in acceptances of purchasing
offers so as to distribute the
burden as equitably as possi-
Bile. The chief idea is not to
make our quota with all speed
but rather to get the money
from those who should give.
Don't overwork poor people
who are already skimping to
make income meet expenses.
See that the men of means
who have been slackers come
through and do their full
share.
Umatilla county has broken
speed records in the past. This
time work to the goal of just
distribution of the burden. To
raise our quota and raise il
properly will be'a greater vic
tory than would be a victory
based on haste.

H. Brig. Gen. James G. HarborG,
who has been Gen. Pershings chief

ing in conformity with Gen. Pershing' S
policy of making shifts among the Off
GERS of the general staff Of having Off
GERS not on the field replaced with
others who have been on the field,
who due to personal experiences are
better able to Srapple with field
problems.
In further pursuit of this policy
there have been q number of other
staff changes. One section chief has
been assigned as q divisional chief of
staff and other officers of similar rank
have been assigned to service with the
troops The post of deputy chief of
staff has been created with a view to
giving the chief of staff more free
dom of action and enabling him to
keep in closer touch with the COM
Blatant troops.
