I Premature Occupation' Due to ' Request of Germans. I Mkin ^merican Army Continues lis Advance in Germany in the Usual Manner. . ! American Army of Occupation. Dec. ! t.?(By the Associated Press.)?A battalion of the Thirty-ninth infun- i try left Treves by train today for Coblenz, a four hours' run. The premature occupation of Coblenz is due j to the request of the German authorities, who are apprehensive of the conditions that might prevail there after the withdrawal of the German forces. This is the first time the Americans have utilized railway trains for their advance Into the territory from which the Germans have withdrawn. The main army continues its advance in the usual manner and last might had reached th*e general line of tJj'^flMdadorfau, Mayen, Kloenig and : gphwarden. All reports continued to . indicate that the Germans were withdrawing in an 6rderly manner and tljat the inhabitants of the villages occupied by the Americans were refraining from any antagonistic acts. It was not expected that there would be any trouble at Coblenz and ? ' the appeal by the burgomaster to send troops was denied until it was 'supplemented in writing by the retlr- i ing military commanders.

"Recent developments in the industries and in rural work have demonstrated the porsibiUiy of doing thla and it is proposed to undertake ' not only far more extensive work'pp the cities, but to extend association activities into the rural districts Of! the whole country In co-operation with the schools and churches." said Mr. Huntington. "The fact that the association is the creature and agent of the Church of Christ wasv made most emphatic and an e trnest desire to be of greater serVtee than ever before was very Evident," Mr. Huntington had the following to say regarding the oooferen^e:? x "One entire session of the conference was givetj to a discussion of the criticisms which have been heard as coming from returning soldiers. Three things have been largely, responsible for these criticisms. First, the tak-' lng over of the canteen service as requested by General Perphing. Second. the immense task of providing service for the vast numbers of soldiers sent abroad so rapidly, and third, the necessity for recruiting large numbers of men for this service at short notice. The wonder is that the work has been as- free from reasons for criticism as has been the case. uoccor xvxott in closing me discussion told of the delegations of prominent business -men yyho Hhd been sent to France from Jitne to time to time to study the situation and make recommendations for the correction of faults and improvement of the service.

They have their organized football and base ball teams, boxers, , dancers and concert artists and this i 'week are proving their claims by , match games and public entertain- , ments. About 2,000 men and officers are j located in the area near Y 103 at the ; entrance to the camp at Liberty park.

This same Company C has a man who draw* a cartoon every time he turns around unless drilling, in the person of Sgt. C- R. Moore. Trench and Camp expects to have some of this work next week on display. The following contribution comes; from the 340th battalion: ,To the Editor of Trench and Camp: The men of Battalion 340, tank ; corps, would like to have you print j a word or two about our Sgt. Major j Bobble North, who has done so much to orgitjil/.e and maintain the highest | degree of efficiency and good fellowship in our ranks. Mr. "North came to us as a volunteer j from Chicago, 111. After being in I camp two days he was made a cAr| poral and one week later an instructI ing sergeant. On November 16. 20 days j after joining the army, he received Ithe highest non-com warrant obtainable, that of a sergeant major and has. twice refused a commission in i order to remain with the boys. Our work at Oomp Polk hns been ; one round of pleasure because of Mr. North's efforts. Almost every , ' night Vie staged for us some kind of ; a show at the Y tent and just before we pulled out. he arranged the swell; est danco Raleigh has ever known. . j for the men. We appreciate those | things and would like to let everybody I know this through your columns. If | | we can break the quarantine /we ex; j pect to give him a dinner at the Seli wyn hotel. North is only a kid in size and years, but believe me he is . a peppery one and the men are with me when I say we're strong for him. " heard tonight that he is planning .. a sort of a farewell show for this town, after we're discharged. You can bet it will be a corker beenu.se he never starts anvthlng he don't finish.
