Gen John Biddle, formerly Engineer
Commissioner of the District of Column
bia, later superintendent of the United
States Military Academy and now a
major general in the National Army.
has been appointed assistant chief Of
staff of the Army and will assume the
duties of that office at once. The post
has been vacant since the retirement
of Mai. Gen. Hugh /. Scott, chief of
staff, and the promotion to that Office
of Gen Tasker II. Bliss, then assistant
chief of staff. in September last.
Promotion in Rank Possible.
Gen. Bfddle, who has just completed
q tour of observation of the war situa-
tion in France, is a brigadier general
in the Regular Army. AS there is a
vacancy in the list of major generals
it is assumed that he will be elevated
to that rank and thereby enable the
President to appoint a new brigadier
general of regulars.
Reputation for Executive Ability.
Gen. Biddle has reputation Ior
executive ability earned largely ny
recent activities. As colonel OF en-
gineers he organized and commanded
one of the special engineer regiments
which we're among the first troops sent
abroad in the war. He comes to his
post in the department with personal
knowledge of what is tranSp1rlns az
the fighting front, and also with
knowledge Of general staff duty gained
by a previous tour of duty with that
corps CO.
retary Baker made it plain that he did
not regard the selection of an assistant
chief OF staff as preliminary to the
naming of new chief of stan to sue
ceed Gen. Bliss when the latter reaches
retirement age, December 81.

told by Mrs. Newton, relates the ad'
venture Of an automobile party with
a gypsy fortune teller. The car IN
which the party was riding, ran out
of Gasoline, and leaving the chauffeur
behind to guard the auto, the party
started to walk to the nearest farm
house, a few rods away. On the way
they met a gypsy, and thought for the
FIN of things, to have their fortunes
told.
Among other things they asked the
old question, when will the war
end?' The gypsy fortune teller re,
piled:
December Is, 1917
When asked how she knew she
startled them by saying:

that your chauffeur is lying dead un-

Daily Stock Letter.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review to-
day says:
Wall street was in more composed
state of mind today and there was an
absence of the selling pressure which
was so pronounced yesterday.
Trading was in smaller volume.
With few exceptions the opening was
higher and through the forenoon con-
siderable strength developed in the
general list at intervals. Aside from
short covering, however, there was
little buying initiative.
In the mid-afternoon the downward
swing was sharp for time with many
indications of raiding tactics. The
movement did not carry far, however,
and rally of a point or more super
vened on evident support thrown into
the market.

Be yours to hear; may mothers lair
Rejoice to see you dancing there;
May all m en-, under Gods great SKY
