CROSS The Rhine
Won der MarwitZ's Fifth Army
Over Today.
Germans Moving in Great
Masses to Home.

With the American Army of Occu-
patton. Nov. 29.-General Won Der
Warwitz's Fifth army will begin cross
ing the Rhine today. The crossing
will require eight or nine days. ac-
cording to reports reaching here. The
movement is being carried out by
three columns at points distant from
each other. According to the German
plan 100000 men will be quartered
daily at Frankfort, but accommoda-
tions for but 10000 daily have been
prepared.
Congestion at Treves is reported.
resulting in units proceeding on foot
toward Coblenz. 1t was originally
planned to move the troops toward
Germany by rail. At other points it
is said that the roads are unable to
handle the extraordinary traffic and
that thousands of troops are march
ing eastward after waiting days for
trains. Apparently the Germans are
endeavoring to withdraw as rapidly as
possible.
Copies of a proclamation by Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg urging Ger
man soldiers and civilians to receive
allied troops with resignation and
courtesy have appeared in villages op-
posite the American lines. The pro-
clamation says this is the best policy,
in view of the fact that Germany is no
longer able to make resistance against
the allies
