PARIS, Jan. /. CBy the Associated

American war matters. speaking to the
Associated Press relative to certain eN-
traordinary rumors which have been
in circulation in Paris, denied officially
that the American army had been re-

occupied at the front or for territory
occupied mjlitarily behind the front.
Numerous reports of French, as well
as American and British origin have
revealed to us that German %propagan-

many others, is found in the persistence
OF this absurd rumor, IL mas been said
that when American troops took up a
new sector on our front they had to
pay rent for it to the French govern
ment n that when American troops
captured ground from the enemy in
battle they had to Jay rent for the
I~econquered territory. | deny it offiC-
Tally in the most categorical fashion.
THE rule followed since the Ameri-
can army arrived in France has been
inspired by an exactly contrary spirit.
When an American unit relieved French
troops, the unit leaving the sector
passed over the material collected there
and the same rule was IN effect when
the French relieved the Americans. In
Cantonments the requisitron price paid
for private buildings is the same for
the French and allied armies. As for
