wallnn boy, qualified aB a marathon
deep sea swimmer a tew days ago In
a vain dash for 'freodom from the
Industrial School. Attendants from
the school encountered the boy on

striking out In the general direction

overseas must be thoroughly "de-

American Army of Occupation,
Dec. 8. Three or four days will be
required, It Is estimated tonight, for
the four first-line divisions to com
plete their crossing into German ter
ritory, although the start was made
soon after daylight Sunday.
The advance Into Germany was
held up by the limited number ot
bridges across the Sauer and Moselle
rivers. The principal bridges used
were those at Echternach, Rosport
and WasserbiUlg on the Saner, and
Grevenmacher, Wormeldange and
Remlch on the Moselle. Several
small bridges and fords between
these villages were utilized by var
ious units.
In the village of Cordell, north of
Treves, three war-weary German sol'
dlers arrived home 'by train from the
north just as the American advance
guard reached the village. A hand'
ful of villagers was at the station to
meet the returning Germans. The
appearance of the marching Ameri
cans appeared to awe two of the Ger
mans and their families. This wss
not the case, however, iwith the third
soldier, whose wife took him by the
hand and led him through the vil
lage street past the columns of Americans.
There were no flags or other deco
rations in any of the towns through
which the Americans marched and
no music except that furnished by
the Americans. Wherever the Amer
icans asked questions regarding
roads, they received courteous re
plies. In the restaurants and stores
the Germans sold to the American
soldiers any goods on hand at war
time prices.
The natives generally stood or
walked as the Americans passed. No
emotion wag shown anywhere ex
cepting among the ohlldren, who at
some places appeared to regard the
