Here and thoro some small children

with their friendlincss Of childhood for al
men on horses, as the British cavalry
rode into this city, and they were no,
rebuked. German schoolboys in peaked
caps with their hands thrust in their
pockets, stared without frlendliness or
unfriendlncss. Some girls on hill

and waved their handkcrchiefs. There

! JOY that the fighting was over.
At Malmedy there was no sign what
ever of hostility except tho sullen look
on tho faces of some men who stared
through the windows of a clubhouse
and the gravity of other men who turned
their heads away when the cavalry
passed. as though unaware Of them. In
many windows was notice in Ger
man which read. 1t was an appeal
by Rurgomaster Kapers, reading:
Citizens arc earnestly requested to
maintain calm and order on the entry
of the Entente troops into our city and
TO receive them with courtesy and dig
nifty"
That wish was being carried out and
II was with politeness as well as dig
nifty that the strangers we're greeted in
this first German town across the IRON
tier
There was no look Of hunger on the
faces of these people, and one young man
told me they had good food and enough.
1t is in tho big towns OF Germany, he
said, that the people arc hungry.
Later in the day l went to another
town in Germany near tho Belgian
frontier. 1t was Eupen, and here At
once one saw "A different character from
looms here, but purely German people,
who spoke no French. They, too, were
polite and maintained a quiet dignity,
but did not express any interest what
ever in the appearance of the British
troops.
An innlteeper told me in German that
some or tho British cavalry and artillery
had passed through before I came. When
l asked about tho food supplies in Eupen
he said, They arc short, and We have
little to eat"
lie was gloomy man, and the
tragedy Of his country Tee,ned TO weigh
upon him.
Woman Guided Prisoners
III the street young German woman
was acting as guide and friend to a
party OF Italian prisoners. She spoke
their language, but not Il word Of French
or English, it seemed, when she asked
mo how to get them over the frontier.
Tho only familiarity with the enemy,
which is strictly discouraged beyond Or
dinaTy COurtesies, was produced by n
swarm Of small boys. who, with the
spirit Of eternal childhood which knows
no enemy or race, clambered onto my
car. sounded its horn, and explored its
mysteries. They all wore sailor caps
with tho names of German ships and
submarines and generals. There was
one little thug Of Il Hndenburg who
puffed out his cheeks at me, and the
name OF "EmGen" was en- one boys cap,
and on another "Unterseeboot" or Sub
marine" \ German tram driver grinned
as lr pussed, but elsewhere in Eupcn
there was the sense of being an unwel-
come visitor and most people kept in
doors.
So the British troops entered this new
phase in the history Of the war, and
henceforth there will be no flags on
their way and no cheering crowds, and
at best only hofllchl1eit and wurde, that
courtesy and dignity which we expect.

Passing Of The
Dollar Weekly

Editorial in the Cleveland
Plain Dealer
The dollar weekly will soon
be an institution of the past.
One after another those rural pu.
blications are being forced to
raise their subscription rates
in order to meet their increasing
costs. The stupendous height
which print paper has reached
is the dominating element in the
problem. but is only one in many
ways in which the newspaper
publisher feds the cost of his
product increased beyond an est.
imates.
1t is claimed that more than
$50 American weeklies have been
forced to suspend publication on
ccount CT the increasing costs
For the greater number, however
the other alternative will the one
adopted that is raising the SUBJ
scription price above the time
honored flat dollar per year.
The dollar was a convenient
unit for dealing between publish
er and patron and. when for
that sum one was able to secure
81 issues Of an alert publication
it was a dollar proftably spent
Some of the most constructive
journalistic work of the past
century was accomplished thru
the columns of the dollor weekly
Some of the patron saints of the
newspaper profession accomp-
lished their most lasting results
by means of it. and the ANIMALS
of newspaperdom would lose
much of their interest and charm
had the dollar weekly not thrived
so long,
But no product helps itself in
the long run by operating at a
loss, II it costs more than a
dollar to publish the modern
weekly. the quicker the situation
is understood on both sides the
better. No one can properly
protest when the price is in
creased and good value given.
The dollar weekly has had an
honorable history and the country
owes it more than it knows. No
apology is needed if the price
that sufficed half a century ago
is now found inadequate.
