1t is persistently rumored here that
the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. will
discontinue running the boats OF the

With The French Army, Sept. 20
Efforts to organize pillaging by the
German Army and the transportation

and verified Incidents, to have been
much more effective than the work OF

The sacking Of private houses and

from which the Germans have been
driven has been done with characteristic
German thoroughneSs by specially de-
tailed squads Advancing French armies

document TO apply TO the use OF their
units proportionate quantity OF booty
suitable for immediate consumption and
TO send the rest to the rear
Privat letters written by prisoners
give additional evidence OF the extreme
limits to which looting is practlced. A
striking example of the work Is found
at the Vaubuin Hospital, near scissors,
which was established and managed by
