Versailles, May 3, (By The As so.-.

ricades in "the German quarter" of
Versailles designed to prevent any
'of . the Germans from straying off
'the section assigned to them, began
this morning.

served for the Germans, while the
opposite "Ride has-been left free for
residents. Strift control will be es

' the Germans from going out of
bounds without authority.
-These , strict measures were con-v

; disinclination of some of the sub

obey the regulations prescribed for
their movements. - -

The Omaha district freight tramc
committee has received notice from
the railroad administration that after
30 days notice,, tariffs .will be pub
lished, placing Florence within . tire
Omaha freight switching district.
- The fact that Florence.is to come
within the limits of the switching
districts is hailed with' 'joy around
the Chamber of Commerce, as it is
predicted tharihis means the build
ing up of another industrial center in
the near future. Formerly the
switching charge 'between Omaha
and Florence was $J to ?3S a car,
the.,- commodities within the cars
regulating the 'charges. With the
high switching chargesjt was said
to qave been impossible to build up
an industrial . district along .the
tracks between North Omaha and
Florence. .

opportunity to develop a manufac
turing area that can be mace one ot
the most important in the central

French Censors Busy -
When Papers Comment
on Peace Conference
That a censorship is in effect in
Europe, so far as newspapers are
concerned, is' borne out by an ex
amination of the Paris edition of
the Chicago Tribune. In a recent!
edition of that paper, a special wri
ter, Henrv Wales, has" a first page
ptory relative to" the doings of the
peace conierence.
Ihe-hrst three lines of the story
make reference to President Wil
son, and then these words, "Thirty
five lines censored."
Then there is reference to pay
ment of damagej. that the allied
countries will demand from Ger
many, after which the story carries,
"Swenty lines censored."
f Taking up and speaking of the
league of nations, thev article- runs
about 100 vMrds and then "Twenty
lines censored," concluding with
the statement that "Friday Jiere
will be a plenary session of "the
conference," ,
The Tribune's story originally
contained 125 lines, but when the
censor goj, through with it, but 41

Suit Launched. X
Attorney,-. General Larrger of
North Dakota in behalf 4f his state
entered1 action gainst all railroads
operating ifrithinthe commpnwealth.
By stipulated agreemerit witlv Di
rector General of RaTlroads Walker
D, Hines, the action against ' the
Northern Padific company was made
a test case. , i "-
The plaintiff took up the theory
that congress conferred no powrs
on- the president of the . Unrted
States in the"' army appropriation
bill of August 29r 1916, to interfere
with the rates charged bv transoor-
tation industries wholly within the
states. He "argued that under the
constitution the, president has not
the jower to regulate intrastate af
fairs. ' s
THe nlaintiff r1m'fH ttiat tii nr,i.
f ident. has the pwer to mobilize? in-
uusirics, ana conienaea mat mat
power rested only with congress
that.the president as '" commander-in-chief
of the army and navy only
had power within theone of hos
tilities. Director General Hines
contended that the president' has
such power through- act of con-
gress. . ' y
Rights Rest With State.
, However, Langer contended" that
a proviso in the congressional act
of March 21, 1918, reserved to the
several states the taxing powers
andjthe enforcing of lawful police
regulations. Under this he claimed
that the power to regulate rates is
based upon the right of polict pow
ers, and that, therefore, by act of
.congress itself, "the fixing of rates
was reserved to the state.
Action was , brought before . the
supreme court bf North Dakota
aeairist . Hines and the' railroads.
and an injunction was ' sought ... to
prevervtthe roads from continuingi,n.ared contrast even to that part
the higher ratesThe supreme court
was asked to declare the higher
rates illegal and to issue an order
reverting to the rates prior to the
war. '
" The case was won in the North
Dakota supreme court, and Attorney
General Langer entered into an
agreement with Director Hines stip
ulating that the Northern Pacific
case again be used as a test and
taken to the Uned States supreme
court, and that alt other railroad.
would be governed by this decision.
Since the inception of the Northern
Pacific case, 20 other actions con
cerning intrastate rates .have been
started in other sections of the na
tion. -
I Mammpth Sum Involved.
As a conservative .estimate, .up
wards of $1,750,000,000 will be" re
coverable from the railroads under
the federal railroad administration
in case the United States supreme
court upholds the decision of tlie
North Dakota supreme court.
While the v legal, action in itself
does not in any "way call fcr a re
funding of alleged illegal and exces
sive charges,-it does, however, if a
favorable decision is handed down,
pave the way for thousands of law
suits for recovery of one-fourth of
all that has been paid by shippers
for freight carrying since December
28, 1917.
In preparation of the data, assist
ance nas been proffered 1y the legal
departments , of practically ajl-the
northwestern states. Attorney F.
E. Packard of ( the North Dakota
ta. commission,' a special assistant
to Attorney General Langer, is as
sociated with the latter in conduct
ing the action. .'
