PROTEST WOODS TRANSFER
Flood Of Messages Received BY
President Wilson.

President Wilson and Secretary
Baker have received a food OF pro
tests from prominent persons in the
country, including all the Governors
of the New England States, against
the transfer of Major Gen. Leonard
Wood from Governors Island to the
command OF the newly created South
eastern Department. 1t is UNDER
stood that the governors have united
in an appeal for the retention OF
General Wood at his present post.
They contend that his presence there
is essential for the highest degree of
military protection and Is indispen-
sable as a means of obtaining re-
cruits which will be necessary for a
big afmy.
The general tenor Of the protests
Is not based on the belief that any
other than the highest motives
prompted Secretary Baker to make
the shift, but 1t is urged that the
order be revoked as a purely expedi-
emit military measure.

them to the American coastwise or

Iieves should be taken over by the

matter is of such Importance to the
entente that Ambassador Jusserano,
of France, has made a personal Visit

Norwegian Ownership n Ruse.
As a matter of cooperative mill
tary policy it is contended that these
ships will render more service TO
the common cause by being made
use of in Europe, according to the
plans of the entente when they were
ordered built. Many of the vessels
are nominally Norwegian craft, but
it is learned today that this was
merely a ruse to get around legal
obstacles, on the theory that the
United States would be neutral al
the time of their completion. The
so-called Norwegian ships are In
reality being built for Great Britain
and France.

the Navy Department and the Ship
ping Board has just been evidenced
through the completion for the gov
ernment OF Italy of twenty-five sub
marine chasers by the Elco Company
in the United States. The shipping
Board, in its zeal for additional Amer
scan tonnage, wanted these craft held
up and taken over by the United
States. The Navy Department and the
State Department, however, looked
upon the matter in a different light.
Officials OF these departments real
lied that Italy needs these craft TO
combat German submarines in the
Mediterranean, and that the Italian
government has been eagerly looking
forward to their delivery. The need
of the United States navy, they felt
was not so immediate, and conse:-
quently It was better cooperative
policy to let the twenty-five vessels
go to Italy. This will be done.
