FORCES, November 10

the day passed without incident, our

WITH THE AMERICAN -aRMY OF
OCCUPATION. November 10 (by the
Associated Press).-With the excep-
ton of a few laggard units, the last
of Germany's armies disappeared to-
day behind their own frontier. From
the villages located in the narrow
strip of unoccupied territory between
the American and German forces
came reports during the day that the
stragg,ers last night and early this
morning had engaged in looting.
Appeals were received from the ta
habitantS that the advancing Ameri-
cans hasten to their relief. Investi
cation proved. however, that the viii
layers were more excited than in
jured and that most of the damage
being done by the little groups of
Germans was to the Germans own
stores Oh 1OOQ ana ClOInlnS.
Huns Take Medical Supplies.
Other appeals were found to have
more foundation. Those from the
mayors of Halanzy and other neigh
of wounded and sick in greater
numbers than the local physicians
could attend, and to these points medi-
cal officers and supplies were sent,
after notification to the Germans of
the Americans plan. When the Ger
mans evacuated these towns they took
with them not only the medical and
nursing staffs. but also the hospital
supplies. abandoning the sick and
wounded to the mercies of the towns
people and the army of occupation.
Such was found to be the case in
the hospital at Longwy. where was
located the 32d Division headquarters.
Six wounded Americans were found
there, three of them officers. Two
We're aviators reported missing in Oc-
attacked by six Fokkers, and forced
to land within the enemy lines.
The Germans had taken all their
own men from the hospital, leaving.
only prisoners of war. The stories of
the American and other wounded
agreed that they had been accorded
poor treatment. The nurses and doc
tors, they declared. had been indiffer-
ent in their attention, and the food
provided was no better than that

Committee in Charge.
The care of the sick and wounded
in this hospital was shared by a local
committee, headed by Mne Rotne,
president of the Franco-Beigian re,
lief, and including five French nurses
and many women of the place. They
undertook the more ordinary tasks in
the hospital routine. The local physi-
places, offered their services.
Repatriated soldiers and civilians
continued to march back to the lines
today. The Russians offered the
greatest problem. There are. thou
sands of them, many of whom have
contracted Spanish influenza. They
are being sent to the hospitals in the
back areas as quickly as possible. -
Reports brought by the repatriated
population and by agents of the army
agree that the German command is
having difficulty in maintaining an
the German army is already beyond
the city of Luxembourg. where the pop
ulation is preparing to receive the
Americans. The people have even

Valuable Stores Are Found.
An inventory shows that the guns.
ammunition and general stores found
by the Americans attained much
greater proportions today than pre-
viously. One dump of signal corps
supplies is estimated to be valued at
no less than $2.00O,O0
An enormous warehouse taken at
Longwy was filed with general sup
plies. among which were several big
double-engined airplanes in good con-
dition.
