meanwhile Senators desiring ratffi-

bring enough Democratic Senators
around to acceptance of the Lodge
reservations to article 10 and the
Monroe doctrine to insure an agree
ment on all fourteen of them.
From flat rejection OF the reserya-
tions the Democrats following Hitch
cocks leadership have swung around
to where they apparently do not re-
gard the reservations as so bad after
all. They have slowly yielded inch
after inch OF ground until now Hitch =
cock himself is authority for the de-

approach acceptance of the reser'a-

Senator Hitchcock said today his
next move must await the result Of
Thursdays session of the bipartisan
conference.
In addition to their original differ
ences over Article X, the two party
groups are now disputing the ques-
tion whether they had virtually
agreed on a compromise on Article X
last week OF not. Hitchcock says they
had. The four Republican conferees
say nobody had agreed to the roserva-

REINDEER INDUSTRY

Vilhialmur Stefansson, the great Arctic
explorer, points out that in 1892 when the
Alaskan Eskimos in the vicinity of Boring
Strait had destroyed all the animals upon
which they had lived, the Bureau of Edu-
cation for the Natives of Alaska, origi-
mated the plan of importing reindeer for
number OF years from Siberia and Lap
land, training the Native Eskimos in the
care of the animals. From the original
l. 28O reindeer imported from Siberia,
there are now 140, 900 in Alaska and 3d.
600 have been killed for meat and their
hides. Inside of ten years Mr. Stefansson
predicts that the number of reindeer in
Alaska will have increased to 5000, 900
and that their propagation will soon be-
come the most lucrative of all the Terri
tory's industries.

WOOD HASVAR|ED
CIVIL EXPERIENCE
ADMINISTRATIVE QUALITIES ARE
TESTED AND PROVED IN HAM
DING GREAT BUSINESS
PROBLEMS.
BY EDWARD B. CLARK.


what has been the administrative
and business experience oe Leonard
Wood? What has been his experience
with men outside Of the army? What
does he know about conditions in the
different parts of the United States
he any thorough knowledge Of foreign
affairs and of our foreign relations?"
The administrative qualities of
Leonard Wood have been tested and
proved. No American living has been
tried more thoroughly than he in COM
pick fields of constructive civil work,
administrative work of the highest
order which carried with it the neces-
sity for the exercise of keen business
acumen.
The republic of Cuba, built upon
firm democratic foundations, is a mon
ument to the administrative ability of
Leonard Wood. In the Philippines is
to be found another monument to his
craftsmanship.
Leonard Wood graduated in medi-
cine from Harvard University in 1884
and served for more than a year in
one of the great hospitals, later to
take charge of the charity depart
ments in a section of the city of Bos-
ton where the poor lived
Not long after the completion of
Woods work in Boston he became an
assistant surgeon in the army, coming
into contact with the western plains
man, the miner, the people generally,
and giving much of his time to the
work of assisting the Indians and to
a study OF the problems of irrigation
and reclamation.
Then for Leonard Wood there came
four years in California. He covered
the state many times in pursuance of
his duties and extended his field as
the Northwest. Then for two years he
was in service in the South, having
headquarters in Georgia.
From the South Leonard Wood went
to the city of Washington, where his
work brought him into daily contact
with Grover Cleveland. Then he had
the same intimate relations with Will
liam Mckinley and the men Of his
time.
Then came the Spanish war and the
active campaign in Cuba as the col
Onel of the regiment Of rough riders
of which Theodore Roosevelt was the
lieutenant colonel.
At the close of the Spanish war
Leonard Woods supreme administra-
tive duties began. He was made the
governor of the city Of Santiago and
a few weeks later of the entire east
ern half of Cuba.
Under Wood profiteering was abol-
ished, industry was built up, agricul-
ture rehabilitated, hospitals organ
lied, equipped and maintained, tens
of thousands of people clothed and
fed-and all this done in a thorough
businesslike manner. 1t was done I'M
der tribulations which arose from
the fact that the people were i'm
poverished to the point Of starva-
ton and had been dying by thousands
for the lack of the things which Wood
quickly provided.
Then there came the rehabilitation
Of the municipalities, the establish
ment of schools, the opening Of roads,
the organizing Of government in the
provinces, the readjustment Of taxa
ton and of the courts, and the work
Of providing for the thousands of chill
dren made orphans by war or famine.
There was more business and more
