 Major General Leonard Wood is transferred from the department of the east to the new southeastern depart ment; Major General J. Franklin Bell from the western department to the eastern department Major General Hunter Ligett from the Philippines to the western department and Brigadier General Clarence R. Edwards from the canal zone to the northeastern depart ment. Major General Barry of the central department and Major General Pershing- of the southern department remain in their commands.
 The chances were outlined by the de- partment in the following statement:
 "To facilitate decentralization of command, the United States is divided into six military departments in place of the four now existing. They become effective May 1. and comprise the fol- lowing:

 The changes that have occurred with in a few days in the territory recently occupied by the Germans are almost miraculous. Ruined villages which two days ago seemed isolated within the zone of deadly desolation had military traffic policemen on duty on their main streets today. Advanced hospitals have been established and divisional and brigade headquarters taken up, while in the corners of the shattered villages blacksmith shops were ringing with the sound of hammer upon anvil and soup kitchens were sending out their savory odors. Everywhere were visible the ac- rivities of q great army moving for ward.
 Major Generals and brigadier gener- als who few days ago were occupying comfortable houses behind the old fixed positions are directing operations today from huts and dugouts and thoroughly enjoying the change

 WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, Saturday, March 24 (Via London, March 25)-(F'rom staff cor respondent of the Associated Press)- The open fighting of tho last ten days during the German retreat has pre- sented war pictures fasoinatingly spec Tacular and closely approximating the older ideals of modern martial splendoI The roads, or more exactly, the rem nants of roads, in some of the stricken districts o@ France have been fairly choked with troops on the move. From an eminence on a recently evacuated German stronghold could be seen to- day a seemingly endless column of cav airy coming over distant hill, dipping town into a beautiful valley and rising again by a winding road to broad, open field where camp was pitched for the night At times the brown hued horses and brown-clad men were all most invisible against the brown win ter landscape. At points farther for ward, infantry attachments could be seen disappearing in the distance. skirmishing dodging, one unit covering another, until it seemed almost as if the days of Indian fighting had re- turned.
 This onen movement is a striking change from the deadly staleness the depression of fixed trench fighting On the other hand, it is wonderful how the men long inured to trench life have come to love their holes in the ground. During the rest period on long marches. many of them can be seen sitting in deep shell craters in preference to the roadside. There is warmth below the surface and 9 protection from the wind which Tommy has learned to apprc- ciate.
 Following the German wake it is diff ficult to understand why the retiring army gives up without fight some of the enormously strong positions that now are in British or French hands. Of course, these positions, including the high barriers of the heaviest wire, could have been destroyed by sufficient. con- centration of shell fire as were the positions that the Germans were forced to relinquish along the Ancre and the Somme, but the retirement has saved

The French and Germans again have been fighting desperately between the Somme and the Aisne rivers, and again the French have made advances to- ward the strongly defended town of Quentin. According to Paris the French troops have pushed forward over a front of about two and half miles south and southwest of St. Quentin, the new positions taking in the town of Castres, three miles southwest, and Essigny- le- Grand four miles south of St Quentin. Gains also were made south of the Disc and north of Sois- sons.
 Berlin admits a retirement accord ing to orders" before the British be- tween Baumetz and Boisel, northeast of Peronne, but says the Germans repulsed French attacks northeast of Soissons. For the most part the fight ing on the British end of the line has consisted of reciprocal raiding and bombing attacks.
 There has been considerable fighting in the air Berlin records the loss of seventeen allied airplaneS, While Lon don reports eight German machines driven down and admits four British machines are missing. Bombs have been dropped from German aircraft on Calais and Dunkirk.
 While only sman raiding operations and artillery duels have been reported from the Russian front dispatch from Petrograd says there is indlsputable evidence that the Germans are bring ing up large numbers of troops on the northern part of the line for an effort to break through toward PetrOSrad. The spring thraws are holding the Russo -Rumanians and Teutonic allied troops in check in Rumania. In Mace donia near Monastir. much artillery activity prevails.
 The usual artillery duels and small infantry actions continue in the Aus tro-Italian theatre.
 Berlin reports that the raider Moewe, which has returned to a home port after operations in the Atlantic has on board 593 prisoners taken from vessels destroyed by the Moewe. Whether any of these men are Ameri- cans has not been stated
