RELATIVES MAY
NOT MEET TROOP
SHIPS AT DOCKS

New York, Nov. 29.-Relatives and
friends of the first American troops
now returning from England will not
be permitted to meet the transports
when they reach Hoboken, according
to statement made by Brig. Gen
G. H. McManus, embarkation officer
at the port of New York, at a confer
ence here today with newspaper men
He did not state whether this policy
would apply to other troops return
ing later to America.
While accredited newspaper men
may board the ships, he said that the
public would not be allowed on the
piers, first because of the congestion
that would result, and second because
of desire to safeguard public health
by making possible physical exam
ination of the soldiers before they
were welcomed by their relatives, in
order to make sure they had contract
ed no illness on theNoyage.
The first contingents to return,
comprising chiefly men in the air ser
vice, will proceed directly from the
docks, to the camps at which they
will be examined and discharged, ac-
cording to Brigadier General Nc
Manus.

: st. Louis, Mo.-Resolutions passed

ton" 1t is said that fifteen janitors

order came from Director of Public
Safety Jas. N. McKelvey under whose
supervision the janitors work. 1t ap-
pears to be substantially the same as
the one put into effect by him soon
after the Republican city victory in
the Spring of 1917 After much loss
of time that year. a special appropri-
alton by the Board of Aldermen re-
lieyed the situation. The matter has
been freely discussed among political
workers this week
1t is considered strange that short
age in appropriation should persist in
coming soon after election, in the only
department where Colored men are
employed in large numbers. 1t is
also said that McKelvey has just
placed a new man. from his ward, on
the januitor's pay roll.

Germans Abandon kraut
In Their Haste

With the American Army of Occu-
pation.-(by Courier to Nancy, by the
Associated Press. s.)-'Liberty cabbage
made in Germany and there still
known as sauerkraut, has been served
at many American army messes dur,
ing the week, five carloads of the
tasty edible having been left behind
by the withdrawing German army.
The Americans on entering Arlon, Bel
GUM, last week, found a well stocked
supply depot which the Germans had
left intact owing to the confusion of
the retirement and lack of transporta-
tion. The five freight cars were load
ed with barrels of the picked cab
bage, each barrel weighing 300 lbs. 1t
is now being distributed among the
messes of the various divisions.
In addition to the liberty cabbage
the Americans also took possession of
several carloads of potatoes, many
tons of turnips and other perishables.

GENERAL FOCH
REFUSES TO DRAW
THE COLOR LINE

Paris, France.-The story is told
how certain southern influence at
tempting to get Marshal Foch entan-
gled in the web of race prejudice,
seeking to segregate Colored officers
and soldiers in France, received from
the great field marshal the following:
Gentlemen: When General Per-
shing came to France he found a
black man at the head Of the French
army. France has no color prejudice
and persecutes no man on account of
color or creed"
General Dodds, to whom Marshal
Foch referred, was stationed in Co
chin, China, for many years in COM
mand of the Oriental armies of
France, where his military and dip
lomatic skill were SO great that France
named him to take charge of the
Allied armies in their march to Pekin
at the time of the Boxer insurrec-
ton.
He speaks many languages and dia-
lects and his familiarity with the
Chinese language and literature con-
tributed greatly to his pre-eminent
success.

GERMANS FAIL TO
UNDERSTAND WHY
THEY ARE HATED

Strassburg, Wednesday, Nov. 28.-
Several hundred thousand Germans in
Alsace and Lorraine have begun to
experience suffering which equals, if
it does not exceed, that which the
Germans have inflicted upon the ma
tives during the past forty-eight
years.
ut is not French rule that W..
dread" said the daughter of the first
German station master to arrive in
Lorraine after the war of 1870, at
is the native population that will not
accept US. We do not dislike them
and for my part l cannot understand
why they do not like US, after all we
have done for them in improving
their towns and bringing German cul-
ture among them"
This lack of comprehension of the
attitude of the native population in
the provinces is general among the
Germans
Only in rare cases did the Germans
get across the threshold of family in
timacy. Intermariages we're remark
ably few while the mingling of i'm
migrants and natives and social or
ganizations was unknown. German
inhabitants who affected to ignore
this social ostracism while they had
the upper hand in official life, now
feel it keenly. Some will try to face
it out but others say they will return
to Germany

Referee Gale has ordered payment of
100 per cent and interest on all claims,
and property to the amount of more than
$4,000 remains to be returned to the
so-called bankrupt.
The condition of the lumber market
and interest aceumulations were the
cause of the petition being filed. Mr..
Taft's lumber mill was operated under
order of court, much of the stock being
sold and large amount of other lum-
Der has been cut and sawed.
