£i.—Only one turkey was served on 1
Thanksgiving Day in the entire
American army of occupation. This
was at mess of fifteen farsighted offi- ■
cere of the bureau of operations at
tho headquarters of the third divi
sion at Rcmich. The turkey wa-; pur
chased November 11, and was fatten
ed for tie feaot.
Other Thanksgiving dinners in the
army varied according to the resource
fulne:.» of the mess officers and the
ingenuity of the cooks.
Condition of the Enemy.
While the American < had plenty of
wholesome and substantial food, from
the enemy liner, cair.e further reports
of hunger among the released allied
prisoners, food riot among the defeat
ed troops and civilian privations.
At the me»s of the staff officer* of
the thirty-second division a quarter
of v en hi or was served. It was a gift
from a resident of Luxemburg, whose
huntm reserve is near the division
headquarters at Consdorf. The officers
at second division headquarters at La
Roclictte had duck costing $8.00 to
flO.OO each. Chicken took the plaice
of turkey at the tabhs of the officers
of the first division at Canach. The
chicken wa* nearly as expensive as
docks. In some ttler divisions Lux
emburg ham costu g $4U)0 a pound
1 was served.
Among the men there was an
abundant supply of beef, nuts and
I mince meat. The cooks vied with
each other in supplying docghrilit*,
cakes and other fcrms of sweets, and
the quartermaster managed to get
through extra rations of chocolates.
Ther also were many pools among
the m<? to buy poult, y from the
farmers. Some of the tr'< ps along
the Moselle bought pike or river
trout. The men enjoyed tl.e ho'j'..iy
rest in anticipating the r next for

American Army of Occupation Sun
day, Dec. 1.—Throe or four days will
h« r-'ju;red, it was estimated for the
four rirst line divisions) to complete
their crosnnu into German territory,
although the start was mrde soon af
ter daylight Sunday.
Clouds threatened rain, but later
the sun broke through the haze, hut
hardly long enough to relieve the dis
mal a'.mo*phere of the German vil
lages through which the Americans
passed.
The advance of the army of occupa
tion was held up by the limited num
ber of bridges across the Sauer and
Moselle rivers. .
The American divisions marched
with full war equipment. The heavy
artillery also rumbling along the Ger
man road The main roads encount
ered during the first day's march in
to Germany were in good condition.
At several place , the Americans pars
ed mall bridges and culvcrts which
apparently had been repaired recent
ly
In the village of Cordcll, three war
weary German .-.oklieri arrived home
by train from the north just as the
American advance guard reached the
village. A handful of villagers met
them. The appearance of the march
ing Americans appeared to awe two
of the Germans and their families.
This was not the case, however, with
the third soldier, whose wife took him
by the hand and led him past the
Americans.
There were no flags or other decor
ations in any of the towns through
which the Americans marched and no
music except that furnished by the
Americans. Wherever the Americans
asked questions regarding roads, they
received courteous replies. In the res
tauranta and stores the Germans
sold to the American soldiers any
roods on hand at war time prices.
Perhaps the first American tunes
heart! in Germany as ployed by the
; bands of the army of occupation was
in th.> village of Irrel. just across the
Sauer river. The village was entered
I by the 125th infantry while the vH
; lager* were on their way to church.
The villagers forgot church for the
time being and stood bewild> redly
! witching the khaki-clad precession.
The natives, neatly clad in their
Sunday clothes generally just stood
or walked as the Americans passed.
