follow the arrival here of Major-Gen-eral
Peyton C. 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.

progress.
The Bolshevik government at Petro

siasm at Petrograd for defense of the

going to Brest-Litovsk. According to
report made by M. Zlnovieff. one of
the members of the new peace delega

tory as possible before signing a peace
treaty.
Roger C. Tread well, the American
consul at Petrograd. who arrived at
Vologda with the ambassadorial party,
is opening a consulate here. The Ameri

Traopa Credit to America.
Describing the American troops in
France as so well trained in modern war
fare as to be able to handle themselves
with entire credit to the United
States. " Ueneral March said the censor-
hip was "lamentable" and intimated
he would advocate that the -regulations
in this respect be made less stringent
so that the people in America might
learn as much as possible about the ac
tivities of the expeditionary forces.
American officers in France cannot
Understand the present censorship
methods, ueneral March said, adding:
"I know of no gentle method of con
ducting a war of this magnitude and no
army can expect to have no one hurt.
"The American forces are remarkable
for their morale and health." he de
clared. "They are keen about the
game. Those on the battle line now.
and the reserves, too. are so well
trained In modern warfare that they
can handle themselves with entire
credit to the United States.
"I inspected the troops on the line
just before I left France, and they are
extraordinarily cheerful and contented,
notwithstanding tha mud and the Ger
man shells.
"Their health is good. There is no
slcknessand there Is better morale than
there was at the Mexican border, where
I waa stationed before going abroad.
Th spirit of the Americans la splendid
and every man Is happy."
General March was accompanied by

The advices came by cable from Ed

Representatives of the Information
committee, it was said today, will re
main in Petrograd for the present to
carry on the educational and informa.
tional work with which they are
charged.
Lajt reports show that the circula

ary Is practically completed through
out Russia. The total, it Is said, is over
4,000,000 copies. Including separate
printing- and distribution at Tlflis,
Vladivostok, Odessa. Rostov and Chita,
but not including 1.600,000 newspaper
articles and an incalculable amount of
partial printing and editorial comment
which automatically followed.
In addition, it was said that 1.300.000
messages printed in German went
through the northern lines of the Ger
man army. About 200,000 were suc
cessfully worked through the southern
and central fronts.
The committee also said that German

The consulate has been taken over by
the Norwegian Consul.
This bare report appears to Indicate
that the situation in Petrograd has
taken an unexpected turn for the
worse.
News agencies, the press and diplo
mat here are without any but the
most meager dispatches from Petro

according to a telegram from the Rus

and which bears no date.

hundred prisoners were captured.
"At Mosyr we captured on the Pripet
a flotilla of six armored boats. 36
motorboats and aix hospital boats.
"The railway line between Kiev and
Shmerlnka was reached near Fastoff
and Kasatln. . .
Pellah Lesioaarlee Relieved.
"German troops hurried to the assist
ance of Polish legionaries who, south
west of Ktarokonslantinov (in Volhy
nla. 75 miles southwest of Zhitomir)
were fighting the enemy, who was su
perior in numbers. The enemy was de
feated by our combined forces.
"Austro-Hungarlan troops, appealed
to by the Ukrainian government and by
the population airalnst bands of the
enemy, marched Into the I'kra.ne on
wide aectors north of the Pruth River."
Heretofore Austria has taken no part
in the new advance into Russia which
was begun after the peace negotiations
were broken off. The explanation was
given that Germany was operating along
tne great Kusslan rront and that Aus
tria was guarding the Ukrainian front.
