The Evening Wisconsin, Milwau.
kee, Wis, published a press Ireport
to the effect that injustice was done
Major General Grant by sending him
TO Chicago and ordering Major Gem
eral Wood to Governors Island in his
place, The statement was absurd
upon Its face, but some one signing
himself Veteran" takes the trouble
TO contradict 1t in letter published
by the Wisconsin The writer says:
General Wood was at the head OF
the list of brigadiers In 1903, when
there was u vacancy. and President
Roosevelt gave him the promotion tO
which he was entitled. that OF major
general, AS such he ranked General
Grant several years In the age OF
commission and is the ranking major
general of the Army, and hence was
entitled to- the 'favorite' assignment
given him to succeed General Grant.
II was M slight to General Grant as
the quoted paragraph implies that
IL was. No one envies General Grant
his good fortune or would knowing
ly slight him. If General Wood had
not been willing to serve much lon
ger term in the Philippines than any
other American general has had, he
would have relieved General Grant
two or three years ago, hence Gen
oral Grant, and not General Wood
has been favored The only favor.
itism, II any, shown General Wood
was by President Mckinley, when he
made him a brigadier general from
the rank of captain, at about tho
Time that he made brigadiers OF two
others, Grant and Funston, who thcr
had no rank In the Regular Army.
General Wood Is the senior of Gener,
al Grant In length of service as wei
al In relative rank.
Although Col. Edgar s. Dudley, O
the j. a. Generals Department o
tho Army, does not retire until June
II next, speculations as to who Is Il
I'll the vacancy his retirement viii
create In his department would seen
TO be somewhat premature, but ap
plications for the prospective vacan
~ are HuHltTOus' IL 10 uuucTsloo'
that an officer of experience in thu
work of the J. A. Generals Depart
ment has already been decided upon
The officer Immediately following
Colonel Dudley in rank, Lieut.. Col
Harvey c. Carbaugh, does not retir
until April II, 1922, and the senio
colonel, Il. II. Crowder. until yea
later. The next vacancy will occu
