JAMES Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger Copyright, HIS, bu Sew York Timet Co. Metr, Nov. 20. Metz came back to France yesterday (Tuesday), Metz. which forty-seven years ago the gods of war took away j from France, today the gods of war gave I back to France. For last night Petain nnd his conquering poilus entered the metrop-1 . oils of Lorraine, whllo from the lofty eplre of the noble cathedral pealed tho bell that for almost half a centry had pealed when tho German Kaiser came to town j and every passing pollu saw In front I of tho cathedral "Wllhelm" In chains. I Years ago Wllhelm had the head taken I from the statue of the Prophet Daniel I and hlB own likeness put thereon To-1 day Wllhelm worn the chains while from his piously raised hands hung a placard which, said to the world: "Slo transit gloria mundi " There were no Americans in tho til umphal entry Into Metz because it was most fitting that tho ceremony which meant to France the crowning victory should be purely French But from the tower and tho portal I saw flying the Stars and Stripes, and fifty or more Americans who got here to .vee the cere-, mony were welcome guests. Tho American army of occupation made no advance yesterday, awaiting or ders. Therefore, after tiling my dispatch from American headquarters, I went to Metz to seo tho historic entrv of the conquering French fighting nun Popular Sfrmril Duzeil The thing was too big to grasp, too much for the 70,000 population to real ize. They seemed dazed Down the faces of the aged men and women n-hn were French before Germany stole Lor- ' ralne tears of Joy ran In streams. Hut I the great mass of the population seemed ! dazed. They cheered nnd cheered, these younger folk, but I thought the tears ! of the old folks best told the story of Metz. I It was Incongruous to hear olces in German praising the appearance of I Frenfh poilus, but they meant it none the less, with few exceptions. One could , not expect the enthusiasm of Paris, for theso folk, most of them, were born under German misrule, nnd the German touch could not be rubbed off in one day, as It will bo In the happy years to come. Ono felt uncertain standing In tho great square, ono felt the at mosphere strained, until some one yelled for the Kaiser when Petain pasted, and after the pollco rescued that man I felt again reassured and knew Metz was really glad she was French again. " ws auBuroinsiy interesting to find , that the people had been told by the departing Germans that Lorraine and ', Alsace were to be independent because I America wisneu it, ana people to whom ' J talked told me that Metz was to bs the capital of the new republic. I They had been told, too, that the Americans would occupy Metz It is no wonder they were dazed when the French troops marched Into town and when they learned that Metz was again to bo really Frcncn. i German lfl n Cunt Jt was these sudden developments which dazed Metz. Tho Germans had left a curse upon its Joy, even on the day of their leaving. For. after all. there was no doubt Metz was glad. To the Germans who assert that It is really more than half Teuton I' would tell the story of the French flags which flew there today. The German com manders would not allow the factories to make French flags against the com ing of this great day. and so the women tet. out to make them. They could buy white nnd red cloth, colors of part of the, German flag, but when it came to blue they found that the supply had been corralled and the price advanced, It cost $20 to get enough blue for one flag. But those flags flew by the thousand today. I take that to mean that Metz Is really French at heart Traces of the German curse remained -more than traces and it will take years to wipe them out It will take 'much longer than it took to pull down the statue of Frederick the fjreat yester day much longer than It will tnke to rename the streets with French names ; but the cleansing can and win be done Mystery Veils German Revolt Continued front Paen One We .know that both the civilian and the military population will show how they honor him and will refrain from any manifestation against him." SEES GERMAN PLOT TO SPLIT ALLIES London, Nov 20. (Hy P ) Sir George Cave who recently resigned from the position of Secretary of State for the Home Department In the Lloyd Qeorre cabinet and was elevated to the peerage, In speaking In the House of Lords last night said that, although there was a pause In hostilities, the enemy's actlvl , ties have not ceased. , "Germany has already begun to try to destroy the unity of the- Allies and our unity at home," he said. "I believe there Is a close alliance between Bol- - shevlsm and Germany. 1 have had evidence of this during the last week." ,' Regarding the press bureau, he saw no reason why it should be abolished. 1 He said that he saw, only the other day, press cables from Russia which were "obviously false and Intended for .propaganda purposes." '"rVe ought not to relinquish the weapons provided by the defense of the realm act for dealing with Bolshe- , .A'Ism." he said, "A bill continuing the '-' aliens, act of 1914 should be Introduced In the next Parliament enabling the &' fc 'Government to ImpoBe restrictions upon A''3-7 (the landing of enemy aliens."

GERMAN PEOPLE ASK ONLY PEACE Majority Interest in Revo lution Limited to End ing War DONT WANT BLOODSHED Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger r'oili tuht. 9H. bv Xnr Ynrk Titnrs f'n. The lliijrue, Nov 20. Conditions are constantly fluctuating in Germany, but in well-informed quar ters tliM opinion is prevalent that the rmolutlori will continue to be, well or ganized and bloodlfss. A lellablo Informant who has Just returned from a trip along tho Indus, trial districts of the German-lAitch frontier, which Is nmv cpen, and who has talked to many nrrnians, says that tho people are determined to have no bloodshed. Tho main aim of the work ing class Is to live peacefully and earn a living wage. The soldiers want tn return home They don't caro much what tho Kntentc conditions are, nnd do not appear Im pressed by tho arm'stice terms. They expected r-uch terms and would gladly haxe had them sooner. According to the evidence of many workmen on the frontier, food conditions are exaggerated In the press. This Is done obviously to appeal to tho Entente sympathies. While conditions in the towns are bad, they are good in the country In fact. the compare favor ably with those In Holland, nnd laborers are well paid, Worlcmrn said that the Kaiser was not so bad. but that the men who sur lounded lilm were responsible for the war It Is considered possible that the Kaiser will be asked eventually to re turn to the throne, as theru aro many who still cling to hlni Thn present regime In Germany means Immediate peaco to the majority of Ger mans, who do not care about the aims or policy of the new republic. Once peace Is concluded It N douthful whether the Government will contlnuo to have the support of the majority. From first hand evldenco obtained on several sections of tho front it Is cer tain that the soldiers anil olllcers there havo not been yet seriously affected by tho revolutionary spirit, although many are returning home without permission, as they are sick of the war. At I. lege one hears of a soldiers' coun cil nnd sees red flags, hut an Informant returning yesterday from Liege states that there Is no question of a revolu tion among the soldiers. A few red flags wave among the Allied flags, but there Is no serious disorder. Tho soldiers at the front have been kept In Ignorance of dcelopments at home, and only wel comed tho Kaiser's abdication because It spelled peace. Our Display of Unfadable ZZT.

Senator Knox's criti cism of the Administration during the campaign has weakened his chances Ex-Congressman Frederick Stevens nitmo Is mentioned, but his appoint ment Is unlikely. In short, Mr. "VI1 son is In a dllemna over the choice of a Republican member of his peace commission. On the Democratic side there is less dlfllrulty. Discussion revokes around the names of Colonel House. Secretaries Lansing, Baker nnd Hou ston, Justice Brandois and Senators Hitchcock and Walsh. It Is under stood that tho Democratic members of the commission have not been se lected. The problem of naming A Re publican or two is the big problem.

Since fate In September the Bolshevlkl havo been trying stubbornly but fruit lessly to drlvo the Allied forces up the Dvlna to north of Its Junction with the Vaga, Tho small amount of Ice In the river at this time of tho year Is helping the enemy gunboats. Tho Bolshevlkl apparently possess a large number of rlvrccraft on which to moint navat guns brought from Pctrograd. As long as tho enemy gunboats nrc able to move, the Americans nnd British are combating grcnt odds. But the enemy Infantry Is no match for the Allies, tho Bolshevik losses In killed, wounded nnd captured being at least live times that of the Allies, In their attack, November 11, tho Bol shevlkl advanced to the gun posltlonn of the Canadian nrtlllcry. The guns continued to fire nt point-blank rango and tho ground beforo them soon whs heaped with enemy dead.
