Departent?

General Leonard Wood, according to reports from Manila, has made up his mind to resign as Governor General of the Philippines. His superior, Secretary Weeks, said nothing on the subject. General Wood declared that he expected to resign because his work was done. Perhaps he was tired of the climate. Said he:

"I have never received a threatening letter and I travel all over the islands unarmed and without a guard or escort. Everywhere they have received me cordially.

"Even their politicians whom I so often have had to oppose, are pleasant men socially, whose society I enjoy and they appear to like me. I feel sure that many of them feel deep down in their hearts that I am only considering the best interests of their people."
