RECORD OF WOOD

8ECRETARY ROOT WRITES TO8ENATOR PROCTOR

FAVORS THE YOUHGER GENERALS

Where Rule of Seniority Prevails Mil ¬

itary System Must Be Weak SoundReasons President Should Follow inMaking Military Appointments

WASHINGTON The letter of Sec-retary

¬

Root to Senator Proctor actingchairman of the committee on mili-tary

¬

affairs dated November 18 lastgiving a resume of the military rec ¬

ord of General Leonard Wood andstating the chief considerations whichted to his nomination as a major gen-

eral¬

was made public Sunday Afterquoting from remarks commendatoryto General Wood made by GeneralMiles Lawton Graham and Forsythetfie letter recites that upon these andsimilar evidences of fitness PresidentMcKinley appointed Captain Woodcolonel of the First volunteer cav-alry

¬

in May 1898 The secretary alsoquotes from the commendations ofGenerals Young Wheeler Sumner andShafter on General Woods conduct inthe Santiago campaign and says Gen-

eral¬

Woods appointment as command ¬

er of the Santiago province appearsto have been based upon a statementmade by General Shafter in a dis ¬

patch to the department in which hesaid he thought General Wood by farthe best man to leave in command ofSantiago

The secretary reviews GeneralWoods subsequent military careersaying in this connection

The high estimate put by the sec-retary

¬

of war upon General Woodsservices as military governor is shownin the published orders of the wardepartment referring to the generalorders of March 25 1903 and July 41902 which have heretofore been pub-lished

¬

The secretary adds that theopinions expressed In those ordersalso were the opinions of both presi-dents

¬

under which the service wasrendered saying

Upon a review of General Woodsentire military record I think it fairto say that no officer in the Amercan army below the grade of majorgeneral has held more important com-mands

¬

rendered more distinguishedservice or demonstrated to a higherdegree the possession of the qualitieswhich fit a man to render valuableservice to the country as a major gen-eral

¬

Speaking of the principles ofwhich he says sound political reasonrequires the president to follow inmaking appointments the secretaiisays

The law which recognizes seniorityalone as the title to promotions upto the grade of colonel abandons thatrule when it deals with general off-icers

¬

and imposes upon the presidentthe duty of selecting the best menfor generals without expressing anylimitation upon the class from whichhe is to make the selection

The secretary adds that when sucha selection is to be made two differ-ent

¬

considerations always presentthemselves to the appointing mindone a desire to reward long and mer-itorious

¬

service the other to securethe bast possible man

sons¬
