American Army of Occupation,
Dec. 3.--Arter their first nights sleep
in Germany, the American troops
were ready at dawn to resume their
march toward The Rhine. IN I'D
vancing toward Cohlenz, the Amer
scans are moving ahend astride the
Moseilc travelling in northeasterly
direction.
Across the Rhine. the American
army will take up line little over
sixty miles long. 1t will describe an
arc of circle having CoblenZ as a
center and with u radius eighteen
and siX-tenths miles in length. This
circle pivoting upon CoblenZ Is the
bridgehead which the Germans con-
ceded In the armistice. The line
leaves the Rhine at point north
west of Coblenz, swings eastward
through Rahms and Oberlahr and
turns to the south just beyond Ross
bach. 1t continues h,ough Woelfer-
lingen, Molsberg, ID DeZ, Chonbron.
Katzenelbogen, and Welteroth, and
reaches the Rhine again at Caub.
Alcng the Rhine the Americans
will occupy u line about forty three
miles long. The front will extend
few miles beyond either end of
the semi circle described above, thus
overlapping in places the lines of
the British. on the left and the
French ,on the right.
During the advance toward Cob
lenz, the American lines extend
about twenty-one miles on each side
of the Moselle. The Americans ex-
peot to travel from seven to nine
miles each marching day with day
or two of rest at intervals.
The advance of the American
Army of Occupation into Germany
has been held up by the limited
number of bridges across the Sauer

bridges used are those at Echter-

PRESIDENT GETS
MIXED RECEPTION
[Continucd from First Page.l

Senator kept his seat during the brief
period that the demonstration of
approval was in progress.
President Wilson has addressed
Congress on many occasions, and
the manner in which his words were
received. once or twice in the more
than five years that he has been at
the head of the nation, the enthus-
iasm might not have been up to par
tisan expectations. But that was
before we entered the war; In the
war period the President has held
Congress in the hollow of his hand,
to all outward appearances. Repuh-
licans vled with Democrats In show
ing by their applause that united
Congress stood behind the Presl-
dent. Yesterday 1t was different.
The unpopularity. among n large
part of Congress, of the Presidents
European venture was manifest.
Even his supporters are admitting
that his announcement had cool
reception.
Some OF the many who were there
to listen had expected that an out
break of legislative displeasure
would come when the President fin
lshed rea1ing his address, 1t was
gossip that Senators or Represen-
tatives would exercise their privl-
lege and seek to question him in re-
gard to his overseas journey, But
nothing of the sort happened, Cos
sip had 1t also that when the Sem

and the House resumed it's separate
sitting there would be outbursts OF
criticism of the President beyond
anything in his Presidential career.
