Administration is to Requestl the Authority of Congress in Near Future. ‘Washington, Jume 17.—Authority to readjust the entire foreign-loan Situation so that the nation’s outstanding credits may be put into more definite form is to be requested of consress in the near future by the administration. The administrations plan, which was discussed at length at todays cabinet meeting, contemplates conversion of the loans owed by European nations into in- terest-bearing certificates whica could be absorbed by Awerican business and com- mercial interests. Congress will be asked by Secretary of the Treasury.Mellon to give his depart- ment sufficient authority to make these conversions. In some cases the depart- ment already has that authority under the Liberty loan act, but there are other instances, particularly relating to over- due interest, where additional legislative action is necessary. It is understood that ths president’s policy with regard to unpaid interest con- templates a distribution of the overdue payments over a long period of vears. An increase in the interest rate would be used to absorb these amounts.

PERSHING TO SUCCEED GEN, MARCH ON NOV. L Washington, June 17.—~Major General Peyton C. March, chief of staff of the army, will retire from active service on Nov. 1.

General March will go to Europe after his retirement, it is understood, to write on military subjects involved in the world war. His request for retirement was made by letter to Secretary Weeks June 14 and approved today. On that day General March concluded thirty- seven years' service in the army, seven more than is necessary under hte law allowing officers to retire from active serviee “I cannot seyer my active connection with the war department.” the general wrote Secretary Weeks, “without ex- pressing my appreciation of the unfailing consideration you have accorded me per- sonally, und in the performance of my duties as chief of staff you have given me constant support. I wish and pre- dict the greatest success for your admin- istration of the affairs of the war depart- ment.” General March was chief of artillery of the American . expeditionary forces in France when the decision of President Wilson to assign General Blis: then chief of staff, to the supreme war coun- cil, necessitated selection of his successor.
