AMERICANS SORT MAIL IN FORMER KAISER’S OFFICE.

American soldiers employed in the United States postoffice in Coblenz have been sorting mail in schoolrooms Which, during the early days of the war, were used by the then German emperor fbr holding councils of war with his chiefs. Soon after the beginning of the war in 1914, the emperor was in 'Coblenz several months, spending several hours each day with army generals, who were then using the school house as an army headquarters. The school building is near the center of town and several large rooms on the first floor were taken over flor the army postoffice a few days after the Americans took over the Coblenz bridgehead last December.
