AMERICANS IN
 GERMANY MEET
 COOL RECEPTION

WITH AMERICAN ARMY OF OC- CUPATION, Dec. 2.-The American army of occupation, under command of Major-General J. T. Dickman, nave advanced about twelve miles on German soil, reaching the towns of Ragden and Saarholzbach, which they occupied. The city of Treves is included in the line of advance.
 No demonstration, either friendly or unfriendiy greeted the entrance of the army, calm silence on the part of the people only was noticea- ble. Even the children seemed to be schooled in the way to receive the Americans, standing by with stolid indifference as the troops entered the towns and cities.
 The governor appointed to occupy this territory has established his headquarters in the city of Treves. on the Moselle river. A sufficiently strong force will be left with him for the enforcement of order and to see that no untoward action occurs.

GERMAN TONGUE
 IN SWEDE TOWNS

LONDON. Nov. 14.-In Sweden one is disagreeably struck by the number of people who speak Ger man. When asked question ir English. a Swede, be he a policeman or . civilian, invariably countered in German. At hotels and restaurants few porters and walters understand or speak English. In book.shops English books and magazines are few. while German are largely repre- sented.
 It Is different in Norway. English Is taught at school, and nearly everybody one meets, from the DOT ter at the station to ones neighbor at the dinner table, speaks English fuently. The windows in the book shops are full of English and Am. erican publications.
 The treatment of English-speaking visitors had more of hearty hospi- tality and kindliness in Norway than in Sweden.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. -- That William Bayard Hale was Implicated with von Bernstorff in spreading German propaganda and furnishing information to the German govern ment was proved today when the chief of the secret service handed in to the senate committee the results of his investigations on the German propaganda cablegrams exchanged between the ambassador and his gov. ernment in 1916.
 One message in particular request ed that the German government show special favor to Hale during his trip abroad as he was correspondent in the Hearst service and an employee of the German embassy in the ca pacity of confidential agent. It Is well known that Hale did receive many favors from the German gov ernment during his stay in that coun- try. It is stated that the salary of Hale while serving the German gov ernment was s15,O00 yearly.
 HEARST MAKES DENIAL
 NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The New York American, a Hearst publication, makes a statement denying any knowledge of Hale's relations with Germany at the time he was sent to Berlin, nor did it even suspect any. thing out of the ordinary.
 The reason for his selection on the German mission was because of his discharge by Wilson as his special agent to Mexico and because of his previous experience in Germany

 0F EljCh VALUE

WASHINGTON, Dec 2.-The an. nual report of General Black, chief of the engineer corps, has many i'm portant recommendations for the im- provement of the country'i defense system.
 He will include among other recon mendations that heavy guns be in. stalled on railroad carriages for the rapid moving to coast points for de- fensive purposes He stated that the lesson learned in the recent war was of inestimable value and that such defensive measures as these should be incorporated in the defense sys- tenn of the United States. The les sons taught in the war would not throw any doubt against the value of properly fixed seacoast defense system, of which the proposed travel ing guns would be an important fac. tor.
 In speaking of the budget for oth. CT branches of the service he be- lieved that over half a billion would be required for the establishment of an air craft service, which would include the production also.
