YANKEES MARK TINE
UNTIL FORMAL PEACE

Twenty-four hours cessation OF hos
tllities has wrought wonderful changt
on this front Silence replaces the roar
OF cannon and the rattle OF machine
guns. Ambulances are all parked along
the road instead OF bowling along OK
errands OF mercy. Marching columns OF
troops going into battle are replaced b,
laughing groups Of doughboys and
poilus rejoicing at the success OF their
great efforts. Everyone seems to take Il
for granted that the war is over.
Only one thing goes along as before
the toll OF German prisoners who art
working by thousands, to repair dam
age that their guns and mines have
done innocent roads in France. They
have large task ahead.
Towns I'm this part OF France continue
10 celebrate with undated Joy. From
somewhere have been dug up street
lights which have been dark for four
years and with the dust wiped OF. they
blaze In every hamlet at night. France,
equal 10 every task Of war and adyer-
slty, knows how 20 get back into a
stride OF Joy and peace.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY AT
THE FRONT, Nov. i3.-The American
amy is marking time until orders come
from Marshal Foch for the next move.
Roads about the front are filled with
pageantry OF war that has ended with
the doughboys wondering when they
Will get home and poilus laughing OF
the burdens and the sorrow OF the past
four years.
All day a large number OF explosions
back OF the German lines indicated that
the Boche was blowing up ammunl-
tion dumps. Very few Germans were
seen along the front lines. which gave
rise 10 the belief that plans were al
ready under way for retirement back
10 their own border. The German com
mand has a difficult task 10 accomplish
this In time, for since the Americans
cut the Mezieres-LonguyOn line at Sc
dan, the Germans have but one main
line Of return 10 Germany, running
through Liege. Terms OF the armIstlce
forbid our alrplanes going over the
German lines.
