Baker Wants Young Man
The qualifications OF General March
for duties have been-hiahly spoken Of
BY officers Of General Pershins', staff.
Secretary Baker has had under con.
sideration for some time the urgent
necessity Of putting a young mar at the
head Of the staff to coordinate the
military branches Of the army, Several
OF the general officers have been dis
eussed for the post. Major General
Biddle, assistant chief of staff and now

Bliss, will continue as assistant, so far
a. is known.
Coordination IL Object.
Army officers see in the appointment
OF General March promise OF a mdre
thorough uniting Of all war depart
rnent agencies than has beef possible

zion in which the general staff has
found itself since the entrance OF the
United States into the war. Wien the

OF staff, was promptly detached for
duty in Russia with the Root tonmis-
sion. General Bliss, as his assistant,
