Washington, Nov." IS. Cessation of hostilities iir- Europe and disap pearance of the prospect of meeting the enemy on', the battlefield has brought an immediate loss of morale ' among American troops at home that is regarded at the War depart ment as somewhat alarming. It is understood that steps to deal with the situation already are being pre pared. I Reports from all divisions on No vember II, the date of the armistice, without exception contained glow ing references to the high spirit of Die men and to their evident desire for early embarkation. Upon news that the armistice had been signed, the nientat attitude of. the individual soldier is said to have undergone a marked change. Overstay Leaves. Some commanding officers report that their men are exhibiting a tendency to view themselves as al ready released from the strict rou tine of the camps. Hundreds of cases are listed of men who, having been rrantcd the usual 36-hour week-end leave, failed to return to camp on tune. These men automatically are charged with being "absent without leave," an offense but slightly less heinous than desertion under mili tary law. Regulations prescribe cap- ltal punishment in flagrant cases, but 1 FredHohenzollern Has Arrived for Short Stay in Holland, is Report Amsterdam, Nov. IS. Crown Prince Frederick Wilhelm of Ger many arrived at Maastricht on Tuesday from Spa, having taken a circuitous route in order to avoid mutinous tropps. The party, which traveled in three motor , cars, was held up by frontier guards because all its members were armed. Internment was or dered,, but when it became known that one of the party was the crown prince, all were disarmed and detained until the arrival of the 'Dutch commander at Maast richt and other officials. The crown prince accompanied the commander to the tetter's home, where he remains, with his suite, under guard, pending in structions frbm The Hague. , - Amsterdam, Thursday, Nov. 14. Officers of the German air serv- s ice have taken the German crown prince and his eldest son to a xplace of safety, according to the Tageblatt of Berlin. the custom has been to inflict, at most, only heavy prison terms. The whole question of how the morale of recently inducted soldiers can be kept up is considered one re quiring serious attention. It is un derstood that the first step will be to ask relatives of soldiers who have absented themselves to assist the authorities in having them return promptly to spare the fami lies the disgrace of having an armed guard sent, and with a view to miti gating the punishment of the offenders.

HINDENBURG AND FALKENHAUSEN BOTH FOR PEACE German Generals Develop Pa - cifist Tendencies in Mes sages to Brussels ' City is Calm. Ghent, Nov. 15. (By Associated Press.) There is no organized au thority yet in Brussels, but with comparative calm and dignity the Belgian capital awaits the coming of til armies of liberation.

"Three million Germans have been killed during the war," he said. "That is sufficient. Let us have peace." General von Falkenhausen, the German governor general of Bel gium, received the delegates, and in the meantime French and Belgian socialists addressed the crowd. Let Us Have Peace. A letter has been received from Field Marshal von Hindenburg, who was at Bingen-On-The-Rhine. It was read to the crowd. It said: "I am heartily in sympathy with the regenerative movement. Sol diers must obey the orders of the supreme soldiers' committee. Let us have peace." Some soldiers then entered the park, which had been closed to the public for four years.
