GENERAL WOOD'S CASE.
Ml'Cir ado is bciiig inailo over tlio fact thai (Jcnoral
J.conai d Wood lias not Ihtu sent to b'rame to com
niaiul on tlie western front and it is said that tin; only
e.vjilaiialioii that can he aiiilied is politics.
The explanation is probably correct but not in tho
sense meant. It is (iencral Wood who hps jtlnyed poli
tics and still is playing it. His whole army career is a
case of politics and lmll promoted from an olwurc armv
physician to chief of staff by
thousands of officers, he finds himself now under com
inand of those same officers
to command.
Wood played politics at the I'lattsburg camp. His
public utterances have been political in effect. J lo evi
dently labors under the delusion that Roosevelt is still
president, lie has repeatedly shown his loyalty to the
c.-pre.sidenl in preference to his coniniandei'-in-ebicif, 1 Ik;
president. Jle planned to leave the army to command
Roosevelt's proposed volunteer army, which would have
demoralized the draft and disorganized the regular army
by withdrawing officers, and since has been an outspoken
critic of the war management.
The "National Security League," a Wall street eahal,
in the political interests of Roosevelt, has conducted an
extensive propaganda to shatter public confidence in the
administration by endless attacks and barrages of poison
ous gasses of criticism. Upon the failure of the long con
tinued assault upon Daniels, the league switched its op
erations with first Maker and then the president as its
target. It backed the effort to take control otHho war out
of the president's hands and place, it in Roosevelt's hands,
with Wood to supplant Pershing in France. Upon the col
lapse of the scheme, Roosevelt in his mad chase for the
presidency, has resumed his venomous attacks in which
politics and patriotism are strangely blended with poli
tics ever uppermost.
In the press dispatches, General Wood is quoted as
saying regarding his demolition:
"I'm a soldier. click my heels together, salute and
obey my orders."
The fact that he was not in supreme command evident
ly rankled General Wood, for upon his return from France
he criticised and found fault with everything done by
I'ershiiig, both in the press and before congressional com
mitters. Jle did his share to discredit the conduct of the
war. Had he clicked his heels together, saluted and ob
served army discipline he would probably have been on his
way to France now with his division.
General Wood is clearly being disciplined for his own
breech of discipline in censuring his superior officers. Per
shing probably wants as his chief generals only those
whose loyalty to him can be depended upon, not those
whose discontent and jealously of his command may throw
sand in the gears of the military machine which must work
smoothly to crush the Hun.

the various shows and attractions

MEN AND
WASHINGTON", .May :!. War de
partment officials aro highly pleased
with tho conduct of tho Amorican
troops In their frst offensive against
the Germans in I'ieardy. The at
tack that brot tho capture of Caii
tlngy, they pointed out today, was
delivered with speed and precision,
testifying to tho hard hitting quality
of the Americans.
Tho quick consolidation of the
ground won, noted by both foreign
and American correspondents, offi
cers say, gives satisfactory proof of
the apltudo of Amoricnn officers and
men in learning tho methods of mod
ern warfare.
Some officers believe the Ameri
can attack may forcast tho launch
ing of a counter-offensive- of larger
scope by General Foch. They regard
the time and place ot the operations
as right for a feeling out thrust as
a preliminary to a counter assault In
force. 1
The German claim of 15,000 pris
oners in the new thrust on the Aisne
' front did not strike observers here
as unusual, should it prove true. Brit
ish official statements have shown
that the front lino trench system In
this sector was overrun In tlio enemy
rush, which, appears to have pene
trated to the maximum depth or
about ton miles. It is believed that
rear guard action account for many
captures.
Most observers aro still convinc
ed that tlio Germans have not yet
struck at the point where their real
ofrensivo is planned.
