GETTING READY
TENDERS CALLED IN U.S.A. GERMAN OCCUPATION SERVICE RIBBONS. MILLION MAY BE WANTED. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) NEW YORK, June 20. Preparatory to policing Germany after the war, the United States Army has invited bids for the manufacturing of 500,000 to 1,000,000 German occupation service ribbons. The army has requested complete delivery of the badges within six months. Such a large order indicates that the American army of occupation in Germany after the war will be several times the size of the forces of the last war, which totalled 200,000. Most of these were withdrawn in the summer of 1919, but the others remained till 1923.
