American Army of Occupation, Dec.
2.-American patrols along the Mo-
selle river had a great thrill Wednes-
day when they reached the German
side Of the river along the, railroad
from Treves to Metz which parallels
the Moselle. Passenger trains had
been operated as usual since the
Americans reached the western bank
and when an apparently ordinary pas
senger train appeared Wednesday the
Americans paid no attention to it.
Suddenly. yell came from the first
coach Then little French flag was
waved -frantically from the window by
"a blue uniformed arm. A second
later a British flag fluttered from the
window and the cheers increased in
volume.
Before.the patrols realized what had
happened more cheers were heard and
from one of the two rear coaches an
American flag suddenly appeared wav-
ing vigorously.
The train consisted of seven coaches,
every one of which was filled with
French, British and American released
soldiers being taken by the Germans
to Metz. The patrols were the first of
the allied troops to be seen by the
prisoners since the signing of the ARM
istice. The last the Americans saw
of the train every car window had five
or six heads sticking out trying to get
a glimpse of the Americans along the
