THIS TIME GERMANS AID COBLENZ, by courier to Nancy, December 10 (by the Associated Press). ?Sentries of the American and German armies face each other across the Rhine tonf,;ht. From Andernach. below Coblenz. northward to the British lines American forces hold the west bank of the stream. South of Coblenz advanced elements of the American Army have reached the river. It is expected that the movement across the Rhine will be well under way tomorrow. The 1st and 3d divisions have been designated to occupy the advanced positions along the thirty-kilometer arc east of Coblenz, constituting the bridgehead stipulated in the armistice. The 32d, 90th, 4th and 42d will occupy positions in support of the advanced lines. Make-Up of Divisions. The 1st, 3d and 4th divisions are of the Regular Army. The 32d is made up of National Guard regiments from Michigan and Wisconsin. Texas and Oklahoma National Army men make up the 90th, while the 42d is the "Rainbow" Division, composed of National Guard regiments from Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, New York, Georgia, Ohio, Alabama, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Maryland, South Carolina, California, Missouri, Virginia, North Carolina, Kansas, Texas, Michigan, New Jersey, Tennessee, Oklahoma, District of Columbia, Nebraska, Colorado and Oregon. The 32d, and perhaps the 90th, will i cross at Coblenz, and the others will use the bridges north and south of the city. Arrangements have also been made to use tugs, if necessary to expedite the crossing. I Engineer regiments have inspected i all bridges and roads beyond the river, while a commission made up of German army officers and civilians has given every facility for the Americans to collect information as to the territory that is to be occupied east of the Rhine. Americans Occupy Fort. Across the river from Coblenz, in the fortress of Ehrenbreitstein, there has been a small force of Germans, but it has been withdrawn and an American force entered the fortress today following a request to that effect from the German authorities. The German commandant of the place informed the Americans that by tomorrow the entire German army, with the exception of small detachments of guards, would be nine miles from the Rhine. A bottle thrown from a window by a woman at an American soldier has been the only overt act of hostility reported since the Americans have entered Coblenz. The incident was regarded as being so trivial that it was left to the local police to deal with the woman. There has developed. however, within the past twenty-four hours, an unmistakable air of independence on the part of the people, reflecting their conviction that the Americans are going to deal with them much more delicately than have the French or British with the people north and south of the city. The position of the Americans is slightly peculiar. Coblenz; was informally occupied by a battalion which arrived on Sunday and which served only as a guard and probably would have been inadequate in event of serious' trouble. German officers are here treating with the American authorities, and discharged soldiers still wearing their uniforms are still numerous in the streets, which seems to offer to the civilians, who have not yet felt the strength of an invader's hand, reason to believe that the Americans are not of the resent-I ful nature. Instead of cringing or even show- j I ins? ueep respeci, ine population tuaay adopted an attitude that found ex- I pression in jostling; American soldiers ! 011 the streets and in sneers and ! laughs which were only vaguely con- i cealed. The burgomaster has published only 1 the rules regulating local affairs. The ! latest one orders the closing of cafes j at 11 o'clock in the evening. It is es- | timated at his office that there are 1 sufficient foodstuffs in this district to i last them till February, after which assistance will be imperative. Prohibits Sale of Firearms. COBLENZ, by courier to Nancy, Wednesday, December 11 (by the Associated Press).?Sales of firearms have been .prohibited in Cobienz by order of the burgomaster, who is co-operating with the American forces. All civilians are ; directed to turn over their firearms to I the municipal authorities. j German militiamen and discharged soldiers. wl\p have been assisting in police duties, are discharged by the burgomaster's order preliminary to turning the municipal affairs entirely over to the Americans. All theaters and restaurants are af- ] , fected by the order issued yesterday di- 1 1 recting cafes to close at 11 o'clock. ! These places are forbidden to bum lights ! after that hour. Hotels also are affecti ed, but in a lesser degree. German ! 1 grand opera has been presented at the | I largest theater here within the past few 1 days. The order as to lights, it is ex- ] plained, was necessary because of the shortage of coal. | HOHENZOLLERNS DRAW 'PAY.' j Imperial Revenues Paid All Royal j Personages in Germany.

Although plans for the general reorganization of the United States ^Vrmy on a peace basis are held in abeyance until the peace conferences in Paris shall have been concluded, the General Staff Corps of the Army has prepared a bill for the reorganization of the staff corns itself for early presentation to Congress. Provisions of the Eili. The bill provides generally for the abolition of the old bureau system and for the centralization of both authority and responsibility for the entire military establishment in the general staff. It is stated that the bill also will define the status of such arms as the air service, the Motor Transport Corps, the chemical warfare service and the Tank Corps. The chief of each service, probably will be a member: of the general staff. Similarly, the present distribution of the functions formerly vested in the quartermaster general, chief of ordnance and adjutant general are confirmed and centralized in the staff. Favors Universal Training. While the reorganization of the' Army itself will be deferred until the outcome of the Paris peace conference ts known, many aspects of that < subject are being studied by general staff officers. The staff already has asserted its virtually unanimous ad- i herence to the universal training idea. MILLIONS IN GOLD TO ALLIES. Vast Sum Received by Germans from Russia Reaches Paris.

THE HAGUE, November 24 (Correspondence of the Associated Press).? Under the auspices of the American committee of public information, the first exhibition of the American war film entitled "America's Answer" , I ; was given nere recently to a seiect j audience, composed of chief officers of the general staff of. the Dutch army and navy, invited by American military and naval attaches. The film consisted of eight reels, ! i showing the American fleet in Euro- j pean waters, transport and hospital services and other aspects of America's achievements in the war. A feature of interest proved to be the series of pictures of American aviation. The whole display was greeted with warm enthusiasm, while \iews showing President Wilson and Gen. Pershing drew spontaneous cheers. The Peruvians are a pleasure-loving people, and in Lima, especially, there are many amusements and many sporting events. i MLing oy KzlVlTlg They'll Like \ ?rchiefs Neckw " *** 65c to $3.00 bo, $1.50 ^ , i!>roidered Tire cleverest or ! emmed color combinations 'chief*. in "Scarfs of ToIrLih Linen , 75c day."
