The captain was specific in his statement that his loyalty b e unques- tioned, and privately expressed re- gret over the incident. The correc- ‘tion was received in the spirit in which it was given, the captain’s ex- planation adhering to the text of the message received by The Tribune from Major General Leonard -Wood, The Tribune did not call Captain Lanning’s loyalty into question in its criticism of yesterday, but at- tributed the incident to an unfor- tunate blunder, which has been agree- ably corrected without leaving a stain upon the name of General Wood; who has hundreds of admirers.in Casper, both on account of his fearless at- titude and reputation for veracity. It will be remembered that General Wood was deposéd from a high place in the American command for telling the Military Affairs Commitiee of the Senate the facts about the state of American preparedness, both be- fore and after the beginning of the war, and he was later reinstated as commandant at Camp Funston.
