American Army of
Occupation Again
Tightens the Lid
One Zone Has Complete
Prohibition Because Ger
mans Sold an Imitation
Cognac at High Price

COBLENZ, July 26 (By Courier to
Paris, July 28) (By the Associated
Press).-The lid on affairs generally
in the areas occupied by the American
troops, which had been lifted a bit
automat tically with the signing of the
peace treaty by the Germans, again
has been considerably frightened by
new orders.
In Andernati and the zone on the
left bank of the Rhine held by the
American Sd Division, the sale of alco-
holic drinks to soldiers has been pro-
hibited by Divisional Commander
Howe. A recent investigation showed
that the Germans had been selling
soldiers an imitation cognac and other
strong liquors at high prices. General
Howze's order applies to the Sd Divi-
sion area.
In the brdgehead proper on the east
bank Of the Rhine, held by the Amcri-
can 1st Division, and in Coblenz the
sale of liquor to soldiers is permitted
during certain hours daily, as it has
been since the time of occupation.
A recent headquarters order puts a
ban on "joy riding" and prohibits the
uoC VI ARMY duIOulOUllCS except OIL
business or when absolutely necessary.
This order also warns speeders that
traffic rules will be enforced. The or
der was due to the fact that there have
been a large number of accidents re-
Gently.
Another headquarters order refers
to men absent without leave, who are
said to have been numerous in the last
few weeks. 1t says special efforts are
being made to return these men to
their units. In Weisbaden a few days
ago the military police arrested forty
nine men who were absent without
leave. Several of them were officers.
One man had been absent for nine
months.
The military police who were with
drawn from Metz some time ago have
been returned there, owing to reports
received at headquarters that large
number of American soldiers away from
their commands without leave were in
Metz recently.

Marshall independence Day Luding
ton-so named because he was born
on the Fourth of July, 1s39-was
member of the famous Ludington FAM
early colonial days, others Of whom
were Colonel Henry Ludington. the
Westchester, N. Y, militia leader of
the Revolution, and Harrison Luding-
ton, twelfth Governor of Wisconsin.
General Ludington was the son of Zal-
mon and Lovila (Hagans) Ludington,
and was born at Smithfeld, Penn.
ne entered the army in October,
1862, as captain of volunteers in the
quartcrmaster's department, and was
successively promoted until in March,
1868, he was made Colonel "for faith
ful and meritorious services" He had
seIVeu with credit and distinction IN
the Charlottesville and Gettysburg
campaigns, all through the WILDERNESS SIS
and at Petersburg.
He was mustered out as brigadier
general of volunteers, but two years
later was appointed a lieutenant COL
onel in the regular army "for faith
full and meritorious services" and
again through successive promotions
rose to be brigadier general and quar-
termaster general of the army in Feb
ruary, 1898, in which capacity he serve d
through the Spanish War and until
April ~, 1908.

was cancelled and the United States
Shipping Board practically agreed to
take the ships at the same price Of
fered by the British syndicate, which,
in reality, represented the British gov
ernment. After the armistice the Ship
ping Board abandoned the purchase
Then the directors of the international
resumed the British deal, and it was
supposed to be as good as closed, when
objection was raised by the American
international Corporation and some
other stockholders, and to the pub
lie surprise the shareholders voted
overwhelmingly against the sale.
1t has been authoritatlvely learned
that this reversal of policy was due
to the confidence of large interests
represented in the ownership Of the
International Mercantile Marine that
the American governments policy in
the future toward the merchant ma
rine will be such that ships under the
American flag can compete with those
of other nations.
For purely American company to
continue to own and operate large
part of the British merchant marine
under the British flag will not be
without difficulties and embarrass-
ments, especially after the British gov
ernment has practically expressed it's
that such a relation should
continue.
This situation will be met by build
ing up feet under the American flag
as rapidly as the ships under the Brit
ish flag become obsolete until thus
the property as we'll as the ownership
of the Internatianl Mercantile Marine
will gradually become American
In the meantime the company will
not be placed at the commercial dis
advantage Of practically being out of
the shipping business while it; new
ships are building.

Germans Protest
 Paying for Their
 Ladies at Dances

Stettin, Germany, Nov. 1s-(By the Associated Press. 1.-The workers of Stettin and suburbs have struck against paying all the entrance fees into dances, and the refreshments, for their girl or women partners at dances. Women, they assert, are now earning about as much as men, and should bear their share. They positively will not dance with any. woman who does not pay her own way. The ultimatum was published in Settin pager, and reads:
 "The dancing ladies' world should pay for itself. The revolution brough. the same rights for man and wo- man. As a result we demand that the young people of Stettin no long, CT pay for the ladies. Why should we male workers who have to earn money with our hands dance away 8 or marks, perhaps a bottle of wine and other things, in order to show ourselves as cavaliers to la dies?
 "If the ladies are willing to amuse themselves with us Sunday after moons, then they should bear the ex- pense in equal shares since we earn our money by the sweat of our brows? Therefore, open your pock- etbook, or remain at home" The appeal is signed by many young Stettin people, which have ac- quired good sense."

Theatre Seats in
 Berlin Soaring

Berlin, Nov. 18-(By the Associat- ed Press.)-Prices for theatre and opera seats are soaring to the skies in Germany. It has just been an- nounced that it will be necessary to charge sixty marks for an orchestra seat and 100 marks for a box seat at the first performance of Pfitzner's "Palestrina," which is soon to be giv- en. Before the war there was much criticism because thirty marks wa. the charge for a seat at the opera when Caruso sang.
 When Frau Fritzi Massary's ope- retta, "Sybill," was produced for the first time the other night, spectators advanced the price of seats from 120 to 150 marks.
 The audience included "illicit trad CTS" whose wives and daughters gilt tered with diamonds.

and resellng them to the French at several times cost. Many men make as much as 200 francs a week" NeWspapermen seem to have land ed on their feet most quickly. Nearly all of those who stayed are develop. ing some "idea" outside of office hours.
 Several thrifty discharged soldiers made temporary wealth buying "dol- lar checks" sold to service men at lower rate than the dollar was quoted. One man, formerly on The Stars and Stripes is credited with making a small fortune in that way. Army pathos and bathos, put in book form by Sergeant Melvin Ryder, of Schnectady, became best-seller and passed the 300,000 mark.
 Ideas for great wealth are being mulled over by number of men and may result in the establishment of a chain of hotels and restaurants along the battlefront towns. One young man who missed the American small boy "shine" is negotiating a lease for shoe-shining parlor. As an American business man who came in contact with many of the dis charged men put it, 'There aren't any gold dollars in the streets but there is lot of silver scattered about that may be picked up if the Ameri- can boys will look for it through French spectacles. The French can't be Americanized but there is a lot of good in our ways that they need and will accept. if on our side we meet their views and respect their customs"

Play to Ulster Is Expected From
 New Irish Bill

Dublin, Nov. 1S.-Many Irishmen believe the governments new Irish bill will give an option to northeast Ulster of coming into or staying out of Rome Rule parliament. Part of the inducement for Ulster to come in may be provided by adoption of the plan first suggested by Premier Lloyd George under which an Irish parliament would meet alternately in Belfast and Dublin. It is said here that Sir Edward Carson would vig- orously oppose the plan of allowing Ulster to exercise it's option by vot- ing by counties. Sir Edward is said to stand out for clean-cut of the six northeastern counties.
 The problem is to give self-govern- ment to country one-fifth of which at least would rather have civil war than to abandon its present status. The other four-fifths of the country has elected parliament whose meet ings in Ireland are prohibited as il- legal.
