 The largest hotel in Coblenz. over looking the Rhine and the two bridges where most of the troops cross the river, has been taken over as quarters for Third army officers. The head quarters of the Third army are estab- lished in a government building ad- joining the hotel.

REVELRY IN. BERLIN
 CREATES ABATEMENT

London, Dec. IT (British Wireless Service).-The' correspondent in Ber- lin of the Daily Express, dealing with the return of the German army, says: 'DeutscSland uber Alles brought me into the street this morning. To my amazement, ond to the apparent amazement of the French officers grouped in the window of the erh- bassy, regiment was passing the Brandenburg gate to the old tune. Later I heard it played continuously as cavalry infantry and artillery swept by. ResNnental flags were crowned with laurel wreaths. Teh men wore evergreens around their steel helmets and their tunics and guns were cov- cred with flowers.
 Berlin is dancing mad. There are about fifty cabarets in the city and dancing goes on all the afternoon and until o'clock at night. In week s time the edict closing dance halls at g o'clock will be removed and dancing then will continue all night. .Berliners are looking forward to this.
 Tt is a remarkable sight to see cabarets packed to suffocation with women in expensive toilettes and both soldiers and civilians dancing and drinking wine costing @ a bottle Seats at the theatres can only be booked two days ahead. We are try ing to forget said Berliner to me today"

NEW PRESIDENT OF PORTUGAL
 POPULAR WITH MASSES

New York, Dec. 17.-Santos Fernan- dez. representative of the Portuguese shipping board here, declared today that the new president of Portugal. Admiral Canto y Castro, undoubtedly had been chosen by parliament ito conciliate all factions" Lacking com- plete information, he said he believed Castro now was privisional head of the republic and subject to a future popular election.
 President Costro is about 55 years old and was born in Lisbon. He comes of an old Azores family, is mar ried and has several children. Since last September he had been minister of marine and previous to that time was chief of stan of the Portuguese naval high commission. In 1894 he was governor of Lorenzo Marquez, Delagoa Bay. East Africa, and before that was head of a sailors school at Oporto. During the war. and until he became minister of marine, Admiral Castro was in command of the Portu- guese naval patrol and coast defense.
 He is said to be scholar and pop ular with the masses but never was in politics. The fifth president of Por- tugal in the past eight years, he took no part in the revolution that deposed President Machado. He accepted the portfolio of minister of marine relnct- antly, 1t is said, preferring a maya, command to public life.
