Mr.. Baird entered railway service
in 1870 with the Illinois Central, serv-
ing out his apprenticeship there as q
boilermaker. From the Illinois Gen.
trail he took charge of the boiler shops
Of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and
Northern railroad. Later he became
general foreman Of the boiler shops
of the Wabash in Chicago. He left
that system to take charge of the
erection OF a steel mill in Bridgeport,
Chicago. which changed the opera
ton from the hand and hooker
process to the direct process. which
means that the melting Of ore is the
only heat necessary until the product
Of the mill comes out a steel rail.

Washington, Aug. 1s-Recent re-

fosces Il they should be ordered to In

keen rivalry among the major gen
erals Of the army to take command.
General Leonard Wood ID the ranking
major general. Next in rank Is Gen.
eral Bell. General Wood, former chief
Of star, would have large claims to the
honor of commanding an expedition.
But there is reason to doubt whether
he would be permitted to do so. Gen.
eral Wood Is q republican and warm
friend Of Colonel Roosevelt Some OF
his friends have mentioned him for the
presidency. 1t is well known that at
the time Of the Vera Cruz expedition
there was talk that If there were a
campaign against Mexico City General
Wood would not lead it and 1t was
Funston who actually did command
tho Vera Cruz expedition. On the
whole, It may be doubted whether
Wood will get the leadership II there
Is another Vera Cruz expedition. Fun,
ston knows the situation fully and
there are substantial reasons why the
honor might fall to him.
General Scott, chief Of staff, though
a major general. probably would be
kept in Washington. At least, this
would be the ordinary course In the
case OF a chief of staff.
Many Fit 70 Command.
The army Is not lacking in generals
fitted for high commando Wood has
had ample experience and would give
a good account Of himself. Funston's
record is pre- eninently that of hard
fighter. If he commands in a cam
paign in Mexico there will be plenty
of action. The same Is true OF Bell.
Both had records as tireless workers
and leaders In the Philippines. With
them, there will be no such thing as
an army fighting today and then rest
ing up for weeks. 1t will be simply
endless marching and fighting. the sort
Of campaigning the Mexicans are not
used to. Altho a great deal Is said
about the difficulties this country
would encounter in campaigning in
Mexico, army officers do not doubt
that Funston or Bell with $4,000 troops
each, with needed artillery, could go
anywhere in the republic. Permanent
occupation Of towns by garrisons, OF
course, would require more men,.
