General Headquarters American Fxpeditionary Forces. Chaumont, France, Dec. 20 Correspondence ot the Associated Press. )-In such spare times as their duties permit many or the officers of the American heal quarters staff have studied the inter- csting historical relics of this little city. While not so old as some of it's neighboring towns nevertheless ChaumOnt is a fertile field of lnNes- tjgato1.
 It was once the seat and stronghold of the Counts of Champagne. On the edge of 2. trec-clad precipice that commands a, wide sweep of field and forest still stands the large Tour Hautefeuillc, Q relic of the castle of the Counts of Champagne. A massive square structure of masonry, lichen- cd and gray with age, it now forms one angle of the more modern Palais Go Justice and is in such good co1dt- ton that it. is hard to realize it dates from the 11th century. Below it are the cells of the court house, and around it's rasa is a quaint walled garden shaded by ancient trees.

Leipsic fair throw light on Germany's
economic position. According to the
secretary Of exhibition there were 1000
foreign buyers present.
Conversations with exhibitors gave
observers the impression many German

to the shortage of coal and the loss Of
export trade, their only hope being to
trade with neutrals and America. Fear
was expressed the continued hostility
Of the British would prevent trade in
England. Exhibits at the fair seemed
to show manufacturers are not depend
ing upon foreign raw materials but
rather on novel mechanical devices.
Machining tools were formed into a
fine exhibit, but the prices quoted were
from twice to four times the prewar
scale. Exhibitors seemed to be very

cial engineering machinery, while de-
