\\ itli the American Army of Occu-j
nation, Dec. 6.—General Pershing, the j
American eomniander-in-chlef, has !
lssu® a proclamation calling upon
the people in the territory occupied j
by the American army of occupation j
to return to their normal pursuits, j
The proclamation assures them that ;
if the conduct of military affairs is
not molested and if good order is
kept they will not be interfered with, j
"The American army will govern i
kin strict accordance with interna-1
tional latv and the rules and customs
of war sanctioned by the civilized
world," the proclamation says. The I
Americans will rule sternly, but Gen
eral Pershing says "No law-abiding !
person need have any fear."
Crowds It end Proclamation
The proclamation gives information
of the places American forces will I
occupy under the terms of the armis- j
lice and explains in detail which j
towns will be garrisoned and which j
will he merely included in occupied
territory. This proclamation, posted
on walls In different places, has been j
read carefully by crowds, but there
has been no sign of emotion evident.
The towns through which the troops
passed on Monday presented an ap
peuranee similar to those entered on
Sunday. Blinds were drawn in many
tases and most of the inhabitants re
mained indoors rather than counte
nance tiie invasion by witnessing it. j
The children in the towns occupied;
on the tlrst day of the advance and ]
to-day failed to restrain their child- |
ish enthusiasm, but the attitude of j
the grown-ups was unaltered. At |
Treves. 130 airplanes were found j
ready for delivery to the Allies. A !
small quantity of supplies also was j
lift there by the Germans.
Prices of Food Arc Hlgli i
Reports made to General Smith in- j
dicate that, while foodstuffs are i
limited as to variety, there apparent
ly is enough to meet the needs of the
people. Prices, however, are very I
high.
General Pershing's reassurance |
1 us gone far to alleviate anxiety that j
even the phlegmatic inhabitants fail !
to conceal.
Continuing, the proclamation reads: j
"The American army is not come
to make war on a civilian population.
All persons who, with honest submis
sion, act peacefully and obey the
rules laid down by the military au
thorities will be protected in their
persons, homes, religion and property.
All others will be brought within
the rule of firmness, vigor and
promptness. The American army
will govern in strict accordance with
international law and the rules and
customs of war sanctioned ty the
civilized world.
Inhabitants Must He Guarded
"Inhabitants, on their part, must
absolutely abstain in word and deed
from every act of hostility or impedi
ment of any kind toward the Ameri
can forces. It is your duty now to■
devote yourselves to the orderly and
obedient conduct of your private lives
end affairs, the re-establishment of
normal conditions In schools,
churches, hospitals and charitable in
stitutions and the resumption of your
local civil life,
"You will be urlobstructed, but. on
the contrary, will be encouraged and
protected in those pursuits. So far
as your attitude and conduct make
it possible, local courts, governing
bodies and Institutions will be con
tinued in operation under supervi
sion of American authorities. Except
where they affect the rights and se
.ut'ity of the American army, your
present laws and regulations will ;
remain undisturbed and in force. I
Every violation of the laws of war,
every act offering hostility or violence j
and every disobedience of the rdles !
laid down by military authority will j
be punished with the utmost vigor." |
Studied indifference again charac- :
terizes the Germaq reception of j
American troops on their way to the
Rhine. General Dlckntan's army re- j
newed its advance on Monday at day- ;
light and by night had reached the i
line approximately twelve miles to |
the eastward. Scores of additional ;
villages and small towns were
brought under the domination of the j
American army but none of them are ,
of great importance. I
At American headquarters in ,
Treves, General Brown, as military l
governor, and General Smith, who Is ;
In charge of civil affairs, have begun j
the work of administration. Local j
authorities in virtually every com- J
inunity have agreed to retain their
posts and co-operate In the mainte

PRESIDENT LEADS FIRST LADY OF
LAND TO TRANSPORT'S LIFEBOATS
By Associated Press
ON lIOAKD U. S. S. GEOIMJE WASHINGTON", Deo. 6.—President
Wilson yesterday faced tlic test that the American troops hnve been
undergoing oil their way to France. The American Executive was
forced hastily to don a life preserver and prepare to ulmndon a ship
which theoretically had been attacked by a submarine.
In tlnj afternoon the alarm bell and the "buzzer" In the President's
apartment gave the signal to prepare to take to the lioats.
Previously having been instructed by Captain McCauley, President
Wilson lert his ofllce and called Mrs. Wilson and led her to a lifeboat.
The President assisted Mrs. Wilson In adjusting her life preserver,
and then they stood in line waiting.
Meantime, all the ship's company was doing the same as the
President.
The drill was perfectly conducted and the people on board the
George Washington could have abandoned ship in ten minutes.
There was a steadily roughening sea, and the convoying destroyers
looked like big submarines awash. 'Hie heavy swells at some times
made things uncomfortable for those not used to the sea, but Presi
dent Wilson seemingly was enjoying the trip.
Seven or the twelve destroyers escorting the George Washington
turned back during the day.
ALL-NLGHT SALOON IS
PASSING AS LIQUOR
LOSES ITS POPULARITY
Few Bars Remain Open After Midnight, While Others
Close an Hour Later; Police Glad to See
Change Suggested by Dealers
The ull night drinking saloon is
rapidly passing in Harrisburg. From
scores, the number of liquor dispen
saries which operate twenty-four
hours daily, has decreased to a
meager two or three, it was learned
to-day.
Midnight and 1 o'clock in the
morning is the closing hour for many
saloons now although in u few cases
they are not closed until a little
later. One by one, however, the
saloonkeepers are adopting the ulti
matum of public opinion, and are
closing up at midnight. The Market
street barrooms now are as a rule
darkened at midnight.
There are several reasons for the
almost universal adoption in the
city of a closing hour. The principal
reuson Is that men are not drinking
liquor with the free abandon they
formerly did. Saloon men do not as
sign a reason for the falling off in
numbers of their devotees, but It is
generally conceded that men are no
longer willing to waste so much
money for intoxicants.
Public Opinion
The Liquor Dealers' Association, it
is understood, long has been in favor

Increase in Pay For
School Teachers Advocated
A committee of school directors
may bef appointed at the regular
meeting of the board this afternoon,
to co-operate in securing the passage
of an appropriation by the Legisla
ture which will provide for an in
crease of 25 per cent, in teachers'
salaries. It is understood the plan
favored throughout the state is to
have the state furnish the funds
needed for the salary increase on
the condition that school district

10 INCHES OF SNOW IN MAINE
' Bangor, Dec. G.—Ten inches of
snow fell in this section yesterday.
Traffic was impeded considerably.
of a closing hour for bars. The pres
sure of public opinion and other
agencies finally is bringing the sa
loon men around to the same opin
ion.
It has been pointed out that if
saloons closed at. 11 o'clock, or even
midnight, it would work measureless
good in the community. Men who
lose their restraint on their appe
tites and remain up until 2 and 3
o'clock drinking, are Incapacitated
for work next day. If saloons order
ed out all drinkers before midnight,
the probabilities would be that they
would get home to bed and be able
to work in the morning.
Police welcome the passing of the
all night saloon. Much of the crime
recorded in the police records occur
after 2 and 3 o'clock in the morn
ing, when the drunken habitues of
vicious drinking places begin their
uncertain courses homeward or to
places worse.
Several of the most popular and
fumous all-night places have closed
within the last month. The disap
pearance of old standbys from the
bars is reported to have caused the
shut downs.

Efforts have been made In the last
half dozen legislative sessions to
have songs adopted as the official

appeared to be too strong. Two
songs, those written by George J.
Brennan and John E. Barrett have
attracted wide attention and have
been extensively sung. The Brennan
song was tlrst in the field. Each is
characterized by a splendid spirit
and the music written for them is
most attractive. Mr, Brennan has

Stockholm, Dec. 6. Fugi
tives from Russia who have
, reached here say the famine in
Petrograd is terrible. • Her
rings are the only food obtain
able and sell for five rubles
each. All middle-class elements
; are excluded from public eat
| inghouses and are dying of star
vation by thousands.
Of a normal population of
two millions, only half a mil
lion is left in Petrograd. The
city looks deserted. Half of all
the flats are 'occupied by Red
! Guards and their families. Ho
; tels, restaurants, cafes and of
-1 fices are closed. The bouses of
the middle classes are deserted,
their furniture stolen and win
dows smashed.
Many widely-known persons
j have been shot or have starved
:to death recently. Rumors of
1 approaching Entente irjterven
jtion have increased Bolshevis
tic cruelty.
