GERMANS P|QUED BY
SAME ORDERS THEY
FORCED ON BELGIUM

AK LA CHAT Lille,
Prussia, Friday, Dec. 6.-This large
German city is not enthusiastic over
the proposition of occupation by the
allies. The yoke of martial law SEEM
ingly has galed the people, and there
have been many signs of fretfulnesS.
The population was shocked When
the Belgians first entered the Iity and
promulgated ironclad rules that civil
ians should leave sidewalks and IN
cover when Belgian officers appeared,
and that hostages should be given up.
Their dignity was so hurt that they
protested to the international armistiCe
commission, but learned that the rules
were the same as those of the Ger
mans at the time of the occupation
of Brussels.
Belgians Modify Rules.
The Belgians never intended to
maintain these rules, and today an
other set, greatly modified, was issued.
They are still stringent, but they
eliminate the clauses compelling the
inhabitants to qui tthe sidewalks.
Tonight the Belgians are making
way for the French troops to take over
the city, and the popu1ace is anxiously
waiting to see if it fares any better
under the new regime. The new rules
provide that nobody may enter or
leave the town without passports.
They prohibit all meetings or as
selSalies and close all theaters and
moving picture shows. Cafes and res
taurants are permitted to remain open
between the hours of II a. m. and 2
p. m. and between 5 p. h. and p NJ,
Belgian time. They require also that
all arms and military material must
be surrendered. No German soldier is
permitted to appear in uniform with
out permission of the armistice com
mission. The men generally are polite
to the invaders, but it remains to the
women to send bitter glances Of hatred
in the direction of the troops of occu
patton
The hotels of AK la Chapelle are
serving excellent meals, though there
is shortage in many of the edibles
The bread is almost black and is ex-
tremely unpalatable. The big hotels
| however, are aardly criterion. in this
rich farming section of the country.
Food Said to Be Plenty.
There have been many reports thai
| food was extremely scarce in Germany
and it would require careful investi-
| cation to disprove them. A farmer
near Julich told the correspondent to-
day that the people along the bordel
had sptficient food of all sorts to keeI
| them alive, but that il was insufficient
to maintain men at hard work. Ther'
| is considerable cattle in the district
| but meat is rarely to be seen on th'
tables of the poor Loaf sugar ap.
peared in the AK hotel today for TIL
| first time in many months.
The great hotel in which the CORE
| spondent is stopping is steam heated
day and night. There also is hot wa
ter to be had at all hours and plent,
of illumination, in contrast to Paris
where one is permitted to use hot wa
ter only on Friday, Saturday and Sun
day, and where lights are CAREFUL.

FAvORS TRIPLE DEMOCRACY

ROME, Dec. S.-The Giornale D'Ital-
ia, commenting upon meeting of the al
lied premiers in London, urges that a
perfect agreement be reached between
England, France and Italy, naturally
reserving that any definite solution be
agreed to with the powerful American
nation, worthily represented at the
peace conference by her great nresi-
dent, Wilson,"
Continuing, the Giornale D'Italia adds
that an Anglo Franco Italian under
standing would be of the greatest ben
eft, not only for the three European
nations, but for the world and civiliza-
ton, as a union of the three democratic
powers of Europe would form a bond
for the maintenance of world peace.

ITO the American people:
lone year ago twenty-five million
Americans, by enrolling as members Of
the Red Cross at Christmas time, sent
to the men who were fighting our bat
ties overseas stimulating message OF
cheer and good Will They made it clear
that our people were OF their own free
choice united with their government in
the determination not only to wage war
with the instruments of destruction,
but also by every means in their power
TO repay the ravages of the invader and
sustain and renew the spirit of the ar

sented. The friends of the American
Red Cross in Italy Belgium. and France
have told, and win tell again. the story
of how the Red Cross workers restored

NEW YORK, Dec S.-A message

GRIM MEN Of
ARM|STICE IN
SESSION At SPA

SPA, Belgium, Dec. S.-Tuesday-
(By The Associated Press There is
no more interesting spot along the
German border today than this famous
town. in which the international armis-
ice commission is holding conferences
amidst a dramatic setting, which, were
it seen on fhe stage, would be recog-
niZed as a masterpiece. Here, in the
former seat of great German headquar-
terS, representatives. of the United
States, Great Britain, France and Ger
many are mceti:-s daily, with the ut
most diplomatic formalities, and deal
ing with the problems arising from the
Teutonic capitulation.
The commission began its sittings
about three weeks ago. At that time the
enemy was still occupying Spa. Since
then long lines of hurrying and disor-
ganized German traffic and troops
have sped eastward through the water
ing place. There are now something
more than a hundred German officers
and men in the place, attached to Cen
eral Won Winterfeldt, who is represent
ing the German government. These
men came to Spa in civilian clothes,
under orders of the Republican SOL
dlers and Workmens council but
donned uniforms on their arrival
Among the entente representatives are
Major General Charles D. Rhodes and
staff, for the United States: Major
General Sir Richard c. Haking and
staff for Great Britain; and General
Nudant and staff for France.
Occupy Hun Quarters
Major General Rhodes is occupving
the villa Sous Bois, which was Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg's headquar-
ters; and the American general is US
ing the same bed in which the "old man
of the lakes must have spent MANY
sleepless nights. The kaiser's head
quarters, the Nillaneu-Bois, fell to the
French. while the British are in the
cottage on hill which housed Luden-
/ dorff. The Germans are living in ho-
tells or are billeted about the town. The
/ conferences are being held in the Grand
/ Salon of the Hotel Britanique. whicn
/ was part of great headquarters. and IN
which the emperor finally resolved to
| quit Germany
| Inc German sentry at the entrance
OF the hotel clicks his heels sharply as
the delegates enter or other officers
pass. The Sittings begin at 10 O'Clock
daily Prior to that hour the German
delegates take their places at a huge
table and receive the allied officers
standing. The latter walk silently to
their chairs, where each delegate bows
profoundly to the man oppos;.s before
sitting down
There is no word of greeting and nc
pleasantries exchanged. and the bust
ness of the day is conducted through
out with the same grim precision. Just
what problems are under consideration
OF course, is not a matter for jounalis-
tics discussion, but things are reported
to be running smoothly
