(By Associated Press)
blenz, Dec. 15 (delayed). - Ap-
mately 40,000 American troops
arrived at Coblenz since the ad-
e guard reached here a week ago.
'ge number of these troops have
d through the city, while con-
able forces will remain here tem-
Throughout the sector held by the
mericans the men have settled down
o what may be weeks of occupation.
7ms and Nassau are two important
>wns which have fallen to the
'rench, who were sent into the Amer-
an sector, but Neuwied, a big in-
uistrial center, and all the other
awns in the northern half of the sec-
>r are held by the Americans.
Yanks Attend Hun Services
Americans have followed the colony
hich characterized their first days
occupation. They have promulgat-
I no drastic rules to. promote civil
rife and have insured the inhabi-
nts that they will not be molested,
> long as they do not interfere with
e military duties. While the people
rCoblenz are somewhat resentful in
eir attitude, the residents of the
nia"ler towns have evinced no hoe-
lity. Dressed in their Sunday
othes the Germans attended church
3rvice and appeared surprised to
id among the congregations, in some
the places, a few of the enlisted

U. S. Men Apply for 'Leaves"
In the afternoon the children in the
llages made love frankly to any of
.e 'soldiers who would permit it,
ambored over the trucks, and were
ireproved by their parents, who
ailed their tolerance. The older
nongst the men and the women not
tly made no objection to billeting, as
d many in Coblenz and Treves, but
equently showed a desire to make
e men feel at home.
Wherever bands were in action the
ople crowded the street corners to
ten to the music, instead of hur-
ing to their homes, a situation that
d not exist when the invasion of
erman territory was begun two
eeks ago. Applications for leaves
absence already are on the' n-
ease, but it is notable that the mn
e not asking for permission to vis-
distant points, but merely to make
cursions to the picturesque Rhine
strict, where almost every valley
guarded by the ruins of a mediae-
.1 castle.

JEWS DESIRE OWN
LAND IN PALESTINE
(By Associated Press)
Philadelphia, Dec. 17. - The Amer-
ican Jewish congress tonight declared
a resolution for a Jewish common-
wealth in Palestine under the guid-
ance of Great Britain, acting in be-
half of such league of nations that
may be formed.
'The declaration was adopted amid
wild enthusiasm. The 400 delegates,
representing more than 3,000,000 mem-
bers of their race in the United
States, rose and sang Hatikvoh, the
Jewish anthem, expressing the hope
that Palestine soon shall be the home-
land of the Jews. This was followed
by the singing of the "Star Spangled
Banner" and the waving of the Amer-
ican and Jewish flags.
SOME FRATERNITY
HOUSES DAMAGED
Differenit companies have clearly
displayed their characteristics by the
conditions in which the fraternity
houses are now found to be. As
can be exepected the older houses
have suffered the most.
In view of a few examples mention
may be made of the Chi Psi house
which, no doubt, has suffered the
least, due to the fact that the build-
ing was used as an infirmary. The
Alpha Delta Phi house is in fair con-
dition. Two of the oldest houses on
the campus, the Psi Upsilon and Delta
Kappa Epsilon houses, show the ef-
fects of the rough treatment receiv-
ed at the hands of the companies that
were quartered therein. In the Psi
U house there is a large hole burned
in the floor before the smoking room
fireplace and a stone railing of a
porch balcony is broken. The Phi
Delta Theta and Sigma Alpha Epsilon
houses are left in extremely good
condition.
Men are now working on.the Alpha
Delta Phi, Phi Sigma Kappa, Psi Ome-
ga, Xi Psi Phi, Phi Delta Theta, and
Sigma Alpha Epsilon houses.
EXPRESS COMPANY MONEY NOT
HERE; IN TOLEDO WITH-DRIVER
Two hundred thirty-six dollars and
eighty-eight cents and George Gum-
brecht, a driver for the American Ex-
press company, disappeared from Ann
Arbor late Monday afternoon. Be-
fore turning in his day's collections
Gumbrecht hired a taxicab to make
a run to Ypsilanti. When he failed
to put in an appearance at the office
late Monday night, the company noti-
fied the police. They have succeeded
in tracing him to Toledo. Toledo po-
lice are now looking for the man.

NEW ACCOUNTS FOR
BOCHES TO SETTLE
Paris (Correspondence of the As-
sociated Press).-Gassed money has
made its way to Paris to be spent
since the small townspeople refuse
to take it in trade. A Young Men's
Christian Association secretary in a
village protested when an aged wom-
an storekeeper refused the jet black
coins he offered, briefly explaining,
"No good."
"But," insisted the Red Triangle
man, "those coins are perfectly good.
They were new and shiny when I put
them in my pocket. I have been
through a gas attack and the fumes
have turned them black. See-"
And he took out his knife and
scraped until the bright metal was
revealed.
"Nonj" replied madame, still uncon-
vinced. "Ce n'est pas bon." And she
went on to explain that after a coin
had been gassed, she did not want to
have anything to do with it.
Finally the man who had made the
purchases was obliged to borrow
enough from a fellow-worker to pay
for what he had bought.
"It is bad enough to go through the
danger and discomfort of a gas attack
without having perfectly good money
ruined," mused the Y. M. C. A. man.
"This matter ought to be held against
the Boches- when the final settlement
comes. It is the worst of all their
crimes."
