Cry of Politics i'm
Army Stirred by
Ohio Appointment
B a k err Elevation OF
Guardsman to Colonelcy
Causes Resentment
,.specio, Dispatch to The Tribune,


WASHINGTON. June 20.-Over the
protest of the Chief of Staff and other
NIGH officers OF the army, Secretary of
War Baker has commissioned Adjutant
General Robert II. Wood, of the Ma
tional Guard, Ohio, colonel and as
signed him to command a regiment of
the Ohio National Guard in the 37th
Division. soon to see service in France.
Woods appointment, which is attrib-
uted In some quarters to pressure eX-
erted by Governor Cox, OF Ohio, is said
in army circles 20 lay the War Secre-
tary open to the charge of permitting
politics to be injected into the army.
The appointment of Wood to a
colonelcy recalled the unsuccessful eff
forts of Governor Cox to have him ap-
pointed major general to command
the Ohio troops at the time they were
called into the Federal service. Owing
TO Woods lack of military training and
experience, the War Department at
that time dismissed MIN from consid-
Grafton as division commander.
Woods friends, headed by Governor
Cox, persisted in their advocacy, how
ever, and Secretary Baker finally re-
ferred Woods application tp the Gen
eral StaE.
General Staff officers reported to the
Chief OF Staff, General March, that
Wood was clearly unqualified for such
a command. They pointed out that he
had not served in higher rank than
captain in active service during the
Spanish war and then never actually
commanded troops in the field.
it was likewise reported that Wood
had no knowledge of present-dAy war
fare and that he lacked essentials for
commanding a regiment of 5000 men.
General March reported accordingly to
Secretary Baker and recommended that
1t it seemed necessary to commission
him that he be given the rank Of cap
tain and assigned to a replacement or
ganization for service in the United
States.
The commissioning of Wood as
colonel and his assignment to regi-
ment in the 37th Division, by direct
orders OF the Secretary of War, when
announced to-day, caused general re-
sentiment in army circles. This feeling
is all the more apparent because Wood
is to displace Colonel E. f. Gibson, q
regular army officer Of long experience
in handling troops.
Although practically every adjutant
general of the National Guard has re-
quested active service, the elevation Of
Wood to q colonelcy is the first time
6 commission above the rank of major
has been authorized. Care also has
been taken by the department to avoid
placing the former adjutant generals
in command of troops, all being as
signed to the staff corps.
More than 100 colonels of the Ma
tional Guard have been separated
from the service for lack Of military
knowledge or for physical disqualified
tions.

Manufacturers Paid for
Imaginary Services
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune,

WASHINGTON. June 2O.-That COM
mission agents dealing in government
contracts on the contingent fee COM
mission basis used many Ingenious
schemes to dcfraud their own clients,
as we'll as to mulct the government,
was revealed in the mass Of CORE
spondence obtained in the recent ma
ion-.wide raids by the Department Of
Justice.
Manufacturers who supposed the
lees going to commission men were ef-
tectlveiy applied to the obtaining of
contracts have paid thousands of dol
lars for purely imaginary services, and
III many instances their commission
agents have been an actual dctrment
to them. the papers are alleged to re-
veal. One brokerage firm is known to
have represented several competitive
nlddcrs at the same time, and in some
instances to have had in this way prac-
tically entire control Of the bidding.
~ IS believed many manufacturers
knew the agents were representing COM
petltors as we'll as themselves, although
the arrangement had the same effect in
boosting prices that conspiracy would
have had. Some letters to favored
clients contained promises to withhold
olos or certain other concerns repre-
sented by the agent, and promises were
held out that efforts would be made to
prevent the opposing firms from getting
in touch with the government if the
favored client desired to bid
Schemes of the Broker
Another scheme Of the agents was to
get quotations or options from several
manufacturers, who were thus eimi-
mated from direct government bidding.
The agent, with the advantage Of this
price knowledge, would then bid in his
own name, and If awarded the contract
he would proceed to fill it by exercising
the option given by the manufacturer
who quoted the lowest price to him.
