YANKS ARE TOO GENEROUS

Germans Complain That They Spend Too Much on Girls. Among the civilians In the American occupied area complaints, originating with the German men, are often heard to the effect that the American soldiers are “spoiling” the German girls by heaping luxuries upon them and by spending money recklessly for presents, wines and good things to eat. Sipce the antl-fraternlzation regulation was revoked by army headquarters several weeks ago the cases in Coblenz have been crowded each night with soldiers and frauleins, and many of the German men have openly asserted that the Americans were entirely too considerate of the German women and girts. i Cases In Coblenz and other towns in the zone held by United States troops have been doing lately the greatest business of their existence. One In Coblenz, which is conducted by two Americans who recently obtained their discharge from the army, seats 2,200 persons. Yet on Sunday afternoons and .evenings the crowd becomes so great, Americans and Germans altogether, that on several occasions the military police had to be called to maintain order.
