ALL TO HELP WOOD.
President Roosevelt Tries to Stop the
Fight Being WaScd.

Washington, December 22.@To
some of the Senators who have par
ticularly Interested themselves in the
pending Wood nomination. with an
eve especially to the protection OF
some OF the veteran officers of the
army. the President has expressed
himself very plainly, to the effect
that these officers have nothing to
fear in the Immediate ruture. AS it
was pointed out to him that there
was considerable apprehension
among the friends of these army
officers lest upon the retirement Of
General Chaffee with the rank of
lieutenant general, the President
might appoint Major General Leon
ard Wood to be lieutenant general,
involving the jumping" of a num-
Der of distinguished general officers
who never would nave a chance to
attain the highest rank by reason
of General Woods i~ncumbency in
the place for fifteen years, the Presi-
dent has expressly declared hat he
has no such intention. incidentally
that involved an undertaking on his
part to promote some of these gen
eral officers referred to after Gen
eral Chaffee's retirement. He did
not state that when he had more
such promotions as he saw fit he
would not close the list by appoint
ing General Leonard Wood to bs
lieutenant general. The understand
ing thus reached with the committee
is expected to have an important in
fuence upon the action that will be
had upon the Wood nomination.
