It is said ON good authority that Gem
eral Wood is slated to succeed General
Sternberg as surgeon general of the
army, when the latter retires by law in
June Of the coming year. The surgeon
generalship would place General Wood
at the head Of the medical stan Of the
American army ait but little over IS
years OF age, making him the youngest
officer ever holding this responsible po-
sition. 1t would leave him 25 years Of

General Wood has taken a house in
Washington, where he has moved with
his family, and it is thought this is
another indication that he will make
his permanent residence here at no
very distant date.
