U. S. TROOPS CALLED HOME
FROM WATCHJON RHINE
Tlie Stars and Stripes wero t»dnv or
dered homo from tho Rhino.
The Inst vestige of American mili
tary support remaining in Europe
since the armistice of 1918 lias been
withdrawn. ' Only 1,200 soldiers of the
American army of occupation have been
on the Rhino for many months, but
they meant much more thau their num
bers as an evidence of tho moral sup
port which the United States has” been
giving France and tho allies in the car
rying out of the terms of thb.armistice
and tho treaties of police.
Although no comment accompanied
the anuouneBnie'nlbbf the United States'
government’p fjuiddeii diciip,on to with
draw tho troops,.there is nO'do'olirt that
the government'here wants it fo ring
“round the wQfld” as tho protest of
i disinterested,nation against tho mis
taken, theory of Trance" that Germsny
■must bo penalized by force fOriher in
ability to pay her reparation don't.
Tho abrupt statement . of govern
ment policy' came somewhat ns a
surprise, even though the seriate by
overwhelming' vofo passed last week
a resolution expressing its,option that
the troops shoujd bo withdrawn by the
president. When the resolution was
passed, there was a feeling'in executive
quarters that it might prove embar
rassing, as the administration had not
yet mado up its mind. But Overnight
there came a change. For One thing
the nows dispatches from Eilro'pe told
•of tho march of French troops through
tho Coblenz bridgehead, which is guai.l-
•ed by America’s army of occupation.
Tho sight 'of Froncli troops march
ing Tight through tho American linos
•or. an errand which tho' United’ States
government had,, plainly disapproved,
was too muel\, for. American pride.

Germany lias been, adjudged by the .
Allies in' voluntary default in her pay
meat of tho stipulated amount of
coal for 1922, and has doclarod her
self unable to pay tho promlsod .a-
mount of money! duo on the 1,1th insh£
France has accordingly resorted to,
military occupation of tho Ruhr Ba !
sin—Germany’s richest coal mining'
and manufacturing territory—, in' or
der to collect the money duo her, and
which she has .thus far found impos
siblo to got in nny other way.
Belgium is assisting Franco in. her
undertaking, and ftnly has given her
assent. Great Brltian opposes the
movement. Tho United States takes
no official action.
When Germany successfully invnd
ed Franco ovor fifty years ago, she
kept her soldiers thero until all of the
enormous indemnity demnndoil was
paid in fall, and tho pcoplo of ovory
station in lifo brought out their sav
ings ami paid off the monstrous claims.
The German government is undoub
tedly unable to pay tho amounts
promised, not being strong enough at
homo to collect tho nccossary taxes,
but tho Fronch point out that the
Germans did not have a singio mine,
or factory damaged in tho least dur
ing the war, while tho Gorman armies
deliberately and wantonly wrecked
and ravaged a sixteenth of Fr^p^e’s
territory, flooding mines, blowing '. up.,
manufacturing plants, girdling or
chards, destroying churches and
schools.
