THREE AMERICAN
DIVISIONS AWAIT
SIGNING OF PEACE
As Soon as Completed They
Will Return to Former
Posts
Cohlcnz, June 26. The three
American divisions which were con
centrated east of the Rhine in the
American bridgehead area will re
main there until the Peace Treaty
is actually signed, according to an
announcement made here.
As soon as peace is signed the
Americans will begin to return to
the quarters they occupied before
the concentration a week ago. It is
expected the troops will remain there
until ordered home.
The third army consists of five
divisions and the auxiliary units of
the third corps, approximately 160,-
000 men. Transportation officers
said the divisions and the various
units could be out of Germany by
August 1 if general headquarters
gave orders to that effect.
According to present plans, the
Fifth division, which occupies part
of Luxemburg, will start for France
probably within a day or two after
peace is signed. The Third and
Fourth divisions will be the next to
move westward. The First and Sec
ond divisions, which hold the east
bank of the Rhine, will be the last
to depart in the event that no com
plete American division is to re
main in Germany as part of the per
manent army of occupation.
