(if this amount the United States was to re ceive one-fifth. The Allied govern ments agreed to this arrangement, hut it soon became evident that the total cost of the army of occupation could never la1 met by dye payments. Figures as to the amount duo to the American government for the army of occupation are mailable only until April 30, 1022. At that time the net baMOCe due to te United States, af ter making allowance for certain cred its to Germany, was .$254.Ki7.2!7. Sim April of 1!22 army officials es timate the i-ost of maintaining the army of occupation has been approxi mately $17i,000 a month up to the time of withdrawal. While it is true that the cost per capita for the maintenance of the American army of occupation was. greater than that of either the French or the British, the American govern ment lias stood firmly on the point that the American army was main tained in the Hhtnelaml at the express Invitation of the French, British nnd German governments.
