Some Changes Indicated.

1t is indicated that Gen. March will
take over his duties at once, and
various changes in the stan are eX-
pected to follow soon. 1t is under
stood that one of the first acts of the
new chief will be to name a successor
for Maj. Gen. Biddle. There are indi-
cations that Gen. Biddle already has
been selected for an important COM
mand in Europe. and it is known that
he would prefer duty abroad.
Reorganization of the general staff
recently effected is now in operation.
1t has been stated officially. however,
that the general officers recently as
signed to duty as directors of the five
ajor divisions of the staff are hold
ing their positions temporarily. This
action was taken to permit Gen. March
to name his own assistants in carrying
out the task of coordination of the
purely military side of the Army.

FRENcHWoMAN TO A MOTHER.

From Madame H. DimeZ, at the In
stitutrice Aubepierre Haute Marine,
in France, a we'll known Raleigh wo-
man has received an intensely inter
esting letter that reflects something
ole the treatment American officers
and men are receiving at the hands
of the French people. This letter was
written August 80 and reads:
''This letter to you from French
woman will surely surprise you, but
have come to realize that it would
be a great pleasure to Monsieur, your
son, if l were myself to write to his
dear mother. I am therefore happy
to take this means of expressing to
the mother of one of our heroic AL
lies all the love that we feel for the
great nation which has sent her sons
to struggle by the side of our own
brothers for the triumph of the right.
During the all too short sOjOurn
that Monsieur your son has made at
our modest dwelling, we were able to
appreciate his character and distln-
guished bearing. My husband, my
children, and I myself parted from
him with regret.
eve are hoping that his future will
be favorable to him and that we will
have the pleasure of seeing him again
upon his next leave for rest. We &C.
sire to be his family in France, very
simple family. it is true but most
affectionate one, and it would be to us
a. great honor if he would consider
our modest home as his very own.
Every affectionate, profoundly at
tached to his family, to his country,
of which he speaks always with emo
ton, Monsieur, Lieutenant -, has
won our affection forever-and the
love of my little children, also. Lu-
cille, aged 10 years, has become his
devoted friend. She asks always when
he will return, and speaks OF nothing
less than returning with him to Amer
ica. In my next letter will send you
her photograph, and that of her little
had to persevere and resist unmer1
sister, SimOne.
Dear Madam, permit me, FTencn
friend, to express through you all the
all the admiration that my
comDatriots so deeply feel for our he
roic allies, You, the mother of sol
der on whom this war has imposed
the great sacrifice of separation, say
TO the mothers, to the wives, to the
sisters. and sweethearts of America
that the women of France appreciate
their sacrifices, that their hearts beat
in unison with your own, and that
YOUR valiant SONS have found IN the
bosom of the families of France that
affection of which they are worthy. It
the thought that Monster your son
aas fo,nd in us friends can mitigate
.or YOU the pain of feeling that he is
" far away from you, give you that
and am expressing to you
he sentiments of our profound sym
pathy."

''High explosives have landed so
close as to turn the men upside down
with their heads in the mud and the
shock of shell tear the packs from
their backs without injuring the men.
I'VE saw six German airplanes at
tack one F'renchman. They plunged
and circled and shot him up, but he
escaped and came down near us
bringing his dead observer with him,
although he was shot through the
mouth himself ....
I'VE travelled road stained with
blood every yard for a mile Have
seen men drink from wagon ruts and
lie sound asleep in two inches of wa
ter. The greatest miracle of it all is
that we came through without a
scratch.

and sent back to our job of road

front right behind our advancing

AS they go by our men get so mad
they just cry and beg to be permitted
to go back to the front to take the
places of the wounded and it's hard
for us all to comprehend that this
work is just as important as the
shooting.

experiences, caught as We were in the 4

corposi JIsius9C. Mills Writeaa naEt
the Big "Hindenburg Line" Battle
ReidsviIIe Company Almost Wiped
Out.
A letter has just been received by
Mrs. Dora Mills, of Reidsvilie, from
her son, Corporal julius c Mills, a
member of the Reidsville company, q,
12Oth infantry, Goth division, A. E. F.,
in France. in which he writes that
the Reidsville company suffered Sc
we're casualties in a battle recently
fought against the Germans. 1t was
given out by General March few
weeks ago that the 30th division, com
posed of Tennessee, North and South
Carolina troops, were fighting with the
British forces in a sector around ST.
Quentin, in the northern part OF
France. and it is believed that this
was where the Reidsville company
suffered such heavy loss in killed
and wounded.
According to Corporal Mills. Captain
Byrd (probabIy a regular army NAM
who assumed command Of G company
after Captain Mobley was transferred
to Paris was killed, and about 40 men
Of the organization made the supreme
sacrifice &MH
In The same mail Mrs. Mills rec9iV-
ed a letter from her daughter MISS
Pat Mills, a nurse in one or the pdSS
hospitals, who wrote that sne unuel-
stood that practically the entire Relus-
vile company was wiped out OF eAlSI-
ence. Both letters passed the censorS
without a scratch.
Mrs. Earle Worsham, OF WENTWORTH
is in receipt of letter from ner nus
1H,o NIX DS.
Goth division, in which he states tnal
his division had been in a big battle
which was acknowledged by military
men to have been one OF tne "ol0'
slaughters of the war.
Perhaps a dozen letters have Deen
received in Reidsville the past "a
hours giving some details of the hor-
rible slaughter, and from what eacn
one saws we are inclined to the bene1
that the casualty list Of 40 men IN the
Reidsville company is not exagger-
ated.
Judging from the casualty lists re-
Gently printed, there is reason TO De-
lieve that Reidsvil1e and Rockingham
county BOYS in the company were
spared to a very great extent. During
the past week three names OF soA-
diers from Spray have appeared III
the lists. Leaksville, Spray, Draper
furnished about 35 men to the organ |
ization. Some 40 or more are from III
and around Reidsville, and perhaps !
175 of the company of $50 men are !
drafted men who hail from every sec
ton of the Union. 1t is. therefore
quite likely that most Of the NUMBER
killed and wounded are not from
Reidsville and Rockingham county.

Washington (Special)-The sugar
allowance of two pounds monthly a
person for householders was Increased
to three pounds monthly by Food Ad-
ministratOr Hoover, effective at once.
The sugar regulations also are revised
to permit the purchase of the entire
months supply for a family at one
time.
This relaxation of the restrictions
placed on the use of sugar four months
ago was made possible, Mr.. Hoover's
statement said, through the rapid man
ufacture Of the beet sugar crop in the
west, the new cane crop in the South,
reductions of consumption in manufac-
turing, freer transportation conditions
and patriotic conservation by the
people.
