regiments to be raised and equipped

So Leonard Wood got his commission colonel
Of the First United States Volunteer cavalry
known as "Roosevelt's Rough Riders"
Twenty-one days after he received his colonel's
commission his regiment, gathered from four from
tier countries, was being drilled in San Antonio.
When the Rough Riders were ordered to advance
from the seashore at Slboney, Cuba; to meet the
enemy at La Guasimas-the first fight Of Skaters
army-Col Wood moved out with the head of his
regiment at such a pace that almost half Of his
men were left far in the rear.

December, 1898, just year and seven months after
our two adventurers took the Rough Riders to the
Caribbean sea, Leonard Wood, the poor surgeon,
was major general Of volunteers and appointed
military governor of Cuba; and Theodore Roosevelt
was the governor-elect Of the great state OF New
York.

EARLY in 1906 Gen. Wood took command Of the
entire Philippines division, which includes nearly
$4,000 troops. For more than two years he put his
tremendous energy to the task Of emphasizing the
training Of soldiers for actual conditions Of war,
treating administrative methods, not as an object,
but as means. At the end Of his long and brilliant
service In the Philippines he returned to the United

to rise from the pale anxieties Of
his profession by serving as SOL
dier; Mr.. Roosevelt had tried to
live down the effete influences of
a Harvard course, and fashionable
New York social connections, by
becoming ranchman on the plains
of North Dakota. Each was eager
for distinction, mad for manly ad-
venture. There was but two years
difference between their ages.
Together the man who was to be
president Of the United States and
he who was to be eAief general of
the American army walked and
talked, day after day, punched each
others bodies, whacked each 9TH

wrestled, ran, rode side by side and
lived the strenuous life to the ut

The earth danced beneath the
feet of the comrades as they talked
Of everything that might open the
path of useful adventure and glory
to their strength and courage.
They looked into the seeds of time
for signs of dangers to be desper-
ately encountered and honors to be
won.
Then, as the prospects of war
with Spain seemed to approach re-
ality, the spirits of the two rose.

In 1880, when Leonard was stalwart ouicl
witted youth Of 20 years, the Wood family de-
bated whether he should enter Harvard univer
slty. That was the very time when Theodore
Roosevelt was graduated from Harvard, The iron
muscled young Yankee. who was already a.
notable cross-country runner, wanted to enter the
army or navy. The spirit of adventure was strong
IN him. But the wishes Of his sober old father pre-
vailed, and, having obtained scholarship he

Is interesting to know that although he followed
his fathers wishes by entering medical school
he there became the chum of a son Of an armv
captain. and, while studying medicine, he actually
began to prepare himself for military career by
reading military SCIENCE and in every wav pos
sible sought to fit himself for the army entrance
examinations.

doctor went into general practice in that CITY,

There was no vacancy for him, but presently
he got letter from the surgeon general at Wash

AS the letter suggested service in the west the
