SAVED FROM HAREM
Armenian Girls Rescued from Turka Being Taken to Near East Relief Home.
The three pretty Armenian girls In the auto are taking a real "Joy ride,"
joyful having another meaning from that generally associated with auto
riding here. They hare been rescued from the harem of a Turk after four
years of shameful servitude and are heing taken to one of the Near East
Relief rescue homes. No wonder they are smiling for the first time since
their captivity. The Near East Relief Is caring for many thousands of these
girls until they can find their relatives. Also It Is working to save 250,000
orphans and over a million adults from starvation this winter. That Is why
It Is making a nation wide appeal for funds to carry on its noble work.

WOOD HAS VARIE
CIVIL EXPERIENCE
ADMINISTRATIVE QUALITIES AftE
TESTED AND PROVED IN HAN
DLING GREAT BUSINESS
PROBLEMS.
By EDWARD B. CLARK.
From time to time people ask,
"What has been the administrative
and business experience of Leonard
Wood? What has been his experience
with men outside of the army? What
does he know about conditions in the
different parts of the United States
and in our overseas possessions? Has
he any thorough knowledge of foreign
affairs and of our foreign relations?"
The administrative qualities of
Leonard Wood have been tested and
proved. No American living has been
tried more thoroughly than he In com
plex fields of constructive civil work,
administrative work of the highest
order which carried with it the neces
sity for the exercise of keen business
acumen.
The republic of Cuba, built upon
firm democratic foundations, is a mon
ument to the administrative ability of
Leonard Wood. In the Philippines is
to be found another monument to his
statesmanship.
Leonard Wood graduated In medi
cine from Harvard University In 1884
and served for more than a year In
one of the great hospitals, later to
take charge of the charity depart
ments In a section of the city of Bos
ton where the poor lived.
Not long after the completion of
Wood's work In Boston he became an
assistant surgeon In the army, coming
int contact with the wejtern plains
man, the miner, the people generally,
and giving much of his time to the
work of assisting the Indians and to
a study of the problems of Irrigation
and reclamation.
Then for Leonard Wood there came
four years In California. He covered,
the state many times in pursuance of
his duties and extended his field as
occasion required into the states' of
the Northwest. Then for two years he
was in service In the South, having
headquarters In Georgia.
From the South Leonard Wood went
to the city of Washington, where his
work brought him Into daily contact
with Grover Cleveland. Then he had
the same Intimate relations with Wil
liam McKlnley and the men of his
time.
Then came the Spanish war and the
active campaign In Cuba as the col
onel of the regiment of rough riders
jf which Theodore Roosevelt was the
ieutenant colonel.
At the close of the Spanish war
Leonard Wood's supreme administra
tive duties began. He was made the
governor of the city of Santiago and
a few weeks later of the entire east
ern half of Cuba.
Under Wood profiteering was abol
ished, industry was built up, agricul
ture rehabilitated, hospitals organ
ized, 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
aulckly provided.
1 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
AGS&aSTMTOR
varieties of it than it has been the lot
o many men ever to have placed up
on their shoulders.
Not long after this there came the
greater opportunities In Havana. It
was necessary to re-write the election
laws to make them fit the hubits of the
people. Production had to be stimu
lated, for agriculture was the main
source of the island's wealth. Here
again the same measures were follow
ed and its a result there were estab
lished law and order, protection of
life 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 90 per
cent of the officials engaged in the
great work of reconstruction were
selected from the people of the Island.
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
ganize the Cuban railroads Wood se
cured the services of Sir William Van
Home, president of the Canadian Pa
cific, and of Granville M. Dodge, build
er of the Union Pacific.
The same general policy was '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 Cuba by Wood to aid in tire
establishment of a system for placing
and permanently caring for these lit
tle desolates. Chief Justice White
of the Supreme court of the United
States, at that time an associate Jus
tice, was consulted as to the method to
be pursued in reorganizing the courts.
Leonard Wood was in Cuba about
four years. He left there a reorgan
ised and sound banking system, a
geod railroad system, no debts, nearly
12,000,000 unincumbered money in the
treasury, a sugar crop of nearly 1,000,
000 tons, sound municipal laws, fine
public works, a firm agricultural
foundation and an absolute respect
among the people for life and prop
erty. The school system which Wood
established was founded on the laws
of Massachusetts and Ohio. Roads
were built which made communication
speedy. The hospitals erected under his
supervision were of the highest type.
Lord Cromer said he wished this
American oilicer was available to fol
low him in his reconstruction work
In Egypt. Elihu Root said this work
never was paralleled in colonial pos
sessions anywhere. Theodore Roose
velt said that 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."
After 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 same 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, Borneo, Singapore, and to keep
In close touch with conditions in
Japan and along the China coast.
Wood traveled through India, spent
some time with the Dutch in Java, and
with Lord Cromer In Egypt. He
gained and retained knowledge of all
which at that'tlme came under his stu
dious observation.
Then Leonard Wood became chief
of the general staff of the United
States army, In whose hands rests
very largely the direction and admin
istration of the military establishment,
which after all Is 00 per cent a busi
ness matter.
The administrative career of Leon
ard Wood Is spread upon the records
of his country. The work which ha
has done is lasting. It Is a states
man's work.
CHAUt.CEY'S TURN TO LAUGH
Close-Fisted Farmer LearnoJ Some
thing About the Value Legal
Lights Set on Services.
Chauncey M. Depew, In writing the
story of his life, recalls his first law
.case. It was in Peekskill. The client
was a farmer and he wanted an opin
ion ou certain property rights.
Dejiew spent a weak in looking up
the points of law that hud hearing on
the case and when he had finished
charged the modest fee of $".
"Too much," cried the fanner.
"But it's taken me a whole tCeek to
pr( j .n-e ihis," protested Depew.
"Don't mnke no difference," declared
the farmer. "I figure $1.50 Is all it's
worth and that's all you're going to
get."
About a week later the man came to
the office again.
"Mr. Depew," he said, "I had some
doiihts ahout that opinion of yours, so
I took It down to New York and
showed it to Mr. . And whit do
you think he charged rue, just for
readin' :!:at epin.i.ii i.f yours and put
ting his (). K. on it?"
'I !w i-.iucli." demanded Depew, all
exiirod.

patented process, by which It acquires
the same mechanical qualities and
capacities as bronze, copper and brass
without changing its specific weight. It
Is said that the price of the new metal
can be kept within very low limits,
so that, even at the pre-war prices of
other metals, It will be able, by reason
of Its smaller specific weight, to com

demand In the electrical trade.
