.YANKS ARE MADE
TO FEEL At HOME
BY C0bLENz FOLK
Early Attitude of Resentment
is Giving Way to FriendIi-
ness by Germans in
Occupied City.

Coblenz. Dec. lS.-(By Associated
Press Throughout the sector held
by the Americans, the men have set
tied down to what may be weeks OF
occupation. Ems and Nassau are
two important towns which have
fallen to the French who were sent
into the American sector, but Neu-
wied, a big industrial center, and all
the other towns in the northern half
of the sector are held by the Ameri-
cans. The Americans have followed
thu policy which characterized their
first days of occupation. They have
promulgated no drastic rules to gov
ern civil life and in every way have
endeavored to make the inhabitants
feel that they will not be molested as
long as they DO not interfere with
the military duties
On the first Sunday the results Of
this policy were shown. While the
people OF Cobenz were still some
what resentfu! in their attitude, the
residents of the smaller towns
evinced none of this hostility.
Dressed in their Sunday clothes the
Germans attended church services
and appeared surprised to find
among the congreg cations i'll some
of the places few of the enlisted
men.
In the afternoon the children in
the villages made love frankly to any
of the soldiers who would permit t,
clambered over the trucks and de-
manded their turn to snuggle into
the seats on the guns i'll the artillery
parks. They were unreproved by
their parents. who smiled their toler-
ance. The older among the men
and women not only made no Oh
jections to billetings, as did many in
Coblenz and Treves, but frequently
showed desire to make the men
feel at home
Wherever bands were in action the
people crowded the street corners to
listen to the music, instead of hur-
rying to their homes, situation that
did not exist when the invasi~.. of
German territory was begun two
weeks ago.
Applications for leave of absence
are already largely on the increase,
but it is noticeable that the men are
not asking for permission to visit
distant points, but merely to make
excursions into the picturesque
Rhine regions, where almost every
valley is guarded by the ruins of a
medieval castle.

Nowadays all up-to-date women want

It's really a simple matter for any wom-
an to merit this praise since beautiful hair
Is only matter of care.
Z When your hair becomes faded. dry.
streaked and scraggly. when 1t falls out
badly and new hair cannot grow, the roots
must be vitalized and properly nourshed.
To do this quickly. safely and at little ex-
pense there is nothing so effective as Pa
r;sian sage liquid form which you can
get at Sherman & McConnells and any
drug or toilet counter.
It's guaranteed to abolish dandruff. stop
scalp itch and falling hair. and promote a
new growth or money refunded. It's in
great demand by women of taste and cul-
ture because it makes the hair so soft, lus-
trous, easy to arrange attractively and
appear much heavier than it really is.
A massage with Partisan sage is a real
deiight-easy to use, not sticky or greasy,
and delicately perfumed-an antiseptic IL

guaranteed not to color the hair or scalp.

Labor regulations, state and govern
