AMERICANS GIVES : assss,s.s S sses1ee9r| ~-.yss' " 7'''IIFRfNCA VI PEOPLE SfIRST5BIG THRILL Their Arrival In Villages and Driving Out of Ger

 1nent.

With The American Forces in France, Oct. 31 Correspondence of The Associated Press. .)-1t was three American privates who gave the Trench civilians of the German occu- pied village of Thiaucourt the great est thrill of their lives. For four years they had been waiting-and then the Americans came.
 When the three privates-an ad- vtnce guard of swarms of other Am ericans in their wake-swung into the war-torn village of Thiacourt not a soul was in the streets. But within a few minutes news spread among the seven hundred civilians that the American were there and mne and women and children came in droves from cellars where they had been hiding in terror for two days and nights. And from other cellars and dugouts there came six hundred Ger man soldiers who dere delighted with the idea of giving up
 The offensive of the first American army, which wiped out the St. Mihiel salient, began on Thursday morning and it was aSturday afternoon when the weary Americans reached Thiau- court, hungry and fatigued from fast walking in their eagerness to keep pace with the fleeing Germans.
 As the Americans poured into the village the French realized more and more that again Thiaucourt had come into her own men stood in the streets and cried openly and women sat about on doorsteps ad bits of wreckage caused by shells and wept until near exhaustion. And in the confusion the children cheered out even some them, the older ones realizing what it all meant. cried too and kissed the hands of the officers and men.
 What food they had on hand the French turned over to the Americans the villagers insisted upon the Ameri- cans, taking all they wanted If what they had. So in the streets and in the houses, some of them occupied only few hours previously by German officers and men, the Americans made themselves at home, for short breathing spell, and the French popu- lation of the village endeavored to satisfy the capacities of their deliver CTS.
 From the time the Germans reach ed Thiaucourt in September, 1914, un- til few days after the village had been retaken by American troops the ! civilians were entirely without fresh meat of anf kind excepting now add l the a chicken or a rabbit which were raised in cellars without the know

LUMBER OFFICIALS
 ARRESTED CHARGED
 WITH CONSPIRACY

New York, Nov. 7-With the arrest of thirteen officers and emploves of the Coastwise Lumber and Supply Company today it was disclosed by Federal officials that. an elleged con spiracy has been in progress to de- fraud the government of thousands of dollars, through not delivering lumber for which the government paid.
 The company's government con tracts are said to aggregate between $2.O0O,000 and s3,000O00 and to in- volve the supplying of lumber for Camp Upton, Long Island; the coastal naval air station at Newport, R. L.: the army piers at H6boken. N. J., and othed army posts as we'll as for the United States Shipping Board and the customs service.

the crowds and several persons were injured. Fearing that conditions might become worse after nightfall, police reserves were called into the down. town district from outlying points and it was announced that they ould be aided in preserving order by squads of firemen.
 Despite the denials which quickly followed the reports of peace, the demonstration continued in all sec tions of the city for several hours, although rain whicht began late in the afternoon dispersed the crowds.
 Passengers on trains arriving at the various depots received the ''ntws" and joined in the demonstra- tion. Citizens seized pretty girls in the street and heartily kissed them. I most cases the girls indicated they felt that it was a proper part of the demonstration.
 On Randolph Street an Italian sal oonkeeper rolled two barrels of wine out on tht sidewalk, tapped them and

The stock exchange, consolidated exchange and curb market all sus- pended business and closed their doors at 2:30 o'clock.
 From roofs and windows of the city sky scrapers, newspapers and tele- phone books torn into bits, were flung. Wastebaskets were emptied and the job of the street cleaners tomorrow will be Heculean.
 As the afternoon progressed and before The Associated Press announ- ced that the armistice had not been signed and that the peace rumors were premature and untrue, business offices began to be deserted.
 lmpromptu parades were organized and scenes were enacted in Broadway which that thoroughfare had never before witnessed.
 F In the principal streets the crowds became so dense that it was impos- sible for vehicles to pass through. Stalled automobiles joined in the noise with their horns. Fifth avenue was bedlam. II

AFTER THE WAR WHAT?

Peace is near enough (maybe by the time this is printed it will be an es- tablished fact) for humanity to con- slider it's next great problems:
 Reconstruction in Europe.
 Readjustment in America.
 All the world must prepare for peate times Statecraft must prepare. Business must prepare and labor must prepare.
 What is the greatest problem of peace, and what is the solution for it? Some, will say demobilization, oth- CTS will assert that the land problem will be the largest. Shall returned soldiers be plafd on idle acres, or shall cheap lab0be imported to work them under government control.
 The railroads-how' shall they be unscrambled? Shall they be returned to their owners, or be kept by the government? 2;
 The Labor Market-will flood of retMrned soldiers send down wages and force the less efficient into unem- ployment? Will the ideals of the A. F. L. or the I. w. w. rule the labor world?
 The Woman-will she return to the home? Has her entrance into industry changed her views of home, marriage and self support? #@
 Religion-what will it be in future? ? ! Business will be discussed from many angles. How will America avoid disturbance through the sudden stoppage of war manufactures? Will government continue to control busi- ness to a greater or less extent? Where are we to look for future markets? How can Che, changes from war industry to peace industry be made with least trouble? ::
 Farming. Is the day of the small farm coming again? How will the worlds needs be met while Europe is being rehabilitated? .'@,
 These are a few of the problems, and there are others, of course.

 So much for America. The world at large has questions as great or great CT.
 A League of Nations-how can ii exist? What must each nation sur render when it enters the international fold? Will kings depart? Will armies cease? Will navies be pooled in an in ternational police force?
 Germany-how can it be treated News direct from Germany.
 The New Nations about then and their problems?-
 The Worlds Commerce -Suez, Con. stantinople, Panama, Gibraltar-how can these strategic waterways be SC handled as to avoid all future jealous ias and cause of friction?
