included Russians, Roumanians, Ital-

British and Americans. They were
picked up in trucks and sent to the

Every details OF the advance was
carefully planned. Engineers had
painted signs. indicating the towns
and the distances between them. AS
the columns rolled forward, various
units dropped out of line to take
up previously assigned positions.
The whole thing Is far from spec

of the lighting qualities OF the dough-
boys.
(Spincourt is sixteen miles north
east of Verdun and twenty-six miles

The German soldiers said they were

troops they had known since the Hun
invasion over four years ago.
The Americans are ready for the
slightest violation of the armistice.
Signal corps men are stringing tele-
phone wires along the poles set up
by the, Germans. The artillerymeu
at every halt plant their cannon In
the fields along the roadside and at
the cross roads with neat piles OF
deadly shells behind the guns, ready
to protect the infantrynen with q bar

The weather was bitter cold and
cloudy when the doughboys set cut
this morning. The landscape, thick
with shell holes, was covered an inch
thick with frost.
Yanks Eager 10 Go.
But the doughboys did not mind
the weather nor their heavy packs
All were eager to invade the enemy
zone and to see the village people.
Thousands OF Italian, Russian, and
Polish prisoners, released from Ger
man prison cages, flowed in the OPP
posite direction in quest OF rest,
warmth and food in the American
lines.
The influx Of prisoners is raising one
of the biggest problems confronting
our army of occupation. They must
be fed. The hungry. ragged, tagged
soldiers are given every consideration
and are invited to a seat at one OF the
hundreds of bonfires that light up the
landscape. When elbow" was dished
UP, the refugees were invited to par
ticipate.
The march Is being marked by some
OF the most striking scenes of the war,
and they are being stamped indelibly
upon the minds, of the doughboys.
Collect Souvenirs.
Some of the Yanks complained that
their jaws WERE getting sore trying
to pronounce the names of some of the
places they were passing. but the
soreness passed away at Chow" time
The Americans are great souvenir
hunters. and at rest periods they were
busy picking up all sorts Of discarded
German equipment
Some of them carried signboards
and others posters that they had pried
from the sides of buildings.
What surprised the doughhoys mos,
was the number OF American flags
huttering in villages the Germans had
left just the day before.
Late in the day. when the men De-
gan to tire after the strenuous march,
the soldiers began throwing away
their souvenirs, promising themselves

Germany Sought Secret.
German aviation officials knew that
allied aviators had. during the last
six months, some advanced means OF
communicating and receiving orders
from their airdromes. But they did not
know exactly what 1t was which
helped the allies maintain their su-
periority in the air. Though both the
French and English have expert
mentsd with the wireless telephone in
sirplane service for some years,
neither had much success.

easily understood by civilians when IL
is shown that students now can be
sent into the air alone and be directed

sending instructors with students
caused many accidents and also kept

the schools as will be necessary with
the new invention.
