eral John Biddle, who recently was
relieved by Major General Peyton C.
March, as acting chief of staff, is to
command all American troops in
England, it is understood. Army or
ders show the assignment of two of
ficers as aides on his staff.
General Biddle was appointed as
sistant chief of staff, just before Gen
eral Bliss made li s first trip to Eu
rope, as a member cf the Supreme'
War Council. He relinquished that (By o. o. Mclntyre, Special Corre-
post as well as his place as acting
rhief on the .arrival cf General March
and Brigadier Genera William
Graves is now acting as assistant to
General March.
Under new regulations General
March has five assistants, all general
officers. HeJs understood to be con
sidering now the selection of officers
to fill these posta permanently, the
department having announced that
the present incumbents held office,
temporarily, pending the arrival and
action of the new acling chief.
Major General George T. Hartlett
has been incommand in England",
where several American units, includ
ing engineers and heavy artillery,
have been training at British camps.
It is not known to what post General
Bartlett has been assigned.
The appointment of General Biddle
revived speculation as to the course
the War Department may take in re
gard to the proposal that American
troops be trained completely with the
British war machine as well as with
the French. The plan included front
line training in the trenches in Flan
ders, although after training was.
completed the forces would be. sent
to join General Pershing's army.

and pay heed to the voice of science.
Realize that Catarrh comes fronr a
germ which infests the blood, and that
the disease cannot exist when these
germs are routed from the blood. Tne
rational and successful treatment,
therefore, is one that- reaches the
bloqd, and cleanses it of every trace
of impurity and, rids it of these tiny
catarrh germs. Of course no locai
remedies can reach the blood supply,
and that is why Catarrh is not cured
by sprays and lotions.
The one great blood remedy that
has made a wonderful record is S. S.
S., which has been on sale by drug
stores everywhere for nearly half a
century. If you would be rid of your
Catarrh, get a bottle of this great ohi
