WILLIAMS NOMINATION
HELD UP BY SENATORS
Letter Written Several Years Ago
Criticising Woodrow Wilson
Is Cause.
Presidents Opinion Of Missive
Penned by Proposed Minister to
Greece Being Sought.

The nomination of George Fred Will
liams of Massachusetts as minister to
Greece is held up in the Senate commit
tee on foreign relations pending the ex-
preston Of opinion by President Wilson
regarding a letter which Mr. Williams
wrote few years ago to former Sena-
tor Pettigrew of North Dakota, critizis-
ing Woodrow Wilson in no uncertain
terms. Democratic members of the COM
mittee are anxious to know whether the
President knew of this letter before he
made the appointment
Mr.. Williams was an ardent supporter
of William Jennings Bryan. when the lat
ter was fighting for free silver. In his
letter to Mr.. Pettigrew Mr.. Williams said
in part:
Dear Senator: Since We visited Gov.
Wilson last summer and carried away
such pleasant Impressions of his person
aiity and conversation | have had hopes
that he might be the solution of our
presidential problem.
Shocked by His History.
This week 1 have been shocked at the
reading of his fifth volume of his History
of the American People,, published in
1902. 1t is toryism of the blacklist type
it is not a history of the American peo-
pie, but a history of Woodrow Wilson $
admiration for everything which the
radical democracy now seeks to change
and series OF sneers and insults to
every class of men who have sought to
alleviate the injustice of capitalism.
think Senator Aldrich would have written
with more charity and less bitterness
The worst is that there is no note of SYM
pathy for any suffering and protesting
class, but he seems to search for phrases
to show his contempt for them.
Il have repeatedly defended the sin
certify of Mr.. Wilson's recent change of
his views. I do not doubt it at all. But
1T is clear that he has had profound con-
tempt for the Farmers Alliance, the
popuiists. greenbackers, b.metallists,
trade unions, small oniceseekers, itanans,
Po.es, Hungarians, pensioners. strikers,
armies of unemployed. To him these
classes represented no economic wrongs.
Cleveland has been his worshiped idol as
President. He has regarded the east
and the bankers as the soc custodian of

GEN. WOOD TO COMMAND
EASTERN DEPARTMENT
Headquarters at Governors Island
Following Retirement as
Chief of Staff.

Secretary Garrison announced today
that upon the expiration of the four
year detail of Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood
as chief of staff of the army next April
he will be assigned to command the East
ern Department, with headquarters at
Governors Island, n. V, succeeding Maj.
Gen. Thomas H. Barry, who will go to
the Philippines Department in March.
Secretary Garrison said he had not select
ed Gen. Woods successor as chief of
staff. and probably would not do SO very
soon.
Other Assignments.
Mai. Gen. Franklin Bell, when relieved
of duty in the Philippines, win take
command of the second infantry division
at Texas City, succeeding Maj. Gen. w.
III. Carter.
Brig. Gen. Thomas f. Davis, command
ing the 9TH Infantry Brigade at Calves
ton, will take command of the 9th at the
same place.
Brig Gen. Charles j. Bailey, at present
at Fort Worden, Washington, goes 10
command the North Atlantic coast AT
tillery District.
Gossip as to Woods Successor.
The prospective transfer of Gen. Wood
from Washington to New York next
April already has started gossip as to his
possible successor as chief of staff OF the
army. Maj. Gems. Bell, Barry and Carter
apparently are eliminated from the field
of candidates Gen. Bell already has
served as chief of staff, Gen. Barry has
just been assigned TO the command of the
Philippine my. and Gen. Carter has
been ordered to Hawaii. The only other
major generals are Gen. Arthur Murray,
comma nding the Western Department, at
San Francisco, and Gen. w. w. Wother-
spoon. at present assistant chief of staff
in this city. Gen. Murray will retire for
age in APP II, 1918. and Gen. Wothcrspoon
in November, 1914
Could Serve Until Retirement.
Either of these officers may he APP
pointed chief of staff to serve until re-
tirement. thus giving more time to make
q permanent detail to that Office. Be-
cause of his special familiarity with the
duties of the Office and his earlier re-
tirement, IL is intmated that Gen.
Wotherspoon stands the better chance of
selection for the temporary detail When
he etires, the President will have an
opportunity to appoint a new major gen
eral and make him chief Of staff if he so
desires.
