M. I'jchon then cited the words of Friexlck II when entering Silesia: "I take possession first. I shall al ways f.nd pedants to prove my right." and M.

March, who landed at an Atlantic port tasjay, returning from France to assume his duties as acting chief of staff. Officers here have no knowledge of General March's plans, but it has been announced that he will draw to his aid men In whom he has special personal confidence. It is understood that one of the first acts of the new chief will be to name a successor for Major-General John Biddle. assistant chief of staff, who has been acting as head of that body since General Bliss was assigned to the su preme war council in Kurope. There are indications that General Biddle has already been selected for an Important command in Kurope and it Is known that lie would prefer duty abroad. Five Gearrala to Stay. Reorganisation of the general staff recently effected is now in operation. It has been, stated officially, however, that the general officers recently as signed to duty as directors of the five major divisions of the staff are to hold their positions temporarily. Thla action was taken in osder to permit General March to name his own assistants In carrying nut the task of co-operation of the purely military side of the Army. Kach or these directors is an as sistant to the chief of staff, with power lo act In the name of the secretary or of the chief of staff In matters per taining to his own particular field. By this means an organisation has been built up for General March in such a way that he will be able to de vote his own time almost wholly to the "broader problems of the depart ment, leaving detail work to his as sistants and quickly familiarizing himself with conditions throughout the Army. Ceaaorahlp laaue Raised. The remarks made by General March today on his arrival Indicated his de sire for a less rigorous censorship as to American troops In France and caused some comment among Army of ficers here. A majority of them agree that much more could' be told with safety aa to the doings abroad than has been the practice up to this time. Secretary Baker has t.iken the posi tion, however, that all information as to the movements of General Pershing's forces must come through that officer's censor. He has held that the War de partment waa too remote to exercise any Jurisdiction over this subject. The discussion of the new chiefs probable attitude as to censorship brought out the fact that some officers here have been a little disturbed as to he nature of Information the censors abroad have been permitting to come hrough, particularly as to the recent gaa attack upon the Am-rican troops by German batteries. It was suggested that Information as to the effect of the gas shells and o the casualties caused might be of actual military value to the enemy. They assume, however, that the censors have given this possibility full consid eration before permitting tbe articles to pass. of Revolution Petrograd.'
