WOOD SLATED
FOR THE CANAL
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON July 13.-In view of
the presidents praise of the executive
methods of General Leonard Wood,
there is little room for doubt that the
next army order issued will be one
detaching him from his division and
detailing him for duty on the isthmus
officers of the army now connected
with the canal service, but still in
Washington, are united in the belief
that the man whose good military and
sanitary work in Cuba called forth
praise will be made supervising chief
of labor in the canal construction
Not all army men are fond of the gen
eral personally, but they will be a
unit in hailing with qualification the
appointment of an army man who will
see that things are done-come fight
flood or fever
There has been feeling at Washing
ton for some time past and it has been
making itself manifest recently all over
the country that the saving of time
and the salvation of men depend
largely upon giving the army a large
share of control on the isthmus. Ar
my officers "stay put" it is said. They
cannot leave their posts in face of dis
ease any more than they can leave
them on the eve of battle. Furthermore
the army learns lessons in sanitation
as 1t learns lessons in tactics.
General Wood was surgeon before
he was a soldier. He is at once a doc
tor and disciplinarian, and the feel
ing here is that civilian employees will
feel safer in Panama when they know
that the man who cleaned Cuba is in
command.

JAPAN OBJECTED
To MURAV|EFF
SPEECH AT HAGUE CREATED
MUCH ILL FEELING
MADE ll.L-TlMED CRITICISM
Used His Position as President of the
Arbitration Tribunal to Pass
Reflections on Merits Of
Present War
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press,
ST. PETERSBURG, July 13.-Japan
is said to have complained of remarks
made when M. Muravieff was presi-
dent of the arbitration tribunal at The
Hague which decided against Vene-
zuela the claims of the blockading pow
ers for preferential treatment. After
the delivery of the decision M Mura-
vieff reviewed it and said that arbitra-
tions begun in times of peace had end
ed among the sinister acts of war,
which was terrible obstacle in the
path of light and progress. In spite of
all good will, no one was secure against
an unexpected hostile attack.
A nation was obliged to ac-
cept war when the legitimate de-
fense of honor and liberty was in
volved. The just providence which
ruled over battles would distinguish be-
tween right and unfounded pretensions.
At the end of this war between an
European and an Asiatic people the
right would shine out afresh.
The Japanese minister at The Hague
asked his government for Instructions
in regard to M. Muravieffs speech, but
the outcome of the step has never been
made known.

officers arriving to conduct extradition

Judge Lampman to address the court
