The report notes scarce lubricants, closed buffet cars, and improvised provisions on routes from Switzerland toward Poland and Austria. The piece adds a product plug for Virginia-Carolina cigarettes as a contrast to the bleak travel scene.

German Mascot Adopted by Yank Soldiers in Coblenz
Chicago boy Joseph Finger three years old, taken to Germany by his father in 1914, may be restored to his mother Emma Fringer of South Chicago as he is adopted as a mascot by an American unit in Coblenz. Red Cross and Captain Peck aid in securing identity proofs for his return home. In Mexico City, reports say Zapata loyalists deserters from 16th infantry in Veracruz joined Celso Zepeda and now fight on front lines. 150 deserters remain. A Mexican official notes dark-haired people marry sooner than fair-haired individuals.
