TROOPS COMING HOME
BY the Associntcd Press.

ETenbreitsteiu, Jan. 24.-Thc Amer
lean troops were withdrawn from the
Rhine today, ending American mill
tary participation in the occupational
area.
The withdrawal was signalized by the
hauling down at noon of the Stars anu
Stripes from the castle of Ehrenbreit-
stein, which has been the American mill
itary Headquarters since the beginning
of the occupation. Meanwhile the first
trains with members of the expedition
airy force were leaving Coblenz for Ant
werp to board the transport, st. Mihel,
which will take them back to the United
States.
The flag came floating gently down
from the staff on the picturesque cas-
tic walls overlooking the Rhine as the
signal was given for striking the col
ors. Not a shot was fired in salute
for il was not r martial occasion. There
were many moist eyes among the Amer
leans who watched the spectacle and
their longtime associates among the
Allied forces in the region.
The British and Belgian high commits
siohers for the Rhineland' kept their
word and remained AWAY because they
could not bear TO witness be lower

Inside the fort at the same time
there was taken from the whitc-washed
walls the portrait of Washington the

coming.
Lord KiImarnock. the British Rhine
commissioner and Baron Jaequeny, the
Belgian representative, called person
ally upon Major General Allen and beg
ged TO be excused from attending the
ceremony at Ehrenbreitstein.
They said they were too saddened
over the American departure TO be
present at the lowering Of the colors,
but they would be at the railroad sta
ton when the troops departed.

than they did, said NJ. LeClercq to
the correspondent. On the one side
came orders from Berlin threatening
punishment in the case Of disobedisnce
ard on the other side came orders from
the French authorities with similar pen
allies. The choice between these two
alternatives was obvious.
A categorical demand for the release
of Herr Thyssen has been presented TO
the French general headquarters BY
delegation of workmen from the Tbys-
sen factories in Essen under the leader

ernor Of Dusseldorf. with a threat Of

General Degoutte replied by telephoas
stating that his attitude was known.

Mayence. Germany, Jan. 24-Militar'
ism in its most unfeeling aspect was on
exhibition here today. Massed sentries
with steel helmets and drawn bayonets
were stationed every 30 feet and squads
of soldiers in war-like array were at the
entrance to the courtroom. where the
trial of the coal barons began at .
a. IN.
Crowds streamed into the courthouse
and before the trial opened, the court
room with the splendid chandeliers OF
crystal and bronze, which used to illum-
mate the festivities of the Grand Duke
of Hesse, was filled to overflowing.
French officers proved pitileSs in
turning away late arrivals Half OF the
small hall was reserved for the news
paper correspondents and the families
of the accused. A goVdly sprinAing
of Uniforms could be seen in the rest OF
the audience. Four poilus with rifles
at rest stood in front of the bar to sepa-
rate the crowd from the judges. In
side the sacred railing sat a dozen OIL
GERS, their chest heavy with medals.
Only One Is Defiant.
Colonel Debigny. tall, thin and stern,
with full dress military sword at has
side. entered punctually at 0 and de-
clared the session open with n warning
that in the case of disturbance the pub
lie would be instantly expelled. Amid
nrofound silence the accused answered
the questions as to name and identity,
Herr Spindler, representative OF the
SHINES interests, alone seemed to put
certain amount Of defiance into his re-
plies. -
Fritz Thyssen acclaimed by muir
present. The trial proper began with
hating and badly delivered speech IN
Fronch by Herr Grimm, counsel for
the defense.
1t was a clever speech. lt appealed
repeatedly to the honor and chivalry OF
th. French nation. which were charac-
terized as deservedly famous thro oh
out the world.
Passionate interest haS been aroused
throughout the Rhineland by the coal
baron trial because the people hope to
read therein the fate of numerous other
officials arrested.
Herr Grimm attacked not only the
practice of arreSting private German
citizens but also tn whole French ecu
patton Of the Ruhr. NJ. LeClercq, MS
French colleague on the other hand,
intends 70 justify the French action in
the Ruhr area.
AS a lawyer J must adnit that the
coal barons we're caught between two
fires and could hardly act otherwise
