PARIS. Oct. 18-The actual number of American troops now in France is less than 15,000 and is rapidly diminishing. Gen. W. O. Connor, commanding the American troops in France, said today. Within a month, he stated, virtually all the soldiers will be gone as the task of repatriating the German prisoners is now completed. Only four or five Germans now remain under the charge of American forces and these are ill in hospitals. Completing the liquidation of army supplies, squaring accounts and the policing of American peace conference headquarters are now the only tasks detaining the soldiers and officers in France, and General Connor said he expected that this liquidation work too would be terminated within one month
