Important changes affecting a number
of the highest officers of the army were
put into effect today as a result of the
expiration of Major General Wood's
tour of duty as chief of the general
staff. XIajor General Witherspoon be
comes chief of staff in succession to
Major General Wood, who has been as

(ieneral Witherspoon has

position he is succeeded by Prig. (Jen.
Hugh I,. Scott, late in command of the
troops at Fort Bliss, Texas. The new
chief of staff will serve only until No
vember 1. when lie will be retired from
the service on account of age.
XIajor General Wood's rise in the
army lias been spectacular. He was
first heard of as colonel of the famous
Rough Riders, lie was a physician and
army surgeon, a man of extraordinary
personal magnetism. Roosevelt picked
hint as an ideal type of commander.
Personally he and Wood were cronies.

bounds. His rapid promotion was the
cause of considerable comment in the
army and was eccentuated by the old
fight between the "line and staff." As
a surgeon in the army. Wood was of
the staff faction. His rise to power
made the XVest Pointers and others of
the "line" faction peevish. F,nt most of
intervention, it was feared, might
precipitate an attack on the Ameri

The hotel, however, could easily
be made detrndable. It is near the
river and readily accessible to land

Xloines, Chester and Dolphiu.
The rebels were reported thi.
morning to have re-entered Dona

on Tampico might he renewed with

than any other one individual.
Xot only did Wood have to buck op
position from the nriny, but he made
powerful foes in congress by his firm
stand in favor of abolition of a dozen
or more army posts. The army posts
have largely been flisiributed in the
past as political favors rather than by
strategic choice. It helped a congress
man or a senator to have a post in his
district. Put it resulted in the army
being scattered all over the country.
Gen. Wood come out fur mobilization
of the standing forces into half a dozen
no more concentration posts. He
wanted to abandon isolated garrisons
and keep the army near big centers.
"Wood's greatest achievement as the
head of the army was the development
of the militia as an authorized auxil
iary of the regular army. He has per
sistently boosted the "reserve enlist
