The celebration OF the Joyous Faster

AMERICAN FORCES ENTER
BRlEY IN IRON FIELDS

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OF
OCCUPATION, Nov, 49,. (By the AS
ISOLATED Press American troops en-
tered Briey, the heart Of Lothringian
iron fields at II o'clock yesterday
morning, There were arches across
the main street, and the town was be
decked with flags, Fifteen hundred
civilians greeted the troops.
After a welcome by the Briey Of
%flCials, the 3Sth infantry band of the
Third division, gave n concert; then
the Americans lunched frIm rolling
kitchens, a large number Of released
Russians also being fed.
Outwardly Briey showed few indica e.
tons Of the war, the buildings being
intact, but there were German signs
everywhere, pointing in the direction
OF ammunition dumps, and the various
headquarters.
The Germans are withdrawing as
rapidly as possible, In the towns now
occupied by the Americans, great storas
including machine guns. cannon and
ammunition have been found. At Tell
anCourt there is a big airdrome, but
most Of the planes left were in a dam
aged condition, some of them appar-
emily Intentionally SC. The hood of one
machine had been pierced by a dozen
pistol shots, probably in an endeayor
to injure the engine.
Business at Virton. northeast of
Montmedy, was proceeding steadily an
hour after the Americans entered, and
restaurants afforded a great surprise
by serving food to the hungry ''deliv-
erers," Meat was scarce, but there
was some, and sugar was plentiful.
Coffee and tobacco we're brought forth
in abundance.
1t was Americas day in Belgium. The
residents had decorated their shops and
homes with thousands OF flags of the
allies, almost all OF which seemed to
have been made from scraps of silk and
other material, which lay hidden for
months awaiting the great day. The
civilian guards also appeared in brand
new uniforms, which they had been

extent of front held by us, right down
to the Swiss frontier, with Mayencei
Strassburg and Neu Breisach as the
main fortresses to be occupied. But IT
is well to recognize the distinction that
the armistice makes between Alsace-
Lorraine and other German territory.
The former is treated as in the same
category as the districts of france and
Belgium occupied in the present war.
Cologne for the British, Coblenz for
the Americans, Mayence for the French
this would seem TO be the present
arrangement, which takes account OF
the front held by the respective armies
when the armistice was signed and
gives to each an easy and independent
line of communication, from its old
front to the new. Our line will be the
trunk railway coming south by the
valley OF the Moselle and entering
France at Longwy, The British will
use the main Paris-Liege-Berlin rail-
way for that portion Of its course which
lies between Maubeuge and Cologne,
The French will use the Metz-Kaiser-
lautern- Mayence line and the various
| subsidiary railways between that road
and the Rhine. There is perhaps no
odder circumstance in history than that
which will be supplied when Coblenz
and Biugen have American governors
and American garrisons. ~.
