CRITICIZE SHELVING
MAJ. CEN. WOOD
George Wharton Pepper Says
American People Must De-
mand His Services

HARTFORD, Conn, June 2O.-The
administration was criticised for
shelving Major General Leonard
Wood, in an address by Geo. Whar-
ton Pepper OF Philadelphia, at the
Trinity college commencement eXer-
Cises today. The assembly arose and
chcercd when he said that the Ameri-
can people must demand General
Woods services.
IF, when democratic state is at
war said Mr.. Pepper, there is a
man possessing in a marked degree
the qualities that make the soldier
and the experience and training that
make for command; If the people
trust him and he has justified their
trust; II the congress has honorcd
him and the allies are calling for him
then he must be given responsible
command or Washington ceases to be
distinguishable from Berlin.
Will Insist on Wood
IF II were TO turn out that the
command of his division had been de.
MED to such man because another
general does not want him around or
because a cabinet officer is unable TO
estimate him at his true worth then
one Of the two things will be true
either that the bottom Is dropping out
or American democracy. or else that
sooner or later the American people
will insist upon having the services of
Leonard Wood"

AMERICAN BOYS
WORLDS BEST ATHLETES

FORT BLISS, Texas, June 20
American soldiers in the training
camps of the United States are the
finest body of young athletes the
world has ever seen, Major Z. II. Bal
ley, British athletic instructor, who
IS training the troops here in bayOnct
practice, declared recently.
"In England many of our boys work.
ed In factOrieos, shops and mines and
were not well developed physically"
he said. Here everyone seems to
live, play and work out doors. The
result has been the development of
wonderful bodies, carrying about with
them minds trained to take the initia-
tive. That is what makes good sol
diers and / hope to finish my career
Of 20 years in the army by going to
the trenches with the boys who are
training here at the post. Nothing
can stop them once they are properly
schooled in the art of modern war

MOUNTAIN WELLS ROUTE
ON HIGHWAY A MENACE

+. 4. Sweet, "A prominent coal
dealer OF Salt Lake, had a rather
uncomfortable experience last week,
while coming over the Lincoln high
way, bound west. Mislcd by the
large sign at Chalk Mountain, some
eight miles east OF the Frcnchman's
Station, he took the Mountain Wells
route, which has been mistakenly
signed as the highway.
He was driving big Stcarns car
and was accompanied by his wife
and little children. On leaving Aus
tin they had confidently expected to
reach the Frcnchman's about noon,
but taking the wrong road resulted
IN their being compelled to travel
until eleven o'clock at night with.
out refreshments. To make mat
ters worse. they had no adequate
supply OF drinking water and upon
arriving at Mountain Wells found
th" supply there polluted with dead
snakes and gOphcrs. The children
suffered from their long fast and
from thirst and were about Collaps.
