Major-General Dickman, commander
of ths American army which will oc

' USED IN ARGONNE
Paris. Out of the confusion and
date ot the crowding military events
on the western battle line since lata
in September, when battle followed
battle until from Flandera to Verdun
there was ceaseless action, it la now
permissible to mention the part played
by the American armies in the final
decisive battle ot the war, which enderf
with the armistice.
Military reasons heretofore have pre
rented aeoentuatlng the accomplish
ments ot the Americana, except in a
most general manner. But it may now
be stated that 21 American diviatont
totalling more than 750,000 American
combat troopa participated In the ac
tion beginning September 26 and last
lng 20 days, known variously aa ths
battle of the Argonne and the battle
of the Meuse, but which history may
call Sedan the battle that brought
Germany to her kneea, and as far. as
human foresight goea, ended ths
World's bloodiest and oostliest war.
' It was at daybreak ot September 26
when the Americans went in. Using

Paris. Germany's debt to France is
estimated at 840,000,000,000 francs by
the Matin in an editorial. The news
paper apportions the debt as follows
Return of the indemnity of 1871
with interest, 60,000,000,000 franos; ex
penses ot the present war, 140,000,000,-
000 franca; pensions, 40,000,000,000
franos; and reparation for damages,
100,000,000,000 francs.
Germany and Austria, it adds, should
return to the allies a minimum of 7,
000,000 tons ot shipping In payment
for that destroyed in the war, but they
have at their disposal only 3,000,000
tons. Consequently the delivery ol
the entire German-Austrian merchant
marine would constitute only half reparation.
GERMAN APPEALS
ARE UNNECESSARY
Washington. In the almost hysterk ;
cal appeals of the German provisional
government for supplies ot food ana
for permission to address itself direcb
ly through a commission to the Ameri)
can public, officials here see a purpose
to excite the sympathies of a large
element ot the American population)
more or less connected by blood ties
with Germany. j
' President Wilson already has prona
la ad to do everything possible to pre
rent suffering among the civil pop
latioa of the conquered stktes. The
entente powers' have indorsed this at .
titude.-.
It la known officially that there ig
sufficient food in Germany to meet
immediate needs. The supreme waa
council Is planning to supply food la
the future and .before the present
stocks are exhausted, assuming the
exercise of economy In food distribu
tion. To correct what appears to be a ge
eral public' misunderstanding on the)
subject, It may be authoritatively
stated that none of this food to b
sent from America to Germany or Aus
tria will be given away. It must b
paid for by the governments of those
countries. '
Allies Will Get German Fleet
London. All ot the German war-j
ships that must be turned over accord
ing to the terms of the armistice will
be in allied hands by Saturday, a day'

ment, Jt was learned on good authority.
