AMERICANS IN
 POSSESSION OF
 BANKS OF RHINE
(The Associated Press)

COBLENZ. Dec. 13.-The Ameri. can army of occupation in Germany has halted at the Rhine and are now in complete possession of the left bank of the river nOrthward from Andernach to the British lines.
 It is expected that the movement across the river will be started soon as they have taken possession of the fortress Ehrenbreitstein, which is across the river from this place.
 The only act of hostility to be shown since the Americans occupied German soil was shown here when a woman threw a bottle at an Ameri- can soldier from the window of her home. The incident has been given only trivial consideration.
 The inhabitants of this section are inclined to think that they will re- ceive more consideration from the hands of the Americans than they would had this territory been oc- cupied by either the French or Brit ish troops. There still remains some hostile feeling on the part of the in habitants, who are not showing deep respect to the Americans.
