Ii‘ali will testify is definitely settled.
The committee will not meet to-
day because in memory of “'oodrow

liui will adjourn immediately to
await action of the Senate on its
request for reenactment of the reso-

Publishes, Let t e r
Written by President
in 1918
PRINGFIELD. Mags" Feb. 4,—-
Mifjor General Leonel-j Wood was
not given a commend in France
primarily because General l’ershtng
did not wish him to have one and
secondly because President Wilson,
though crediting Wood with un-
usual ability." thought him appar.
ently absolutely unable to submit
his judgment to those who 'nre au-
perlor to him in commend.
This answer to the
during the war and frequently cull.
ed up in the subsequent years was
answered today when the Spring-
field Republican, considering
Mr. Wilson's death gave it the liber-I
tl. made public a. personal letter to
the editor of 'the newspaper written
by the President on June 5. 191'.
Mr. Wilson's letter was a. rejoin-
der to an editorial of the newspaper
calling attention to General Woods
abilities and popular followfug and
observing in substance. that if it
was not the administration's purpose
to send. General Wood to the battle
front it should make that. decision
only on adequate grounds.
Friends or General Wood bud
charged he was a victim of political
prejudice and at about. that time
civilians returning from France had
reported that. General Woods brief
tour of inspection on the other side.
during which he was wounded by
the bursting of a. sun. had threaten-
ed discussion between him end Gen-
eral Pershing.
Atnny rate. a few days after the
publciatlon of its editorial the Re-
publican received from Mr. Wilson
the following personal letter which
was made public today:
The Lotta.
"The White House. Washington.
June 5. 1918—-
"To the Editor of the Republican:—
“I hope you will not be surprised
to know that I subscribed almost in
its entirety to tho inclosed editorial
from the Republican.
“1 am keenly aware of and keenly
sensitive to the implications which
will be drawn out of the fact that I
am not sending General Wood ‘0
the other side. and I want personal
friends like yourself upon whose ap-
proval I depend for any encourage-
ment to know why I am not sending
him.
-"In the first place. I am not
sending him because General Persh-
ing has said that he doel not want
him. and in the second place. Gen-
eral Pershinrs dialnclinntion to have
General Wood sent. over, is only too
Well rounded. Wherever General
Wood goes there is controversyan
conflict of judgment. On this side
of the water we can take care of
things 0: that sort. because the
lighting is not being done here. but
it would be fatal to let it so on at cr
anywhere near the front.
Mode Use of Here.
“I have had a. great deal of ex-
perience with General \l‘ood. He is
n I’lln of unusual ability. but ap-
parently absolutely unable to sub-
mit his judgment. to those who are
superior to him in command. I am
sorry that his great ability cannot be
made use of in France. but. at the
same time. I am glad to say that it
is being made Very much use of in
the training of soldiers on this side
of the water. a task for which he is
eminently Well fitted and which he
is performing with, diligence and
success.
“With sincere regard.
