Escapes Death
Pursuant to 4 war department or
der, 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, although his division
reached France and participated in
the fighting before the Armistice was
signed. The General himself mar
rowly escaped death while on his
inspection tour through the bursting
of large calibre. gun which dis
charged prematurcly through the
breech and killed several officers
standing near it. General Wood was
slightly injured but carried out his
orders to return home, where he tcs-
titled before q Senate committee as
to the urgent need Of rushing troops
overseas.
While his friends were cxcrting all
the pressure at their command to
have the services of General Wood
utilized in France, he was called up
on to undergo an army medical exam
nation which, despite his SO years,
he passed successfully.
He was then ordered back to Camp
Funston, and when orders arrived
that moved his division to the East
coast for cmbarkation, General Wood
himself was directed by Secretary Of
War Baker to proceed to Washington,
where he was informed that he was
not to command the division when it
went overseas.
While Wood partisans in Congress
and throughout the country were
making the claim that he was being
unfairly treated, the General was
given permission by the war depart
ment to lay his case before President
Wilson. Just what occurred during
this visit to the White House has
] never been disclosed, but it was gen.
, orally understood at the time that the
officer merely made the President a
further pledge Of loyalty in whatever
post he might be called upon to fill.
At his request, however, the orders
were changed to permit his return
to Camp Funston for the purpose OF
organizing new division, and his
application for oversee service was
placed "in the hands of the Chief of
Staff"
Argument Precipitated
While no formal official explana-
ton Of the incident ever had been
issued. the Springfield, Mass. Re-
publican, upon the death Of Wood
row Wilson, published letter writ
ten by the war president to the edi-
tor Of that newspaper June 5, 1913,
which disclosed the reasons for not
sending General Wood overseas.
President Wilson's letter was. re-
joinder to an editorial in the Repub-
lican calling attention to General
Woods abilities and popular fol-
lowing and observing, in substance.
that If it was not the administrators
purpose to- send General Wood to the
battle front, it should make that de-
cision only on adequate grounds.

Pcrshing Didn't Want Him
"In the first place am not sending
him because General Pershing has
said that he does not want him, and
in the second place, General Perish.
ing's disinclination TO have General
Wood sent over is only too well
founded. Wherever General Wood
goes there is controversy and conflict
Of judgment. On this side of the
water we can take care of things Of
that sort, because the. fighting is
not done here, but it would be fatal
to let it go on at or anywhere near
the front.
II have had great deal of exper-
fence with General Wood. He is a
man of unusual ability, but apparent.
ly absolutely unable to submit his
judgment to those who arc superio,
in command. am sorry that his
great ability cannat be made use OF
in France, but at the same time,
am glad to say that it is being made
very much use of in the training OF
soldiers on this side of the water, a
task for which he is eminentiy we'll.
fitted and which he is performing
with diligence and success"
When the Armstice was signed and
the task of demobilizing the huge
army was under way, the country be-
gan turning it's attention to the ma
tion-wide primary campaign that was
to supply presidential candidates 70,
the next general election.
Many political booms were alread,
stirring while General Wood wa.
still active in rehabilitation work
but when he decided to seek the Re
publican nomination he received i'm
mediate permission from Sccrctar!
Baker to lay aside his army duties
and devote all Of his time to the cam
paign.
When the Republican Nationa
Convention assembled at Chicago
and began voting on the long list Of
candidates before it, the trend show
ed that General Wood had a tremend

self again for solution, and it wa.
to General Wood that the President
turned for help. In the meantime
however, the officer had been hon
ored in striking fashion when tn,
trustees of the University of Penn
sylvania offered him the post Of pro
vost Of that institution and he de.
cided to accept. His decision meant
either that he must resign from thu

he was eligible for retirement, and
after much deliberation he dccidet
upon the latter course.

vers as official observer Of the Unit
ed States. From 1908 to 1910 he
commanded the Eastern Department
and in the later year was sent to
Argentina as special envoy Of the

Subsequently, when Elihu Root was
Secretary Of War and undertook the
creation Of an Army General Staff,
he depended largely upon the advice

Wood. When the law was enacted

first Chief, and thus set in motion
the machinery upon which the gov
