COBLENZ, April 3— (Correspon
dence of The Associated Press)—The
intelligence section of the American
Army continues to keep strict watch
of the movements of the German
Army and will continue to do so until
the American Army of Occupation
leaves the Rhineland for home aft^r
the signing of the peace treaty.
Recent reports to the Americans
holding the Coblenz bridgehead are to
the effect that the few units of the
old German standing army which were
performing any active service early
in February appeared to have been re
organized on a uniform plan. The ma
jority of these troops, information in
the hands of the Americans indicate,
are simply drawing pa/ and passing
the time the best way possible in their
home depots, patiently awaiting dis
charge or having made up their minds
to remain in service in preference to
seeking employment in civil life.
These units tire d’vided between
those who b re pei fc« tly willing to per
form active service and those who ere
not. 'Hie willing ones, usually includ
ing mo„>t of the effet is and non-com
missioned officers , have taken a new
name for their organization, but con
tinue to use the depots and other fa
milities of the old unit. The unwilling
soldiers also have been remaining in
the depots of the old unit
It was in this manner that the Rein
hardt regiment which fought the
Spartacists in Berlin and which eariy
in February had companies assigned
to Weimar when the National Assem
bly was convened and also other de
tachments sent to the eastern front,
was formed from the Fourth hoot
Guard regiment in Berlin and has re
tained possession of that depot.
The new German Schuetzen divis
ion consists of volunteers ot the lhir
tl-first division the volunteer regi
ment being stationed in Berlin, whi'e
the remainder of the Thirty-first has
been in depots in the Hartz region.
German press dispatches from the
region of Polish-German clashes re
cently mentioned the “Volunteer Bur
tlion Koop” which was reorganized
from the One Hundred and Forty
Ninth regiment of Schneidemuchl. An
other recently mentioned unit was the
“Yorchsche Jaeger corps” which re
ports indicatew as thevolu nteer con
tingent of the First Jaeger Battalion,
the corps using the battalion dep<A
at Ortelburg.
Each of the units appear to inclu V
many volunteers, from outside their
ranks, and all of them were actively
conducting recruiting.
According to recent estimates of
American army officeis, the standing
German army the first week in l* eb
ruary numbered between .‘100,000 and
400,000 officers and men. These esti
mates do not include several hundred
thousand soldiers, who have voluntcei •
ed for the defense in the east against
the Bolsheviki or Poles.
