17ILL DE NEEDED TO HATCH RHINE Foch to Keep - 600,000 Frenchmen on Occupied Territory Until. Peace is Made. (By Ammuiw rrMf . PARIS, Feb. 6 Marshal Foch estimates that 400,000 American troops are required to keep the "watch on the Rhine" until peace la signed. The French army Is prepared to fur nish a contingent double that number, while the British army, considering the continuance of its service elsewhere, will be let oft with 200.000. Belgium la asked to keep 100,000 men mobilized along the Rhine. Maintenance ot an allied-American ray of occupation of 1,600,000 men is considered necessary to forestall any Qerman attempts to refuse to sub- . scribe to the peace terms to be imposed by the allied and associated governments. Remainder to Return Soon. The occupied territory will be mortgaged, as it were, to make sure that Germany will pay the damages and consent to the restoration of Poland, if he surrender of her colonies and other conditions. The remainder ot the American forces are preparing to return home at the earliest possible moment. The greatest delay so far has been due to the lack ot ships. This is expected to be remedied by the requisition of idle German tonnage. CPORT Snap Shots aj By JACK KlENB Philadelphia will take the place of . IVughkcepsle as the scene of the grand finale of the intercollegiate rowing season next spring. At least four colleges and the Naval Academy will be represented in the varsity. Junior varsity and freshman races at the American Henley on the Schuylkill river on Saturday, May 31. That entry was assured and the date for the regatta fixed at the annual meeting of the board of stewards of the American Rowing Association r.' the Columbia University club recently. As Columbia, Piiiuty ivanla and Cornell, which compose the Intercollegiate Rowing Association, already had decided not to revive the big regatta at Poughkeepsie this year, they were free to consider the invitation to take part in the biggest American Henley yet arranged. Charles A. Comlskey, owner of the Chicago White Sox, believes that baseball will become so popular abroad as a result of so many games being played by our soldiers that the near suture will see world series contests ,ist ween English, French, Canadian md American teams each fall. "To my mind there will be an international series each fall," said Comlskey. "Both American and Canadian soldiers have done their part in Introducing the national game, and the British are beginning to think cricket a slow pastime.' Frenchmen have evinced a desire to learn the sport, '' and the Italian In the Aslago has not been averse to playing. Japan has always possessed an abundance of material. A Japanese Is naturally agile, md thinks quickly, which are two good ball-playing essentials.
