OVERSEAS TO
Be CUT DOWN
Army of Occupation to Be
r Reduced to Minimum,
Gen. March Says.

Washington. Jan. 1s-
American forces in France and
in the occupied territory of
Germany are to be reduced to
the minimum strength "cOn-
Bfstent with our national Obli-
cations" General March said
today. He added that General
EOch had been informed of this
policy by General PerShing.
What strength is to be main
tanned is under discussion now by
American military officials and the
allied military leaders. No report
has been received indicating tbs
number of divisions to be supplied
by the United States, but General
March was positive that it would be
far less than the 80 divisions given
in unofficial reports as the prob
able American military cOntribu-
%on.
VIII Keep "Safety Force"
The American force for the occu-
pied zone was fixed by Interna-
tional agreement at the time the
armistice was signed. General
March said Marshal Foch undoubt-
edly would refuse to permit a re-
duction of his total strength to a
point where it would be inadequate
to handle any possible disturbance
Decentralization of all army units
in the United States has been or
dered, General March announced
with the exception of the regular
army regiments needed for camp
guard purposes and various detach-
ments necessary to continue the
rehabilitation process. The total
now listed for rehabilitation is
LII, 600
1900 Already Back.
Troops actually returned from
France for rehabilitation now
number 100000. This gives a grand
total ordered discharged of 1881
900, of which 1886 men and ST.
593 officers have been discharged
to date. The rate of discharge
again is nearing the maximum ca
pacity of 1000 men per camp per
day after an interruption by the
holidays.
