Friction Between March and
Pershing Denied.

Washington, Sept. 10.-Just a brief
line from Lord Northc1iffe's paper,
limiting at a shift in the British army
command and perhaps in the Ameri-
can, has caused broad speculation
here.
But as far as it was possible to as
certain today there is no present pros
peet of removing General Pershing
from leadership of the A. E. F. Off
Gals who should know. said they
doubted it would happen now and af-
firmed that they had heard no dis
cussion thereof.
No Fiction With March.
Others said that there is no friction
between Pershing and Chief of Staff
March, who is the ranking officer of
the whole army organization.
From time to time there have been
ralmors of differences between the two
men. But these differences are char
acterized as purely honest differences
of opinion without the semblance of a
split or tinge of army policies about
them.
Lord Northcliffe limited that Hafg
would ask leave of absence and might
be replaced by General Wilson. AT
the same time he intimated that there
might be change in the American
command as there has been in the
French and italian.
