 Promotion Not RooseveIts Act.
 General Woods career is well known to the American people. He was sur gcon in the army and when he became colonel of volunteers In the Spanish war Prcsidens Mckinley made him Brigadler General. Curiously enough. seemingly 99 out of every l0N Ameri- can citizens think that Theodore Roosevelt gave Wood his then almost unparalleled promotion from n colonel of volunteers and q captain of reGu- hrs to the rank of brigadier general of the United States army. General Wood has medal of honor for con spicuouS personal gallantry in the face of the enemy.
 Gen. Clarence k. Edwards, who takes the high command in the New England states. is less known to the American people than General Wood. General Edwards for years was Il bureau chief, and while his field was q large one, lt was removed in a general sense from the area of military supervision, al though 1t was directly under the war department.
 This soldier who has suddenly come into the limelSht of military opera tlous was born in Cleveland, O., g yearS ago. Ic graduated from the United States Military academy in the class of 1SS3 Instead of en- tcrnc the academy in Juno, ns most of his class did. he took advan- tage of provision of the law which enabled him to enter in September, Therefore he had something more than two months less military training nj the academy than did his classmates. The nickname sep" short for Sep tcm5cr, has stuck to him through the years of his army life He Is popular personally. and tall handsome man.
