Signing of Treaty With Germany May Mean Return of U. S. Soldiers Stationed On Rhine

Washington, Aug. 27.-Withdrawal of the American forces on the Rhine is expected to be considered serious ly by the administration once the peace treaty between the United States and Germany has been formal ly ratified. The view is understood to be held that there would then be no necessity of burdening Germany with the support of the forces, for which she is obligated to pay.
 There was no consideration of the subject in the negotiations leading up to the treaty so far as is known and whatever decision is reached will be solely that of the American gov ernment According to latest figures that are 14,000 American troops in the army of occupation at a main tenance cost of nearly S1,000,000 a month.

 Credit Strain Relieved.
 Events have shown that the severity of the credit strain in many parts or he country is less than had been eX- pected. Not only has the smallness of the cotton crop and the relatively smaller value of some other crops tended in this direction, but there has been an unusually early movement of products to market for cash.

Nevertheless, it can be assumed :. hat the great run of stocks has now reached levels which are making them attractive to those on the inside who. are in a position to know what the real book values are. A potent factor in connection with the market is always the money situation, and, while there may be occasional f1urries in rates, everything now points to plentiful supplies for a lcng time ahead, as the federal reserve banks are in an exceedingly strong position.

Number of Men Turned Back May Be Marmet-Mingo Bunch

Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 27.-A large body of armed men seeking to enter Logan county, was this morning turned back by a force of deputy sherlffs on the Boone-Logan county line, according to a statement given to the Associated Press over the long distance telephone by an official con nected with Governor Morgan's ex- ecutive office at Charleston. It was added that there had been no casual ties although many shots had been exchanged. Further than this the informant was unable to say.
 It has not been determined whether the body of men engaged by the deputies was a part of, the Marmet- Mingo marchers who yesterday were persuaded by c. F. Keeney, president of District 17, United Mine Workers of America, to abandon the march and return to their homes.
 A long distance telephone call to the office of Don Chain, Logan county sheriff early today met with no re- sponse. Similar calls to a private es- | tabliShment and hotel were un- productive, the party answering the telephone at the hotel remarking:
 T have nothing to say; this is Logan county's business and no one else's.'' | At o'clock this morning the tel. ephone operator at Logan is said tc |have told the Charleston Gazette tha firing then was in progress neal Blair; that the deputies were on tor fof a mountain ridge overlooking the town, the armed men at the foot Firing, it was added had been spas
