Coblenz, ApriN2-Detailed plans we're
made known here for sending the
Rainbow division home. They show
that general headquarters has ar
ranged for the entrainment, movement,
and embarkation of the units now in
the American army Of occupation with
a maximum speed and minimum dis
comfort.
According to the final schedule, the
entrainment Of the Forty-secondi wtp
begin on Saturday, April 5, and will be
completed on the following Fridey,
April IL. The running time to Brest
is fixed at sixty hours, much faster
than anybody here thought possible.
That means that the last of the Rain
hc. n.4ts should be in Brest on April
IA, and one Of the most pleasing an
nouncements Is that the average stay
at Brest IS less than four days.
In other words, the entire division
should be- on the water on April IS.
thirteen days after the movement VIII
be begun here. The whole Rainbow
outfit probably will be on American
soil several days before May /.

units of the Rainbow division, minus
the artillery pieces. transport and SIM

Clubs Far Worse.
Bad as is the gambling in the open
streets that in the Clubs is declared
to be far worse. Membership is a mere
formality as membership cards are
pressed upon all who enter the clubs.
The clubs are springing up like mush-
rooms even in the formerly aristo-
cratic section of Berlin. The police
last night raided prominent hotel OF
the first class and discovered a club.
but they were unable to disturb it be-
cause every player had membership
card, as required by law.
The fashionable west end is full of
clubs, while gambling houses have
been opened on the Inter den Linden.
The clubs are patronized by strange
mixture of wealthy and poor and the
stratus between. including many wide
~ known persons who made large
amounts Of money on war contracts.
Bets on roulette run as high as 5000
marks. ?
The clubs, both old and new, are
striving to outdo each other to at
tract a constantly new clientele. One
means is to serve better meals than
can be obtained i'm, the restaurants,
without charge. Many beautiful homes
have been hired for club purposes and
the gaming rooms arc surrounded with
every luxury. similar to the gambling
houses of New York some years ago.
For those who can not patronize the
expensive clubs there is always gam
bling in certain cafes. particularly in
the west end where the dice rattle
steadily until late at night where rou-
lette and baccaret are prevalent. Street
