Coblenz.-Tales of adventure in the
American West are the favOrite read
ing matter of the American forces In

popular author.
Strangely enough, Julius Caesar
runs q close second with the dough-
boys, who are very keen about trans

Rhine valley and the ruins of bridge
he built across the Rhine, which lifts
Caesars work out of the schoOlbOok
class and makes it guidebook that
carries the Americans back nearly
1900 years.
Books which describe the legends
centering about the Rhine are also
popular, especially with the soldiers
who are musically inclined and who
attend the Wagnerian performances
given by the various German grand
opera companies which play In Co
logne, Coblenz, Wiesbaden and the
other cities near the Rhine frequented
by soldiers on leave.
