American Army of Occupation
/ Find Huns Sleek and Well Fed
(By Edwin L. James, American War
Correspondent s

(By Edwin L. James, American War
Correspondent s
4 Treves, Germany, Dec. 4.-Because
Germany is asking America to feed
her, / paid strict attention to the food
situation when the American Army of
Occupation entered Treves. In the "a
hours we have been here one thing
that has impressed the Americans is
the comparatively plentiful food sup
ply.
This city of $4,000, an industrial
center, appears sleek and prosperous,
and it's inhabitants show no ravages
of hunger. The bread is poor, there
is no coffee. Otherwise food can be
had of 1.lany kinds.
At the time when America is ready
to stint herself and her friends to feed
unrepentant Germany it seems a
statement should be made that tn,
: food conditions here today are better
than in that part of France occuple 7
by the Germans. And the German
army has just passed through this
place.
Three days ago I ate this luncheon
at Nancy, at the. Cafe Liegeoise: Fish,
beefsteak, potatoes and salad, paying
1925.
At the Hotel Portanigra here, I ate
fish, beefsteak, potatoes and salad,
and paid $3.50. The two places were
about of the same class.
Dinners Cheaper Than in Paris.
One may buy dinner here cheaper
than in Paris, with the same grade of
service. The cafes are well filed at
all meals, and the tables seem well
loaded. The meat shops are not badly
supplied. An abundance of canned
goods may be seen in the windows of
the shops along the Sigonstrasse.
1t is true retail prices at the stores
are high, which means, perhaps, that
poor people have difficulty in getting
what they need. But there is food
aplenty for those with money to pay.
In the last "a hours I have heard
many Americans say that perhaps
Germany had better make readJust-
ment of her own food supply before
calling on America.
People Appear Prosperous.
Standing in front of an enormous
glass enclosed dining room in the
Hotel Portanigri, in which many
people are dining well, one almost
wondered why Germany had quit fight
ing, for we had heard so much of
starvation, Of paper shoes, or paper
clothing, and so on. We all thought
up to yesterday of the picture of
misery which lay before us.
But what we saw was different
picture. We were in a beautiful, well
kept city. Women in furs and men in
silk hats pass before US in carriages.

Der SEVENTH.
ENTERED SERVICE LAST MAY
DECEASED HAD LIVED IN THIS
VICINITY ALL HIS LIFE--WAS
20 YEARS OLD <.

Private Clayton Alfred Parks, the
eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Parks
of Birchdale township made the SUI
prone sacrifice Tor liberty and human
ity on the bloody battlefield of France
October 7th. On Monday of this week
Mrs. Mile Parks, mother, received
the following telegram from the war
department.:
"Mrs. Mile Parks,
"Sauk Centre, MINI.
deeply regret to inform you that
Private Clayton A. Parks is officially
seventh.
Harris, Adjt. Gen."
When his call came to join the colors
May 81, 1918, while he regretted that
he was compelled to leave his aged fa-
Their to carry on the farm work, never
the less he was willing and anxious to
do . mans part in subduing the vii
famous autocracy that was seeking to
destroy the peace and happiness of
the world. He left with the Todd
county boys, but entrained with a
large humber from Sank Centre. The
contingent went first to Camp Lewis,
at Am erican Lakes, Wash, then to
Camp Karny, Cal. just before his
contingent left Comp Kearney for the
east, July 80, he was made a member
of Co. H., 128th Unfit. He sailed for
overseas from Camp Mills, L. l., about
Aug. 80. His mother received one let
ter from him after arriving overseas,
written about Sept. Is. This letter
was full of good cheer in which he
admonished his loved ones at home
not. to worry about him as he was will
ing to make whatever sacrifice that
might be necessary to assist in bring
ing victory to the Allies. The par
ents had been hoping against hope for
weary weeks, scanning every mail de-
livery for another letter, and the tele-
gram received Tuesday by mail was
rude shock to them. =.
Mr.. and Mrs Parks called at the
Herald office this Thursday morning,
while they deeply mourn the death of
their beloved boy, yet there is not one
trace of regret that he served his
country. They are hopeful, of course,
that there may be mistake in the re-
port. They take the patriotic Ameri-
can view of the situation.
Clayton was born in Kandota town.
ship Jan. 26, 1889, on what was then
known as the DR.. J. F. Dubois farm.
A few weeks later the family moved
to Birchdale where Clayton resided all
his life With the excel ton of five
years on farm with his parents near
Westport. Later the family again
took up their residence in Birchdale.
Clayton received his education in the
district school near his home. He fol-
lowed farming as an occupation until
he was called into military service.
Besides the parents the immediate
relatives left to mourn are: Mrs. Nels
Orvaar, Sank Centre; Misses Mildred
and Jessie Parks at home; Private
Clarence A. Parks, 9th Div. Hdq.,
Troop, Camp Cody, N. M; Everett
and Charles at home.

Their shoes are of leather, their
clothes look warm.
It is true that is not all of the pic
ture. There are illclad men and
women and ragged children. There
are those who look hungry. There
are those who are cold. But one ex-
pected that. That is what France
had suffered fer four years. That,
and more, is what Belgium suffered.
But what "knocks one cold" is the
well being of the well to do and how
they eat. There is butter where
restaurants in Paris serve no butter.
They serve sugar, a bowl of it at a

they served no sugar at the Hotel

Huns Deface Signboards to Delay

Rotgen, Germany, Dec (Delayed)
-Detachments of the British Army
marched today across the frontier to
German soil and the once forbidden
domain of militarism now is furnish
ing billets for the Contemplate Lit
tie Army" which aroused German
scorn in 1914.
The forces advanced from Vervieres
through Eupen to Rotgen, where they
paused for the night. Here they are
in the course of their methodical
march toward the Rhine. Some of the
people gathered by the roadside to
pay their respects or to welcome the
troops, but for the most port stolid
indifference or glances of hatred were
encountered.
All the signboards had been defaced
in order to give the occupying troops
as much trouble as possible.
The German people encountered to-
day appeared to be well fed. They
were dressed we'll and their farms
looked prosperous. Large numbers of
cattle and other livestock were seen.
Outwardly, the villages showed no
sign of distress. It was impossible the
Germans along this section of the
border could have felt the hand of wal
heavily. y -. e. ~

No matter how old you are you

OF life and keep your eyes turned
