Brigadier General Haywood, commanding
the marine corps, to-day called at the
Navy Der erartment and had a pleasant talk
with Secretary Moody, whom Major Waller
had not met. 1t was stated that the con-

pleasantries the secretary praising in gen
erous terms the work of the marines in
the Philippines, and General Haywood
adding a few words in the same vein.
Major Waller looks very well and sturdy
for a man who has been through such a
terrible campaign. but is suffering from an
attack of laryngitis, which makes speaking
for any length of time an arduous task.
He is on leave of absence and is en- route
TO his native town, Norfolk, Va, where the
citizens will present him with sword and
give a banquet in his honor.
