GENERAL WOOD WILL

MAJOR GENERAL WILL HAVE
NOTHING TO DO WITH TRAIN

ANNOUNCEMENT SURPRISING
New Order Issued BY Department Re-
lievlng All Commanders Of That
Duty.--Supervlsion Of Training to
DevoIve on the Division officers.

An announcement that will be re-
ceived with a great deal of interest
and no inconsiderable disappointment
particularly throughout the south, Is
that making 1t known that Maj Ger
Leonard Wood, now commander OF
the department Of the southeast and
the ranking officer OF the United States
army, will have nothing to do with the
training OF the hundreds OF thousands
of young men to be sent TO the train
ing camps In his department.
And just as General Wood will be
relieved Of any connection with the
training of the men, so will the other
department commanders be relieved
of that responsibility, and the duty Of
supervising the training OF the great
number OF young men to make up the
army being prepared for the war with
Germany will rest upon division COM
manders, of whom there will be scores
and who are yet unnamed.
This Ia due to an order recently Is
sued by the war department which,
up to this time, has not been pub.
lished, taking the duty OF supervising
the training Of the men at the va
rious camps away from the depart
ment commanders and placing 1t with
the division or camp commanders,
who will be at the various training
camps. Therefore, with the arrival OF
troops at camp In any of the de.
partments, the responsibility OF the
commander Of that department for
the discipline at that camp, its rules,
regulations, or any connection what
ever with the camp will cease except
of course, that he will continue to be
commander Of the department, but
that department headquarters will be-
come really little more than a supply
depot, storeroom, or quartermaster's
depot.
And as is General Wood relieved Of
this responsibility in the department
Of the southeast so art the other de-
partment commanders. Generals Bell,
Barry, Parker and the others, who
are the highest officers in the regu.
lar army.

same department Of Oklahoma we'd hear no talk Of
food crisis That department is sending fish out to stock
the iakes Oklahoma farms There will be an abundance
Of free fish for farmers.
Oklahoma acted wisely in establishing the two state
fish hacheries The movement is OF the most con
sucve In the history Of the state probably being sur
pased only by the expansion of the public school system
While many farmers still content to call at the gro
Gerry story and buy fish in cans lot Of them banished
hat idea and built small lakes waste land The little
iakss are being stocked The farmers who these fish
reserves freely Of the fnny fellows and sell their
hoss At l6 cents pound That will be fine display OF
real food conservation.
Yet the fish industry In Oklahoma is hardly started
in great accomplishments This year the tests made
have assured the value Of the enterprise The fish hatch
eves will grow and every farmer who overlooks having
lake to guarantee fresh fish for the dinner table neg
ieetins gift which is denied the city man.
