(By Associated Preu.)
Washington, March 1. Numerous
changes in the personnel of the gen
eral staff of the army are expected to
follow the arrival here of Major
General Peyton C. March, who landed
at an Atlantic port today, returning
from France, to assume his duties as
acting chief of staff. Officers here
have no kowlcdge of plans General
March may have laid in this regard,
but it has been announced that he
will draw 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
Jiiddle, assistant chief or staff, and
who has been acting as head of that
body since General Bliss was assigned
to the supreme- war council in Europe.
, There are indications that General
, Biddle already has been selected for
an important command in Europe,
and it is known that he would prefer
duty abroad.
Til Temporary Now.
Recoganization of the general staff
recently effected is now m operation.

to act in the name of the secretary,
or of the chief of staff in matters
pertaining to his own particular field.
By this means an organization has
been built up for General March in
''such 'a way that he will be able to
. devote his own time almost wholly
to the broader problems of the de-
partment, leaving detail work to his
assistants, and quickly familarizing
himself with conditions throughout
the army.
General March brings to the head
of the general staff intimate personal
knowledge with conditions in France.
"He has discussed every phase of the
relationship between the war depart
ment and the expeditionary forces
with General Pershing, and it is an
ticipated that complete harmony of
action and purpose will prevail on
both sides of the water under his
direction.
May Remove Censor.
,. The remarks made bv General
March today on his arrival indicated
his desire for a less rigorous censor
ship as to activities of American
troops in France caused some com'
ment among army officers here. A
majority of them agree that much
" more could be told with safety as to
the doings abroad than has been the
practice up to this time. Secretary
Baker nas taken the position, how
','ever, that all information as to the
movements of General Pershing's
iorces must come through that
officer's censor. He has held that the
; war department was too remote to
exercise any jurisdiction over this
subject.
- The discussion of the new chief's
i probable attitude as to censorship
Brought out the fact that home
officers here have been a little dis
turbed as to the nature of information
censors abroad have been permitting
to come tnrougn, particularly as to
tne recent gas attack upon American
troops by uerman batteries.

On all unpaved streets, cars will continue to stop on the far side so that
