OUR SOLDIER BOYS
ON GERMAN SOIL
Am ERlCAN SOLDIERS ARE PA
TROLLING SCORES OF
VILLAGES.
Four Douehboys Dispense Mob Which
Wrecked % Shops in Esch-Lux-
emburgers Angry Because DE
Iiverers" Overcharged.

American troops crossed the frontier
into Prussia Sunday behind the Ger
man erarguards. Treves is the most
important city thus far occupied.
American troops also are patrolling
scores of villages, however.
General Pershing is in the immedi-
ate vicinity to observe the operations.
His advanced headquarters will be es-
tablished at Treyes, where General
Preston Brown will be the military
governor and General Harry A. Smith
in charge of civil affairs.
The advance averaged II miles.
Treves is situated on the right
bank of the Moselle river 81 miles
southwest of Coblenz. 1t is perhaps
the oldest town in Germany, and is
rich in Roman relics. The population
at the outbreak of the war was about
GO, 900.
Four Yanks Dispense Mob.
Four American soldiers dispersed a
mob of thousands at Esch after it had
wrecked % shops in revenge for the
overcharging of Americans Most of
these establishments were conducted
by Germans. The loss is estimated at
between 100000 and 100000 francs.
The trouble began when a soldier
was charged two francs for a cake of
chocolate, and the same amount for
/ an apple. The Luxemburgers, who
long have protested against high
prices, resented the -overcharging OF
their "deliverers."
They entered the shop, destroying
its contents.

PEACE CONFERENCE
DELEGATES NAMED
PRESIDENT WILSON,, LANSING,
BLISS. WHITE AND HOUSE
ARE TO GO.
H. WHITE, ONLY REPUBLICAN
President Left Next Day After Ad-
dressing congress-Premiers of

pected to Attend.

Washington - The representatives
of the United States at the peace con-
ferences will be:
President Wilson.
Robert Lansing, secretary of state
Henry White, former ambassador
to France and Italy.
E. M. House.
General Tasker II. Bliss, represent
alive of the American army with the
supreme war council at Versailles.
Have AmbassadoriaI Rank.
This announcement was made at the
White House. In the absence of any
official explanation it was assumed
that the president goes as president
of the United States and that Secre-
tary Lansing, Mr. White and Colonel
House, and possibly also General Bliss
will be delegates with ambassadorial
rank
It was recalled that the presidents
announcement that he would go to
France "for the purpose of taking
part in the discussion and settlement
of the main features of the treaty of
peace" said that it was not likely
that he could remain throughout the
sessions of the peace conference and
that he would be accompanied by
delegates who will sit as the repre-
sentatives of the United States
throughout the conference.
The premiers of Great Britain
France and Italy are expected to at
tend the peace conference as repre-
sentatives of their governments, but.
like the president, may not remain
throughout the conferences. The
general understanding here is that
present plans are to have the confer
ence first to agree to the broad prin-
ciples of the treaty and leave the
working out of details to further sit
tings. This would enable the presi-
dent and the entente premiers speed
lily to return to the capitals of their
respective countries.
