MARCH SAYS 0. S. TROOPSFITFORWAR New Chief of Staff Returning From Front Gives Ameri can Soldiers Clean BUI. An Atlantic Port, March 1. Major General Peyton March, new chief of staff of the United States army, ar rived here today after nine months abroad as chief of artillery of the American expeditionary force. Describing the American troops in France as so well trained in modern warfare to be able to handle them selves "with entire credit to the United States." General March said the censorship was "lamentable" and intimated he would advocate that the regulations in this respect be made less stringent 10 that the people in America might learn as much as pos sible about the activities of the expe ditionary forces. "The American forces are remarka ble for their morale and health, he declared. "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 in spected the troops on the line just be fore I left France, and they are ex traordinarily cheerful and contented, notwithstanding the mud and the German shells. "Their health is splendid. There Is no sickness and there is better morale than there was at the Mexican bor der, where I was stationed before go insr abroad. The spirit of the Ameri cans is splendid and every man is happy. A great many of the men take it as a lark, the majority never before having been outside the United States and some never even outside their own states. "It is a great advantage to the men that everything is new and interest ing to them; this serves to keep up their spirits. General March was accompanied by Major Generals S. D. Sturgis and F. H.

Paris, March 1. -The repudiation by the bolshevik governmeat of Rus sia's entire bonded debt caused som anxiety among the French people, who held at least half of the debt of the empire outstanding at the be ginning of the war. Eighteen billions of francs of Rus sian bonds, at the price of issue, wer listed on the Paris Bourse. Twelve billions, according to the lowest esti mates, and 15,000,000,000 according to other calculations, were bought by th French republic Servants in white aprons, bare headed market women, domestics of all categories and men in the blouses of the peasant and the laborer make up the long lines of investors in front of the wickets whenever Rus sian loans were offered for sale. Servants Hold Bonds. "I haven't a sou invested in Rus sia," a millionaire Parisian said to the Associated Press, "but everyone of my servants has one or more Rus sian bond. Another millionaire said the same was true of his household. "Instead of hitting the counting houses and the salon, the bolsheviki are hitting the servants' hall and the backstairs," was the way he put the situation. There it no little apprehension in socialist circles as to the effect of this heavy blow the extreme revolutionary element in Russia has delivered at the extreme liberal element in France. A peasant or workingman who may overlook or disbelieve news of bol sheviki excesses or misconstrue their effect will ba unable to doubt the evi dence of his own despoilment Until now the holders of Russian bonds have been reassured by the payment of the January coupons which tha French treasury assumed. It doesn't appear yet, however, wheth er the French government will assume the burden indefinitely and if th bankruptcy of the revolution is al lowed to become effective, the great er number of the smaller investors who have been financing the Russian empire since loos will be ruined. Monty Did No Good. A contrast is drawn here betweei the action of the bolsheviki and that of the French revolution. The Maxi malists pretend that the money loaned to Russia was used to buy arms to keep the people in subjection. This was true to a far greater extent of the money borrowed by the French monarchy prior to 1789, yet the con vention made it a point of honor U take those debts to the account of the republic The claims that money furnished by France brought no benefit to tha neo- pie of Russia is also contested. It is possible to trace the money through the official list of the loans floated In Paris and it is found that more than three-fourths of the capital rep resented was employed to buy rail roads, to build them, or to develop industry and agriculture. jiussia naa unproveu on 17 aooui a third of its land at the beginning; of the war and the question is asked how the peasants to whom the un improved land is turned over will find means of improving it if Russian credit is forever destroyed by the re pudiation of its debt.
