Inquiries have been received at
Coblenz army headquarters in re-
gard to the question o fthe association
of soldiers with civilians. These have
come in such numbers during the last
few days that Lieut.. Gen. Hunter Lig-
gett has issued bulletin pointing out
that the United States is still techni-
cally at war with Germany. A large
number of these inquiries have asked
regarding marriage between Ameri-
can soldiers and German girls and were
partly responsible for the bulletin. The
bulletin says: in order to prevent
any possibility of misunderstanding the
army commander invites attention to
the fact that the signing by the as
sociated powers and Germany will not
terminate at once the present occupa-
tion of the legal state of war existing
between the United States and Ger
many. Not until said treaty is ratified
by the United States senate will war
between the United States and Ger
many be legally concluded, and not un-
til there is an actual evacuation of the
American occupied area by the United
States troops will control over this
area be ended. All proclamations and
orders heretofore issued, or that may
hereafter be issued, civilians will &C
cordingly remain in force and effect
until the actual evacuation by the Uni
ted States army Of zone now occu-
pied"

There was preparation at Toledo Tor

present, including 500 women. Up to
q few days before the battle the bet
ting odds favored Willard; but they
declined steadily until it became diff
ficuit to place bets at even figures.
There were millions on the Tight, but
the volume of betting was less than
was expected. The fight proved the
greatest disappointment in the history
Of the prize ring. In less than q MIN
ute after it commenced, it developed
that Dempsey could hit Willard when
ever and wherever he chose and Will
lard was knocked down hVe Tunes IN
the first round. WIZARDS face was
beaten into a pulp. One eye was
closed and six teeth were knocked out.
He was fearfully punished. AFTER the
third round Willard's seconds threw
their towels in the ring as a token OF
fight

that Dempsey was the best man ne
had ever met in the ring. The prize
ring followers were generally disap-
pointed in that the contest falled 10

The R-34, the British super-dirigi.
BILE, landed at Roosevelt flying field last
Sunday morning at 9.54 o'clock, ir
completion of the first successful triI
across the ocean by a lighter than all
machine. The trip was accomplished
in 10S hours and 1-2 minute, and Gov.
cred $500 land miles. The voyage was
not as smooth and uneventful as was
expected. The big ship ran into fogs
wind and thunder storms off New
foundland and had terrible struggle
to hold her own. At times it looked as
If 1t would be necessary to descend tt
the sea, and on that account, Major
Scott, the commander, wired for help
A number of United States warship:
were sent up to the Bay Of Fundy tc
be Of such service as might be possible
The R-34 continued to battle, however
and decided that ii could make Bos
ton. Arrangements were made for
landing at Montauk Point. Then later
it was decided that Roosevelt field
could be reached and that was done
Some of the facilities that had been as
sembled at Roosevelt field were trans
ferred to Montauk Point, in the emer-
gency. When the big airship found
that it could make Roosevelt field, the
facilities that had been sent away were
ordered back. The big airship flew
over Roosevelt field in circles while
things were being gotten in readiness
and the soldiers and sailors who haC
been sent to Montauk Point to assist ir
the landing were being rushed back lr
motor trucks While this circling was
going on Major Pritchard came down
in a parachute, and made a successful
landing. Hundreds Of soldiers and
sailors manned the guide ropes as the
big ship came down and the landing
was entirely successful. Major Scott
commander, was the first man TO steE
ashore from the big ship. He looked
worn and haggard on account Of loss
Of sleep and anxiety; but he greeted
General Lionel E. o. Charlton, the
British air attache in the United
States, who was waiting to receive him.
