Dec. 9-(By the Associated Press .
A battalion of the Thirty-ninth
Infantry left Treves by train today

The premature occupation Of Co

would be any trouble at Coblenz
and the burgomaster's appeal to
send troops were denied until 1t
was supplemented in writing by
the retiring military commanders.

Anticipating the cold weather, which
will soon be due In Belgium and
France, the American Red Cross will
make another drive for clothing to be
sent to the destitute and helpless Bel
gians and the French. 1t would be
worse than Indifference, it would be
I:eartless, to hoard any clothing that
can be spared to the population, of the
occupied territory In these countries.
The American Red Cross News Serv-
ice in Washington, ID. c. has wired the
following appeal:
give thousand tons of clothing for
the destitute people of occupied Bel
GUM and France!
This Is the objective of drive to
be conducted by the American Red
Cross ut the request Of Herbert G.
Hoover, chairman of the Belgian Re-
lief commission, during the week be-
ginning Monday, September %. The
clothing drive of the Red Cross last
March brought in 5000 tons of gar
Ments and it is estimated that at
least as much more will be required
to clOthe the 100000 people in the
occupied territory during the coming
winter.
AS in the previous campaign the
clothing will be collected by the chap
tiers Of the Red Cross throughout the
United States. each chapter getting it's
