TREVES. Germany. December 1 (de-
layed).-Little wooden shoes ratified
over the rough cobblestones of Treves
like stage cavalry in the best melodrama
when our automobile entered this an
Gent Prussian city. "Amerikaner"
screamed hundreds of children scurry
ing into the streets at the first chance
to see these strange soldiers. of whom
they had heard their parents talk in
awet. tones. The clatter of their wood
en-soled shoes drowned out even the
noise of the entering bands. for each
regiment marched in gayly. with colors
flying and bands playing.
The people of Treves were going to
church when the Stars and Stripes
reached the center of this ancient city.
The famous cathedral. the oldest in
Germany. and former palace of En-
press Helene, never had better attend
ed services than today, for day had
arrived which no Prussian had ever
expected. and the American flag was
flying over Prussian soil. When this
unbelievable thing became a fact the
citizens sought solace in religion.
