BOYS ALL TO BE
HOME BY AUGUST
Secretary Of War Baker Announces
That Last Man Of American Expedi-
tionary Force Will Be Withdrawn
From France This Summer-None in
Army Of Occupation Now.

Washington. May 7--Secretary Baker
announced today that by August the
last man of the American expedition
airy forces viii have been Withdrawn
from France. He said that this was
estimated on the basis Of the move
meut OF 100000 men a month TO the
United States.
Already Mr.. Baker said. the Ameri-
can forces in France have been divor-
ced from the army OF occupation.
Plans have been completed to supply
the force in Germany thru the ports
OF Antwerp and Rotterdam, removing
the necessity OF maintaining the 700-
mile line of communication from Brest.
The French ports will be maintained,
however, for the withdrawal OF the
American eXpeditionary forces.
More than half Of the eXpeditionary
force has now left France, Mr.. Gakcr
said, and as the withdrawal progress
ses the facilities which were used for
those forces are being turned back to
their private owners or the numicipali-
ties to which they belong.
