the head Of tie army, General Hooker
Hundreds Of officers had resigned and
prominent major generals had asked
to be relieved from serving under
Hooker in another appa!lanncck cam
palgn. Lincoln came and spent some
days talking it over With the generals.
Then the army was called out, and
Lincoln rode down the line accom-
panied by his little son Tad" riding

with the president, off in Washington,
but not with Father Abraham. right
there at the front with his favorite
boy, his heart already torn by fresh
grief at the loss Of ''Tad's" baby play

AS military man the president new
er aroused the respect of the army ard
after the disasters OF Second Bull Run
and Fredericksburg. Which. rightly or
wrongly, We're laid at his door, the idea
OF his Interference was to the mass in
tolerable. He told Grant in so many
words that he didn't profess to be a
military man or to know how cam
paigns should be conducted and never
wanted 70 Interfere. He had done so
at times under pressure from the peo-
pie of the noreh and congress. but was
certain his Interference had been wrong
in some cases. possibly in all. One sto-
~ Of his nagging the generals was told
with great gusto by the critics Of the
army, which, if true. would have
stamped Lincoln as man of coarse
Gber and vacillatiEg mind. This was
to the effect that at one time he wired
Mcclellan to either "attack Richmond
or give up the job" The truth is that
the joke was upon the scared heads in
Washington, Philadelphia and New
York. The army was carrying out the
actual campaign set by the war de-
partment and investing Richmond.
Suddenly Stonewall Jackson swooped
down upon the army Of Banks in the
Shenandoah valley and drove it to the
Potomac. Washington got news that
the Confederates were threatening
Leesburg and the Manassas Gap rail-
road IN front Of Washington. Lincoln

The Immediate defense Of Washing
ton while the army was at distance
coping with the main enemy gave the
president great concern and also an Op-
pUrtunity to exercise his military in
clina1i::ns. At the time Of Early's raid,
in 1864, Lincoln went out to the point
of danger with Il column of fresh
troops which, Grant had sent up from
Petersburg to strengthen the local gar
rison. Of clerks and convalescents.
While watching the skirmishers in
front Of Fort Stevens, which Early at
tackled. Lincoln got within range and
was urged by the generals to retire.
and he did so only after considerable
protest.
The capture Of Richmond was the
one great problem of Lincoln's incum-
bency. 1t became a bugbear. so often
was it attempted under his mnnipula-
ton without success. 1t was during
e talk with Grant as to how he-Grant
would proceed that Lincoln confessed
his military mistakes and want of ex-
periencc. Grant refrainod from laying
bare his plans for the reason, as he de-
clared, that while they locked hopeful
they might fail, and he didn't wish to
disappoint Lincoln. who had had the
matter Oh his heart for three years.
After Grant laid siege to Petersburg
and Eichmcnd and Lincoln was canli-

to the president. "Nothing can defeat
you but Grants capture of Richmond
and his nomination by the opposite
party"
''Well," said Lincoln. 81 feel very
much like the man who said he didn't
want to die particularly, but if he had
got to die that was precisely the dis
ease he'd like to die Of"
At last the hour came for the final
blow which was to decide once for all
the fate Of Richmond Lincoln visited
Grants headquarters at City Point. on
the James, miles in rear of the besieg-
ing lines. Grant requested him to re-
main there while he went in person to
the front to direct the troops, the gen
eral promising to send the president
frequent dispatches Of the progress
made by the advance. On the heels of
the victory at Five Forks Grant wired
the president to join him and received
his call in house in the captured city
Of Petersburg, Richmond having fallen
a few hours before Lincoln arrived.

army for the victory. Lincoln said, "Do

notable reviews of that body were at
Antictam Immediately after the great

after "Fighting Joe' Hooker assumed

at crisis in wars fluctuations and
in the temper Of the army, and Lin
coins appearance just at the time had
the effect of impressing his personality
as commander in chief upon the minds
of the troops above the immediate gen
eral in command. For couple of weeks
before the battle Of Antietam he would

on, 'from the complaints of these boys

Whenever a rascally commissary,
quartermastcr or paymaster was dis.

the credit for it in camp. He made nc
public professions of his good will to
the boys and never praised them with
eloquent harangues, but now and then
he dropped homely phrase which
showed the place they held in his
heart. One day there was an issue in
the councils between the soldiers and
their general. Lincoln sided with the
man with the musket, and. when re-
monstrated with for risking giving Of
tense to a prominent officer, lie ex-
claimed. 'But l can make a general
any time with a stroke of the pen, and
good soldiers are hard to get"
All through the war the soldiers dis
liked military frills and ceremony and
for that reason took to Lincoln, the
American ideal of democratic simple
ity. Every story which was racy of
the rail- splitter president, especially if
1t related to the army, was eagerly
caught up and made camp property
One day a German nobleman who had
seen service in the fatherland appeared
at the White House as an applicant
for commission. Lincoln liked the
young fellow for his personal bearing
solely and promised him an appoint
ment. Being overjoyed at his good
luck, the foreign sprig began to impress
the president with his Importance at
home, saying that he belonged to one
Of the oldest noble houses in Europe
"Oh, never mind that" said Lincoln,
with gravity in his look and tone ut
will not be serious obstacle to your
advancement in this country"
The soldiers in turn treated foreign
officers sent among them in the same
spirit If they fought we'll, their old
world records didn't count against
them and on the other hand didn't do
them any good.
After the army grew to vast proper
