GEN. WOOD IS RELIEVED
HOME DOING HIS WORK DUR
ING CONVALESCENCE.
Invalid Is Doing Well and May Be
Again at Desk in Few
Weeks.

Owing to the fact that Maj. Gen. Wood
has not yet recovered from the effects
of an operation he underwent at Johns
Hopkins recently, President Taft has di-
rected Brig. Gen. Walter Howe TO as
sumo temporary command OF the Depart
ment of the East.
Gen. Wood is convelescing rapidly, how
ever. 1t is expected he will he able to
resume active duty within 4 few weeks.
The operation seems to have been en-
tirely successful He is making progress
toward complete recovery. his friends
.Ay
When Gen. Wood was in Havana. dur
ing the occupation of Cuba by the Ameri-
can forces, he accidentally struck his head
against a chandelier over his desk, caus-
ing a depression of the skull. which had
the effect of producing something akin TO
partial paralysis. Since that time he
has not had full control OF his right side.
Not long after the accident an opera
tion was performed and a piece of the
skull removed. 1t was explained to Gen.
Wood at that time by the surgeons per-
forming the operation that during the
process of healing. the edge of the skull
where IL had been cut would likely be-
come somewhat thicker than normal and
that the depression might be expected to
continue, but in a lesser degree than be-
fore.
| 1t was also explained that second
operation to remove the abnormal devel.
| opment at the edges of the skull would
| probably become necessary. The opera
| ton performed In Baltimore some days
ago was for the purpose of scraping the
edge of the skull where it had previously
| been cut.
| No particular alarm is felt among of
| ficials of the War Department at Gen
Woods condition. II is confidently ex.
| pected that he will be able to leave this
| hospital within the next few weeks and
| take UP his duties of chief-of-staff by the
middle of April when Gen. Bells term
| expires.
