their first nights sleep in Germany,
the American troops Of the army of
occupation were ready at dawn this
/ morning to resume their march to-
, ward the Rhine.
In advancing toward Conblenz the
| Americans are moving ahead astride

Across the Rhine the American
army will take up line a little over
sixty miles in length. 1t will describe
an arc of a circle, having Coblenz
as a center and with a radius
eighteen and siX-tenths miles in
length. This circle pivoting upon
Coblenz is the bridgehead. which the
Germans conceded in the armistice.
The line leaves the Rhine at a point
northwest of Coblenz, swings east
ward to Rahms and Oberlahr and
turns to the south just beyond Ross
bach. 1t turns through Woelferlin-
gen, Molsberg, Diez. Schonbron,
katZencl, Bogen and Welteroth. and
| reaches the Rhine again at Caub.
Along the Rhine the Americans will
occupy 4 line about As miles in
length. The front will extend few
miles beyond either end of the SEMI
circle described above. thus over
tapping in places the lines of the
British. on the left. and the French

| During the advance toward Coblenz
the American lines extend about q
miles on each side of the Moselle
The Americans expect to travel from
seven to nine miles each marshing
! day with day or two of rest at in
tervals. The rest days will be decid-
ed upon by the commanders as the
advance continues. Much will depend
on how the men and animals stand
the trip and the way the supply serv-
! ice keeps up with the troops.

sisting that Germany would continue
the war rather than accept q humil-

newspapers received here show that
even members of the Socialist party
viewed the sacrifice of national inter-
ests as impossible.
War Minister Scheuch stated in the
Reichstag on October "a that the
German army had not been beaten
and that the Homeland" had not
collapsed. Forces which would per-
nit successful resistance We're to
be found everywhere. he said. He
added that the most urgent need OF
the hour was to stimulate those
forces. He admitted that German
tanks had not been successful until
American made machines with cater
pillar treads solved the problems in
volved.
During the same sitting Of the
Reichstag. Deputy Gustav Noske,
Socialist, said:
The Germans people do not de-
spair, nor do they collapse. The
German people need not be ashamed
of the outcome of the war, but they
will require an accounting. We de-
mand, above all enlightenment re-
garding the Bernstorff- Wilson nego-
tiations. The secretary of the navy
