(By Associated Press.) Washington, March 2. 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 ikowledge of plans General March may have laid in this regard, 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, 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. Reorganization of the general staff recently effected is now in operation. It has been stated officially however, that the 0eneral officers recently as signed to duty as directors of the five major divisions of the staff are hold ing their positions temporarily. This action was taken in order to permit assistants in carrying out the task of co-ordination of the purely military side of the army. Each of these directors is an assis tant to the chief of staff with power 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 familiarizing 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. The remarks made by :. 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 has taken the position, how ever, 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 department was to remote to exercise any jurisdiction over . this subject. ; The discussion of the new chiefs 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 through, particularly as to the recent gas attack upon American troops by German batteries.

I TRIAL OF MAJOR OVER SOLDIER'S DEATH ORDERED Investigation of Conditions at Camp Doniphan Leads Secre tary Baker to Take Action Against Officers. (By Associated Tress.) Washington, March 2. Investi gation of the treatment of Private Albert Hestwood of Liberty, Kan., who died of spinal meningitis at Camp Doniphan, Okla., has resulted in Secretary Baker ordering the trial by court martial of Major Phillip B. Connelly, medical corps, U. S. A. of New York City, and First Lieutenant Walter II. Kirkpatrick, medical corps, National Guard, of Haven, Kan. It was announced today that Major Connelly, who was in charge of the base hospital, while Hestwood was a patient had been held responsible by the investigating officer of conditions at ' the hospital characterized as "nothing short of deplorable." Officer Made Examination. Lieutenant Kirkpatrick was the first medical officer to examine Private Hestwood, and is charged with having sent the soldier to the hospital with out making known the fact that he suspected spinal meningitis. Major General W. M. Wright, com manding at Camp Doniphan, and Brigadier General L. G. Berry, who commanded the camp while General Wright ,was on an observation tour in France, have been called on by Secretary Baker for reports as to how such conditions as were found in the camp hospitals came to exist. Conditions at the Camp Doniphan hospital first came into public notice through a letter read by Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the senate military committee, during a speech in the senate. The letter was written by Private Hestwood's father to a friend. Body in Casket. The report of the investigating officer said that with respect to the father's statement that the body was sent home in a sheet, the facts dis closed that the body was sent in a metal lined casket and that "this being a communicable disease, the body was wrapped in sheets and cotton to conform to shipping laws." All the other facts set out in the father's letter were found to be sub stantially correct according to the investigating officer, who said the wards in the hospital, and especially the one in which Private Hestwood died, were in an unclean condition; there was an insufficient supply of bed linen; there was a lack of suffi cient attendants on duty at the hos pital and the small number present were men of practically no experi ence and patients went for long periods without a bath or without even having their hands and face bathed.

This Year Choose a Car That Won't Require Repair Men The Best Mechanics Have Gone to War. Fifty Thousand Owners Know the Reliability of the Hudson Super-Six When one could turn his car over to an expert repairman every time it failed to operate just right, it wasn't so important that the car itself should be one of proved reliability. But this year it will not be so easy to get such efficient service. The best men have been enlisted to repair aeroplane, truck and tank motors. Every repair shop has lost one or more of its best mechanics. This makes it more important than ever that cars as they leave the factory must be of right design and jright construction. There is no question about the way the Hudson Super-Six qualifies in this particular. There is hardly a person who does not know the intimate history of some Hudson Super Six, as it has served its owner. There are fifty thousand Super-Sixes now in service. tIMMSMSari STOCK YARDS WAGE HEARINGJEARS END I Advisory Superintendent of Many Swift Plants Say3 Eight Hours at This ! Time Impractical.

At today's session Chester S. Churchill, advisory superintendent for Swift and company's plants at Chicago, Denver, Omaha, Kansas City, St. Joseph, East St. Louis, St. Paul and Fort Worth, testified that in his opinion t would be impractical to install the eight hour day without ex tensive alterations in building and equipment because of lack of tanks and cooling room space. He said the change would decrease production of the plants during the war. The wit ness said he had not seriously con sidered the idoption of the eight hour day until last summer. He believed in extra compensation for overtime and holidays and said Swift and company never worked men overtime if it could be avoided. Bought 12,000 Friday. Attorney Frank P. Walsh, for the employes, asked the witness if he did not think there would be a great sav ing of men, energy and money if the government operated the packing plants during the war. The witness declined to express an opinion on the subject.

What it has done is the assurance that makes it the car you can rely upon when you know expert service men are not always at hand. You must have observed how your neighbor's Super-Six has met every require ment he has made of it with the same relia bility with which you depend upon a tried and proved time-piece. With these facts in mind there is no need to call attention to such details of design and body detail as is usually referred to in an automobile advertisement. There are ten dif ferent body types of Hudson Super-Six cars. Every taste can be satisfied. GUY L. SMITH "SERVICE FIRST" 2563-65-67 Farnam St., Omaha, Neb.

Advertisement MINE BOSS LAY HELPLESS WHEN WIFE GOT TANLAC Was Six Feet Tall and Got Down to Where He Only Weighed One Hundred and Sixteen Pounds. "I lay helpless when my wife or dered our first bottle of Tanlac from El Paso, Tex.," writes Harry E. Scott of Dragoon, Aria., under date of Nov. 15th, in telling of his remark able recovery from an illness that had defied the skill of best physicians for over two years, to say nothing of his failure to find relief at leading health resorts. Mr.. Scott's voluntary statement has the true ring of sincerity and grat itude and is unquestionably one of the most remarkable ever givea in connection with a proprietary medi cine. , . Mr. Scott's letter was addressed to C. F. Moss, a well known druggist of Benson, Ariz., who has the Tanlac agency for that town, and was for warded by Mr. Moss to the Tanlac offices in Atlanta. His letter fol lows: Dragoon, Ariz., Nov. 15, 1917. Mr. C. F. Moss, Benson, Ariz.: 'i Dear Sir: As you expressed a desire to hear more about my case, I will try and tell you part of it. I was down and out nearly all the time for two years with rheumatism and stomach trouble, and went to eight doctors, two of whom were osteopaths.- Three of them refused to take my case, saying it was incur able, and the others might as well have done so, as they did me no good. I guess I have taken a barrel ol medicines internally and externally. I also went to Hot Springs, and cut of all that was ever done I never got over one week's relief at a time. After going down to one hundred and sixteen pounds which is very light for a six-footer I kept getting: worse until I couldn't move, even to feed myself; had no desire to eat and couldn't sleep more than two hours a night. Some of the officials1 of the mine, of which I am foreman, would call to see me, and then go out and say: "Poor old Scott has fired his last man." My wife thought I would never get out of bed alive and she knew my condition better than, anybody else. At last, when I lay helpless, my wife ordered a bottle of Tanlac from the druggist at El Paso, Texas, which, was the nearest place we could get it at that time. One evening about four days after I began taking Tan lac I ate a fair meal and enjoyed it, the first in many months. By the time I had taken half of the first bottle I thought I had a good appetite, but when I finished my second bottle I1 could hardly eat enough to satisfy, me. Well, I have just finished my ninth bottle, have gained eighteen pounds and am back on the job every day. I have converted lots of sufferers to the "Tanlac route," and it af fects them all about like it did me their stomach trouble, nervousness and rheumatism all yield to Tanlac Mrs. Scott and myself are willing to go before a notary and make affidavit, as to the truth of every statement in this letter, which you are at liberty to publish and use for, the benefit of others. Yours very truly, (Signed), HARRY E. SCOTT. Accompanying the above was a letter from the Moss Pharmacy addressed to the Tanlac Offices, Atlanta, Ga., referring in the highest terms to Mr. Scott as a man and citizen, with the added statement that both Mr. Scott and his wife were ready at any time to go before a Notary Public and swear that Tanlac is the only medi cine he had ever taken that had any effect on his rheumatism and stomach trouble. . He also stated he had another cus tomer, an old gentleman, who had taken five bottles of Tanlac and had gained twelve to fifteen pounds and that they were building up a large business on Tanlac, etc. , Tanlac is sold in Omaha by Shew man & McConnell Drug company, corner Sixteenth, and Dodge streets Owl Drug Company, Sixteenth and Harney streets; Harvard Pharmacy Twenty-fourth and Farnam streets i northeast corner Nineteenth - and Farnam, and West End Pharmacy -Forty-ninth and Dodge atreettVasT Advertisement, "
