SHIFTS MADE IN
PERSHING'S STAFF
Maj. Gen. James w. McAndrew Has
Been Appointed Chief-Gen. Har-
bord Gets Field Command.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, May 3, by The Associated
Press.-Major General James w. Me
Andrew has been appointed chief of staff
OF the American eXpeditionary forces, as
suming his duties Immediately. Brig Gen
James c. Harbord, who has been Gen
Pershing's chief of staff has been assigned
to a command in the field which he will
take over this week
These changes are explained as being
in conformity with Gen. Pershings policy
OF making shifts among the officers of the
general staff. In this practice some are
sent to the field and replaced with others
who have been on the front and by reason
of recent personal experiences are bet
ter able to grapple with the field prob
lens
This policy serves also to give the
general staff officers an opportunity to
serve with the troops. In further pursuit
of this policy there have been a number
OF other staff changes. One section chief
has been assigned as divisional chief Of
staff and other officers of similar standing
have been assigned to serve with the
troops. The new post of deputy chief Of
staff at headquarters has been created
with view to giving the chief of staff
more freedom of action and enabling him
to keep in closer touch with the combat
ant troops,

TOPEKA, May 3-The new federal
employment agency established in Kansas
In connection with the state agency has
already received numerous applications
Tor both employees and places to work
among them applications from many
women who are willing and anxious to do
farm work. 1t will be the business of
the agency to see that the right Job and
the right help get together
If the Kansas farmer wants help for
the season he must get away from his un-
der forty-tive and thoroughly competent
clause, declared {. II. Danner. in charge
OF the agency. The men under FORTY
tive and thoroughly competent
arc going into army service. There are
plenty OF able men who have worked on
farms and have later moved into city busi-
ness who would make good and would not
need the training younger men would
need. The quicker the men who want
farm labor understand this the more
likely they viii be to get some kind of
help with their crops"
Mrs. Theodore Saxon, president OF the
Kansas Woman's Gardening Organization
has appealed to the girls in Kansas towns
to 60 into the country for their vacations
and obtain places with farm wives, not
for outdoor work which they would have
to be taught, but for the houseworll which
would relieve the farmers wife and
daughter for work in the garden or with
the chickens or the hundred other places
they are needed during the shortage OF

house would be different, but many city

NO RESTRICTIONS
ON THE SALE OF WOOD
People Urged by Fuel Committee to
Buy as Much Wood as Possible
for Next Year.

\ meeting of the local fuel commit
tee was held yesterday afternoon and it
was decided to remove all restrictions
on the sale of wood and to recommend
TO all consumers of coal for domestic
purposes to buy as much wood as posi-
bic for next winter. The price of wood
hereafter will be whatever is agreed
upon between the seller and the buyer.

transportation Of soft coal from the
mines for our industries. Consumers
should place their orders now for fu-
ture delivery at whatever price may be
agreed upon.

Strong After 2S2 Years.

BOSTON, May 3.-Thc enduring
strength of wood is evidenced in the
Fairbanks house in Dedham, Mass,
built in 1886, and believed to be the

members of the Fairbanks family gath
cred for reunion.
The oak timbers used in the old
house were brought from England
about the year 1888. They are still
solid and strong and supporting. The
bricks came at that time as ballast. Mr..
and Mrs. Jonathan Fairbanks with
their six children came to Boston from
Sowcrby, Yorkshire, in 1882, and NOV
ing to Dedham built the house in 1886,
They added a wing in 1913 and another

IN the direction that this mortal shall
put on Immortality. There never was
such need for appeal to the people to

when the Germans again seek our

Germans to flood this country and get

elected tremendous applause when he
exclaimed: "America will the fool of
