AMERICAN REGULATIONS
At COBLENZ REMAIN
There Will Be No Relaxation for Ger

Liggett Announced

Coblenz, Sunday, June % tBy the As.
sociated Press The rules and regula
tions issued by the authorities Of the
army Of occupation soon after entering
Germany last December will continue in
effect indefinitely, according to an an.
nouncement at third headquarters to-
day. Lieutenant General Hunter Liggett
sent word to-day to the over president
of the Rhine provinces instructing him
to notify burgomasters and other Off
cials Of the various districts in the
American zone to caution civilians that
none OF the army regulations had yet
been cancelled.
This action was taken as precaution,
many civilians appearing TO take it for
granted that the army regulations had
been automatically annulled by the sign
ing of the peace treaty. The regulations
will stand until further orders are issued
either by general American headquarters
or the interallied Rhineland commission.

ITALIAN BOY SCOUTS
HONORED IN COLOSSEUM
First Christian Service Held on Site of
Famous Pagan Temple-Immense
Ruins Were Filled with People
to Witness Ceremony.

Rome, June Is Correspondence of the
Associated Press On the very site
where once Christians were offered as
the prey of wild beasts TO amuse the
Roman populace, in the Roman colosseum
where Caesars sacrificed the faithful TO
satisfy a pagan lust, Christian service
has at last been held. 1t was celebrated
recently in memory of the boy scouts of
the Italian army who had done messen-
ger service at the front and were killed
in action.
The altar used for the service was one
which had been carried by the Italian
armies through many campaigns in the
Alps and was placed in the west end of
the colosseum. The service was presided
over by Monsignor Bartolomasi, who
held the rank of general in the Italian
army, being the chief chaplain TO the
Italian forces.
The immense ruin of pagan days was
filled with people. Detacbments of boy
scouts occupied the central part of the
building, place in pagan days used for
the arena. The scouts were deeked in
their uniforms and carried rifles, instead
of the sword and spear of the ancient
Roman gladiator.
After the mass Monsignor Bartolomasi
| delivered a stirring sermon in which he
drew attention to the change in human
| thoughts which was able to convert this
pagan amphitheatre into a Christian
| temple.

when an airrlane in which Captain
Schultz was distributing an extra edi

Captain Schultz volunteered to carry

Captain Schultz came overseas with
the Sd cavalry, being transferred to the

The afternoon German newspapers
published in the area occupied by Amer

to the effect that the stage was all set
for the last act in the war drama, as far
as the Germans were concerned, and let

In the past the emperor of Japan has
rarely made his appearance in the public

silent homage, The recent ovation after

The municipality presented to the EN-.

that accounts receivable aggregate $685.
1899, of which $50,7l5.45 is for uncol-
lected taxes and $30,57O.62 for street and
sewer assessments. A large part of
these amounts have been owing for sew
eral years and it is said that part is out
lawed. When a business concern gets
short of money collection campaign is
started. 1t might not be bad thing
for Burlington to start in and collect
the accounts receivable. If this were
done it might not be necessary TO in.
