YANks' PICNIC COMING TO A SOBER CLOSE.

The first detail from the Army of Occupation on the Rhine landed Tn New York this week aboard the Cam brai. There were 975 in the detail, who have been stationed at Coblenz.
 The men were not as keen to come home as many of those who came in 1918 and 1919. They have been sit ting on top of the world" in Ger many. An income of $30 a month when converted into German marks made then millionares. The red, ruddy. rhenish wine has been cheap and plentiful in the Army of Oceu- patton. Some of the men who reached home this week say their return home will mean as complete change of environment and circum- stances as could be imagined. They feel that the Yank at King Arthur s court had nothing on the Tanks in the Army of Occupation.
 Many of them are already pining for Fraulines they left behind them. Some of them brought the Fraulines with them: others brought French madamoiselles; still others brough. Belgian madamoiselles, and still oth- CTS brought Swiss fraulnes or mad amoiselles or senoritas, as the case may be, or was.
 The German wives who came With the detail are typical German wives There were IA babies along with the detail and all of these young Amer jeans have German mothers.
