There is so much in training however, that many who

GENERAL WOOD SIDETRACKED.

MO EXPLANATION is likely to change the public be
~ lief that Maj Gen. Leonard Wood is assigned to
further duty America instead Of going with the
division he lately commanded because he is in dsfavor
with the administration No explanation has been offered
the department stating briefly that it isn't customary
make explanation of orders but there is to be
camor which may bring response from those who turned
the general aside from the dearest wish Of all army off
GERS But those who have watched the generals career
have already made up their minds what caused the shift
and nothing be said later is likely alter that opinion
General Wood however, has himself to blame for what
has happened although his ardent champions cannot be
expected to admit it, General Wood had two handicaps
successful military in this war He is close
Colonel Roosevelt and he is disposed to talk much
The loose tongue and leaning to politics has spoiled the
of others of high rank The military should
eschew politics much possible and most of them do
Probably nine men of ten don't know to what party
General Pershing belongs General Marsh General
Bliss General Seibert any OF the other officers OF
high rank But there any doubt about General
Wood who has been rated presidential possibility and
who has echoed many OF the things Colonel Roosevelt has
said.
Nor is there any feel down hearted because
General Wood has been sheved in a peaceful post I'm
doubedly he was and is an able commander but he had
never proved his military genius in a big war. Possibly
because he talked than the other generals many
him one OF greater ability. But the truth is that Our
high officers degree unproycn vet Some major
generals will be needed home and the department is
within its rights in choosing the 60 abroad Per
haps the administration is playing politics but to do that it
is not necessary sacrifice military efficiency and there
may be military wisdom in keeping home officer
so inclined to oratory and politics General Wood And
this is long in which General Wood may still have his
fighting chance. Those who go make good
be relieved and it is the history Of all that all
high commanders qualify Saying nothing and saving
wood should be the future policy of the general

WAR TO VICTORY.

rERMANY has gained some terrain at tho start o the
~ third stage of their spring offensive That was to be
expeced and causes less alarm now than did the first
&mash in Picardv or the later drive in Flanders All re-
ports indicate that the British and French troops fought
brilliantly in their retirement the Piuon Rheims sector
and that means the Huns paid the usual high price for
their latest gains In due time this smash will spend us
force and Hndenburg will have further heavy casualty
lists to explain and the chances of attaining an important
objective in this sector slight.
But even should the tide of battle flow stronger against
The allied armies than probable when this is written
there is only one point of view only main idea tor
Americans and that is war victory Given the will to
win the spirit to carry in the face Of all onslaughts
and ultimate victory is assured America still far from
rs top stride but America is moving and with increasing
momentum Our potential strength greater than Ger
many's and our allies not weakening. Ours IS
righteous cause and it must win There must be weak
ening no matter what may happen in France this week
peXt
America now has great purpose which overshadow'
Nil others and that purpose is victory 1t should be
strengthened by the sacrifices allies and our own
troops are making there and it should not weaken
under German peace barrage which is likely to follow
the present drive There be no lasting and honorable
peace but the peace Of victory and that cannot until
Germany dccsivey beaten For that reason let one
tell YOU Germany is nvncibe that negotiated peace
nov or soon is the safest way How safe such ar
rangemens are has been shown by Russia nation en-
shaved by the treason or folly of its leaders But
Americans are neither blind ignorant they must and
will see the dire necessity OF success and pay the price
necessary to attain IT.
