In such a serious hour as the pres
ent, when the United States is passing
through the greatest crisis in its his
tory, Il would III become the Scientific
American to indulge in captious criti-
cism Of the War Department, or call in
question, for one moment, the purity
and disinterestedness Of its motives.
At the same time it is our bounden
duty, as one OF the soldest and most
conservative organs OF American opin-
ion, TO draw the attention Of the War
Department to the fact that its treat
ment OF General Wood carries on the
face Of II a suggestion OF dlscrimina-
tion and discourtesy, so palpable and
disconcerting. that 1t may well disturb
the confidence Of the country at the
very time when public confidence and
public morale are OF supreme import
ance.
For General Leonard Wood is not
merely an American and a soldier; he
is an American Of the Americans, and
a soldier whose professional career
has been an unbroken series Of sue
administrative, diplomatic, and
military. Not only is he the ranking
general OF the American Army, an Off
Ger Of proved and universally admitted
ability, but by the sheer force Of his
character and the fine quality OF his
patriotism, he has become one Of those
really representative Americans who
are as greatly honorsd in the Old World
as in the New
General Wood has ever been the great
prOtagonlst Of military preparedness.
Long before the European war, as
chief-of-staff, he drew attention to the
weakness Of our military system; and
when the great catastrophe burst upon
the world, he sounded the alarm with
a trumpet voice It took no little cour-
age to do this at a time when the ad-
regarded eevn the men
tion Of military preparation as breach
OF that neutrality even in thought"

which It was enjolning upon the Ansh
ican people.
The event has proved that Wood wa
right.
1t was the confident expectation tina
the soldier who had so nobly Jeop
ardized his future career for the sax
of his country, would be called at ohe'
into the intimate councils or the al
minstration, now that the crisis Willci
he foretold had actually come upon us
An able, far-slghted and highly exper
fenced general such as he, who holds
also, the effection and unb0unded con
fldence Of his fellow citizens, is surely
at such an hour as this, a most val
liable asset to his country; and WI
take it that no other questions thai
those Of his record and his PROVED
ability should determine the degree O
his employment.
Hence it came about that, when
the same breath In which It was an'
nOunced that we were at war, we wer'
told that our highest ranking officer
the very soldier who had labored u
awaken the country to the imminenct
OF that war, had been removed to .
minor cOmmand-the country simply
stood aghast.
There is a widespread feeling that
in separating him from his commane
and in shutting him out from any ac-
tive service in Europe, not only has az
injustice been done to Gem
eral Wood, but land this is even more
serious) the country has been deprived
during this great military crisis, OF
the services Of one Of its ablest gem
erals
President Wilson has uttered manJ
inspiring and noble thoughts during
the past few weeks, and none Of thes'
has struck a more responsive chord ID
the hearts of the American people,
than when he reminded them that
there was no place in this war for
politics or personal feeling.

vologda, Russia, June 2s.-(Cor-
respondence Of The Associated

STA and the peace treaty signed by
the BolshevilI have brought back
to Vologda some Of the Importance
which it had in the days Of Peter
the Great.
When the American ambassador,
David 70. Francis, selected Vologda
for the site Of his embassy to Rus
STA during the period when Petro-
grad was threatened by German oc-
cupation, the little city took on new
life.
Prices of foodstuffs SCARED and, as
more and more Americans came to
the city, rooms were at such a pre-
MUM that some members Of the en-
bassy staff were forced to use for
several weeks their train berths as
sleeping quarters.
The only quarters which could be
found by Consul Treadwell for the
American consulate were rooms in a
huge barn like hotel known as the
Hermitage, which was full Of Ger
man prisoners and Russian soldiers.
The consulate's room was Just
across the hall from the German
prisoners headquarters, but some
of these prisoners apparently did not
know America was in the war. Some
of them came into the consulate the
first day it opened and asked If
the Americans were still handling
the, matter, of prisoners relief.

Sub Wrecked
By Explosion

London, June 29-How a submar-
inc which destroyed a munition ship
was itself wrecked by the explosion
is related in a British admiralty
statement
The ship was torpedoed without
warning by the U-boat, which then
rose to the surface and opened fire
with her guns. The Germans second
round exploded in the ammunition hold.
So terrific was the explosion that
followed that the submarine was
almost demolished by the conclusion.
Her gun was lifted and flung side
ways her side was torn out and she
foundered almost as quickly as the
steamer.
A rescued member Of the munition
ships crew thus described his exper-
fence:
almost Immediately after the sub
marines second round we were all
enveloped in black clouds. We heard
rushing. roaring, gurgling noises.
Something gave our boat an ugly
twist and threw me overheard. When
came up l fouled blanket or tarp-
aulin with my head and right hand,
and it seemed a long time before

was still in darkness. Then the air

Washington. rests with America
to swing a victory for the allies in
the air in the world war, Mai Gen.
William Brancker has told United
States officials at Washington.
BranckeT is controller general of
equipment Of the British air council.
He is representing the council in this
country.
The solution OF getting airp1anes in
large numbers to the battlefront lies
in fying the planes across the Allan
tic, he says.
The British air mead is positive that
with a new motor now developed in
England, with frame built in the
United States, and with American and
British ayiators and pilots to handle
them, planes can be sent across the
ocean by next fall.
Brancker would have them start
from Newfoundland and make their
first stop at the Azores, From there
they would fly to Portugal The en-
tire trip, Brancser estimates. would
take 10 hours 90 hours for each leg
of the journey.
Once the practicability of trans
Atlantic flight has been established,
he says the United States can start
sending planes abroad in large num-
bers enough to bomb the Germans
out OF France and onto their knees in
Berlin.

British SdUe
Despite H.C.L.

London, June 29.-The British are
saving money as they never have
notwithstanding the increased cost
OF everything.
\ Sir Robert Kindersley, chairman
Of the National War Savings assoc
citation, states that it is remark
able" that there are 16,750,000 hold
ers Of British war securities and
more than 100000 accounts in saw
ings banks.
1T may be safely alleged, not only
that saving has been commenced by
many millions who before the war
never saved, but that there is every
evidence that the effort Of these
savers increases in intensity as the
war proceeds"
This situation is ascribed to the
fact that thousands are receiving
more pay than ever and thousands
Of women who prior to the war,
earned nothing are now engaged in
remunerative war work. Also the
incentive to spend money has been
removed to a certain extent by the
regulation Of food and drinking pur-
chases and curtailment of amuse-
ment.
