Intima tions were given in high ollieial quar ters today that withdrawal of the American troops from the Rhine will be seriously considered as soon as the peace treaty signed yesterday in Berlin has ben ratified by the senate and the German reichstag, No definite prediction was made llt it licMm. bniwvll Ill-it flra ttairn m actually was established the admin istration would feel there would be no necessity of burdening Germany with the support of an army of oc cupation. Under the new treaty Germany agrees to perpet uate 'the promise she made in the treaty of Versailles to pay t he expenses of occupation, but there is no direct mention of the sub ject which, it is understood, could be interpreted as in any way affecting the present situation or binding the United States either to remain or withdraw. The Versailles agreement fixed fif- teen years as the maximum period of i occupation. jso tar as is Known mere was no consideration of the subject in the engotiati-uis leading up to the present treaty, and ollicials take t lie view here that the decision lies whol ly with this government. It is sug gested by those favoring an early withdrawal, however, that mainten ance of the forces of occupation might impose such a financial burden on Germany as to delay materially her payment of reparation. Latest availalle figures place the number of Acinerican troops in the army of occupation at 14000, whose cost of maintenance is nearly $1, RESUME OLD WORK The Burlington- storehouse employ es, who have been engaged in various fill-in positions during the time that a large number of the clerks have been at Chicago assisting in the cheeking up of the company mater ial, have now all resumed their form er positions.

Shopp of the local storehouse, have returned from Chicago to take up their regular work and those who have been relieving them will now take over their former jobs.

Despite the predisposition of the administration to disengage Ameri can relations -from any unnecessary entanglements in Furope. many ques tions will enter into consideration of the question of troop withdrawal.

SAYS RIVER CHECK ED AT BROWNVILLE DIFFERS WITH THE RAIL LABOR BOARD Pennsylvania Road Contends That it Alone Has the Authority to Deal With Employes Philadelphia. Aug. 2G. The Penn jylvania railroad's position in regard to the I'nited States railroad labor board's decision ordering new elec tions of employes to represent the men in conferences with the manage ment was defined today by W. W. Atcrburv, vice-president of the Penn sylvania, at a meeting in his offices with twenty Philadelphia and New York newspaper men. -We believe," he said, "the board has gene beyond its authority that it has extended that authority to ad iptrative matters rather than those of arbitration and we are going to them frankly and in a friendly spirit to see if we are right. In any event the public must be the final judge. "Our proposition is supported by a majority of our active employes, with representatives of whom the manage ment met Monday. We hope that the board will grant us a hearing, as we want to take our own employes be fore it and try to prove the sincereity! of our purpose. The railroad labor board has a very hard problem to solve, and I believe it ia trying to jtolve that problem earnestly and justly. We maintained and still main tain that the company alone has au thority to deal with its own employes. "We did not object to designations on the ballots showing whether the candidates for employed representa tives were organization men or not. Many of them at the last election did have such designations. "I do not believe the shopmen will strike, for there is so little for which to strike," said Mr. Atterbury. "Cer tainly not for wages, for Ihey are settled by the railroad labor board." GOES WEST TO SEEK MAN FOR FORGERY Sheriff Quinton to Secure Extradi tion of Robert Seaton, Wanted Here for Forgery From Saturday's Dally. This morning Sheriff C. D. Quin ton departed for Douglas, Wyoming, where he was called to secure Rob ert Seaton, wanted in Cass county on the charge of forgery. This young man it is claimed raised a cheque made on the Nebraska National bank of Weping Water from $2.50 to $32. 50, some time ago and made his geta way for the west. On the return of Sheriff Quinton from the convention at North Plate he started the search for the young man who was located at Douglas, Wyoming, and the authorities there notified to be on the lookout' for him and the result was that be was ap prehended and placed under arrest. Sheriff Qninton was notified that it would probably be necessary to have papers -issued1 to insure the return of the young man from the west and enroute to Wyoming he will stop at Lincoln to have the necessary extra dition papers made out by the gov ernor cf Nebraska. Advices from Douglas indicate that the young man would like to settle the case if possible as he has a contract to drive in the races next week which would net him several hundred dollars and which he will lose if he is compelled to return to Nebraska. RETURNS FROM OMAHA From Saturday's 1-ally. Mrs. J. B. Iligley returned home yesterday afternoon from Omaha where she has been for the past sev eral days at the home of her daugh ter, Mrs. I. J. Iloman, who was in jured in an auto accident several days ago. Mrs. Homan was riding in a car and her son-in-law, Gene Hew itt, was riding on the running board of the machine returning from a trip out toward Carter Lake when another car crashed into 'the machine that they were riding and as a re sult Mr. Hewitt was very severely injured. He was taken to the Swed ish Mission hospital where it was found that he had both legs badly injured and one of them fractured. Mrs. Homan suffered only minor in juries and while still feeling the ef fects of the accident. Is not In seri ous condition.

O'HARE GIVES TALK In spite of reports to the contrary by state papers, the ravages of the Missouri river at Urownville have been stopped to a great extent, al though some of the rip-rapping work which had been done there has been undone during the past few- days. This report was brought back from Urownville today by a man who visited the scene of the cutting. Had the efforts of the workers on the bank been entirely unavailing, he declared, the entire bank and tracks of the I'.urlington would have been swallowed by this time. The cutting has been deflected farther down the river and the Bur lington tracks now seem safe, al though the signal to proceed slowly along that part of the run is given each time the trains near Urownville. The Wood brothers, of Lincoln, realize, however, that they have a hard job ahead of them. Their big boat is still on the job laying the rip-rap work. Several car loads of coal were unloaded at that point Monday for use on the boat. After the heavy rains of the past few days, the river carried away part of the rip-rapping. It is doing some cutting south of the village now. It will be some time before the river's antics are entirely stopped, but work ers feel confident that in the end they will be entirely successful. People continue to motor to Urown ville in largo numbers to watch the Muddy's capers. Neb. City News. CELEBRATES ANNIVEHSARY From Patur Jay's Dally. Yesterday was the twenty-fifth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Seybert of this city and in 1 onor of the occasion there was a most delightful family d'r.ner held last evening at 6 o'clock at the home on Granite street.The dining table was very prettily arranged with the decorations of flowers of the late Grand Island, Aug. 2tl. Mrs. Kate: O'llare has come to this city, made; her address, and gone and little ado has beon made about it. Only a snmlr audience of about 300 attended in an auditorium that would seat four times as many. Not even a single case of heckling took place. -As a result of this fact, those who are familiar! with a conference that was held four; or five days before her appearance j here, are congratulating the Ameri-i can Legion and the city in general,! over the better counsel that finally prevailed,' namely that Mrs. O'llare j was permitted to have'her say unmo-i lested and was in fact deprived of; the advertising any unusual inter-; ference with public speaking invari-' ably affords. For at this conference it was suggested that efforts be taken to prevent the woman from speaking. It was only a conference of five or, six leading members of the Legion,1 the majority of whom, after some de-J liberation, were of the conviction j that non-interference was the best, policy. T.he speaker dwelt almost en- i tirely cn the subject of prison and. prison rctorms. MURRAY Community Picnic at the John Farris Grove, of a mile east of Murray, THURSDAY.
