The .American Troops in Germany. The statement has been made that, following the signature by the presi dent of the congressional resolutions declaring a state of peace with Ger many, the United States would to day (July 4th) order its troops out of Germany. There are 12,000 Ameri can soldiers at Coblenz, where they are maintained at ' Germany's ex pense. Demands that they be with drawn and returned to American soil have been repeatedly made.. It is pointed out that, the United States now being at peace with Germany, and not asking war indemnities from that country, has no right to keep her troops there. France does not wish to see these American troops withdrawn. She does not want the unity on the Rhine broken, and contends that the pres ence here of our soldiers has a great moral effect. France holds that the United States might quite as logical ly continue to participate in the oc cupation, notwithstanding the end ing of the state of war with Germany, as in the Republican Commission, the Supreme Council and the Council of Ambassadors. Charles H. Grasty, in his cable to the New York Times, points out that while the American occupation is military in form, the presence of our troops has been a political factor, and in some measure, at least, steadied European nations against the demor alizing effect of a sudden withdrawal of America from the political affairs of Europe. These Americans on the Rhine are almost the sole visible sign remaining of the once promising hope of settling the war in the common in terest of the world. Bu there is another side to it. The Franch and English have been con stantly embarrassed by the fact that American soldiers drew better pay. The cost of maintenance averages more than twice as much per capita compared with the others. The heavy expense of the armies of occupation has been a constant ground of com plaint from the Germans, who say the occupation bill which is charged against them aggregates more than the entire cost of their military estab lishments before the war. The chief reason why this is so, however, is that the old German army was conscript. It is further urged that payment of the army of occupation compels Ger many to add large quantities to her paper marks used for the purchase of outside exchange, thus injuring their own exchange. These payments bring back no return in production to any country. The payments to American soldiers go almost wholly to America, thus affecting the exchange situation injuriously. These statements are also from Grasty's letter. If the United States is not at war with Germany, actually or mechani cally, our troops have no business in Germany, and will be brought home promptly. In this connection the American public is pleased to know of the splendid record which Gen. Allen's men have made at Coblenz. The ver dict is that they have been a model of what a military force should have been under the circumstances.-Au gusta Chronicle. NOTICE.
