Yanks Watch Silently
AS Enemy Fades Away
Germans Are Leaving Front Lines for the Rear While
Americans Hold Positions Won After Days of
Hard and Bitter Fighting

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES ON
THE MEUSE AND MOSELLE, Nov. 13
(By The Associated Press) 6 100
%. m.)-Germany's army was moving
slowly along its whole front toward
the rear day. The American forces
remain exactly where they were when
the armistice went into effect.
The Germans reluctantly abandoned
their efforts to continue fraternization
where the lines still were in proximity,
but threats to hold as prisoners any
one approaching the American lines
practically stopped their visits.
Retreat Is Big Problem
So far as known at the American
Army Heaquarters no disposition has
been displayed to block at any point
that part of the agreement providing
for the withdrawal Of the German
troops. 1t is realized that the revers-
ing of the gears of the great broken
German machine will not be simple.
There would have been no surprise
among the American officers had the
German front remained almost un-
changed, but already there appears to
have been left Immediately in front of
the Americans little more than a fringe
Of soldiers. In some places even that
line has been withdrawn so far that
the army men on this side do not know
its location.
All day yesterday there was large
number of explosions behind the Ger
man lines, indicating that the enemy
was blowing up ammunition dumps.
Cannot Cross Lines
The terms of the armstice forbid
American airplanes from going over
the German lines. and inasmuch IS
no prisoners are being taken it is VIZ
tually impossible to get any informa-
ton as to the movements of the Ger
man army.
The hours since the cessation Of
hostllities have wrought a wonderful
change on the front. Silence has re-
placed the roar of cannon and the
rattle of machine guns. The marching
columns of troops going into battle
have been replaced by laughing groups
of American and French soldiers re-
Jolclng over the success Of their great
efforts. Every one seems to take it

PARIS, Nov. 13-General Petain. the

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13-Restric-

stated officially to-day, despite the War
Industries Boards partial removal of

In view of the necessity of obtaining
another big war loan in the spring. the
Treasury, with which the capital issues
committee is affiliated, holds that the
securities market still must be left
open largely for government securities.
Consequently, even though business in

building and road materials and neces-
sary machinery for construction. they
will have to demonstrate that their
projects are needed or advisable in the
light of the national situation before
