WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-
can troops'today were ordered wl
drawn from Germany.
Secretary of State Hughes after
lengthy conference with Pr<^.
ing issued orders for the prompt
turn to this country of the American
army of occupation op tbe Rhine. '
This force which had been
ing the Coblenx bridgehead since
armistice now number 1,000 office**
and men. '■!
The action of the president and
Hughes tollowed the passage by the
senate of Sen, Reed's resolution ex-
pressing the View of tiie upper
that tbe Rhine fortes should be «1
drawn.
Troops are under command e<
Maj. Gen. Henry Allen.
Immediately upon his return ^
the state department Hughes suQ)
moned the correspondents and an-
nounced the decision for the with- |
drawn!.
The withdrawal of tbe American *
forces follows immediately on tbe,
heels of information reaching tbte
government that France had defl-
gonitely decided to occupy the Ruhr.
It Is understood that orders will
go out during the day fpr army
transports to proceed at once to *
German port and that embarkation
of, the American Rhine forces will
start within a week. * >
The transport Saint Mthiol, now
at New York, is Jn sailing condition
and probably will leave this after-
noon to transport the troops back
to this country. Secretary Weeks said
as he left the white house.
The American action followed the
refusal of France to halt its Ruhr
invasion and submit .the reparations
■quoatlm* to an international commis-
sion df business experts as sutff«tW
by the United ' States. A few
dayrs ago the United States again
made known to France that It regard-
