U. S. TROOPS CANNOT MOVE

FOCH MEETS WITH ALLIES
Allied Commissions in Berlin
Refuse to Recognize New
Government in Any Way.
Paris, Mar. 156.—France con
templates sending three more
army corps to Weishaden Hei
stadt, and Bonn, thus doubling
the force along the Rhine.
Marshal Foch will call a meet
ing of the Supreme War Coun
cil as soon as he returns from
Mayence where he is to confer
today with the allied command
ers.
U. S. Troops Under Foch
Washington, Mar. 15.—Tech
nically still under the direction
ef Marshall Foch, the Ameri
can troops on the Rhine, would
not participate in any allied ad
vance into Germany without
specific directions from Presi
dent Wilson, it was stated to
day at the war department.
Allies Refuse Rccognition
Lendon, ‘Mar. 15.—One of che first
acts of the new government in Berlin
was to request recognition front the
allied commisgsions in Germany, ac
corling to an offcial British messag?
today.
The request was ignored, the com
missioners taking the attitude that
they could not extend recoguition
even to the esvtent of answering the
communication.
Washington, Mar. 15.—Officials said
the situation, so far as the American
forces were concerned, was a complex
one. The United States is the only
nation having trocps on the Rhine
which has not hecome a party to the
treaty of Versailles and consequently
the American detachment still is gov
erned by the terms of the armistice.
Under those terms they still are sub
ject technically to the orders of Foch
as the supremé allied commander.
The steps being taken overseas for
possible military action against Ger
many are being closely followed here.
The American fcrces on the Rhine
consist of about thirteen thousand
day and it is hoped that these services
will lend fervor and a widey general
interest.
