ent Administration has displayed In
dealing with Hayti and Santo Domingo.
Wood seems to have been peculiarly
fortunate In dealing with the Cuban
railways. In the words Of his biog-
rapher:
"He dealt with tho Cuban railways
IN q basis Of private ownership under
government control, and was tho first
who had ever put such system into
operation. As applied by him it worked
with perfect satisfaction to the rail
way owners, the employees and the
public"
This last sentence sounds almost too
good to be true. If accurate, it should
entitle Wood to consideration for a
job as dictator in the United States.
Leonard Wood was kept unwillingly
in the background during the war.
Notwithstanding persistent Sights
which he received at the hands of the
Administration, his biegrapher Is con-
vinced that the military leaders Of the
Allied countries fully appreciated his
worth and were serioualy embarrassed
by his absence from the Western front
In conclusion, the author declares
that General Wood has been attacked
by critics Of two classes, those who
consider him too military and those
who consider him not military enough.
The former class. in the biographer's
opinion, is made up OF "Bolehevists,
pacifists. pro-GermAns, I. ". WIS and
lawbreakers," whose cnmity is dis
tinct compliment to the man, who in
ours it. The latter class is made up
Of clique Of regular army officers who
