending conflict be-
tween federal and state governments.
These are only two Of the issues
that are likely TO come before the
convention on which the conserva-
tive and radical influences will clash
and both sides, free from all indica-
tions, are making elaborate prep
arations for the fray.
