(Correspondence - of Associated Press.) The intelligence section of the American army contin. ues to keep strict watch of the move ments of the German army and will continue to do so until the American Array of 6ccupatton loaves the Rhine- land tor home after the signing of the peace treaty." Recent reports to tho Americans holding the Cobleni bridgehead are to the effect that the few units of the old German standing army ' which were performing any active sorvtce early in February appeared to have been reorganized on a uniform plan. The majority of these troops, infor mation In the hands of the Americans indicate) are simply drawing pay and passing the time the -best way possi ble- in their .home depots, patiently awaiting discharge or having made up their minds to remain in service in preference to seeking employment in civil life. These units are divided between those who are perfectly willing . to perform active service and those who are not. The willing ones, usually including most of the officers and non-commissioned officers, have taken a new name for their organi zation, but continue to use the depots and other facilities 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 Reinhardt regiment which fought the Spartaclsts In Berlin and which early 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 Foot Guard regiment in Berlin and has retained possession of that depot. According to recent estimates of American army officers, the standing German' army the first week in Feb ruary numbered between 1 300,000 and 400,000 officers and men. These estimates do not Include several hun dred thousand soldiers, who have vol unteered for the defenses in the east against the Bolshevik! or the Poles. SANTA MONICA. March 15.
