BEGIN REMOVAL OF U. S. FORCES IN RHINE ZONE.

The American army of occupation technically ceased to exist Wednesday when the removal of the units still in the Rhineland began. It is expected that within a comparatively short time there will remain on the Rhine only one regiment, with certain auxiliary troops, totalling approximately 5,000 men. The fourth and fifth divisions, entraining from Brest Wednesday, will be followed eventually iby the second, third and first divisions, in the order named. The exact time of departure of these latter divisions depends on the manner in which Germany carries out the‘ military terms of the treaty.
