Coming Of Armies Creates Pro-
found Impression Among
People; Soldiers Stop

Maence, Dec. l6.-(By Associated
Press)-Entry of Generals Fayolle
and Mangin into Maence created a
profound impression among that
part OF the population that did not
remain indoors. 1t was one OF the
most memorable ceremonies OF the
occupation.
The strong guard OF French troops
requested by the authorities OF the
city had put an end to the pillaging
Of the military stores December l..
Their conduct since that time had
won most favorable comment on the
part of the citizens and officials and
that impression was strengthened
when the men of the 10th army
marched through Mayence with the
same dignity that has characterized
he forward movement OF the French
everywhere into German territory.
The FrenChmen swung through
The old Hessian town which was
French for a score of years after oc-
cupation by the revolutionary army
with the business-like gait 50 famil-
lar in the last four and half years,
apparently unconscious that they
we're victors marching into the con-
qucred town of an adversary. The
attitude Of officers and men greatly
facilitated the task Of occupation.
The people Of Maycnce maintained
greater reserve than the inhabitants
of the other towns occupied by the
French. Many of the houses and
buildings were tightly closed, d a
large proportion of the people on
the streets were women and chill
iren.
Burgomaster Makes Speech.
After review of the troops Of
the 10th army. General Fayolle and
General Mang in wee presented to
the city and provincial authorities IN
the old Hessian grand ducal palace:
The burgomaster, the president OF
the provincial government and the
president of the Chamber of Com
nerce advised with General tayolle,
expressing the hope that the mill
tary authorities would cooperate
with them i'll maintaining order and
Keeping the economic life of the

General Fayolle. in reply, re
minded them that the war imposed
by Germany was one of the most
cruel and unjust i'll history. 1t drew
picture of the devastation in
France and Belgium and the distress
of the families without shelter, their
goods. products and manufacturing
machinery having been carried OFT
into Germany and their soil of the
desert.
The general recalled how. after re-
peated defeats since July IS, the Ger
mans had been obliged to ask for an
armistice. He assured the authori-
ties that however natural rcprlsals
might be considered, they had moth
ing TO fear from the troops OF oc-
cupation, either for their persons or
possessiqHs, so long as they realized
the situation and accepted the

WAR HELPED ZINC INDUSTRY
Remarkable impetus Given to the
Mining and Refining Of the
Mineral in Japan.

The high-water mark in the devel,
opment of zinc mining and refining in
Japan has been reached since the outs
break of the present war. Zinc was
first mined in commercial way In
1897, but even as late at 1911 the out
put was still only about 10000 tons.
The refining of the ores was not start-
ed on large scale until 1914. The
rising quotations of the metal in all
markets gave the industry great im~
petus in Japan, so that in 1915 q 900
tons of refined goods and In 1916 49,
600 tons were produced. 1t is esti-
mated that the production In 1917 to-
tailed some G5,000 tons. 1t Is said
that the refineries can produce as
high as 100000 tons year, but as
this takes some 100000 tons of zinc
ore the problem before Japan is to
obtain 100000 tons of ore in foreign
markets, as only $4,000 tons ore mined
in Japan. In the past Japan has bought
ore from China, Australia and Russia,
the greater part Of the ore, however,
coming from Australia. 1t has been
reported that Great Britain plans a re-
dncry in Australia In order to produce
zinc in that portion of her empire. If
true, this, it is said, may force Japans
to seek her raw material in some other5
market.

HERE'S ANOTHER FROG STORY
New Workers. Experience Seems to
Confederate Tale Told by the
kaiser's Press Agent.

This is the time Of the year when
fish stories are permissible, so the kali
ser's press agent cannot be blamed for
pulling that one about the frogs croak-
ing in such deafening fashion that
they enabled the Germans to bring up
their batteries without being discov-
cred by the allies. Hank Newman, who
invented the, famous snapper" elixir,
partly bears out the statement made
by the Hun war correspondent. He
knows all the habits of the Johnny
Crapauds and he declares that they can
make some noise when they begin to
croak. II don't know anything about
those bloodthirsty frogs Of the Chemin
des Danes, however" explained Mr..
Newman. "But down in Ozone Park,
where live, there is frog pond, and
hundreds of them live quiet, peace
full life. In fact, the frogs down my
way are musical, for they lull the ma
tive to sleep. There Is one big fellow
however, who has high pitched voice.
l named him Caruso because he war
bles louder than any in the flock For
some time Caruso and me We're quite
chummy. AS soon as he heard my
alarm clock go off at five in the morn
ing, he would come to my window and
sing roundelay, which indicated that
he was hungry. That was when I
had daylight work. Now Tn on nights

Caruso and his entire chorus made
