Right of the 1 :i divisions comprising the American third army, now approach-' ins the Rhine, either are national guard or national army troops, and there is every reason to believe that they will be on American soil again by midsummer. General March, chief of staff, an nauni-eti no anucipaieu no uimcuuy| ^ In getting those units home within . four months after peace has boon es- ^ tabliBhed formally by proclamation. President Wilson, in his recent adc dress to congress said the sessions of the conference probably would be ^ concluded by spring, and based on fi his estimate of the time. General March's statement was accepted to mean that these forces would return during the summer. Two national guard divisions, the 32nd and 42nd. and two of the national army, the 89th and ninth, now are in the front line of Major Gen- S ?ral Dickman's army of occupation, which was within 20 miles of the ^ Rhine last night, according to General Pershing's report. The 28th 1 and 23rd national guard and tho ? 79th national army are in the second line, constituting the reserve which Is occupying Luxembourg and va- p rlous rail centers In France, includf lug Montmedy, Longuyon, Etaln and St. Mihiel. The first, third, fourth and fifth regulars comprise the remainder of the advancing army, while the second and seventh divis- '' ions are with the reserve.

The order of demobilization' providing that combat divisions be t abandoned last, be said, has not been altered. c: "The system is working at a very much greater speed," General March said, referring to demobili-1 nation, "and I have initiated a svs teni by which I get daily record as 1 to officers and a weekly record as to enlisted men.
