upon her return. No work along this
line has as yet been done in Redwood
County, as it can only be done under
the direction of one who has taken
this course and with the proper au-
thority. The work is one of the most
important branches of Red Cross work
and will undoubtedly be taken up with
great interest by the varicus chap
ters. Mrs. Winter is to be COM
mended for taking this course as she
does it at considerable sacrifice of
time from her own personal affairs.
The Melting Pot was splendidly
rendered last Wednesday night at the
Armory when Professor Clark of the
University Of Chicago read it. The
story is gripping one and Mr.. Clark S
reading was especially forceful and
his impersonations, particularly of
the musician David, strong and vivid.
The reading was prefaced by one of
the most convincing talks on true pa
triotism that the Redwood Falls au-
dience has heard in long time. Mr..
Clark showed plainly that America
has as yet made no real sacrifices and
that we as individuals have done no
real work for the cause for which we
are fighting. His picture of immi-
grant Americans and The treatment
given them was a newx thought to
many of the unthinking and added
greater realism to the reading of the
play following his talk. MrA Clark
also made talk to the boys, and
girls of the high school Thursday
morning before leaving.

CHANGES IN ARMY GENERAL STAFF
AreExpecfe Follow the Arrival in France of Major Gene rzl Peyton C. March Reorganization of the Staff is Nowin Progress.

General March brings to the head of the staff intimate personal knowledge of conditions in France. He has disz cussed every phase of the relationship between the war department and the expeditionary forces with General Pershing and it is anticipated that complete harmony of action and pur- pose will prevail on both sides of the water under bis direction.
 The remarks made by General March today on his arrival indicate his desire for a less rigorous censorship. as to actions of American troops in France caused some comment among army officers here. A majority of them agree that much more could be told with safety as to the, doifgs abroad than has been the practice up to this time. Secretary Baker has taken the position, however, that all information as to the movements of General Per shing's forces must come through that officers censor. He has held that the war department was too remote to exercise any jurisdiction over this subject.
 If there has been any misunder- standing as to censorship between General Pershing and the department General March probably will be nLle to clear it up quickly.
 The discussion of the new ctiks's probable attitude as to censorship brought out the fact that some officers have been a little disturbed as to tbe nature of information the censors abroad have been permitting to come through, particularly as to the recent gas attacks upon the American troopt by German batteries. It was suggested that information as to the effect of the gas shells and to the casualties caused might be of actual military value tc the enemy.

Wn1zfnEhnn. March 1s-fVumeUus changes in the personnel of the gem er1l stan of the army are expected fo foElpzF the arrival here of Major General Reyton c March, who landed al an Atlantic port today, returning from France to assume his duties sss acting chief of the staff.
 It is understood that one of the first acts of the new chief will be to name snocessor for Major General John Eiddie, assistrnt chief of staff, and who has been acting as head of that body since General Bliss was assigned to tho supreme war council in Europe. There are indications that General Biddio has already been selected for nn important command in Europe, and It is known that he would prefer duty Ibruad.
 RoorEznizaffOn of the general stzzf recently edleceed Is now in operation. I hns been stated officially, however that the general officers recently as- signed to duty as directors of the five major divisions of the staff are hold Ing thcir positions temporarily. This action was taken in order to permit Gonrz1 March to name his own as- IEfstants in carrytng out the task of coordination of the purely military ofte of the army.
 Each of these directors is an assist ant to the chief of staff with power to act fn the name of the secretary or of the chief of stan in matters per taiuing to his own particular field. By rlfs mems an organization has been built up for General March in such a way that he will be able to devote his own time almost wholly to the broader problems of the department. leaving detail work to his assistants and quickly famfliarizing himself with con- dluons throughout the army.
