The republic of Cuba, built upon
firm demomtle fiunitntlniiii, Is a mA
tinienl to the administrative ability of
Leonard Wood, In the Philippines U
to be found another monument to bis
statesmanship. , ,
Leonard Wood graduated In medl
cine from Harvard, University In
and served for more than a yeur In
one of the grout hospitals, Inter to
tnke charge of the charity depart
ments In a section oMhe city of Ho
ton where the poor lived, '
Not long after the completion of
Wood'a work In Boston he became an
aslMtant surgeon In the army, coming
Into contact with Ihe western plains
man, the miner, the people generally,
and giving much of his time to the
work of assisting the Indians am) to
study of the problems of Irrigation
and reclnmatton, .,'.
Then for Leonard Wood thero came
four years In California, He covered
the suite ninny times In pursuance of
bis 'duties and extended his field as
occasion required Into the states of
the Northwest, Then for two years lie
was In scevlce In the South, having
headquarters In Georgia. ,
From the South Leonard Wood went
to the city of Washington, where hla
work brought him Into '-dally contact
with Gfover Clevelund. Then ho had
the same Intimate relations with Wll
.flam McKtnley and the men of b!s
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 wns the
lieutenant colonel. .',,-...
At the close of the Spanish war
Leonnrd Wood's supreme administra
tive duties began. He was mado the
governor of the city of Santiago and
a few weeks Inter of the entire east
ern half of Cuba, '
Under Wood profiteering was abol
i lshod, Industry was built up, agricul
ture rehabilitated, hospitals organ
ised, equipped and maintained, tens
of thousands of people clothed and
fed and all this done In a thorough
businesslike manner, It was done un
der tribulations which arose from
the fact that the people were Im
poverished to the point -of starva
tion 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
tion and of the courts, and the work
of providing for the thousands of chil
dren made orphans by war or famine.
There was more business and more
j i
varieties uf It than It has been th
of many men ever to have placed (
on their shoulder.
Not long after this there came th
greater opportunities In Havana. It
was necessary to re-wrlte the election
laws to iiinke them fit the huklts of the
people. I'rodnrtlon bad to he stimu
lated, for agriculture win the main
source of Ihe Island's wealth. Here
a fn In the smue measure were follow,
ed nml as a remit there Mere estab
lished Inw and order, protection of
llfo and property, and liberty with
in the law,
These were the foundation stones.
Wood knew that the government must
be run by the Cubans, and so 00 per
cent of the olllclnls engaged In the
grent work of reconstruction were
selected from the people of the Wand.
The Cubans were taught government
while the government was being built
and thus they were able to run It when
the rule of the Island was turned over
to Its Inhabitants.
When It became necessary to reor
ganlie the Cuban railroads Wood se
cured the services of Sir William Van
Home, president of the Canadian Pa
cific, and of Grnnvlllo M. Dodge, build
er of the L'ulon PaelfleT
The same general policy wn fol
lowed In dealing with the problem of
caring for the tens of thousands of
orphans that had been left by the war,
Homer Folks, commissioner of chari
ties of the state of New York, was
called to Culm by Wood to aid In tbV
establishment of a system for placing
and permanently caring for these lit
tle desolates, Chief Justice White
of the Supreme count of the United
Slates, at that time an associate jus
tice, was consulted as to the method to
be pursued In reorganising the courts.
Leonard Wood was In Cuba about
four years, Ho left there a reorgan
ized and sound banking system, a
good railroad system, no debts, nearly
$.1,000,000 unincumbered money In the
treasury, a sugar crop of nearly 1,000,.
000 tons, sound municipal lnws, fine
public works, n firm agricultural
foundation and an absolute respect
among the people for life and prop
erty. The school system which Wood
established wns founded on the lows
of Massachusetts and Ohio. Roads
were built which made communication
speedy. The hospitals erected under his
supervision were of the highest type.
Lord Cromer sulci he wished this
American officer wns available to fol
low him In bis reconstruction work
In Egypt. Ellhn Root said this work
never was paralleled In colonial pos
sessions anywhere. Theodore Roose
velt said Hint Leonard Wood "has
rendered services to Cuba of a kind
which, If performed three thousand
years ago, would have made him a
hero mixed up with the sun god In va
rious ways."
Afler the Cuban experience Wood
was for five years In the Philippines
confronted, with the difficult labor of
establishing a civil government, this
time among a Mohammedan people.
There he did the snme successful
work he did In Cuba.
This period' of residence In the Phil
ippines gave Wood an opportunity to
study conditions In the British colo
nies, Romeo, Slngnporo, and to keep
In close touph with conditions In
.Inimn and along the China coast.
Wood traveled through India, spent
some time with the Dutch In Java, and
with Lord' Cromer In 'Egypt, He
stained ami retained knowledge of all
which nt that time came under his stu
dious observation, t
Then Leonard Wood became chief
of, the general stnff of the United
States army, In whose hands rests
very -largely the direction and admin
filtration of the military establishment,
which after all Is 00 per cent g busi
ness matter, . ,
The administrative career of Leon
ard Wood Is spread upon the records
of his country., The work which he
tins done Is lasting. It It a states
man's work. .-' .

THE lake district of England,
one of the most beautiful of
regions, always has been l
favorite resort of American
tourists, not only because of Its nat
ural attractions, but also on account
of Its literary asioclatlons.
First among recorded tourists to
Lakeland was Gray, the poet, author
of the "Elegy In a Country Church
yard," -says Country Life. He visited
the Westmoreland and Cumberland
lakes In 1709, the year before Words
worth, the most outstanding amoog
the lake school of poets, was born.
He discovered the lakes, alike In a
touring and literary sense, and being
essentially of the eighteenth century,
he fled from them and the grandeur
of their scenery In dismay. For not
then had the picturesque been In
vented. The beauties of wild nature
were not appreciated, and had they
been the roads of that age and the
lark of proper accommodation were
powerful deterrents.
Cut for close upon century Lake
land has been a greatly appreciated
touring ground. Scenery and the lit
erary associations with Wordsworth,
Houtbey, Coleridge, De Qolncey and
their circle, have attracted every type
of holiday maker. First came the
vacation reading parties of university
students, then the honeymoon couples,
to whom the Low Wood hotel, Amble
side, wns once, In a sense, sacred;
and then the railways brought tour
ists from far and near. But not until
the automobile came upon the roads
was Lakeland comfortably or thor
oughly to be explored. i "
The tourist by motor car here has
choice of every kind of road, or no
road, and may, If he will, take bis
sport In pass-storming with the most
adventurous, or tuke his sight-seeing
along roads as good as any In this
country. It Is all a matter of taste
and Inclination. The Ideal way of
seeing Lakeland Is undoubtedly that
of selecting some central spot at which
to stay and taking from It dully, out
and home, excursions. This Is so for
several reasons; chief among them
that of the somewhat limited arva'of
the lake district, which may be stated
at about thirty miles square. Th.'
lakes figure so largely In popular im
agination that this will seem scarcely
credible; yet any reference to mnp
will prove the truth of It, But It does
not follow from this sheer muttcr-of-fiict
measurement that this region Is
easily seen or soon exhausted.
Qrasmere In the Center.
Exactly In the center of the lake
district la Gnismere, central geographi
cally, and In Its Interest, for It was
Wordsworth's home, and In Its church
yard he lies.
There are Ave recognized centers for
tourists in these regions: Windermere,
Ambleside and Grasmere, about equi
distant, some four miles from one an
other ; Keswick, thirteen miles further
north, und Conlston, somewhat Iso
lated, seven miles southwest of Am
bleside. It would be a thankless task
to declare any preference among
these, but we will take Grasmere as
the very focus of the lnkes.
Grasmere village Is n sweet and gra
cious place. Here Wordsworth resided
for more than fifty years. Ills mter
homes here are not accessible, but
Dove Cottnge, where he wrote his
earliest and best, has been preserved
as It was In his day, and is the resort
of literary pilgrims, while the unpre
tending church beside the River
Rotha is much the same as he knew It.
That is an Interesting day trip, along
excellent roads, which takes us north
to Cockermouth, the old market town
at the extreme northerly edge of Lake
land, where: his birthplace, In Main
street, Is still shown. ' -
The way runs by Dunmnll Raise to
Wythburn, whose little church, one of
the smallest In England, Is neighbored
by the Nng's Head Inn, where the old
dalesmen and their wives put up their
horses while attending. service In olden
times, The road then runs alongside
Thlrlmere, with the Imposing moun
tain, Helvellyn, 8,118 feet, on right.
Keswick town comes next; a consid
erable place for this part of the coun
try, and with an oddly foreign appear
ance, cnused fhiefly by the church
like building" (really the town hall) In
the middle of the street. The chief
Industry Is the making of lead pen
cils. ' ;
Derwentwater Loveliest Lake.'
But Derwentwater Itself Is the real
reward of the journey. It Is generally
considered the loveliest of all the
lakes, and It Is also the most accessi
ble, a good road encircling It. Beyond
Keswick we pass Greta Hall, once the
home of 'Sonthey, 'and come to Bas
eenthwalte Water. Preferably taking
the left-hand road, Sklddnw, 8,064 feet,
Is seen across the water. Cocker
mouth Isjsonie six miles further, i
Returning from that town, the other
side of Rassenthwulte Water may he
taken, and Ihe rest of the way back
to Grusmere Is hlentlcal with the out
ward run. The distance, including
the circuit of Derwentwater, Is about
seventy-six miles. 4
But Derwentwater Is worth a more
leisured trip, for Its own sake. The
trip from Grasmere to Keswick and
the circuit of Derwentwater and back
Is thirty-five miles. The advantages
are with the tourist proceeding to
Keswick and there turning left and
past the church, following the eastern
side of the lake to Lodore, where the
"Falls of Lodure," sung by Southey,
will be found. Beyond we come to
Shepherd's Crag, overhanging the road,
and past the Borrowdale hotel and the
narrow pass railed the "Juws of Bor
rowdale," whose rocks so greatly
olarnied Gray 150 years ago. At Grange
where the River Derwent Bows out of
Derwentwater, the road abruptly turns,
to follow the western lakeside. In
the pleasant vale at Grange Is that
giant rock, the "Bowder Stone."
The peculiar advantages of staying
at Grasmere are many. Not least
among them Is that within five miles
you have not only Grasmere Itself,
rivaling Derwentwutcr for loveliness,
but Itydal Water, and the town of Am
bleside, with Windermere, the largest
and most popular of the lakes beyond.
All ore within an easy walk for the
tourist staying at Grasmere, who wlll
scarce take out his car when he can
Indulge In pleasant footpath rambled
for a change.
The car Is for farther afield. For'
example, the run to Penrith, along
Ullswater. The out and home run Is
fifty-six miles. The best way from
Grasmere Is to take the Windermere
road, as far as Waterheud; thence
turning to the left and up to Trout
beck. ' The nearer route, up from Am
bleside to Ktrkstone Pass, Is an ex
ceedingly steep climb, but It can be
tuken on the return.
On the way to Ullswater the gloomy
little mountain town of Brothers Wa
ter Is passed, ami then comes the de
scent to pleasant, sunny Patterdale.
Here the seven miles long lake- of
L'llswnter, the second longest of the
hikes, begins, skirted all the way by
a delightful road, with the wateffulil of
Alra Force midway, spouting from Its
woody glen. Ullswater ends at Pauley
Bridge, whence It Is seven and a half
miles Into the quaint old ninrket (Sown
of Penrith, passing Inuwath Hall, now
a farm house, but a good surr'tvlng
specimen of the fifteenth century tor
tilled border residence; and thienci?
over the ancient Eamont Bridge, built
In 1425. ,
