METZ EXTENDS
GREAT WELCOME
TO P0|NCARE
Representatives French Gov.
eminent Are Given Full
Possession by the In
habitantS. ~.

Metz, Sunday, Dec. S.-After CIV
ing hearty greeting to the French
troops three weeks ago, Metz today
received President Poincare and rep
resentatives of every branch of the
French government. The enthusiasm
shown was more than significant.
In the first surprise at again find
ing themselves French, the people
or Lorraine were unable to express
their emotions. They now have be-
come familiar with French uniforms
and French martial music has been
heard every day since the first en-
trance of General Mangin's army.
They have become accustomed to
French occupation, which, true to
the military spirit for which they are
famous. they thoroughly enjoy.
Possession Of City.
The visit of President Poincare
and representatives OF the French
government meant more than mill
tary occupation. The people of
Metz looked upon it as a sort of Of
fetal entry into possession of the
city. They approved of it by the
presence of vast throng that con-
tinually cheered President Poincare,
Premier Clemenceau, Marshals Jof-
fire.. Foch and Petain and Field Mar
shall Haig and General Pershing, who
were included in the official party
that assembled here today.
All the bunting in Metz was fly
ing when the presidential train
pulled into the station little after
o'clock. The streets were as crowd
ed as it was possible to allow.
Girls Give Greetings.
The girls of Metz, wearing their
national costume, were banked on
both sides of the street from the sta
ton to the Esplanade. Behind them
were packed men and women carry
ing the French flag and wearing ar
tihcial tri-color bouquets in default
of real flowers.
Shouts acclaiming the president
the premier and the general officers
could be heard from the Esplanade
long before their carriages appeared
in sight. All around the square of the
Esplanade were great grandstands
while crowds covered the housetops
and filled the windows, giving the
visitors hearty welcome. Marshals
Joffre, Foch and Petain and Generals
Pershing, Fayolle and Gouraud re.
ceived the warmest greetings wher
they were recognized by the great
throng.

tended the British as They
Draw Near to German
River.

London, Dec. 9.-The German
population west of the Rhine be-
comes more cordial in its attitude
toward the British as Field Marshal
Haig's troops move eastward, ac-
cording to an undated dispatch from
the correspondent of the Daily Mail
with the British army. i.
LAS we approach the Rhine" the
correspondent says, "our reception
becomes more surprising, the au-
thorities In such places as Duren
say undisguisedly that they rejoice
at our arrival. They give two rea-
sons for this, that they are afraid
of their own people. and are afraid
of starvation. Many men confess
that the end of the war brought
such relief that the stigma of de-
feat weighs little. Children some
times cheer our arrival.
Revolution is Real.
The revolutionary movement is
real, but not much on the surface.
The outbreaks during the first days
were suppressed by the retreating
army, which is much less bolshevik
than the soldiers in reserve and at
the bases. | have seen many Ger
man soldiers in uniforms shorn of
badges. They are demobilized, but
they have no civilian clothes to take
the place of their uniforms.
The soldiers guarding the bar
racks talked without rancor of their
experiences in the war against both
the British and French. An over
whelming desire for peace makes
of these soldiers a strong instru-
ment of social solidity, at any rate
for the time being.
Danger signals are received at
times and on occasion cavalry and
machine gunners are called for by
the Germans for fear-generally,
think, exaggerated fear-of bolshe-
vik outbreaks of Russian character.
"The mayors and their stats act
with admirable dignity, but much OF
the population is almost obsequious
and servile to our men,"

Ex-Kaiser Should Haze
Run Cabaret or ShoW,
Says Editor Hardin

London, Dec. 9.--Maximilian
Harden, editor of the Zukunft of
Berlin, said to a correspondent of
the Express, according to a dis
patch from the German capital,
that the impression abroad con-
corning former Emperor William
is a false one. He said that he,
himself, had suffered too much
through the former emperor to
incur a charge of partially, but
that it was a fact that William
Hohenzollern had no personal part
in willing the war, but was mere
tool in the hands of the military
party, by which he was regarded
as coward.
when the moment for declar-
ing war came, the militarists were
afraid he would refuse to sign
the declaration" said Harden.
The former emperor missed his
vocation. He was never happier
than when posing in the limelight.
He ought to have managed a ca
baret or taken q show on tour" !

town in which the international

conferences amidst a dramatic set

with the problems arising from the
Teutonic capitulation.
The commission began its sittings

Maj,-Gen. Rhodes is occupying
