Coming of Armies Creates Pro
found Impression Among
People; Soldiers Stop
Pillaging.
Maence, Dec. 16. (By Associated
Press.) Entry of Generals Fayolle
and Mangin into Maence created a
profound impression among tliat
part of the population that did not
remain indoors. It was one of the
Most lyipnmrahle ceremonies of the
occupation.
The strong guard o? French troops
requested by the authorities of the
city had put an end to the pillaging
of the military stores December 7.
Their conduct since tliat time had
won most favorable comment on the
part of the citizens and officials and
that impression was strengthened
when the men of the 10th army
marched through Mayence with the
ame dignity that has characterized
the forward movement of the French
verywhere into (iermau territory.
The Frenchmen swung through
the old Hessian town which was
French for a score of years after oc
cupation by the revolutionary army
with the business-like gait so famil
iar in the last four and a half years,
ipparently unconscious that they
were victors inarching into the con
quered town of an adversary. The
attitude of officers and men greatly
iacilitated the task of occupation.
The people of. Mayence maintained
greater reserve than the inhabitants
)i the other towns occupied by the
French. Many of the houses ami
buildings were tightly closed, a d a
large proportion of the people on
the streets were women and chil
dren. Burgomaster Makes Speech.
After a review of the troops of
the 10th army, General Fayolle and
General Mangin we-e presented to
(he city and provincial authorities in
the old Hessian grand ducal palace.
The burgomaster, the president of
the provincial government and the
president of the Chamber of Com
merce advised with General Fayolle,
expressing the hope that the mili
tary authorities would co-operate
with theni in maintaining order and
keeping the economic life of the
region going.
General Fayolle. in reply, re
minded them that the war imposed
by Germany was one of the most
cruel and unjust in history. It drew
a picture of the devastation in
France' and Belgium and the distress
of the families wilhout shelter, their
goods, products and manufacturing
machinery having been carried off
into Germany and their soil of the
desert.
The general recalled how. after re
peated defeats since July 15, the Ger
mans had been obliged to ask for an
armistice. He assured the authori
ties that however natural reprisals
might be considered, they had noth
ing to fear from the troops of oc
cupation, cither for their persons or
posscsshuis, so long as they realized
the situation and accepted the
French occupation in a proper spirit.

during our conversation."
Asked why she had left Germany

1ary operations, the grand duchess
replied:
"I could not -remain in a country
which had declared war on my own
country Russia. This war came as
