UNITED STATES
To KEEP TROOPS

One American Regiment to Stay
With French and English
MADE UP OF VOLUNTEERS
Decision to Keep Troops in Germany
Victory for Marshal
Foch

Coblenz, June 15.-American troops
in small numbers are to remain on
the Rhine for period OF years, ac-
cording to information, apparently au
thentic, reaching the headquarters of
the American Army OF Occupation
from Paris.
According to this report, the latest
Allied plans for the occupation of Ger
man territory call for the retention
of one regiment of Americans, one
brigade Of British, and ten French di-
visions, to perform that task.
II this should be the final solution
it would represent a partial victory
for the contentious of Marshal Foch
as to occupation He favored having
British and Americans share the bur
den fully with the French, failing
that, he advocated the retention of at
least some sort of military unit by
the Americans and the British in the
army of occupation.
Three days before the peace condi
tlons were handed to the Germans al
Versailles on May /, President vii
son and Premier Lloyd George notifi
ed the Peace Conference that Ameri
cans and British would not take part
in a long occupation OF German ter
ritory. On May at noon was told
in the Hotel Crillon at Paris. by q
member OF the American peace dele
CATION that no American troops
would be kept on the Rhine after
peace had been signed and that the
American section of the army Of oc
ctpation would be gotten away a;
quickly as possible after the Germans
affixed their signature. The latest re
ports indicate that this stand by tht
Americans has been altered to ALLOW
for the retention of few thousanG
men or tse Rslis.f --@s4.
According to the plan as outlined
the men composing this regimen
would not come from the First, Sec
opd, Third, Fourth or Fifth Divisions
comprising the present army of oC
cuEation, but the regiment would b
made up of volunteers recruited il
America for overseas duty. Som
thousands OF these men are alread
on the way to the Rhine.
