A RENEWED PROMISE TO PAY Latest Available Figures Place tye Number of Amertoan Troops in the Army of Occupation at 14,000. ■ ■> \ ' Washington.—Intimations were giv en in high official quarters that the withdrawal of the American troops from the Rhine will be seriously con sidered as soon as the peace treaty signed in Berlin has been ratified by the Senate and the German Reichstag. No definite prediction was made but it has been established that the adminis tration would feel that there would be no necessity of burdening Germany with the support of an army of occu pation. Under the new treaty Germany agrees to perpetuate the promise she made in the treaty of Versailles to pay the expenses of occupation, but there is no direct mention of the sub ject which, it is understood could be interpreted as in any way affecting the present situation of binding the United States ether to remain or withdraw.
