PRIMA DONNA LABEL HUNG ON GENJERSHING •Leonard Wood Biography " Relates Refusal for Service in France. By Scripps-Houxird \etctpaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—The World war is fought all over again in the biography of Major General Leonard Wood just published by -Harper and Brothers. General Pershing is pictured as a military prima donna who would brook no rivalry and is credited with the decision of the war department to detach Wood from command of his division just as it was sailing for France. This, according to Herman Hagedorn, General Wood’s biographer, broke his heart. The blow was not softened when Secretary of War Newton D. Baker told him that Pershing did not want him in France. It was Wood, as chief of staff who gave Pershing command of the American expedition into Mexico when the United States chased Francisco Villa. Quote Baker Policy Baker, having selected Pershing as commander-in-chief of the 'American expeditionary forces, is quoted as telling Wood that he had adopted a fixed policy of supporting Pershing “and I must support him or relieve him.” ‘‘l mean to support him,” Baker -added. ‘‘Then, I am to take it you are informing me officially that General Pershing does not desire me to serve in France,” Wood said to Baker, according to his notes of the conference written immediately thereafter. “Yes,” Baker replied, “you may take it as an official statement. General Pershing most positively does not want you in France; and frankly, General Wood, I must state that if I were commanding general in France I should not want you, as I fear you would not be subordinate.” Choice Narrowed In a letter to Author Hagedorn, Baker discloses that his choice of commanding general of the A. E. F. narrowed down to Pershing and Wood. Baker asserted that at no time did President Woodrow Wilson influence his decision against Wood. During the war, Wood’s friends felt that Wilson was prejudiced against him. Baker credits Wood with the original suggestion for the selective draft. “Before the idea occurred to me,” he wrote, “it had occurred to General Wood, carefully was studied by him and was transmitted to General Hugh L. Scott, the chief of staff, who submitted it to me and supported it with General Wood’s arguments in its favor. This seems to me to have been a great contribution by General Wood.” The biography reveals, however, that Wood entertained no great admiration for Baker, and held him responsible for the long delay between the declaration of war and America’s effective participation overseas.

Former Governor Janies P. Goodrich, Indiana financier, entered the branch banking field Thursday. Through the state charter board, he obtained permission to open a branch of his Winchester Peoples Loan and Trust Company bank at Modoc. Charter of the Boone County bank, Lebanon, was renewed.
