The triumphant march to the Rhine
by the armies of the allies has been
going on steadily all week. At last
these brave troops move forward real
ly with bands playing and banners
flying" and as they pass through the
cities. towns and hamlets of northern
France and Belgium the people of
those places, released from years of
barbarous slavery to the Huns, give
them hysterical welcome. From holes
where they had been hidden since the
summer of 1914 their national flags
are brought forth to decorate the
buildings and streets and the ruins
left by the invaders, and everywhere
homemade 5. ecimens of the Stars ana
Stripes fly with the other banners.
The wild JOY of the inhabitants Is
pathetic in the extreme, and especial
ly in Alsace and Lorraine, which is
occupied by the Third American army
together with the French under Cen
eral Mangin. Those "lost provinces"
now regained, have ever remained
loyal at heart to France and they wei
coined the Poilus and the doughboys
with open arms.
For Lorraine the great demOnstra-
ton took place in Metz, which was
entered by Mangin's army on Tuesday.
That general was injured the day be-
fore when his horse fell, but Marshal
Petain was there and, standing before
the statue of Marshal Ney in The main
square, reviewed the troops. The In
habitants had overturned the German
statues in the city and made the place
gay with the allied flags and with
their own national costumes. Similar
scenes were witnessed in Strassburg
and other cities of Alsace. Near the
Swiss border the French troops first
reached the Rhine.
