HARDING RECALLS
FORCE ON RHINE
ENTIRE AMERICAN CONTINGENT
ON RHINE TO BE OUT OF
GERMANY BY JULYf
ORDER AFFECTS 1000 MEN
Controversy Over u. s. Demand for
Share In German PREPARATION Pay
ments Not Behind Order,
Says Secretary Weeks

Washington.-All American troops
will be out OF Germany by July /, I'M
der orders issued by Secretary Weeks
Tuesday by direction of Presiden.
Harding. Abop. 1000 officers and
men are directly affected ms the re-
mainder of Major General Aliens COM
mand In the Coblenz bridge head zone
on the Rhine already were under home
orders.
The announcement of the decision
for complete American evacuation of
occupied territory In Germany, was
by Secretary Weeks as his first act
made on return to the war department
from a three weeks vacation in Flor
Ida. He added that the step was or
dered In compliance with the policy
previously announced of withdrawing
the Rhine forces as quickly as posi-
Bile. 1t had no relation, he said to the
wrangle In congress over the further
reduction of the size of the army nor
did 1t result from the correspondence
between the state department and the
allied commissioners over the Amerl-
can demand for n share in German
reparations payment on account of the
maintenance Of troops in Germany.
1t was admitted at the war depart
ment that the action of the United
States in completely abandoning the
Rhlneland position might have some eff
feet on the negotiations resulting from
Secretary Hughes action in submit
ting a request that the United States
receive share in German reparations
payments already made to cover main
tenance of the armies on the Rhine.
1t was insisted, however. that the step
was not direct result of those me-
gotiatlons, since complete withdrawal
was forecast before the note calling
attention to the American bin in excess
of S241 100000 on this account was
transmitted.
Secretary Weeks said that the OBJ
Grafton of two army transports now
being employed in the return of the
troops had been ordered continued to
July /, by which date all of the force
