LONG MILITARY RECORD.
Gen. Woods Retirement Marks End
of 35 Years of Service.

Acceptance by Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood of the post Of governor-general
OF the Philippines will necessitate his
retirement from active service in the
Army after unirty-rlve years spent
with the military establishment.
Legislation proposed by the admin
lstration which would have enabled
Gen. Wood to accept the Philippine
sovernorship and yet remain on the
active list was killed last month in
the House. the military committee
OF which by an almost unanimous
vote agreeing to table the bill. The
committee was understood to have
feit that it would be unwise to per-
init Army officers to accept civilian
posts without resigning their COM
missions. and that such permission
in the case of Gen. Wood would estab-
l!sh precedent.
Secretary Weeks. on learning of
Gen. Woods decision, expressed him
self as highly gratified" He added
that had the general assumed the Of
fce of provost of the University of
Pennsylvania. as was expected, it also
would have necessitated his retire.
ment from the active list, and that the
acceptance of the Philippine post only
advances by few months a certain
eventuality. The Secretary said he
had not been advised officially of Gen.
Woods acceptance.

CAR-STOP CHANGE
ruling SUSTAINED
Non-pubIication of ReIoca.
ton Upheld as Benefit
to Service.

Col. Charles w. Kutz, chairman of
the Public Utilities Commission, to-
day sustained Walter C. Allen, execu-
tive secretary, in the ruling that
changes in location of car stops
should not be made public by the
commission.
Asked If he did not think the public
would be inconvenienced by not re-
celvlng notice of proposed changes in
stopping points, the chairman said
the car riders affected by the changes
would see that the signs had been
moved.
1t Is understood that one reason for
not revealing action taken regarding
the location of stop signs is belief
on the part of the commission that
to call attention to any changes that
are made would induce others to ask
for changes.
Would Better Service.
Col. Kutz explained that the COM
mission in relocating stop signs con-
slders the betterment of the service
as whole and that the wishes of all
riders cannot be met if the city is
to have skip stops.
But the chairman of the commission
was firm in the decision that those
changes which are made from time
to time should not be disclosed. The
colonel said the rule against giving
notice of changes in stops was
adopted about two years ago and has
never been dropped.
Announcements of proposed changes
in car stops have been published in
the past, one case occurring in Oc-
tober of last year, when the stop
signs on H street northwest between
18th and 18th streets were relocated.
Received No Complaints.
Col. Kutz stated today that to his
knowledge no complaint has been re-
ceived by the commission of cars run
ming by the stop signs before being
brought to a standstill.
Commissioner Oyster said he has
heard personal complaints of this
practice occurring in the suburban
sections. He said that not only pas
sengers standing at the signs are in
convenienced when they are required
to run some distance ahead to board the
car, but that motorists are also con-
fused in bringing their machines to a
stop fifteen feet behind the car.
Commissioner Oyster expressed the
belief that the companies would be
willing to instruct their motormen to
observe the stop points more closely
if the matter was brought to their
attention.

we confronted and overcame in Eu-

"On the other hand, at that time the

resources with which to meet the
greatest famine of history. In our
present economic situation and in the
face of great unemployment we can
not summon the volume of sacrifices
