GENERAL STAFF
TO BE REMOVED
Return of General March From
France to Result in Change
in Several Branches
of Service.
(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.

No Spring Vacation for
Pupils of Central High
No spring vacation for the pupils
the Central High school. The Board
of Education has decreed that the pu
pils shall continue their studies until
June 7, which is one week earlier
than the original date of the end of
the spring semester. The change has
been made that the 200 boys who will
leave the school in May to work on
the farms may not miss so much of
the term's work.
The Register staff met yesterday at
the home of the editor, Sol Rosen

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.
May Censure Senator.
Madison, Wis., March 2. Many of
Senator La Follette's friends admitted
here tonight that the loyalty resolu
tion, amended to censure the senator
for his attitude on the war, would
pass the assembly tomorrow, prob
ably by a vote of two to one.
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.

I Advisory Superintendent of
Many Swift Plants Say3
Eight Hours at This
! Time Impractical.
Chicago, March 2. Taking of tes
timony in the stock yards wage arbi
tration is rearing completion. The
packers expett to call their last wit
nesses tomorrow, after which there
will be several days given to rebut
tal testimony and arguments of coun
sel before Federal Judge Samuel Al
schuler, the arbitrator, takes the case
under advisement.
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.

They have proved their reliability and endur
ance in every kind of test that could be
thought of in the way of speed, long and
constant operation in the hands of every type
of user.
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.

He referred to a decrease in the

test against the campaign of charges
of mismanagement and extravagance,

made necessary by enlargement of the
plant and changes ordered by the
shipping board.

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. ,
