Divisions
To Stay Until
Peace Is Signed

COBLENZ, Tuesday, June "a
The three American divisions which
we're concentrated east of the Rhine
in the American bridgehead area
will remain there until the peace
treaty is actually signed, according
to an announcement made here today.
As soon as peace is signed the Amer
leans will begin to feturn to the quar-
ters they occupied before the con-
centration of week ago, which was
ordered by Marshal Foch in prepara-
ton for an advance mto Germany
should the Germans not accept the
peace conditions. 1t is expected the
troops will remain in these quarters
until orders come to start for home.
The third army consists of five di-
visions and the auxiliary units of the
Third corps, approximately 10000
men. Transportation officers said to-
day that the divisions and the various
units could be out of Germany by
August /, if general headquarters
gave orders to that effect.
According to present plans, the
Fifth division, which occupies part
of Luxembourg, will start for France
probably within day or two after
peace is signed. The Third and
Fourth divisions will be the next tc
move westward. The First and Sec.
ond divisions, which hold the east
bank of the Rhine, will be the last
to depart in the event that no com
plete American division is to remair
in Germany as part of the permanen
army of occupation.

Naturalization of
Land Asked For

SOUTHPORT, ENG, June 26.--I
United Press. THE National La
Dor Party opened its annual conven-
tion here yesterday the pafty's FIRST
formal gathering in its new role of
second strongest party IN England
and official opposition in the house
of commons.
Under the impetus OF the reviving
interest in national politics the con
ference will, it is anticipated, fur
nish the stage for an animated dis
cussion of large number of national
and international issues.
Today and tomorrow the party
chiefs hope to evolve a new program,
strong enough to enable them to
make a telling bid for victory in the
coming parliamentary struggle for
control of the government.
Rather wide differences of opinion
have arisen within the party itself
since last years conference, and the
line between right and left wings has
become more marked. In several in
stances the radicals have entered local
contests as a distinct party in oppo-
sition to the regular labor candidates
calling themselves the Socialist La
Dor Party"
A warm platform battle betweer
the factions is possible. 1t is certain
that the convention will be called up
on to consider a number of proposals
which year ago would have beer
regarded as radical.
: Both the Miners Federation o
Great Britain and the Independent
labor elements demand nationalist
} ton of land in England. A resolu
ton to this effect will be Introduce
. and the party urged to press tn
t question to a showdown.
t The following resolution has bee

the fire has never been learned, but
the impression prevails that the build

was also all its contents, and Mr..
Babb was unfortunate enough to hold

Half Democratic, Half Red?

What Lloyd Georges uttcranccs
means is that Western democracy has
lost its first battle with Eastern anar-
chy. Napoleon said that Europc would
be all republican or all Cossack within

America could not endure half slavo
ana half free; can Europe permanent

IL ought TO be reasonably clear that
giving up the fight in Russia does NOT
mean peace, but a new stare IN the
struggle between two totally different
orders OF ideas, the Western and the
Eastern, those of representative democ-
racy ana OF autocratic communism.

a choice between two grades, he
will take the cheaper. The great
obstacle in the way is the fact that
he seldom has any real choice. The
French government has very sem

a standard mans suit--a sort Of

duced and sold far below the price

been realized more suddenly and com

time.

to say that his government would not
make peace with the Bolshevists or
recognize any Russian government in
advance OF the holding of national
assembly. But this is merely throw
