major generals agreeable to Pershing
from which the names of Wood, Bell
Barry. Scott and Morrison are said to
have been omitted; but every one who
had anything to do with informing the
public had its existence explained TO
him "authoritatively." The country
was not to be left in doubt that Per.
shing did not want Wood for the same
reason that the Administration did
not want Wood at the beginning of
the war-to wit, because he was a
hard man to handle Evidently
the feeling of those responsible
for our military rolict is that the
country in its loyalty will be so unwill-
ing to question any act Of Pershing
that it will accept the rejection Of
Wood without protest, and that from
now on the Wood issue is dead.
Any assignment of importance
which Wood may get in the future
will be an act of generosity. whose
purpose will be to prove that it was
not the Administration but the Ameri-
can commander at the front who balk-
ed the nations desire to have the serv-
ices Of the man who is, perhaps. its
greatest soldier. Some such evidence
of good faith may be Forthcoming.

and his motives. as they are likely to
do now that he has rejected Wood
They think that the commander at

And it is clear that in putting the
responsibility for rejecting Wood upon
Pershing the authorities have violated

disapproves the facts of subordinates
or makes them his own. Mr.. Baker,
General PerShing'S friends say, if he
were a bigger and more coura geous
man. would have assumed full respon.

never have disclosed Pershing's part
in it. As 1t is. he has shifted criti.
