Our line In Germany.

Marshal FocH's forces have now
generally reached their detectives to
the east Of the Rhine, and unless the
Allied High Command decides to oc-
cupy the neutral zone between the
bridgehead of Cologne and the Dutch
frontier we may look forward to no
troop movements beyond the lines
already established. The occupation
Of this neutral zone Is contingent on
the decision of the military leaders
that new guarantees are necessary
from Germany; presumably exact
compliance with other terms Of the
armistice by the Germans will render
II unnecessary.
Our own troops. with two French
divisions. have practically estab-
lished themselves In the semicircuar
area to the right of the Rhine which
they are to yhold. This area has n
radius roughly Of nineteen miles. Al
ready, according 10 dispatches from
the front, the soldiers are asking that
favorite question of armies: Where
do we 60 from here" For this ser
vice General PERsHINe has designated
divisions commonly described as be-
ing Of the Regular Army and the
National Guard, but 1t must be borne
in mind that the units composing
these divisions have been filled mp
from National Army drafts. On
August Of this year. in the words of
the Secretary of War, the "dlstin.
gushing appellatlons Regular Army,
National Guard and National Army
were ordered discontinued" and the
military forces now constitute the
United States Army"
While French troops share with ours
the occupation of this sector, Amerl.
can units are with the French further
up the Rhine. This intermingling OF
forces has been ordered 10 give an
international aspect to the occupa,
ton Of the German territory now held
In pawn by the Allies and the United
States. That this great forward move
ment should have been accomplished
without serious collisions with tht
civilian population Is extremely graft
flying, and testifies strongly TO the
high quality of the troops TO which II
was entrusted.
