FIRST OBJECTIVE HAS BEEN SELECTED
In Case of Renewal of War Allies Would Have
Job in Reorganizing German Industries

within fortnight IL the Germans rr
fuse to sign the peace treaty, bu;
this will be only the beginning Of the
allies activities.
After holding all the military CEN
ters, the allies will be compelled to
take over the administration OF Ger
many, and put the German people to
work. The enforcement OF the olock-
ade will keep food from entering
Germany for 1ndiscrminate distribu-
ton, but the allies will scarcely try
to compel the Germans to sign the
peace treaty by a deliberate poitcy
Of general starvation.
II the Germans remain stubborn
during the enforcement Of the block
ade, the reorganization. Of German
industries under tho direction OF the
allies will become necessary.
BY means Of military control. the
allies win have no difficulty In par
tttioning Germany graphically. ac-
cording to the requirements of the
peace treaty. But Marshal Foch can
not use his troops to collect the
money and ships Germany owes the
allies, because the actual cash isn't
to be had and the vessels are not yet
constructed.
This part OF the penalty Germany
must pay Is the most important part
from the a1lies' standpoint. To en-
force restitution, II Germany with
holds her signature from the peace
problem. 1t will be problem for
economic experts and statesmen, who
will use the army of occupation to
put the Germans at enforced labor,
Just as the Germans compelled the
Belgian population to work for Ger
many during the war.
War Department Plans.
WASHINGTON, JunA 20.-War de-
partment plans for action in case Of
the Germans refusal to sign the
treaty, are complete.
Strategic features Of the action,
military experts here say, would be
handled in France by Marshal Foch
and his aides, and 1t is not anticipated
that there would be need OF additional
American troops.
With these two phases Of the prob
lem out Of the way the work of the
department here would DE confined
almost wholly to sending supplies OF
ammunition, food and clothing and
this would involve additional effort
only in case of an extensive campaign
which is not considered likely.
Supplies. unhindered by the sub
marine menace, could go forward
without any friction, department Of
ffcials say. Testimony Of officers be-
fore congressional committees has re-
vealed that large surplus Of supplies
is on hand and 1t was indicated at the
department today that these stores
were for Just such an emergency as

COBLENz. June 19.--The Ameri-
can army's main objective, in case
Germany decides on war, will be
Cassel, 1t was learned from . reliable
source today. (Cassel is 125 miles
northeast Of Coblenz and on the di-
rect route to Berlin) The army
would move forward on thirty
seven-mile front, and its officers are
confident the Americans could cover
the entire present neutral zone In
the first day If hostilities were re-
sumed
The army Of occupation was astir
with preparations for war. Troops
east OF the Rhine were moving to
strategic positions for a quick dash
forward.
The first and second divisions. 1t
was said, would lead the invasion.
The first was mobilized at Mont@
baur (ten miles northeast of Co
blenz), while the second had left
Neuwied (eight miles northwest Of
Coblenz) and was moving up the
Lahr valley.
The seventeenth artillery moved
from the fortress Of Ehrenbreitstein
and was taking up positions in the
concentration zone. Signal corps
men were stringing new wires along
the roads and observation balloons
were moved up to the edge of the
occupied area The doughboys were
again sleeping in the open, and the
flicker of their fires at night re-
called the old pre-armistice days.
A hundred additional motor trucks
arrived today to aid in carrying the
infantry. Heavy French reinforce
ments come up daily and concentrate
in the rear Of the Americans. They
are mostly colonials, by whose side
the Yanks have often fought.
A high American officer predicted
today that should the army advance,
It would be "whirlwind affair" He
said little opposition would be looked
for until the allies were well on the
road to Cassel.
The fourth division, which already
had turned in its equipment prepara-
tory to starting home. has been re-
equipped.
Surrendered German war material
has been moved hundred miles
back from the Rhine. Passenger
service between Darmstadt and
Wurzburg was stopped for three
days to permit the transportation OF
several hundred guns and 100000
rifles.
French and British troops, artillery
and supplies were being transported
to the outer lines in the adjacent
bridgeheads. French cavalry took up
forward observation posts, and move
ment of Germans of military age
within the occupied zone has been
forbidden.

PARIS, June 2O-President Wilson
returned to Paris today after a visit
10 Belgium which cemented even
more closely the friendship Of the
little kingdom and the big republic. In
the two days he spent in Belgium the
president was accorded every honor
within the power Of King Albert and
his people. The president OF the
chamber of deputies, in welcoming
President Wilson in the house Of par
lament yesterday, sounded the key
note of Belgium's whole attitude
toward America and Americans. He
raid:
Belgium will never forget the help
given her by her great sister. Amer
ica."
Addressing parliament, President
Wilson took occasion to emphasize
the Importance Of the league of ma
tions "The league Of nations is the
child of this great war;" he said, for
IL is the expression of those perma-
nent resolutions which grew out of the
temporary necessities Of this great
struggle, and any nation which de-
clines to adhere to the covenant del1b-
erately turns away from the most tell
ing appeal that has ever been made to
its conscience and to its manhood"
The president declared that the
nation that wishes to use the league
OF nations for its convenience and not
fer the service of the rest of the
world deliberately chooses to turn
back to those bad days of selfish con-
test when every nation thought first
and always Of itself and not of it's
neigEbors."
The president announced it was his
intention to propose to congress that
the American legation in Belgium be
raised to the rank of an embassy "as
recognition" and as welcome to
Belgium in her new status of complete
independence"
Wilson explained that he came to
Belgium because he wished to asso-
ciate himself in counsel with the men
he knew had felt 80 deeply the pulse
OF this struggle" and because he
realized that Belgium and her part in
the war Is in one sense the key OF
the whole struggle, because the vio-
lstion of Belgium was the call to duty
which aroused the nations"
