.BIDDLE TOCOMMAND
TROOPS IN ENGLAND
Former Assistant Chief of Staff
Transferred to Active Ser
vice Abroad.

Washington d. c., March 12.--Mai.
Gen. John Biddle. who recently was re:
lieved by Mai. Gen. Peyton G. Marsh
as acting chief of staff, is to command
all American troops in England, 1t is
understood. Army orders today show
the assignment of two officers as aids
on his staff.
Maj. Gen. George T.. Bartlett has
been in command in England, where
several American units. including engi-
neers and heavy artillery. have been
training at British camps 1t is not
known to what post General Bartlett
goes.
General Biddle was appointed assist
ant chief of staff just before General
Bliss made his first trip to Europe as
member of the supreme war council.
He relinquished that post as we'll as
his place as acting chief on the arrival
of General March. Brig. Gen. William
Graves is now acting as assistant to
General March.
Under new regulations, General
March has five assistants, all general
officers He is understood to be con
sidering now the selection of officers to
fill these posts permanently.
General Biddle's designation revives
speculation as to the course the war
department may take in regard to the
proposal that American troops be
trained completely with the British
war machine as we'll as with the
French. The suggested plan Included
front line training in the trenches in
Flanders. although after training is
completed, the forces would be sent to
-. cssasral PershinE's army.

ON GUARD

At this time of the year peopleNfeel
weak, tired, listless, their blood is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and bnckaches, have
clear eyes, smooth, rudy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body Good, pure,
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood. It is to be noticed in the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.
Drink hot water half hour before
meals, and for vegetable tonic there's
nothing better than Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the old-fashioned
herbal remedy, which has had such a
fine reputation for fifty years. 1t con-
tains no alcohol or narcotics. 1t is
made from Golden Seal root, Blood
root, Oregon grape root, Queens root,
Black Cherry bark, extracted with gly-
.erine and made into tablets ard liquid.
Tablets sixty cents, at most drug stores.
In order to insure pure blood and to
build up the system try this tonic

Discovery. Get 1t now

Reports to hand indicate that West

until the end of November. In fact, in

Alberta, there was sufficient mild
weather In January of this wear TO
permit farmers to pillow, and many
took advantage of 1t. A great many
Americans owning land in Canada
moved up last year. and this has also
helped to increase the acreage. They
came into possession of the land at
prices varying from $500 to $4,000
an acre. and with the proven Yields

"Since the beginning Of the year

GERMANY TO CURTAIL
TRADE WITH NORWAY
Cancels Contracts When Tha,
Country Enters Agreement
With U. S.

London. March 12.-All contracts
with Norway have been annulled by the
German Central Purchasing company
from March 1G, according to a Bergen
dispatch to the Tidens Tegn, of Christi
ania. as quoted in an Exchange tele-
graph dispatch from Copenhagen. The
reason for this action, the dispatch
says, Is that the Norwegian agreement
with America provides for the exporta-
ton of only $4,000 tons of fish yearly to
Germany The company's office at Ber-
gen has been closed.
The action of the German Central
Purchasing company. Il semi-official
concern. is in line with the recently
adopted policy Of hostility toward the
Scandinavian countries which has fol-
lowed German ascendancy in Finland.
Having strengthened herself in the
north Germany apparently plans to
overawc the Scandinavian nations and
make the Baltic 9 German lake.

We're current here today that Count

been under strict surveillance and that
last night he, the former German naval
attache and a large group of other Ger
mans passed through Puente Del Inca

for Chile. After an Investigation Of
these reports the foreign office said
they were untrue and that it had been
assured by the police that the count
was still here under guard. The for

How a British air squadron captured
two German airplanes in full flight
near Client. Belgium, is told in tele-
gram from the Dutch Belgian frontier.
The British airmen being in heavy
numerical superiority, surrounded their
opponents. The Germans saw there
was no chance of escape. Rather than
fight to inevitable death. the two Ger
man pilots hung out white flags and
meekly flew away toward the British
lines surrounded by a flock of British
planes.
