advancing with machlne-like pre-
cision, completed the second lap OF
it's march toward the Rhine last
night, II halted on q general line ilf-
teen kilometrcS (more than nine miles)
ahead OF the positions occupied the
preceding night.
So far as can be observed. the Ger
mans are carrying out the terms OF
the nrmistioe in good faith. They
have surrendered millions OF dollars
worth of materials, guns and am
munition At several places they
turned over huge ammunition dumps
intact. At Bouligny. several hun
dred carloads OF lumber, cement and
steel rails and 22 guns fell into the
hands of the Americans.
At Longwy. hundreds of cars.
scores OF locomotives, $500 machine
guns, thousands of rifles and various
other materials were surrendered. AZ
many other points there were similar
scenes.
Most Of the towns are unchanged
or only slightly so. The German With

Americans, only a few enemy Off
