WITH THE AMERICANS IN
PRUSSIA, Dec. (Night) Several
hundred thousand Germans are now
accepting the situation with remark
able quietness and complacently and
are not finding this authority oner-
GUS. Astonishment is often expressed
at the Americans lack Of harshness
and their policy of non-interference.
Normal life is going on in the oc-
cupied towns and peasants are plow-
ing the fields as the troops march
past. Factories are humming with
activity. Hundreds Of discharged
German soldiers are passing through
the American lines. / recently saw
some of these men still in their uni
forms working in the fields.
The Americans are gradually TAX
ing over supervision of the telegraph,
telephone and postal systems. Amer
ican trains carrying supplies are ar
irving at Treves, which Is now gen.
orally referred to under it's French
name of Trier. This traffic does not
interfere with regular passenger
trains.
Under the terms of the armistice,
Germany will pay the expenses OF
the third army. The Americans.
therefore, are giving receipts for all
reuuisitions and billets which will be
collected from the German govern
ment. The burgomasters Of the vii
lagos are cooperating in assigning
billets.
DEGREES have been issued ordering
the surrender of all arms and ammu-
milton. The people in some towns
have already turned over their guns
and receipts have been given them.
Corps and division headquarters
are generally established in school
houses or other public buildings.
The only untoward incident recent
ly reported occurred today, when
some school children in the little vii
Iage Of Scheich threw decayed vege-
tables at American officers. The lat
ter ignored the affair.
