hand in the first year of the war, it
was there that 100 civilians were
executed.
When the Americans began pour
into Virton, the largest Of the reoc-
cupied towns, the inhabitants had
nothing too good for them. Flags OF
the allied nations flew from almost
every house front, side by side, with
the Belgian NcoIors, while women, es-
pecially the younger ones, appeared
in their Sunday f1nery.
Women Are DemoDstrattve.
Women and children gathered
about the men In khaki regardless OF
rank, the enlisted men receiving al
most as much attention as he who
wore the insignia OF rank. Old woTn-
EN- cried while they smiled, and chok-
ed over expressions of greetings and
thanks. Aged men spent the day in
the streets shaking hands with Amer
lean soldiers, while children followed
about, eager for glance or a word
from the strangers whom they adj
dressed alternately in German and
French, not cOTnprehending why they
were not understood.
But they did comprehend the 1n-
usual and unheard OF manner of their
own reception. American soldiers
lifted the little ones to their shout
ders, bought them chocolates, and did
their best to entertain them.
At St Leger all tIze civilians gath

man bore the flag OF his country, and

With The American Army OF Oc-
cupation, Nov. 20--Well into Belgium
and within few hours march of the
German frontier in the south, Mai.
Gen. Joseph T. Dicl1man's army gath
cred itself today for another jump
into evacuated territory.
The line was unchanged. In ac-
cordance with plans, the march has
been halted for a short time, while
the heavier artillery, supply service
and other elements can be brought
up. However, General Dickman's
headquarters were moved on to
division commanders made similar
advances.
As the Germans withdrew, the con-
centration of the army OF occupation
is increased, and not for moment
has vigilance been relaxed. All pos
sible tactical advantage is carefully
taken and the forces are so deployed
that the peaceful march might easily
be converted into a, hostile opera
ton.
The second day OF the advance
served to confirm the belief at the
American headquarters however, that
there was no thought Of treachery in
the minds of the German general
staff, and that the terms Of the arm
istice will be faithfully carried out.
Little Damage Done. ..a
There have been few isolated
cases where surrendered materials
have been damaged, but it is not
thought such damage was wrought
under orders of German command
ers. The surrender of damaged air
planes at the airdome IN Tellancourt
is regarded as a case where individ-
ual aviators determined to put their
machines out of commission rather
than have them fall into the hands
Of an enemy much as a cavalryman
would shoot a favorite horse.
Enormous stores OF ammunition
and many guns left at Longuyon
were little impaired and the machine
shops there were not damaged.
The railway yards at Montmedy
and other places along the line that
served the Germans as one of their
main arteries of communication dur
ing their last stand against the allied
advance were filled with locomotives
and cars ready for use, while great
quantities Of stores not mentioned in
the terms Of the armistice had been
abandoned to the allies.

Paris, Nov. 20.-The enthusiasm
with which the people of Antwerp
welcomed the entrance of Belgian
troops into the city is described by
the correspondent Of the Petit Paris
en- who accompanied the first cavalry
patrols Sunday.
"As landed" the correspondent
writes, II saw the quays of the
Scheldt black with people radiant
with happiness. The crowd was so
thick it was impossible to move for
ward The city was magnihcently
decorated with busts of the sover
eigns in every store window sur
rounded with flowers and tri-color-
ed ribbons. Large bands Of cloth
were stretched across the streets in
scrfbed: 'F1emings and Walloons are
but the first name; Belgian is one
family name

the correspondent continues, "has af-
fected the union so much desired for
the greatness and prosperity OF Bel
GUM.
On the Place de Meir the stores
placed their finest wares IN the
windows All the goods of value
that had been carefully hidden from
the Germans were brought out and
placarded."

marching columns Crowds gathered
about every detachment. The mayor
opened his house and insisted upon
serving wine and offering his hospi-
tally to any American.
There, as in towns farther back
was met the unending stream OF re-
patriated men, Prisoners Of war;
soldiers of almost every allied ma
ton, tramped toward the advancing
Americans Most of them were in fair
physical condition, even IL grotes-
quely clad. All are being sent to the
rear for classification and transpor-
;tation to their own armies or to their
homes.
The Germans had one hospital in
Virton. When they found Ii In
ents some were left, the civilians
agreeing to care for them. The
mayors plans calling upon inhabit-
ants to care for the sick, feed the
prisoners of war and returning civil
ians, were posted prominently about
the city, alongside German orders
regulating the sale OF drinks, de-
signaling certain restaurants for Of
dcers and others for men. Beside
them appeared theater bills of con-
,certs and vaudeville. The Germans
were not without amusement wher-
ever they stayed and motion picture
shows and theaters are preparing to
reopen.
For Their Own Use.
It has been suggested that the ap-
parent prosperity OF the villages en-
tered, as indicated by the quantities
Of food in the restaurants, may not
be wholly real and that per-
haps 1t is due more to the fact that
the Germans had seen to it that the
restaurants and shops they patron
lied were wen cared for. What were
seen by the Americans, after all.

was merely the evidence of the pass

Presented Strong Contrast.
The country generally presented a
strong contrast to that fought over
for SO many years. The Americans
camped today in towns, most OF
which bear no trace Of warfare. Here
and there was one which showed
evidences of the fighting at the time
the French attempted to check the
German march through Belgium. In
most Of the towns every house was
intact. Among the exceptions arc
Longuyon and Montmedy, where a
few torn buildings tell of French and
American air raids.
The roads over which the Ameri-
cans travelled are in excellent condi-
ton due to their distance ack OF the
former German lines and the limited
use made nv the enemy of motor
trucks. This, coupled with the al
most constant work upon the roads
by the Germans, Eept them in q con-
dition almost equal to those OF
France before the war. The retreat
ing army left on the roads dozens of
steam rollers, which had been work
ing almost to the day Of its depar-
ture.
Although early victims Of the war,
Belgiu,n's inhabitants in this quar-
ter apEear better of today than the

The shops are better stocked than
those in the French towns the same

clothing, ranging from the lacy and
befrilled to srnartHy tailored garments
is prominently displayed in the win
