"No officer-no kaiser"
Some of the Germans were anx-
ious to air such English as they pos
sessed. One German officer attached
himself to the correspondent and
said he worked in London before the
war. He added: "I had an intima-
ton, as many of us had, that we
should be wanted in the summer of
1914, so I went back to Germany a
month or two before war was de-
clared. I was not in the submarine
service at first but volunteered for
it, and had a fair share of luck. You
British say it was not fair fighting
but we Germans believe that the
end justifes the means. Then you
complain that we shoot your men
while they are in the water. Why
not? The men might be saved and
fight US another day. We should be
fools to let them"
The crew of one submarine, with
he exception of an officer, were all
intoxicated.

as an effective military force the
American army remains intact, the
homeward movement has already be,

been stopped and contracts and de
liveries Cancelled where possible and
the men whose services have been in

their embarkation are under way.
The first to go will be the sick and
convalescent wounded. These will be
sent home with the greatest possible
expedition. Certain divisions, ex.
hausted by replacement drafts until
only the skeletons remain, are also
going home.
One of the biggest Of the present
problems is the land transport to the
seaports. With the coming of winter
the French need almost the entire
capacity of their railroads to distri-
butte fuel, food and other supplies
throughout the country. This will
delay the transportation Of Ameri.

realized that the decision on most of
these problems rests with Washing

I CAN.

I can is worker,
All, he is no shirker,
He does his best,
And is always blessed.
No work is too hard to be done
He does his part as if it were fun,
The future alone will tell
That for him all is well.
Der the little things he will not
ponder,
And we often wonder,
How his mind works at ease,
But he accomplishes by degrees,
In all the world he will do his part,
Realizing the part that all must
start.
Day by day he goes along,
S inging CHEEKY song,
The world is so bright,
If we look at it right,
And each do his best
To prove a test
That he will succeed,
Has all been agreed,
And his work will be
As the fruits of Liberty.

Grand Duchess Reviews Troops With
General-Find Germans Cine.
Luxembourg, Thursday, Nov. 21.-
With General Pershing, the Ameri-
can commander in chief, at her side,
the youthful grand duchess of Lux
emburg from the balcony of her pal
ace watched the American troops
march into her capital today.
Twenty-four hours before the
grand duchess had seen the long col
umns of gray clad German soldiers
depart for their own country after
the occupation of her duchy for
more than four years.
The American army Of occupation
| tonight controls every road, city and
village in Luxembourg. The Belgians
were more demonstrative in some
cases upon the arrival Of allied for
ces, but it was impossible to doubt
the sincerity of the welcome given
by the residents of Luxemburg.
The grand duchess and. the men,
bers of her cabinet expressed graft
fication that Americans had come to
take the place Of those whom they
had been forced to tolerate for so
! many years. Popular approval was
expressed in the great demonstration
when the people sighted General
Pershing and again when the dusty
column of American soldiers moved
through the streets.
Prior to the entry Of the troops,
General Pershing in a proclamation
assured the public that the Ameri-
can army would remain only as long
as was necessary and while it was in
Luxembourg would conduct itself in
conformity with the civil law. TIE
proclamation was distributed among
the troops as we'll as among the pop
ulation. The grand duchess had taken
UP her temporary residence in the
grand ducal palace in Luxembourg. in
order to be present when her capital
was occupied by friendly forces. It
was there that Brig. Gen. Frank
Parker called to assure her of the
attitude of the advancing forces.
Thegrand duchess is a slightly
built little woman and, attired in a
simple silk dress, she appeared even
younger than her % years. She lis
tened to General Parker carefully
and assured him she had no doubt of
the honest and helpful intentions Of
the Americans. She repeatedly ex-
pressed her gratitude. Afterwards
she received Lieutenant Colonel
Quickmeyer, Captain Ballihaft and
Lieutenant Seaton of General PERISH
ing's staff.
1t was explained to the grand
duchess that the greater portion of
the American forces would march
around the city. and only a smallpart
would enter. She expressed her de-
light with the plans and said she
would. be very glad to meet General
Pershing.
General Pershing entered the city
of Luxemburg this afternoon ahead
If his troops. The American COM
mander in chief and his staff drove
into the capital in automobiles. The
general was greeted by thousands of
cheering Luxemburgers and with
the blowing of sirens and the ringing
of church and school bells.
