NAME OF WOOD
ABSENT FROM
PERSHING LIST
This General Was Not Call
ed for to Return to
France.

Mai. Gen. Leonard Woods name
was rot on the list of officers Gen.
Pershing asked to have returned for
duty with the American Expedition
ary Forces in France. according to
an authoritative statement obtained
at the way Department yesterday.
He will get an active command, but
not in Europe.
This explanation of the order de-
taching Gen. Wood from the Eighty
ninth Division, which he had train
ed and expected to accompany to
France, has apparently ended the in
cident. The officer, according to his
friends, Is entirely reconciled to the
sudden change of orders as a re-
suit of his interview with President
Wilson Tuesday. and subsequent con-
ferences with Secretary Baker and
Gen. March. Chief of Staff.
Goes to New York.
The order assigning Cen Wood to
duty at San Francisco as comma nder
of the Department of the West was
said to have been only a temporary
measure. Gen. Wood spent the day
visiting among diplomats and officers
of his acquaintance and expected to
leave for New York last night, where
he will remain for several days.
The White House interview at
which the President undertook per-
sonally to explain his wishes to
Gen. Wood is now said to have
been fruitful of a much better state
of feeling than had previosly exist
ed. The President was much i'm
pressed with the frankness and sin
cerity with which the officer plead
ed his cose. The latter has told
friends he was greatly pleased with
the reception accorded him by the
Chief Executive.
There is an element both in Con-
Gress and in army circles disposed
to criticise Gen: Pershing for not
recommending the return of an Off
Ger whose record and abilities are
so well known. 1t is felt that hav-
ing appointed Pershing to full COM
mand President Wilson cannot
wisely do otherwise than accept his
Judgment in matters of this kind.
Various Commands Suggested.
In well informed quarters there
ma cA'
PeTshing's nominations had moth
ing to do with the sudden shift
Gen. Wood has been compelled to
make. 1t was established that he
will not go to Italy at the head of
an expedition. The suggestion of
a detail to Russia met with a SINH
lar fate. &.
1t is not denied, however, that
Wood is the best equipped officer
in the United States, not excepting
Gen. Pershing, to head any force
which might be called to active
military duty on this continent. On
account of the peculiarly delicate
diplomatic situation between McXi-
CO and Cuba officials in authority
will not comment upon the possibi-
ties of the last suggestion.

Paris, May 2o.-Memorial Day
has become more than an Ameri-
can national holiday. This year,
for the first time in history. it is
to be observed by the French
people, in honor of the Americans
who have fallen in battle or died
on French soil.
Preparations for a joint OBJ
servance OF the day have been
made by the French and Amcri-
can military authorities. No clab-
crate ceremonies have been ar
ranged, but the French and
Americans, both in Paris and at
the front, will unite in paying
respect to Americas dead heroes.
First Memorial In Europe.
1t is the first Memorial Day in
American history when American
troops have been under arms in Eu-
rope. and the first time American
sssdiers have been buried on Eu-
ropean soil This will give the day
Increased significance to Americans
abroad as well as at home.
The ceremonies will include dec
ora tion Of the graves of Pershing 5
boys. but they will not differ to any
sreat extent from similar services
which have been performed by the
French ever since the first Yankee
was burid in France.
French Keep Graves Green-
For the French have kept the
graves green in the little cemeteries
back Of the lines. most of them with
in sound of the cannon. They have
shown even more respect for the
American dead than for their own
Their reverence has helpd to strength
en- the bond Of sympathy between
the two nations.
Nor will they be forgetfuI of the
nurses who. bravely as the men,
have given their lives at the front
French officers, bearing emblems
fashioned ef artificial flowers, and
therefore more enduring than the
customary decorations in American
cemeteries. promptly visit the grave
Of every American soldier.
American soldiers, too, have formed
the habit of visiting the resting places
OF their comrades, in their spare time
planting vioIets and forget-me-nots on
the graves
The American cemeteries are To-
Gated in peaceful valleys or on hill
sides overlooking vineyards and
farms.
Rows of Wooden Crosses.
Row upon row of little wooden
crosses. each two feet high, mark the
mounds. A square metal marker in
scribed with the name of the unit and
the date of death of the soldier is on
each cross
Just above is tackled the identii-
cation disc of platinum. the size of a
5n-cent piece. cut from the cord around
the dead soldiers neck. Men from all
over the United States lie here side
by side.
French and American soldiers con-
stantly march past and the airplanes
of the allies soar overhead. After the
war there is no doubt that these
cemeteries will become the mecca for
hundreds Of American tourists.

German Offensive
Now Slowing Up?

Paris, Nav 2.-Latest reports from
the front are that the German often
sive is slowing up. Much artillery
has been saved from falling into the
enemy's hands. The number Of pris-
oners lost is not unduly large. con-
sidering the gigantic efforts Of the
foe.
As the battle stood at last ac-
counts-late this afternoon-Fismes,
on the Paris-R s-Rheims-Verdun railway,
had been lost, retaken and eventually
lost again, and TO the southwest OF
this railroad center the German ad-
vance had reached the towns of
Bruys and Lhuys. Bruys lies fifteen
miles south Of the Chemin des DANES
and a sixty-mile airplane trip from
Paris.
This places the maximum depth Of
the German advance, in the center.
at about seventeen miles since the
offensive began.
Aim at Rail Center.
II is now presumed the immediate
objeCtives Of the crown prince are
Fere-en- -Tardenois and Chateau Thier-
ry. sixteen miles southwest OF Bruys.
This place Is an extremely important
railway center, as is Fere-en-Tarde-
nois.

region of Serches. west of Braisne
This indicates a Withdrawal Of the

Waukesha, Wis, May 29.-Grace
Lusk, 'love-mad" school teacher, on
trial here for the last two weeks for
the murder Of Mrs. Mary Newman
Roberts, wife of a country veterina-
rian, was late tonight convicted Of
second degree murder.
The jury, largely composed of mid
ole aged men, evidently refused to
consider in their deliberations the
claim Of the defense that Miss I,usk
was the victim of hypnotic automa-
tism' and was thus irresponsible for
her actions when she killed Mrs.
Roberts, with whose husband she was
in love.

Ask us to do our share.
We must sweep it clean and tidy
OF all the rot and rusts
That has gathered here fot ages;
They must find no dirt nor dust
We will fumigate the cellar
And scour the mouldy walls.
And scrub with soap and honesty
The chambers and the halls.
Let's chuck the Junk and rubbish,
The old, unwholesome stuff
Race-prejudice, and snobbery.
Aud cant and greet and CUFF.
Away with party jealousy!
Away with boss and cliquel
With selfishness and privilege,
Hypocrisy and cheek.
Let's decorate with industry
And thrift and skill and health;
And burn that tawdry motto
True Happiness is Wealth."

And keep it so with pride;
Ready for heroes marching home,
Worthy Of those who died.
