8 40,000 PERSHING SOLDIERS ENTER CITYOFCOBLENZ Royal Castle, Summer Pal ace of Wilhelm, Guarded by Yankee Troops By Associated Press Ooblcnz, Dec. 18. —Approximately forty thousand Amorlcan troops have arrived at Coblena since the advance guard reached here a week ago. A large number of these troops have passed through the city, while con siderable forces will remain here temporarily. The largest hotel In Coblenz, over looking the Rhine and the two bridges whore most of the troops cross the river, has been taken over as .quartere for Third army officers. The headquarters of the Third army are established In a government building adjoining the hotel. During Sunday various detach ments of Infantry and artillery pass ad through Coblena on their way to join the divisions east of the Rhine. Churchgoers viewed the marching troops with much Interest. Late in the afternoon the Third division, SPANISH INFLUENZA MOKE DEADLY THAN WAR Said That Epidemic Cost More Lives Than American Loss in Battle. Danger Not Over. Great Care Nec essary to Prevent Further Outbreak. The appalling ravages of Spanish j' Influenxa in ibis country are perhaps best realized by the statement re cently made, that more deaths have resulted In little more than a month from this disease than through our whole eighteen months participation in the battles of the European War, J Our greatest danger now, declare authorities, is the great American tendency to forget easily and to be lieve the peril la over. Competent authorities claim the coming of cold weather la very apt te bring a re turn of tbia disease and there should be no let-up throughout the winter • inonths of the following easily ob served precautions, reiueiufeoring that Influenza ia far easier to prevent tliun cure. Influenza Is a crowd disease. Avoid crowds as much as possible. Influ enza germs spread when ignorant or careless persons sneeze or cough with out using a handkerchief. Cover up each cough or sneeze. Do not spit on the floor, sldetvalk. In street cars or public places. Avoid the use of com mon drinking cups and roller towels In public plaoes. Breathe some reliable germicidal and antiseptic air to de stroy the germs that do And lodge ment In your nose and throat. • Remember, no safer precaution against Influenza could bo employed In this manner than to get from the nearest drug store a complete Hyomel Outflt consisting of a bottle of the Pure oil of Hyomel and a little vest-pocket hard rubber Inhaling device, into whloh a few drops of the oil are poured. You should carry this Inhaler about with you during the day and each half hour or so put it in your mouth and draw deep breaths of its pure, healing germ killing air into the passages of your nose, throat and lungs. By destroying germs before they Actually begin work In your blood, ysu may make yourself practically Immune to Infection. All these suggestions about Span ish Influenza are equally true in the prevention of colds, catarrh of nose and throat, bronchitis and even pneu monia. Don't become careless. Do your part. Keep the germs away. You may save yourself a serious Ill ness and the loss of several weeks work. On sale by H. C. Kennedy.

All the larger hotels here have been taken over by the Americans for billeting purposes, as well as many of the public buildings, which are being used as offices. The royal castle in Coblenz, known as one of the former German Em peror's summer palaces, now Is un der guard by American troops. The , palace stands on the banks of the ! Rhine, a stone's throw from the business center of Coblenz. The palace is surrounded by, "royal gardens" and contains many articles of historic Interest, in addi tion to silverware and other belong ings of William I, who once occu pied the building. Since the arrival of the Americans I there have been several attempts to. remove noirn of the valuables in the \ palace. Therefore, It was decided that; the guard should bo placed around | the house as a precaution against j the furniture and other things In side being disturbed. The royal barracks within' the* palace gardens is occupied by Amer ican troops, but thus far the Amer icans have not entered the palace Itself. By degree of the American mili tary authorities the clocks at Co blenz, Treves and elsewhere In the occupied area were setback an hour on Sunday. The change from the, German time was made so that the i clocks within the bridgehead and: the district west of the river Rhine ' would correspond with the French ; time or the time used by the Amer ican Expeditionary Force. In accordance with the terms of the armistice the Germans on Sun dny turned over to the Americans > 1,260 motor trucks. About 600 of, these trucks have been assembled at j Coblenz and the others in two vll- : luges nearby. As rapidly as pos- | slble the former German army i trucks are being manned by Amer- j leans and used to bring up sup plies. I German built trucks, driven by | Americans, rumbled through the 1 streets of Coblenz on Sunday but they did not attract much atten tion, the civilians having become ac customed to the sound made by iron tires rolling along the cobbled streets. Would Give Soldiers Jobs in Mail Service Washington, Dec. 18. —Many con gressmen arc beginning to wonder If it would not be a good thing to give returning soldiers employment in the Post Office Department. The inefficient handling of the mails has been occasioning endless complaints for months, but it was explained that it was a war condi tion and any protest was unpatrio tic. Complaints about the mall ser vice are nation-wide, and are grow ing in volume. It Is said that much of the trou ble is due to an unreasonable econ omy which cuts down the number of clerks to the point where good serv ice Is out of the question.
