'OnlteO PreSS DlSpatcn.I
Client, Belgium, Nov. 20. = The
last stragglers of the German
forces are passing out of Brussels.
1t Is sad cavalcade of sullen, de-
pressed men filing out along the
road, heading for Louvain and
liege. Brussels is calm. The pop
uIation is refraining from any
manifestation beyond disdain-
fully shouting to the departing
soldiers, "To Berlin" The SOL
diers do not respond, merely smiI-
Ing sadly.
With the American Army of Occu-
patton, Nov 20. = Major General Jo-
seph T. Nckman's army is well into
Belgium and within a few hours
march of the German frontier.
Halted for Short Time.
The line was unchanged. In &C.
cordance with the plan the march has
been halted for a short time, in order
that the heavier artillery, supply serv
ice and other elements may be brought
up.
However, General Dickman's head
quarters were moved on to Ionguyon
and corps and division commanders
made similar advances.
AS the Germans withdraw the con-
centration of the arnly OF occupation
is increased and not for moment has
vigilance been relaxed. All possible
tactical advantage is carefully taken
and the forces are so deployed that
the peaceful march might easily be
coprerted into a hostile operation.
See No Sign of Treachery.
The second day of the advance
served to confirm the belief at the
American headquarters, however, that
there was no thought of treachery in
the minds of the German general staff
and that the terms of the armistice
will be faithfully carried out.
There have been a few isolated
cases where surrendered materials
have been damaged, but it is not
thought such damage was wrought un-
der orders of German commanders.
The surrender of damaged airplanes
garded as case where individual
aviators determined to put their ma.
chimes out of commission rather than
have them fall into the hands of an
enemy, much as cavalryman would
shoot a favorite horse.
Enormous stores of ammunition and
many guns left at Longuyon were lit
tie impaired and the machine shops
there were not damaged.
Yards at Montmedy Filled.
The railway yards at Montmedy and
other places along the line that served
the Germans as one of their main ar.
teries of communication during their
last stand against the Allied advance
were filled with locomotives and cars
ready for use, while great quantities
of general stores not mentioned in the
terms of the armistice had been aban-
doned to the Allies.
Harwich, November 20-Twenty
German submarines surrendered to
Rear Admiral Trywitt of the British
navy, thirty miles off Harwich at
sunrise this morning. Admiral Try
whit was on board the cruiser flag
ship at the time the surrender was
made.
Twenty more submarines will sur
render tomorrow and twenty on Fri
day. Following their surrender this
morning the U-boats proceeded to
Harwich with their own crews. Here
the submersibles will be turned over
to the British and the members of
the crews returned to Germany on a
Teuton transport.
Washington, November 20-General
Pershing's communique said that on
the front of the Third army yesterday
passed without incident The troops
occupied the general line of st. Leg
er, Longwy, Audun, Leroman and
Briey.
