the Associated Pressl. - Details Of
civilian attacks on German soldiers
in various parts OF Germany have
reached the headquarters OF the
American forces recently, showing
the, bitterness OF German civilians
against the troops Of Gustav Noske,
the German minister Of military az
fairs
Several discharged soldiers who
entered the American area a few DAYS
ago asserted that patrols Of the first
battalion OF the Twenty-second
Relchswehr regiment, stationed AT
Hanau, were safe only when pro-
ceeding in force. These former sol
diers were members Of this unit and

a soldier appeared in the streets OF
Hanau alone, or accompanied by one
OF two comrades. he was likely to be
attacked by civilians and that many
serious encounters BETWEEN soldiers
and civilians had occurred lately.
On the other hand, men OF the rail-
road regiments at Hanau said that
they never had any trouble and were
on good terms with the people.
