Third Division to Return in August

By the Associated Press

Coblenz, July 28—The third division of the American army has been ordered home from the occupied area of Germany. It will begin entraining for Brest August 5.

The big guns of the third division which were instrumental in stopping the Germans on the Marne a year ago will be shipped on barges down the Rhine to Rotterdam and thence to the United States.
The movement of the third division to the port of embarkation is expected to require a week.
