Maj. Gen. Peyton C. March is slated
to become acting chief of staff of the
Army if Gen. Pershing can spare him
from his present duties as chief Of ar
tillery of the expeditionary forces. No
reply has been received from Gen.
Pershing.
The selection of Gen. March means
that Gen. Bliss, chief Of staff is to re-
main permanently in Europe as the
American military representative at
the supreme war council now sitting
in France. No official statement was
available as to the action contemplat-
Cd, but it is expected that Gen. March
VII undertake his new duties in the
near future.
The permanent assignment of Gen.
Bliss to the war council may result
in aSrequest to Congress for authority
to appoint an additional general As
Gen. March will be in fact head of the
Army. it is regarded as probable that
he will be given both the rank and til
tie of chief of staff later. Gen. Bliss
being continued in similar rank. but re-
lieyed as chief of staff to permit him
to devote himself exclusively to his
work abroad.

Uniting Of War Agencies.

Army officers sec in the appointment
Of Gen. March promise Of a more thor
0ugh uniting Of all War Department
agencies than has been possible hereto
fore owing to the peculiar situation In
which the general stan has found tt
self ever since the entrance of the
United States into tho war. When the
war began, Maj Gen. Scott, chief of
staff, was promptly detached for duty
IN Russia with the Root commission.
Gen. Bliss. as his assistant, took over
the work, but did not succeed to the
title of chief Of staff until Gen. Scott's
retirement.
Almost Immediately after his eleva-
tion to that post he was, in turn, de-
tached to go to Europe, and has not
since functioned as chief of staff. 1t is
an open secret at the War Department
that there has been lack of carefully
organized STAFF work due to this situa-
ton.

6 rvice of Gen. March.

Gen. March is fifty-three years old,
and was born in Pennsylvania. from
which state he went to the military
Academy. He has been attached to the
artillery branch continuously with the
exception of duty as major, and later
as lieutenant colonel of volunteer in
fantry in 1899-1901 for Philippine serv-
fee. Gen. March commanded the Astor
battery, in the Spanish-American war.
He graduated from the artillery school
with high marks in 1898, and served
on the general staff from 1903 to 1904.
During the Russo-Japanese war he was
military observer for the United States
Army with the japanese troops.
The qualifications of Gen March for
his new duties have been highly spoken
of by officers of Gen. Pershing's staff
Secretary Baker is known to have
had under consideration for some time
the urgent necessity of putting a young
and vigorous man at the head of the
staff to coordinate all the military
branches of the Army. Several of the
general officers have been discussed
for the post, but the decision to name
Gen. March was reached only within
the last few days.
Maj. Gen. John Biddle, assistant chief
Of staff, and now acting chief. in the
absence OF GeQ. Bliss. will continue
as assistant, 50 far as is known.

TO DISCUSS BILLS
DESP|TEP PRESIDENT
Senate Plans Debate on War
Cabinet and Munition Dr.
rector Next Week.
TWO ANNOUNCE SPEECHES

Discussion of the proposed war cabi-
net and director of munitions bills will
continue in the Senate next week, not
withstanding the fact that the President
called to the White House yesterday q
number of democratic senators and told
them to put an end to the agitation for
these measures.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, DEM
ocrat. and Senator Wadsworth of Ne"
York, republican, members of the mill
tary affairs committee and in favor OF
these measures. had both given notice
Thursday they would speak, the one on
Monday and the other on Tuesday. To-
day, it was said. they had not changed
their plans.
Would Not Check Speeches.
Administration leaders in the Senate
frankly said they would not care to go
to these senators and ask them not TO
speak. IF they felt they should speak.
Senators cannot he gagged" il they
desire to speak in the Senate. under the
rules of that bedy, and they would only
be exercising the right of every sena-
tor to speak as he saw fit.
The senate military aHdiIs coiiiiIA- :
tee still has the war cabinet Dill pc
fore it. though the director OF NUM-
tjons bill has been reported to the Sem
ate and is on the calendar. Chairman
Chamberlain said today that he did not
anticipate any immediate action on the
war cabinet bill by the committee. that
the committee would continue with it's
investigation of the various branches
Of the War Department and would act
later on the bill.
Know Attitude Of President.
This does not mean that the senators
who are in favor of such legislation
have abandoned it, but merely that
thew know the attitude of the President
and the effect of .his influence against
these bills, and must await the devel-
opment of public opinion in favor of
the bills, if it does develop, before
they can hope to get favorable action
on them With the President against
them. the bills would undoubtedly be
defeated at present.
The senators attending the conference
with the President yesterday said he
reiterated his opposition to the bills
in forceful manner and declared he
would not consider compromise on
them, as has been suggested.
The administration senators said they
would endeavor to prevent speeches IN
reply to those supporting the measure
as far as they We're able, and that If
it did not appear that the speeches of
Senator Hitchcock and Senator Wads-
worth required an answer. none would
be made.

Most Picturesque of Characters.

John Laurence sullivan was one of
the most picturesque characters in the
history of prize fighting. For more
than ten years. from the time he de-
feated Paddy Ryan in 1882. in a bare
knuckle fight under the London prize
ring rules, until he was defeated by
James J. Corbett, in 1892. his person
ality and methods of fighting complete
ly dominated sporting circles in the
United States.
In the annals Of pugilism in this
country at least one notable distinction
was his-he was the last champion of
the United States to fight under the
London prize ring rules. It was largely
through his achievements that the
championship title was made a prize
of great monetary value. In the early
days of his career $1,000 a side was
looked on as great sum. He received
only $50 for the fight that made him a
national character in fisticuffs and won
him the right to challenge Paddy Ryan
for the championship.
His friends ranged all the way tom
the ordinary. fight fan" to many men
of social and FINANCIAL distinction in
the United States. and it is said he was
on cumming terms with the late King
Edward VII of England.

Take Your Medicine" al rsaIs.

In presenting "Take Your Medi-
cine" next Sunday, Mr.. Teal does so
with the conviction that while many
have seen the show on its previous
presentation, who were so favorably
impressed that a large number went
twice to see it, that there is a large
percentage Of the soldiers in Camp
Cody who, owing to quarantine regu-
lations and other causes, were I'M
able to gete to town at the time, aad
therefore believes that a repetition
Of the very best productions present
ed during the early period Of the
cOmpany's stay in Deming will be
hailed with pleasure by those having
been told Of their merit. "Take Your
Medicine" is one Of the funniest
comedies ever written, being full Of
clever dialogue, a consistent story,
as well as a number Of especially
good song and dance numbers. Many
Of the later are new and were not
used at the previous presentation Of
the piece.
Raymond Teal will also be largely
in evidence with a new supply Of
parOdies and songs.

South Dakota Ex-Governor Here.

Ex-Governor Frank Z. Byrne Of
South Dakota was a visitor to Camp
Cody several days during the past
week. His son, Lieut.. Byrne, is. with
the l27th machine gun battalion, and
Gov Byrne's trip here was for the
double purpose Of visiting with him
and making an inspection Of the
camp with especial reference to the
South Dakota soldiers. He witnessed
the veriew at the polo field Satur-
day morning, and was greatly i'm.
pressed with that event Before
leaving for home last Monday he
stated that he found conditions at
camp far better than reports in his
home state had led him 20 expect
and that he saw no real reason for
any complaint.

S. senator on the Republican ticket
in the election now looming up in he

Deming school children were given
a treat last Friday afternoon by
Manager Hawkins Of the Isis, who
made them his guests, free of charge,
at a special matinee performance of
'Robinson Crusoe." The story is
one that every child knows and the
Isis was crowded to capacity with
happy kiddies eager to see the pic

the children and Manager Hawkins
seemed to get fully as much enjoy

Food Win Win the War is apt
to become a discredited slogan with
the complete German victory on the
eastern front, which gives the Huns
the inexhaustible resources Of the
Russian wheat fields and definitely
removes all danger Of starvation for
Germany. We can't starve Germany
into submission now. But We can
keep her from starving US, so let the
food conservation campaign 60 mcr-
rily on. Only it might be well to
change the slogan to "A Food Short
