Federation of New York City.
In two letters, one to Speaker
Gillett, of the House of Representa-
tiVes and one to Speaker w. s. Pat
ten, of the little congress, the Fed
GRAFTON craved to know whether ii
was true that the United States
Congress. jr., had declared for the
recognition of the assassins and
looters of Moscow" Such action
would be made to sound momentous
in Moscow. and would furnish SEN
sational material for the revoIu-

Europe, said the letter.
Now the little congress had a
problem. After two years OF legis-
lating unmolested its deliberations
had finally assumed the dignity of
drawing fire from the outside Just
as does its model, the National Con-
gress. How should It handle this
perplexing turn of events?
Moves to Reconsider.
In such a frame OF mind the lit
tie congress convened last Saturday
night for the session that came
near being its last one. A member,
deeply concerned over the bad i'm
preston his organization had made
on the New York Civic Federation,
moved that the resolution favoring
recognition of Soviet Russia be re-
considered with view to tablinz IL.

Up on Participation in

President Harding has ordered ali
american troops in Germany re-
Eurned to the United States by
uly 1.
Fhe Presidents decision was an
bounced yesterday by Secretary of
Rsr Weeks. who said that the
roops would be brought home as
Eapidly as possible by the regular
Transport service.
No explanation was made by the
president of the order amending
he decision reached some months
kgo to bring all American troops
back from the army of occupation
Except 169 officers and 2,217 men.
Since that order the Coblenz army
has been reduced from $4,000 officers
men to approximately 1000 Of
icers and men. Now all will come
home.
May Bear ON Claim. .
Although official denial was made
hat the President had been actu-
hted in his decision by the recent
|Eontroversy over payment to the
limited States from the reparations

kran troops, IL is admitted that the

affairs.
May Tighten BerIIn's Burden.
In some quarters 1t was stated
That the President wished to tighten
the financial burdens upon Germany
in order to help in the general flnan-
|ciaI rehabilitation abroad. Already
the total cost of the army of occupa-
tion, all allied troops included, ex-
.Ceeds $1,000. .oo0, 900. 1t is explained
however. that withdrawal of the
american troops might not result
in any saving to Germany, because
Indcr the terms of the treaty the
allies may substitute other troops
at Coblenz for the American troops.
IL they wish. 1t would result in a
saving IL the allies should decide
not TO send in any more troops, but
to redistrict their armies on the
Rhine and reduce other garrisons
in order to NIL the gap at Coblenz.
What they do, remains to be seen.
LII Text of Order.
The announcement came in the
form of an official statement from
Secretary Of War Weeks as follows:
Some months ago the President
directed that the troops in Europe
- at least in excess Of 1000 officers an
men. should be returned to the Unit
ed States by the regular transport
service which was then, and is now,
in operation He has now directed
that this service be continued until
all of the troops have been brought
to the United States, which would
mean that before the end of the
fiscal year the entire force will
have been returned. Additional
transports will not be operated to
complete this movement"

A little over two weeks ago the
