Americans Take Over 4,500

With the Americans Across the
Rhine, Dec. 1S.-The Third army now

ing more than 4,5OO square miles. 1t
is supervising the administration Of
several hundred villages and operating
hundreds of miles of railroads and
street car lines.
The methCdical taking over Of this
tremendous responsibility, with the
multitudinous needs of hundreds of
thousands Of hostile people viii be al
most entirely accomplished within Is
days.
There is not a precedent in history
for this occupation, which is also re-
markable in that it was finished with
out a single serious hostile demonstra-
ton by either inhabitants or troops.
An army of 250O0O men marched
between 200 and 800 miles within
month, starting almost Immediately
after weeks OF the hardest kind of
fighting. In the last six weeks men
and officers have undergone probably
the most severe physical test that any
American army has ever experienced.
Yet as they reached the Rhine after
weariSOme and muddy marches, they
presented a magnificent appearance,
despite their worn and mud-spttered
uniforms. Many of the men were
wearing the same uniforms they had
in their last fighting. The shoes of
some were torn and worn out, but they
limped along, refusing to fall out and
insisting they would hang on and fin
fSh the march.
Every phase of the occupation was
completed in exact accordance with
plans laid out the week before the
march began. Even the Germans ad-
nit they were surprised by the smooth
ness and directness of the method Of
occupation.

Senate Hears Demand for a FL

Senator Simmons, Chairman Of the Fl.

Washington, Dec. 18. - Germany
should be compelled to pay, so far as
possible, the cost of the war to the
United States, Senator Simmons Of
North Carolina, chairman Of the
finance committee declared on the
floor Of the senate.
In the opinion Of the senator the
American bill Of costs presented to Ger

duct Of the war, reimbursement for
which, II only In part. would 60 far

Of taxation borne by the American
people.
While Senator Penrose, in an ad-

ing estimated expenditures for 1919
and 1920, Senator Simmons interrupt
ed to suggest that while the govern
ment, among other things, would have
heavy damages to pay for war con-
tracts, still there would be consid-
erable salvage on work already done
that would bring In an appreciable re-
turn.
Besides that, Senator Simmons said,
there was to be recioned $1O,OOO,09O,-
600 of money advanced to the allies,
which would make "the best possible
security and be an asset to this gov
eminent" Those bonds are market
able, Senator Simmons said, and could
be utilized toward relieving the peo-
pie, Of taxation.
"More than that, want to say that
I don't believe the people of this
country will consent 10 the central
powers escaping without properly re-
imbursing this country for the great
losses that have been inflicted upon it
by the methods they have pursued In
