SEES WAR
IN j. 8. TROOPS
ON RHINE
Urges Passage of Resolution
Demanding Return Of Men
From "HeII-Pot."

Declaring that as the United
States has separate treaty of
peace with Germany, there is no
good reason for maintaining Amer
lean troops on the Rhine" Senator
Reed (Dem) of Missouri urged in
the Senate today that these troops
be brought home at once. He was
speaking in behalf Of his resolution
demanding that President Harding
withdraw the troops.
Asked by Senator Brandegee
lRep) of Connecticut, IL the troops
wero in the territory which France
contemplates entering after January
Is, Reed, heatedly, replied:
II do hot know, but they are
so close to that place of trouble
that we should bring them back
from the hell.pot which is brewing
over there.
1--WE have no controversy with
Germany; no property rights to
protect on the Rhine, and. there.
fore, every consideration demands
their return at once"
There IL only one reason why
these troops are being held in Ger
many" Reed charged. 'They are
not there for the benefit of the
United States, but at the expressed
wish and for the sole beneSt OF
other nations"
The cost of keeping the 1000
American soldiers on European soil,
Reed asserted, had reached $685..
'O77, 146, of which Germany has
paid Approximately $4,000, 900,
though, he added, nobody seems to
know where she got the money to
pay"
"If trouble broke out in Europe,
especially Germany" Reed con.
tInued. ''our small force would be
wholly inadequate. If. for instance,
an cxasperated group in Germany
srose against the threatened mill
tnry gesture Of France, our troops.
regardless of all, would be subjected
to attack, and il drop Of Ameri-
can blood is shed the cry in this
country immediately will arise for
revenge" said Reed.
As result of a compromise eff.
fected by Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge, Administration leader, the
Reed resolution was materially
modified in the Senate this after
noon, so as to eliminate any formal
request that President Harding
order them home at once.
