being brought home by a double from
Faulkn.r's bat, who by the way, had
doubled in the previous inning. Maine

first base.
There Was no more scoring until the
sixth. In the fifth Nourse caught a
hard drive of the bat of Faulkner
with one out and a man on second

quarters of the Third Army will re-
main in Coblenz with Lieut.. Gen.
Hunter IigGett in command.
The task of paying bills and check
ing up property preparatory to turn
ing over the area to the French will
require q great mass of detail work,
but plans for the transfer of the
Americans from German soil have
advanced to such an extent in the
last few days that latest estimates
are that possibly by August the du-
ties of the great mass Of the Amer
leans in connection with occupation
will be virtually at an end and the
last doubhboy will have said good
bye to the Rhine.
The Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Sew
enth regular army divisions will be
turned over to the Service of Supply.
Various other units in the area Of
occupation also will be ordered to
France.
The Ninetieth division, consisting
principally of National Army men
from Texas and Oklahoma, has been
turned over to the Service of Supply
and is scheduled to start moving for
Brest within a week.
Plans have been prepared that
when the Germans sign the treaty
to begin moving the troops immedi-
ately. It is hoped to move eight
trains loaded with troops daily. The
equipment of the soldiers will be
shipped later. In the area from
which divisions are being withdrawn,
a certain number Of troops from va
rious American attachments will be
assigned to patrol duty pending the
arrival Of the French. This is con-
sidered necessary in the military
