ON THE RHINE
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
OF OCCUPATION, March 18— (Cor
respondence of The Associated Pie s)
In its march across Rheinish Prussia
toward the Rhine, the American Army
of Occupation was proceeded by two
railroad exploration crews of engin
eers, whose duty was to make su*-©
that the lines of communication were
ready to operate. The engineers trav
elled in special trains.
In one instance the special train of
Colonel Albert E. Pierce, of Eauclaire,
Win., commanding the Thirty-Seventh
SEWARD, ALASKA.
LUMBER and BUILDERS
i
Engineers, was fired upon by snipers
in the initial trip of an American
force over the rail line between tier;
and Bitburg on the day when the Am- j
erica ns first stepped across the line
into Rhenish Prussia. None of the
shots took effect.
Company E. of the Thirty-Seventh
Engineers did the pioneering between
Trier and Coblenz along the Moselle
valley, while Company K explored the
northern route traveling by way of
Bitburg.
Reports had been received that the
tracks had been mined at various plat
es* and owing to this fact the trains
proceeded rather slowly and travelled
only by daylight. Each train had two
locomotives and about twenty cars.
Lookouts were posted upon the pilot
of the “lead” locomotive and stop*
were made at each bridge and culver;
to ascertain whether any of them had
been tampered with by the withdraw
ing German soldiers.
Deserted roundhouses were encoun
tered in several towns, and even in
this, part of Germany untouched by
actual war there was a suggestion
along: the railroad lines that all of the
railroad employes had joined the army
:n its withdrawal across the Rhine.
All along: the lines the engineer
found the switch towers deserted and
in the trip from Trier to Coblenz., a'
no point did any German officia1
make any attempt to stop them or ev
on inquire into their mission. The Ger
mans had left no records, so far as the
Americans knew, of their complicated
interlocking system of tracks and at
various points it was necessary to try
many combinations to switch a train
from one track to another. The engin
eers encountered no obstacles any
where.
The Thirty-Seventh Engineers,:
composed of sixteen hundred na n, was
organized at Foil Mycr. The regiment
is composed of picked men from thirty
eight army camps and the personal re
presents every state in the union. The
Thirty-Seventh left Coblenz for home
January 11, being the first leg men^
of the Army of Occupation to ieavr
the Rhine for the states.
