as to nationality, have greeted the al
lied troops as liberators. They relate

that the food situation here is not
desperate. but Is serious enough. There
Is enough wheat, bacon and lard for
three weeks. but there is no rice, con-

famous marshal, who ordered seventy

inefficiency Of Emperor William, the
crown prince and Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg.

subsequent flight of the German en-
peror was received without elation or
enthusiasm. but the news of the uncon-
ditional acceptance of Marshal Foch's
conditions was greeted by the people
and the soldiers with relief and satisfac.

The civilian population is more bitter
toward the Germans than are the SOL
diers, who fought the enemy to a stand
still. Terms of bitter hate and execra-

the soldiers grin soberly and say 1.-The
