Ground Hog in Cold Storage Watch Out!

According to late returns from the
rural districts, the ground hog, for the
first time in many years, left a shiver-
ing and coalless world to its own fate
yesterday and refused absolutely to is
sue from it's burrow so that humans
might know how soon this winter was
to end.
Yesterday was Candlemas Day, and it
was the duty of the grounding to come
forth. If he saw his shadow he was
expected, according to precedent, to re-
tire again and let the wintry blast con-
tinue for forty days more. If he did
not see his shadow and stayed out then
the world could rest content with the
thought that the worst of winter was
past. This year of all years, witnesses
assert, the grounding preserved an at
titude of strict neutrality and never
left his hole at ALL

"Perfectly Absurd"
Says Senator Stone,
In Emphatic Denial

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-"Perfectly
absurd" was how Senator Stone, chair
man of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. o-day characterized the re-
port that he was concerned in an or
ganization to foment strikes in Ger
many.
ut is absolutely without foundation" +"
he said. "The reports might have been
circulated in Germany to head off the
unrest and strikes now going on. Over
there the United States is supposed to
have money to burn, and it might be
that the government would circulate
such reports"
That circulation in the enemy coun-
tries of President Wilson's address
also may have contributed to the ru-
mors was suggested by Senator Stone.
II learned only last night" he said,
that the Russian Bolsheviki are them
selves circulating the Presidents ad-
dresses, not only in Russia, but in Po-
land. Germany and Austria. The Boil
shevik leaders have had the Presidents
address translated into German, Polish,
Czech and Slavic and circulated them
among the peoples whom Germany
dominates. Their purpose, under
stand, is to stir up sentiment SO as to
force Germany at Brest-Litovsk to en-
ter into the peace the Bolsheviki de-
sire.
"But as for any strike propaganda,
as far as l am personally concerned
and from all l know, the reports are
ridiculous"

March Expected
To Reorganize
General Staff
Baker Awaits Word From
Pershing Before Naming
Him Its Chief

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Speeding up
Of General Staff activities is expected
to follow the appointment of Major
General Peyton C. March as acting
Chief of Staff of the army, announce
ment of which depends only on lvices
from General Pershing that the officer
can be spared from his duties as CHIEF
of artillery of the expeditionary forces.
Secretary Baker would not discuss
his plans to-day, but it is known that
he has determined upon General March
as the most suitable officer to take over
the work Of this important post. Gen.
eral Bliss, the staff chief, will remain
in France as the permanent representa-
tive of the United States on the Su-
preme War Council, which determines
policies to be carried out on the various
fronts.
Both officers and civilians who have
returned from France recently have
brought back word of the impression
General March had created by the en-
ergy and skill displayed in organiza-
tion of his own branch of the service
under General Pershing. Private mes
the American commander approved the
selection and would not block General
March's appointment. but so far as is
known no official reply has come from
General Pershing.
Coming from many months of close
contact with the fighting fronts in
France, General March will be able to
put into his task as head of the army
all the knowledge he had acquired as TO
modern warfare. He is reputed by his
fellow officers to be man of quick de-
cisions, quality regarded as vital in q
successful Chief of Staff. Upon that
official rests the burden of seeing to it
that the various bureaus of the depart
ment, as we'll as the line of the arn,y
work out their problems in harmony.
During the time General Bliss and
his predecessor, Major General Hugh l..
Scott, were absent on foreign missions
there was tendency for important
eral Staff Office. 1t has been difficult
to get final decision on even urgent
questions, as the officers acting we're
said to be hestant about going outside
any policy laid down by the actual
General March will not be so ham
pered. His appointment as acting chief
carries with it as much weight as
though he were to be made Chief of
Staff, and his policies will be his own
officers who know him say he will not
hesitate to assert himself and take con-
troll of the situation.

ant Chief of Staff, and now acting chief,

terday, hanging around the hole Of
what they have always claimed was the
onlX original grounding.
They spread lettuce leaves and tur-
nips about the animals doorstep, in the
hope of enticing him forth. One of the
watchers, after an hours waiting, went
home, and returned with gun.
"When the darned cuss comes out"
he asserted, "he's going to stay out this
time"
But the grounding never came. BY
dusk the watch party broke up and de-
parted, their faith in the "only origi-
nal" entirely gone.
From Winsted, Conn.,, the report
comes that the furry arbiter Of winter
did not appear, for the good reason that
he was frozen stiff. down at the bottom
of his burrow. The frost has pene-
trated five feet, and no one ever heard
OF woodchuck going down that far.
Wiseacres predicted that the grounding
was in cold storage and that therefore
winter would remain for goodness
knows how long.

Cabinet Member
Going to France to
Join In Conference

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-One of
President Wilson's official family is
going to France.
The emissary, an integral part of
the United States government, is to be
sent in order that the connection be-
tween this government and those of
our allies may be closer. When de-
cisions Of the war council are to be
submitted to the various governments
that of the United States will have
its representative on the ground with
plenary powers. and no time will be
wasted by reason of the 5000 miles
of water separating the war council
from this country.
Whatever Cabinet member goes will
take with him a complete staff of as
sistants, SO that he can deal personally
with the problems of his department
as they are affected by the war.
1t is said that the man most familiar
with the battle situation probably will
be sent, as the questions to be decided
will be almost exclusively military in
character in all probability.

The organization was to be under the

Speeches of Sir F. T
Smith Indiscreet, Is
Charge

Sir Frederick Smith, Attorney Gen.
eral of England. who came to the
United States early in January, has
been hastily recalled to London. While
no official explanation of the British
governments summary orders for his
return has been made, it became known
yesterday that speeches made by 81,
Frederick and interviews given by him
to newspapermcn here not only caused
surprise in administrative circles ir
Washington, but so angered his own
government that, despite the fact that
the Attorney Generals lecture tour
was not completed and that negotia.
tions with the State Department which
he had begun remained unfinished, il
was decided that he had remained
in America long enough.
An attack on President Wilson's pro-
posalfor league of nations to main
war featured Sir Frederick's speech in
this city, which he delivered before the
annual convention Of the State Bar
Association on January II. After
enumerating the difficulties which he
said would attend the formation of
such a league he warned against the
danger of trusting rhetoric alone"
II am not here to disparage noble
ideals which, with restraint, but pene-
trating rhetoric, your President has
distributed to the encouragement of
his allies" he said. 81 am here as a
lawyer, addressing lawyers, and we are
cautious and careful men, and if we
do not keep our heads we'll, God help
the rest of the population"
Compelled to Explain
So much resentment arose as result
of this criticism that Sir. Frederick
was compelled to explain his speech
Speaking before the Lawyers Club on
January 12, he said that the newspaper
men who reported his address, "being
laymen, had slightly misunderstood
his attitude. No criticism of the Presi
dent had been intended. he maintained
Two days afterward, however, 81,
Frederick again caused adverse criti
cism by an interview given to Robert
l.. Norton. political writer of "The
Boston Post" which appeared in that
paper under the heading: "Machint
Guns Rule Ireland! Says Sir Frederick
Smith"
according to the Right Honorable
Sir Frederick Edwin Smith," the ar
tcle stated, "it would take something
over four and half army divisions, OF
about 10000 men, to preserve order ir
Ireland if the gov rnment attempted tt
put conscription into effect. At the
present time, on his authority there is
something like two and a half army
divisions. or about $4,000 men, plenti.
fully supplied with machine guns
keeping the peace in Ireland. The Sim
Feiners have no machine guns and
could be moved down like wheat, he
says"

recommendation that general officers,

rank be held directly responsible for
the training of the officers under them

from Generak Pershing published here

There is unfinching criticism of the

their arrival in France
General Pershmg notes an almost
total failure to give instructions in

Officers from colonels down, and in
Guiding some general officers, are found
ignorant of the handling of units in

From Boldt
Son of Founder Announces
Famous Hotel Has
Changed Hands

The Waldorf Astoria, oldest and most
famous of New York's modern hotels,
has been sold.
George C. Boldt, jr., son of the foun-
der of the hostelry, announced last
night that he had parted with the prop
erty left him by his father and that
I. Coleman Du Pont was the new owner
of the building and all it's furnishings.

former associate of the elder Boldt,
will become manager of the Waldorf

For nearly twenty-five years the
Waldorf has been one of the chief
gathering spots for the social life that
streams up and down the Avenue and

The Waldorf was opened by the late
George c. Boldt on March ia, 1893. Fac
ing on Thirty third Street, it contained
500 rooms. For it's day it was mag

that persons were inclined to laugh at
M. Boldt. There was no room for such

This annex, which was built by the
late John Jacob Astor, added 1000
rooms to the hotel. The original build

One Member of Upper

[Staf CorTespondence1

WASHINGTON, Feb. "A bill grant

make any changes he may desire in
the executive departments has been
sent up to the Senate by the White
House, as the Administrations idea as
to the proper legal reorganization of
the war-making branches of the gov

changes, but merely authorizes the
President to change Offices and confer
authority as he may deem it necessary
TO change present processes, with a
view to coordiaating the war activities,
and reduce working at cross purposes.
The bill was sent to a strong Ad-

nounced, however. that he would
neither introduce the bill nor vote that
it should be brought up.
