AMERICAN TROOPS
. Be WITHDRAWN
M IL :S iSs rs.
INVITATIONS GIVEN THAT SOL
DIERs MAY BE RETURNED
FROM RHINE WHEN PEACE
TREATY HAS BEEN RATIFIED
BY SENATE.

Washington, Aug. 26.-lntima'
tions were given in high official
quarters today that withdrawal Of
the American troops from the Rhine
will be seriously considered as soon
as the peace treaty signed yesterday
in Berlin has been ratified by the
senate and the German reichstag. No
definite prediction was made but. it
became known that once peace actu-
ally was established the administra-
ton would feel there would be no
necessity for the nation to continue
with the support Of an army of occu-
Under the new treaty Germany
agrees to perpetuate the promise she
made in the treaty Of Versailles to
pay the expense Of occupation, but
there is no direct mention of the
subject which, it is understood,
could be interpreted as in any way
affecting the present situation or
biding the United States either to re-
main or withdraw. NV '...
The Versailles agreement fixed Is
years as the maximum period of oc-
cupation. So far as is known there
was no consideration of the subject
In the negotiations leading up to
the present treaty, and officials take
The view here that the decision lies
wholly with this government. It is
suggested by those favoring an early
withdrawal, however, that mainte-
nance Of the forces of, occupation
might impose such a financial bur
den on Germany as to delay materi-
ally her payment Of reparations.
Last available figures place the
number Of American troops in the
army Of occupation at $4,000, whose
cost Of maintenance is nearly nail
lion dollars a month. Only small
part of the maintenance bill has been
met by the German government thus
far, upwards of $25O,oOO,ooO being
due and unpaid to the United States
on account Of occupation.
Despite the predisposition of the
administration to disengage Ameri-
can relations from any unnecessary
entanglements in Europe, many
questions will enter into eonsidera-
tion Of the question of troop with
drawals. Problems growing out of
the occupation already have led to
Idisagreemnts among the European
allies, and it is the manifest hope of
American officials to avoid offense
to any Of them in the course it
adopts.
It is considered unlikely that
there will be a definite decision
pending ratification Of the treaty by
the senate and by the reichstag,
both Of which are expected to begin
consideration Of the pact late next
month. Meantime, however, officials
Of the state and war departments
will, make detailed investigation Of
conditions in. Germany and in the
occupied territory for the guidance
of President Harding and his advis-
ers.
Although the treaty signed yes
terday covers in general way the
question of trade relations by reaf-
fruning many commercial provisions
Of the Versailles settlement, it was
disclose today that a separate trade
treaty with Germany probably will
be sought in the near future. 1t is
possible that negotiations to that
end may begin even before the gen.
eral treaty has been ratified.

Several theories were advanced at
the time OF the GOLFERS disappearance,
among which was that she was cap
tured by Germans: that her crew of
life-termers sank her or ran her into
South American river and are spend
ing their lives there after killing the
captain and crew; that she went down
in storm and that her cargo OF
manganese ore, dumped in a pile
broke her in two; also the later theory
that she was captured by pirates.
So far as the Navy Department has
announced no trace has ever been
found of the Cyclops. But a life
buoy. believed in naval circles to be
one OF the Cyclops, was sighted in
latitude 1880 north and longitude 1927
west by the collier orion when that
craft went over tho Cyclops' course a
short time after the collier was re-
ported missing. This location is about
$50 miles northeast of Bermuda

The Cyclops carried many men from
this section, as will be seen from the

Is the United States naval
collier Cyclops, missing since
January 4, 1918, the pirate YES
sci which has been ravaging At
lantic shipping for months?
The Cyclops, on her last voy-
age, carried a load of mangaD-
ese ore from South America
and was last spoken at Bahia.
The significant fact is that she
carried forty-seven life-term
navy convicts. Did these men
seize the ship and are they the
pirates?
Since the Cyclops disap-
peared a number of other YES
sells have been reported mys-
teriously missing.
