KIND GREETINGS
GIVEN YANK EES
BY COBLENZFOL

Coblenz Sunday, Dec. s.-With
The arrival of the Americans at the
Rhine a company of American engl-
ueers was prepared to throw tenn
porary bridge across the stream
There were however, already four
bridges spanning the stream, two
here and one in the north and anoth-
or to the south over which the
American army is expected to cross
Dec. q in a 30-mile arc.
Well Received
Col. James Rhea of Texas. head of
the American commission. has been
dealing for four days with the local
authorities on questions incident to
the taking over of the bridgehead.
Instead of antagonism or even pas
siye acquie3cence he encountered
lively cooperation. The mayor OF
Coblenz issued a proclamation in
which he requested the inhabitants
to refrain from all acts OF discour-
tesy or violence and to accord the
Americans such assistance as pos
sible.
A local committee was appointed
10 assist the Americans in assuming
control and officers Of the German
army remained behind after the last
Of their mon had marched out, In
great stores Of supplies.
Boys Were DapPer
While the Americans were march
ing into the city today the last di-
vision OF the German army was only
a few kilometers beyond the Rhine,
moving in orderly fashion. Almost
every man had a rosette or a sprig
Of green in his cap. Many OF the
trucks and wagons were decorated
with quantities of Christmas green's.
Admire American Bravery
Lieut.. Heinrich Prince, one of the
commissioners detailed by the Ger
mans to deal with the Americans,
was the officer who transmitted to
Major Whittlesey the German de-
hiand to surrender when Whittlesey
was commanding the famous "lost
battalion" in the Argonne forest. In
talking with officers of the 77th d.
Vision today, Lieutenant Prince said
his comrades and superior officers
held the highest admiration for the
Americans in that fight. The only
motive for demanding the surrender
soh the '1ost battalion" was TO save
ghe Americans from what the Ger
mans then believed would be certain
humiliation.
courtesies to Yankees
Il The comparatively light yoke the
Americans have laid on the Germans
appears to have Influenced them in
their attitude toward the Ameri-
cans. When the troops went to the
barracks just evacuated by the Ger
mans they found they had been
scrubbed to a state of spotlessness,
and that mattdess coverings had
been washed and refilled with fresh
hay.
Valuable Stores for Delivery
Formal delivery OF stores has not
yet been made, but an officer today
delivered a map to Colonel Rhea
showing the location of graat guam
titles OF ammunition, guns and gem
eral stores, both in CoblenZ and in
the fortress across the river. It is
estimated that more than 500 truckc
will be given up. The total value of
the property to be delivered will run
well into the millions Of dollars.

It will be noted that Bill does not

whom he so unjustly attacked in a
recent issue.
Bills silly attempt to pass the

recommend that there is no time like

An accusation of party disloyalty
coming from William Rhodes, who has
been hopping hopefully from pillar to
post in the political field for the past
five years, strikes us on our most fun
NEST funny-bone. The News has at
tempted to climb on every political
wagon that has ventured into Valley
county, and wherever it has secured
a foothold has succeeded most man.
fully in wrecking the organization.
Scarcely an issue of the News has
appeared in the past years that did
not contain at least one f1at-footed lie
concerning some man or set of men
in public office. The paper has been
discredited in the home of every fair
minded nan in the county and has the
state wide reputation Of being the
DIRTIEST, MOST COWARDLY,
YELLOW JOURNAL published in the
state today.
A mar who spends his entire time
during a crisis such as this nation is
facing now, connecting malicious, in
sane and senseless declarations
against the officers of the city, county,
state and nation with an absolute dis
regard for the truth or veracity of his
statements, is in poor grace to parade
his loyalty before the people of the
United States. There are two kinds
of loyalty in the United States today,
the loyalty of the man who stands
first last and all Of the time for the
government, be it right or wrong,
and the loyalty of the man who is
afraid to be otherwise.
Bill says W r jealous. What for
we can't guess. We will leave that
to the readers Imagination.
Bill says that in trying to break
into the aviation corps, we were
looking for a soft snap, safe from the
dangers of the firing line. Mebbe so.
W. did much flying "yet" and
therefore are not in a position to
state how soft or how safe it is.
Bill says he wants to go to war. He
ought to make a good man as he
wouldn't need a gas mask, and could
be used on special duty.
In concluding we might state that
we know how we'll Bill loves us. Of
course he has his reasons When the
Courier editor came to Glasgow, Bills
sun was at its zenith. Since that time,
for obvious reasons, many dark clouds
have passed over it and he accredits
some of them to US. But we intend
to try and struggle along despite the
venom that drops from his sulphuric
pen and when we reach the mature
age, which the editor of the News now
enjoys we expect to be able to lay
our hand on the shoulder of at least
one man in our home town and call
him "Friend."

One teacher gave a pie social and

We apologize, deeply and sincerely
to the government of the United
States and to the readers Of the Ccur-
Ter for devoting this space to a sub
ject which at this time, with the ma
ton facing the greatest crisis in his
