To the reasons advanced in 1916 is
now added the alleged grievance that
the Wilson administration deliberately
passed over Wood and refused to per-
mt him to hold high military command
in the world war, to which he was en-
titled on his military record.
What is Woods real military record?
Gen. Woods first experience as a line
officer came when Secretary Of War
Alger, whose personal physician Wood
then was, appointed him to the command
of a volunteer regiment in the Spanish
American war. Up to that time Wood
had been an army doctor. He WAS
good doctor-probably better than the
average. but he never attended a ulili-
tary school, never had any military train
ing and never exercised command he
fore he was boosted into the colOnelcy
of volunteers by Alger.
This was before Alger was forced out
of the war department as result Of
the "embalmed beef scandal.
RISES RAPIDLY
IN RANK.
Wood did not become an officer m the
army until Aug. II, 1886, when he ac
cepted appointment as an assistant
surgeon. Before that he was contract
surgeon'-that is. a civilian doctor EN-
ployed under contract to render a physi-
clans services to the army. He was not
an officer. nor member Of the army,
while a contract surgeon"
Wood held his cOloneIcy for two
Dionths-from May to July II. 1895
when he was advanced TO brigadler gen
eral Of volunteers. He held this office
for FIVE months, when. on Dec. II, 1898
when he was made major general Of vol
unteers. He thus advanced from assist
ant surgeon, with the rank of captain.
to major generally in seven months.
He was later transferred from the
volunteers to 4 brigadier generally in the
regular army IN Feb. 8, 1901 and be
came major general IN the regulars on
Aug. s. 1908.
Gen. Wood was never under FIRE more
than twice in his army career. and one
of these is doubtful His whole expe-
rience, practically, has been that Of an
army doctor and an administrative Of
fcer.
Much has been, said about the award
made to Wood by Secretary Of War Al

Il can't say whether it's leap
year or not-but something is wrong
with the wedding ring question:"

''The recent decrease in demand

TO the fact that leap year offers to

the lack of desire on the part of
