(Rainbow) divisions jtarted from the
positions in which they had encamped
on the edge of " the AmeVic'ah ' lines.
They were preceded by a small van
guard. East of Verdun, Major X. L. Ewnll
of Lexington, Virginia, commanding a
battalion of the First division, led his
men up to the line at 5:30, presented
his orders to the outpont, stepped
across Njo line and ordered "forward
march!" A similar procedure, was ob
served at other entry points.
Telegraph Lines Picked Up .
Tho various divisions followed eight
main roads toward Luxemburg. The
vanguard of the first division occupied
Ktain at six o'clock. Engineers mark
ed land niinos with- red flags. German
telegraph lines were picked up. and with
in three hours the American division
command was installed in former Ger
man headquarters. All day long the
roads to Luxemburg worr. crammed
with marching troops flying regiment
al flags. The advance, with clockwork
precision, reached the assigned object-'
ives early and. the troops went into
camp. Thousands of released prisoners,
on the verae of starvation, streamed
bwk .into the American cuinps.

up in trucks and sent to the rear, Ev

ly planned. Engineers had painted
signs, indicating the towns and the dis
tances between them. As the columns
rolled forward, various units dropped
out of line to take up previously as
signed positions.
The whole thing is far from spectac
ular, but it is most business like.
Discipline Relaxed
With the exception of those units
actually engaged in the advance, the
American armies are functioning as
usual. Behind the lines the only effect
of the armistice has been a slight re
laxation of the iron discipline.
Carpenters are finishing barracks
which were under construction, the sig

telephone lines and railways are being

With the American Armies iu France
Nov. 12. (Delayed) With Lieutenant
Jimmy Meissner of jBrOoklyn, One of
tho premier aos, I flw th's afternoon
over the furthermost American lines
east of Verdun.
At a height of only 20 to SO feet we
skimmed alonjf the line where the Am
erican drive had voluntarily halted. As
we swooped down over th heads of
the doughboys, they paused in their
work of building temporal y, shelters
and repairing roads to wave their
hands and yell greetings.
With 'the exception of this digging,
the front lines ( presented a strange
scene of inactivity. Doughboys stroll
ed idly over torn up fields and along
roads without equipment or guns, smok
ing and gossiping lit tiny ruined vil
lages which were taken just before the
armistice became effective, crowds
were sitting in the sunshine. In one

U. S. LONG RANGE CUN
WOULD OUT DISTANCE
BIG TEUTCf WEAPON
Military Value Not Great, But
Psychological Effect Was
. Expected.
By Carl D. Groat
(United "Press Staff Corrospond-'nt;)
Washington, Nov. 17. Had the war
continued, the United States would
have had a long range gun sluxitiug
much farther thun the Teuton one that
shelled Puris. The gun the United
States proposed to make would have
had a range of probably 100 miles, but
whether it will bo developed now that
the struggle is over is uncertain.
Like the mounting of big fourteen
inch naval guns for front warfare, this
long rangy weapon was to bo the pro
duct of navy brains. Not that ord
nance men believed, such a weapon to
be of iiiilitiiry value, but they did agree
that it might have psychological eifec.
The gun is understood to have been
planned along lir.v8 similar to the Ger
man machines. It was to be a gun with
in a j5tin, iu other words, a sub-calibre
gun.
The explosive charge would cover the
area of the bigger gun, but act on a
smaller tube within, thus producing n
big power on a comparatively unal'
projectile
Onliiaiii' men say -the German gen
and this one arc both'" freaks'' vnh
out sufficient ability to destroy the e-r.-tmv
to make them militarily worth thj
cost.
The naval ordnance experts not only
planned to develop this weapon, but
they did extraordinary work on depth
charges, rocket flares which would
li.vtht up enemv craft without search
lights and an aeroplane aun firing from
both ends. '
Irr aircraft tho navy was stirceiiaful.
One of its craft has a span of 123 fret
2j feet (renter than tho Mammoth
Handlvy I'age machine recently exhib
ited before President Wilson here.

It is estimated that it will be some

MILITARISTS ARE
WAITING CHANGE
RESUME COH
TROLTEUTO
Democratic Movement May
Be Impeded If Hunger
Demands Are Met-
CAN NOT DELIBERATELY
- LET GERMANY STARVE
Teuton People Should Be Com
pelled Jo Know What
Hunger Means.
By W. T. Mason
(United Presa Staff Correspondent.)
New York, Nov. 18. The Democrat
ic movement iu Gvtmany may bo sorl
ously impeded and perhaps fatally
handicapped if America and the allies
undertake to satisfy the hunger do
mands of the Gorman peoplo.
Tho world cannot deliberately let
Germany starve, but without permit
ting f amino to exist, the allied nations
should compel the German people to
know what partial hunger nwans for fl
long time to come. The Germans at
homo havo not had .tho full tasto of
war. Thcr territory has not been iu
vaded, except for a sum 11 part of East
Prussia, and thev knew tkj personal
meaning of tho conflict chiefly because
of food deprivations.
Awaiting Opportunity.
The German militarists are carefully
watching for an opportunity to uturn
to power. The fuct that Alsace-Lor-uino
and Prussian. Poland are tq bo tak
en from tho German empire is" not pre
venting the militarists from counting
upon the future territorial expansion of
Uormany throunh tho annexation of
Austria. The Gyrnuin, people have not
supwn any gXit 6f conversion to pac
ifism except such as has been rorced
on them. Th ww government lit Bei
iin has not removed a single high mil
itarist from his post. of authority.
If, under this condition, the Gvrman
nation is fattened by plentiful sup
plies of food, thoie is good reason to
believe tho militaristic spirit win bo
revived and tho German pvople will
again become a world menace. Hunger
is a good tonic for German democracy.
Hunger for many mouths ought to bo
enforced upon the German peopiv. Kot
starvation, but hunger. Enough food
should be withheld from the Ucrmans
to cause them to tuste.a littlo of the
suffering they havo brought on thvi.
world. It ougiit not to bo a question of
how much food should be sent to Get
many but how little.
. 'Threat Is Useless.
The German threat to hand, over
their government 'to the bolshevik! cle
ment unloss their food ultimatum is ac
ceptod, should not be allowed t0 tei
rori,e America and tho allies. The Gei
mflns have always eatvn more than nnj
other nation in the world. Many Ger
mans lmvc been accustomed to sii
meals daily. If a fow suppcrless weeks
put tho bolshevik! in powder, it will bo
because of other conditions besides
food. Anyway, if the bolshevik! aro
the only nltornntivo to the return of
militaristic influence in Germany, let
the bolshcviki come.
