 OF GOV. GENERAL WOOD

Continued from yesterdays Bal
 letin.)
 Previous to and also in the early
 days of the European war. General
 Wood repeatedly risked censure
 from the War Department because
 of his untiring efforts to promote
 national defense and preparedness
 measures in the Eastern Depart ment. which he then commanded. It was his personal influence alone
 that resulted in the establishment
 of civilian training camps at Get tysburg and the Presidio in 1913.
 and again due to his effort that both camps blossomed out in the
 "Plattsburg Idea" of civilian mil
 itary training in 1917 General
 Wood had the satisfaction of sec
 ing more than 100000 men
 trained under the theories first ap- piled at his civilian camps. and he also accepted the responsibility of esta blishing some 30 divisional camp sites throughout the country.
 By his own selection Gen. Wood was assigned to train and com mand the S9th Division. then sta tioned at Camp Funston. whereup- on he threw himself into the task with all the energy and enthusiasm that had marked his well-rounded army career. While he might readily expected. as senior officer of the Army. to be given command of the forces sent to France. if he felt any chagrin at the selection of an officer so much his junior i'll the service as General Pershing. it was not reflected in his work at Camp Funston.
 Pursuant to a War Department order, General Wood. along with other Division Commanders, was sent to France on an inspection tour of the battlefront. and as it later happened, this was his only direct view of the World War. al though his Division reached France and participated in the fighting be- lore the Armistice was signed The General himself narrowly escaped ieath while on this inspection tour the bursting of large ,alibre gun which discharged pre- naturely through the breech and killed several officers and men who were standing near it. General Wood was slightly injured but car jed out his orders to return home where he testified before a Senate committee as to the urgent need of .ushing troops overseas.

DEMOCRATS To

A Democratic fight to prevent
reelection Of David s. Barry, OF

was expected today to feature the
final act Of the Republican or
ganization OF the Senate.

which Senator Reed CD Of Mis-
souri,, il chairman, became 30 ex-
