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. French.

nouncing that Roumania has decided

Special Prosecutor McGuire dis
tinguished himself before Judge Es
telle in the trial of John Dobrowski
for the Illegal possession of intoxi
cating liquors by his dexterous use
of that instrument commonly
known as a corkscrew.
The evidence, consisting of bot
tles of lucent rose and amber col
ored liquors, created a profound im
pression in the court room, as re
moval of the corks was executed
by McGuire. Sergeant Sheehan of
the South Side police, who raided
Dobrowski's room in the house at
Twenty-sixth and Q streets, was
authorized to identify the fragrant

RDSS BONDED DEBT
CAUSES MUCH WORRY
(
Many French Peasants Will Ba
Patpers if Eusslan Credit Is
Forever Rained by Re
pudiation. 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.

how the peasants to whom the un
