CROSS The Line
French Army Over the From

Sees Very Little Change in the
People There.

With the French Army in Ger
many, Dec. 4.-The tenth French
army on its way to the Rhine and
Mayence has crossed the German
OF the Sarre. The, advance into Ger
man territory is without incident and
appears likely to be carried out in
perfect order and quiet. The popu-
lation in the districts thus far reached,
appeared more astonished than down
cast. and those that come into direct
contact with the French officers and
men show more politeness than dis
pleasure. The imperial functionaries
still in charge receive the French
military authorities with GOODNESS but
without rudeness.
Town and country life is proceed
ing to all appearances undisturbed by
the momentouS historical incident.

lively. In towns like Sarrelouis and

with shoppers with an extraordinary
number of Americans among them

Christmas toys and gifts are displayed.
Most OF the men and women do not
notice the French uniforms, while
some give the troops a sullen glance,
and others gaze in staring wonder at
the columns and their wagon trains,
as IT the reality of the situation had
not yet dawned upon them.
The children are cordial in greeting
the French soldiers, using the bon

tag. Nearly all of them have learned

done by hand drawn carts.
Nearly all the children I saw wore
homemade clothing of a makeshift
character. Many wore wooden shoes.
The shop windows are scantily
stocked, where little food and cloth
ing are on display.
The windows of some of the cloth
ing shops contained only three or four
suits of shoddy material, the prices of
which are equivalent to from fifty to
seventy dollars.
AS a rule the people are very poor
ly clad altho the wealthy class shows
no signs of privation, the rich men
going about in overcoats with fur col
lars and wearing fine shoes.

FALSE RUMORS

paganda.
PEACE BRIDE TO BERLIN
Thousand Asses Loaded With Pure
Gold Reported to Be Sent-Wild
Tale of Fight Between Two
KiItie Regiments.

London.-The most deadly form OF
today is the mouth to mouth rumor.
Wherever one goes, in clubs or restau-
rants, at the theater or in the railway
car, ones peace of mind will be ire
trievably shattered by some kindly in
tentiOned stranger.
The keep Of the London Tower has
been overcrowded with riddled corpses
to a positively unsanitary degree. Now
1t will be an airman of worldwide re-
nown. The next day an ex-lord chan
cellor of the realm will toe the line fol-
lowing him. King George will have his
Germanic extraction flung in his teeth,
and an ex-prime minister receive the
welcome news that he has sold the
country to save his financial interests
in the enemy's country. Your true
propagandist is no respector Of per-
sons.
Of Eastern Origin.
There was one story of distinct. East
ern origin. Great Britain, ran the
humor by way of kindly neutrals, had
sent thousand asses laden with pure
effort, told with due pathos and dra-
matte effect, concerned the loss Of
large American transport, which had
been sent down by German U-boat,
with a total loss of life and material.
The rumor was common property, with.

thousands of Woolwich arsenal
workers, unable to obtain food, were
rioting furiously, and the troops had
to be called out" was the preface
to another. Inquiry showed the case
to be that Of a woman of inebriate
habits and revolutionary tendencies, a
misapprehension with a local police
constable and sympathetic crowd,
hungry and disappointed, supplied the
necessary background and climax.
Another case was that of two kiltie
regiments. The - Highlanders, hold
ing the left flank of a big advance
movement, were to have been sup
ported at 5 a. m. of a freezing winter
morning by the Black Watch. The
latter failed to put in an appearance.
The Highlanders, sadly mauled by
shrapnel and machine guns, returned
to rest billets at quarter strength and
swearing vengeance dire. On the road
the Black Watch was encountered.
Forthwith the two battalions set about
one another with their dirks and bay
onets, leaving the dead and dying by
he roadside in the hundreds. This
story to the troops individually con-
cerned proved extremely acceptable
from it's humorous element alone.
