MANY / DAMAGE
CLAIMS AGAINST

The Germans Charge That
Build ldings, Streets, Farms
Have Been Ruined.

n American Headquarters. coblenz,

ages to streets, buildings. farms and
even individuals all reputed to have
been done by American soldiers or
American equipment of some kind
since the army of occupation reach
ed the Rhine, aggregate something
allowed total approximately 250,0OO
marks. Many claims are unique and
some without any justification.
A. "A woman who contended that her
facial appearance had been marred
for life, owing to cuts caused by fly
ing glass due to an explosion at an
ammunition dump, sent in the
modest claim for ESQ marks. 1t was
allowed.
Another woman. whose husband
had been killed by an American mill
tary policeman who was chasing dis
tributers of contraband liquor, SUBJ
mitted q claim to the Americans for
250,0o0 marks, contending that her
sole support had been taken from
her: The Americans maintained that
the German had been killed by the
American soldier who was acting
within his rights in line of duty. The
claim was disapproved.
Some Of the claims are humorous.
Last summer, the Eighty-ninth divi-
sion borrowed goat for a circus at
it's headquarters. Recently CLAIM,
was filed with the American town
major asking damages on the conten-
ton that the health of the goat had
been injured. This claim was pigeon

A Rhineland farmer recently de-
manded five marks for bean pole

claim on the ground that there was
