miraPs assistants declared that in no case would these ships make their ap- pearance in the upper harbor before they had passed the presidential yacht Mayfower, with the navy's civilian chief on her bridge. It was more likely, they said, that the home com
 ing fleets progress would be timed to reach Ambrose Channel in the early hours of Thursday morning, when the vessels would steam up the bay in pa rade formation, arriving off Liberty Island between and 10 o'clock
 Vice Admiral Grant had been throughout the day in wireless com munication with Admiral Mayo, mem- bers of the formers staff stated, but the commander-in-ch had given no information as to the exact time of his expected arrival off the coast. However, messages were exchanged completing arrangements for the re- view and for the land parade of re- turning seamen and their officers.
 Owing to delay by storms of the destroyer and smaller craft in the overseas fleet, it was said, only 5000 officers and men, two-thirds of the complement of Rear Admiral Rod mans and Rear Admiral Rogers bat tleship squadron, will march in the parade.
 This will start immediately after the naval review, probably shortly af- ter noon, and on it's conclusion, shore leaves affecting in rotation every off cer and man aboard the returning yes sels, will be put into effect

 EAST OF RHINE
American Commander Makes Inspection of Troops Guard ing Bridgehead - German Crew on Train.

With the American Army of Occu- patton, Sunday, Dec. 22.-General John J. Pershing, commander-in-chief of the American forces, slept in cas- tie on the east bank of the Rhine Sat urday night as the guest of Major General Hines, corps commander with headquarters at Neuwied.
 General Pershing crossed the Rhine in an automobile at 1O:35 o'clock Sat urday night over pontoon bridge at Coblenz, after having entertained the newspaper correspondents at dinner in his private train. This morning he was joined at Neuwied by Major Gen. eral Dickman, and with Major Gener- als Hines and Dickman, visited the three divisions headquarters within the bridgehead, and other points of interest on the eastern side of the Rhine.
 Returning to Coblenz, he left by special train Sunday night for Chau-
  embourg and Verdun.
 On his way to Coblenz Saturday General Pershing was luncheon guest of Major General Muir, com mander of the fourth corps, in cas- tie on the Moselle, overlooking the town of Cochem. The castle, which is owned by major who is still in the German army, was commandeered by the fourth corps as headquarters. It stands on the summit of a great bluff rising above the Moselle and Cochem and commands a view for miles around.
 General Pershing travelled by motor visiting Wittlich, the headquarters of Major General Haan of the seventh corps at Maven, and other points of the occupied area.
 A special train made up of nine cars preceded General Pershing from 1 Treves. Within five minutes after the train arrived at Coblenz the wires of the telephone and telegraph instru- ments on board were connected with the signal corps wires. During the afternoon aides and other officers of the commanders personnel talked with Chaumont and Paris over the signal corps wires regarding army affairs.
 From Treves to Coblenz and on the return trip the train consisted of French built cars, drawn by a German locomotive. The train was in charge of German crew.
