"ITTTLE TO GAIN IN THE ARMY.

Speculation IS active over General Woods Visit
n the United States. 1t has been variously
stated. or hinted. or guessed. that he has dis
agreed with other authorities. that ne mas re-
signed his commission that he is going TO re-
sign. that he will not return to santiago ue
Cubo that he will 60 back for only short
time. and so forth. The facts seem 10 De lh"'
no has not resigned that he has had no disa-
preement. that he is going back to Cupa III
few DAYS presumably TO stay there as long aS
he is needed and that, while he mas hau 'he
offer of the presidency OF business corporat'oh'
he has not accepted 1t and has given no hin'
thot no means TO do so. The most signncant
feature of the whole quid nunc discussion. now
ever. Is the presumption that he WILL as mat
for NJ course retire from the Army and enter
the service Of the corporation. because he Is "A
"man who has nothing further to gain In the
"military service" In that there is food 1or
thought.
For General Wood is precisely the kind OF
man who ought TO have something to gain In
whatever branch OF the public service ne IS en-
gagged. He has been and Is faithful ser
want His record before the war with SPAN
was uniformly good In that war, IN all parts
OF the campaign, 1t was admirable. since the
war. as n military administrator. he has SHOWN
himself exceptionally sagacious, energetic anu
efficient. II any one were asked 10 name 'ne
three or four Army officers who in all respects
had reflected most credit upon the service our
ing the last twelve or fifteen months we sup
nose he would unhesltatingly put General WOOD
among them And yet we are told that he mas
nothing further to gain in the service heaiy'
il would not be cause for surprise or Indignation
e an intelligent foreigner should remark that II
&c then so much the worse for the service ana
for the Nation. One would think that II there
were ANYTHING for anybody to GAIN and II there
were encouragement for anybody to remain III
the public service II would be for the best men.
We are not arguing for General Wood per-
sonallv. but for the type of man and for the
kind Of public service of which he happens at
this time 10 be one of the most conspicuous eX-
ponents 1t is an undisputed fact that many
Lureaucrats. with friends or relatives In Coit
rress. find much TO gain In the service. III they'
why not such men as General Wood, though In
q somewhat different way? For, after all. the
chief question is not what there Is for the indi-
yidual TO gain, but for the service and for the
Nation to gain. There are men who are nndlng
much gain for themselves In the service. though
the Nation gains mighty little by their staying
in IT, Surely, when the Nation gains much by
having a certain man in it's service there ought
TO be some way Of making II worth his while to
remain in that service.
