PARIS, August 14.-Angry demands

French troops along the Rhine and
the duration of their stay.
The Temps remarks that France
was refused the protective guaran-
tees she needed. and now is refused
mortgages to guarantee her repara-

have taken from her the only means
she has left for her security and to
enforce her claims and bring Ger
many TO reason"
1t is recalled by the Temps that
Great Britain refused to cancel
Frances debts to her. and it de-
clares that France likewise should
refuse to grant Germany a delay un-
til Great Britain displays toward
France the same generosity she dis
plays toward Germany.
The newspapers generally give
scant notice to the two German
notes of protest, simply publishing
them with the remark that Germany
would not have adopted such a tone
under other circumstances, implying
that British encouragement Is re-
sponsible for Germany's various OBJ

Mr.. Dougherty pointed out to the
United States district attorneys that
they could prosecute any persons
guilty of conspiracy to interrupt
interstate commerce. The foundation
for his telegram is the famous act
of 1890, known as the Sherman anti-
trust law.
1t is a broad statute and makes it
crime for any one to conspire with
any one else to interrupt interstate
commerce. 1t has been used chiefly
to prevent monopolies in production
which are in restraint of trade. yet
it embraces any act which tends to
restrain commerce. Labor unions
have always felt sensitive about this
law. They tried under the Taft ad-
ministration and succeeded under the
Wilson administration in persuading
Congress to pass a law exempting
funds appropriated for anti trust
prosecutions to be used against labor
unions and they had as their allies

Indictment Possible.
Little doubt prevails in the minds Of

Of conspiracy to restrain interstate

bring peace in the rail strike and might
establish once and for all the principle
that while individuals may have right
to strike they cannot combine to cause
