p: WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OP
£: OCCUPATION, Feb. 6 (Correspond*
£: euce of the Associated Press).—In its
:£ march across Rhenish Prussia toward
£: the Rhine, the American army of oc
% oupation was preceded by two rall
:£ road exploration crews of engineers,
i:;: Whose duty it was to make sure that
:£ the lines of communication were
g: ready to operate. The engineers trav
;!•: eled in special trains.
:*:• In one instance the special train of
£: Colonel Albert E. Pierce, of Eau
:£ Claire, Wis., commanding the Thirty
£: seventh Engineers, was fired upon by
£: snipers in the initial trip of an Araeri
can force over the rail line between
£: Trier and Bitburg on the day when
the Americans first stepped across the
line into Rhenish Prussia. None of
the shots took effect,
iji Company E of the Thirty-seventh
£ Engineers did the pioneering between
jjj Trier and Coblenz along the Moselle
valley, while Company F explored the
... northern route, traveling by way of
:;i Bitburg.
jj: Reports had been received that the
tracks had been mined at various
>•: places and owing to this fact the
£ trains proceeded rather slowly and
traveled by daylight. Each train had
£ two locomotives and about twenty
£ cars. Lookouts were posted upon the
£ pilot of the “lead” locomotive and
£ stops were made at each bridge and
£ culvert to ascertain whether any of
£ them had been tampered with by the
£ withdrawing German soldiers.
£ Deserted roundhouses were encount
£ ered in several towns, and even in
this part of Germany untouched by
actual war, there W'as a suggestion
s along the railroad lines that ail of the
railroad employes had joined the army
in its withdrawal across the Rhine.
All along the lines the engineers
found the switch towers deserted and,
in the trip from Trier to Coblenz, at
no point did any German officials
make any attempt to stop them or
even inquire into their mission. The
Germans had left no records, so far
as the Americans knew, of their com
plicated interlocking system of tracks
and at various points it was neces
sary to try many combinstiytfr jo
switch a train from one track to an
other. The engineers encountered no
obstructions anywhere.
The Thirty-seventh Engineers, com
posed of sixteen hundred men, was
organized at Fort Myer. The regi
ment is composed of picked men from
thirty-eight army camps and the per
sonnel represents every state in the
Union. The Thirty-seventh left Cob
lenz for home January 11, being the
first regiment of the army of occu
pation to leave the Rhine for the
States.

RELIEF WORK DIFFICULTY
IN STRICKEN SERBIA
DEDEAOATCH, Bulgaria, Feb. 1, via
London (Correspondence of the Asso
ciated Press).—The extreme difficulty
of transport through Serbia, and the
ruinous condition of the country's
railways as a result of wanton de
strubtion wrought by Bulgarians and
Austrians in their forced retreat, is
strikingly shown by the fact that the
American Red Cross, in order to get
relief supplies to the Nish section, has
had to route its shipments by rail
east from Saloniki to Dedeagatch, then
north to Adrlanople, then west to Sofia
and finally across the Bulgarian bor
der to Pirot, a total distance of more
than eight .hundred miles.
The regular railroad route north
from Saloniki to Nish is only about
275 miles, and can be traveled in or
dinary circumstances in twenty-four
hours. Red Cross supplies have taken
ten days to reach their destination.
From Uskub to Belgrade, nearly
three hundred miles, the railroad at
points Is wholly destroyed, and doz
ens of bridges and tunnels are in
ruins. It is estimated that the work
of reconstruction will require more
than a year.
Two hundred and nineteen three-ton
motor trucks, on a record trip to Nish,
arrived with only thirty tons of sup
plies.
The allied military authorities have
ceased trying to reach northern Ser
bia from Saloniki and the south, and
are sending people and supplies by
ship to Fiume, on the Adriatic. The
food and clothing situation in north
ern Serbia is reported to be very
acute. Ordinary peasants’ working
dress is said to cost 1,200 francs, and
a cake of soap 30 francs. The Ameri
can Red Cross is sending large quanti
ties of food, clothing and medical sup
plies south through Fiume.
PORTO RICAN WORKERS
ARE RETURNING HOME
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, March 1,—
More than 1,100 Porto Rican war
workers in the United States have
just returned to the island, well
dressed, prosperous, and in high spir
its. Most of them confessed they had
real money in their pockets, some
quite comfortable amounts, and they
seemed to enjoy their free trip to the
United States. Most of them appeared
to have become quite metropolitan in
drfeee and bearing. Some left the
steamship pier to go to their homes
in automobiles.
One war-worker gave his impres
sions of New York by saying it was
“too cold and there was no rice and
beans, Porto Rican style.” The men
had been working in places from New
York to New Orleans. Many of them
said the only reason they returned
was that they could not stand the
cold weather.
Virtually all the Porto Rican work
ers now have returned frofn the Unit
ed States.
