*New Hampshire Editor Comes Out for Wood Frank \V. Knox, of Man? chester "Union-Leader," Starts Boom to Make Him the Republican Candidate Party's Logical Nominee Asserts General Represents Roosevelt's Ideas and Is Constructive Leader .'.'. rial Correspondence MANCHESTER, X. H., April 28.? Frank W. Knox, editor and publisher of "The Manchester Union-Leader," an independent newspaper or large circu? lation in Northern New England, to? day declared for General Leonard Wood for President on the Republican ticket In 1920. Major Knox served with Wood and Roosevelt in the Spanish-American var, got a bullet hole in his hat at "an Juan and has just finished two fears In the great war. He enlisted is a private and came out as a major, with a <!? II. S. recommendation for a ieutenant colonelcy. To n Tribuno representative to-day, in answer to an inquiry. Major Knox made the follow? ing statement: "The state of New Hampshire is pre? sented with an opportunity right now which it has not had since the days of Franklin Pierce. It may give its sup? port to the candidacy of a native son for the Presidency. Among all the names of Republicans listed as avail? able as the standard bearer of the party in the approaching contest, the name of Leonard Wood, born in Win? chester, N. II., bulks largest. Movement Is Nution-tvide "The movement to make General Wood the nominee of the Republican : party is rapidly taking on nation-wide ? proportions and is receiving favorable 'consideration at the hands of Repub? lican leaders of every shade of political tendency and in all sections of the eountry. "It is none too early for New Hampshire, the state of Wood's na? tivity, whose people have watched hi? development into a great national leader with growing pride, to give the movement to nominate him for Presi? dent emphasis and enthusiastic in? dorsement. New Hampshire ought to take the lead in support of this splen did, forceful and successful admin- . istrator and soldier whom she gave '.' the world. "The avaiiability of General Wood does not lind its basis in the very i real grievance which New Hampshire, : in common with all of the other ! states, has against the political and ; military cabal which kept the senior major general and former chief of j staff of the American army in this j country while the great war was in i progress. That is ? part of the past! which the country will do well to j forget, excepting to remember that ! Its victim took his disappointment like ! a soldier and continued to give the i best that was in him to the training of troops for overseas service. "There are many reasons why the country is looking to Leonard Wood for leadership in these crucial days.I "First, because ho has proved him- j sel* a great and preeminently success? ful administrator in times when the derails of administration receive scant attention. While the Federal govern >rnTit concerns itself with highly ideal? istic and untried theories of world reg? ulation, the thoughtful men of the na? tion yearn for a leader who will bring his best powers to the task of domestic reconstruction, tho rehabili? tation of our interrupted industry and commerce, the organization of our re? sources for the greatest period of ex? pansion of our export trade we have ever contemplated, tho application of our war-built merchant marine to the purposes of peace, the reestab?shment of railroad transportation upon a sound basis, and the various other prob.ems of acute importance which aw it attention?aT.d at present re? ceive none. First for Preparedness "Second, Leonard Wood is held in ?highest esteem because be did more than any other official in American public life to provide the only measure of preparedness for participation in the war that was taken prior to our entrance?tie cstablishmeat of the jPlattabcrg system of training for re? serve officers and the sole provision of any sort made for possible ho?-1 ?litiea. The Plattaburgn idea was ] Wood'?. More than this. Wood alone, among officials in or oral of tie army, -, had the perspicacity to see and the j courage to ?warn tie people o? the ,? country of tie dangers that lay ahead \ and of the certainty of this nation ? ultimately being compelled t? do its ; part in defeating Prussianism. It was for this he eiiffered, and tie higii value of that sen-ice Lb tins only re emphasized **Third, the Wood candidacy appeals I i? that great number of Republicans? j a rast majority?who looked to The?- j dort Roosevelt for i?olitical guidanc* ] and who confidently expected _ hin? to j be the unanimous choice of his party ) for the Presidential nomination next ; veaT "Beyond all othera Leonard Wood en- , joyed'th* confidence and friendship of | Theodore Roosevelt. No man ervta did ' Leonard Wood's thinking for him, and the two had their friendly differences, , iut both approached public questions nd public'duties from precisely the I ame angle and usually arrived at the I ame destination. There can be little oubt but that General Wood would h Theodore Roosevelt's choice, were he latter still living and asked to nake a selection for Republican leader n 1920. ? - .,i . ??

In telling of the rescue of Colonel Whittlesey's men, Major Jen? kins said: "When the Lost Battalion wt?s""sur rounded by the Germans and cut off from the troops it was advancing with the Germans wer? as much surprised as Whittlesey's men. The Germans immediately closed in behind, and in order to stop communication with the rest of the American troops, strung wires across all possible passages be? tween Whittlesey and the rest of his brigade. I sent out three parties of three men each to try to get into communication. None got through. Only one man came back. We advanced in waves and lines and got nowhere. Then we resorted to Indian warfare, and finally broke through the German li:?. "Of the thousand men and twenty six officers of the ?id Battalion who went into action, only 250 men and four officers survived." Captain Ward Chamberlain, of Com? pany L, received the D. S.

Mothers of 77th Heroes Hear How Their Sons Fell on Field of Glory ,_ Chaplain J. J. Halligan, of the 308th Infantry, came in from Camp Mills yesterday morning to talk to the mothers who have a peculiar interest in the great parade on Tuesday, mothers who care for only one thing, that is . to hear from the careful lips of the regiment's chaplain the story of how their boys fell out of the rank?. It was a sad and a bravo little com i pany that waited in Ihe rooms of the 308th Infantry Association at 15 East Fortieth Street, and went in. une by . one, to beg for the meagre stories that were all the chaplain had for them in most eases. A diary or two, handed to him per ! sonally by some young officer who trusted him with the precious relic in the last hurried moments before ? ho "went over," were all he had. be? sides the long typewritten lists which ? told just where each boy was buried. ? It is on a quiet terrace, at the foot of the hill where the "Lost Battalion" I lay for five days in "fox holes," that | most of its heroes are lying now. Moulin de Chnrleveaux is the name of the tiny graveyard where Chaplain Halligan helped bury 250 of the "Lost Battalion." Maps showing tha loca? tion, and direction as to how to reach it and identify t lie spot where her own boy lies, so that she may go her? self and visit the grave when time shall permit the pilgrimage, were : about all the consolation the chaplain , could give each mother. "Few of the boys had an opportunity ! to send any last, messages," he ex? plained to each mother. "They were ! all trying so hard to keep up their ; courage foi- ihe sake of comrades lying beside them. They kept their I pain to themselves and their knowl? edge tiiat were 'going west'- ? i when they were aware of this, which j was not always? so as not to lower the courage of their comrades. We I can all be proud of their gaineness, for I don't know a single one of those i hoys who did not play the game to the last, minute." A murmured word to the priest I which he had to guess at, or at most I a faint "Tell my mother when you I see her"?this was all that passed their lips, Father Halligan reported. i However, the mothers had waited ! months to hear even that and were grateful to the chaplain for giving them the opportunity. Many liad given up the day to travelling in from the suburbs to see him. Praise for Fighters Foi Cue regiment Chaplain Halligan had only the highest words of praise. "Those clerks and lawyers and gro? cers and subway guards," he said, "who had never seen a gun until they reached camp, proved they had the same lighting material that the vet? erans had. After they had had the i i first taste of lire they were seared vet? erans, ready for anything. They got that taste on the Vesle in the first weeks of August. One night, when they had not learned that warfare car be carried on at night, and were peace? fully sleeping in their trenches, the Boche sent a few big ones over and woke them up. After that they did no! wait for the Germans to wake them up but went after them first and just rus? tled them off the pavement." Chaplain Halligan was with then then and with them when they hac their first taste of gas |n dug-outs which were saturated with it wlier they entered. He was with them it the Argonne, too, but in administer? ing to a dying German, who was beg ging for a priest, he missed his chance to be with the "Lost Battalion." Chaplain Halligan and Chaplain Rus sell G. Nye will be in the headquarters to-day and to-morrow in the forenoon and again on Sunday afternoon, tha all mothers who have questions to asl about their sons may have the oppor tunity. Many are anxious to hea what little is known of those who were reported "missing." There are abou one hundred of these cases. The 308th Infantry Association ha another task on its hands, too, pre liminary to the parade-that is, show ing the sights of the town to the re placement troops.

Lieutenant Colonel Louis 15. Gerow, division adjutant, said yesterday that discharging of the troops would begin May 7, the day after the review, and' that arrangements had been perfected at Camp Upton to release between; 10,000 and 12,000 daily. "There is a big, long building there? a veritable hopper," said Colonel Ge- ? row. "The men will go in one end sol? diers and come out at the other civil? ians with their discharges, pay to date ; and $60 bonuses." The final physical examination will: be held as soon as the men are trans- : ferred io Camp Lpton after the parade. ! Al] records necessary for discharge aro ; ready. Colonel Gerow said the division had made a wonderful record in respecting! liberty ?lasses since arriving home.! There are 'JO,000 men now in camp; and only twenty-seven cases of ab? sence without leave have been re? ported. "And of these," said Colonel Gerow, ; "many obtained extension through adequate excuse?, such as illness in ; their families." Passes for forty-eight hours will be granted to-day to the 305th Infantry, Companies A, B, C, I), I, K, L and M; | 307th Infantry, twenty men each from Companies B, C, D and E; 308th In? fantry, approximately twenty men from ! each company; 306th Field Artillery, 305th Machine Gun Battalion and 306th Machine Gun Battalion.

Loyal Shipworkers Rail at Bolsheviki; 'Get Out,' Demand *T00 Per Cent Americanism' Is Spirit Manifested in All Plants, West East, South; Agitators Are Unwelcome WASHINGTON', April 30.?Fomenters of discontent and preachers of anarchy some in for scathing denunciation in contributions by workmen appearing recently in various shipyard papers. Revolutionary agitation has evoked a veritable avalanche of letters, articles, poems and quips from men whom the agitators sought to influence, in which the writers arraign imported doctrines in no uncertain term? and demand "100 per cent Americanism" of every man working on the ships which will fly the United States flag. A compendium of the various articles makes a "vigorous, commonsense mani? festo," according to a statement to-day by the Shipping Board, ?luoting the verdict of the workmen. "The American citizen Is ready at all limes to render justice when justice is iue, but if the Bolsheviki in iliis coun? ty cannot see the American point of view they are liable to lee! it on the way out!" asserts "Speed Up," pub? lished at the Newark Bay.
