LONDON. October 22.-It was said in
government quarters today that no Of
ficial intimation has yet come from
Washington that American troops will
shortly be withdrawn from the Rhine
In view. however. of the possibility of
such action by the United States gov
ernment, it is said the allied chiefs
have already discussed the matter of
taking over the American zone and it
is considered probable that it will be
occupied by the French.
The decision to withdraw the troops,
as reported, does not come as a sur
prise, and it's effects will be less
poignantly felt than If there had
been no warning of it: for it has been
thought the Rhine forces would go
home ever since the reputation of
the Versailles treaty by the Washing
ton Senate. followed by American
gradual withdrawal from allied coun-
ellis, and particularly since the Ameri-
can treaty with Germany.
Yet the course will be greatly re-
GREETED. especially in view of the
precarious condition of the German
government and the growing strength
in that country of the reactionaries.
who are again making a strong bid
for power. There is likely to be a
meeting of the allied military chiefs
before the American zone is taken
over.

CHAPTER VII.
THE FRENCH RETREAT.

Then came the day of the retreat.
Retreat? Whittier? For what rea-
son? No one knew. Retreat with
moral strain far harder to bear Eff
fort without enthusiasm. WEAKNESS
of soul added to WEAKNESS of body.
AT times the order came for US to
stand and fight. The old spirit re-
turned. On the Meuse and at Guise
the enemy paid the price of such
awakenings. But at nightfall our
victorious troops. their confidence re-
stored. heard once more the order
to retire. To win and to withdraw.
To win and leave the field of battle
after having driven Germans from

no longer reason. We felt that we
were following the funeral of France
along endless roads leading drearily
towards TIL" south. On September ),
an order was read calling on us to
attack. We listened, but faith was
lacking. We said to one another.
I'VE are going to attack tomorrow
morning. We shall win, but tomor-
row night we shall again withdraw"
Weary, But Advancing.
We fought furiously nevertheless
to vent upon the boche the rage that
was in our hearts. We kept it up
that evening-then through the night
then through the next day! We
were very weary. but we were no
longer retreating! After two days.
we found that we were advancing.
At first no one believed it. How
could the soldier understand? But
soon the joy of making headway
spread through the ranks-we were
advancing. OF that there could be
no doubt. So we had" them. En-
avant. In tagged and silent columns
we passed through villages and over
plains. Victory was ours. Victory
