WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-Mator-Gen.
Leonard Wood was injured slightly in
tne arm In an accidental explosion in
france to-day. News Of the accident
was received by cable from Gen. Per-
ehing late this afternoon. Two other
american oficers. Lieut. Col. Charles Z.
kinourne and Major Kenyon A. Joyce,
were Injured. That Gen. Wood and
these omcers narrowly escaped death Is
indicated by the fact that i've French
soldiers were killed in the same ex-
plosion.
The following statement, based on
Gen. Pershing's despatch, was given out
oy Secretary Baker: "A cable despatch
from the headquarters Of Gen. Pershing
just received states that an accidental
explosion occurring to-day killed FIVE
French soldiers and injured Major-Gen.
Leonard Wood slightly In the arm,
Lieut.. Col. Charles E. Kilbourne in the
eye and Major Kenyon A. Joyce in the

Gen. Wood is one Of the senior officers
OF the United States Army. As COM
mander Of the division OF the National
Army at Camp Funston he was ordered
to France for training several months
ago with other division commanders.
Although no details were given by Gen.
pershing 1t Is presumed by officers here
that he was on an inspection trip The
accident may have been due to explosion
OF gun or premature shell explosion.
Gen. Wood was Chief Of STAFF from
1910 to 1914. and subsequently was put
In command of the Department Of the
East At the beginning of the war he
was transferred to Charleston. His
transfer caused a stir in army circles
because 1t was thought by some to mean
! his relegation to a less important post.
Later he was placed in charge Of the
National Army units at Camp Funston.
It has been the plan to send all canton
