Eardly be gainsaid that the spirit and
characteristics that contributed to the
gre;:t mess of Ulysses $. Grant are re-
produced in remarkable degree in his
son Frederick Dent Grant and in his
grandson Ulysses.
Now in the prime of life, General
Fred ID. Grant is almost a perfect copy
OF his distinguished father ut cor
responding age. He has the same
square face, the same tawny beard,
the same blue eyes and the same quiet
and unobtrusive manner that charac-
teriZed the great silent soldier" The
pictures of General Ulysses s. Grant
taken at the close of the civil war and
those of Brigadier General +. ID. Grant
taken today are strikingly similar.
Veterans who have watched with keen
interest the career of General Fred
Grant in the Philippines and elsewhere
are well convinced that he is worthy
of his name and should opportunity
arise would not be found wanting in
those qualities which made his father
one of the most conspicuous of Amer
lean soldiers.
Fred Grant was with his father on
the field at EickSburg and for more
than an hour was under heavy fire
without showing the least sign of fear.
AS he WAS then only twelve years Of
age, the fathers pride was stirred by
his sons exhibition of courage. The
pluck that Fred Grant exhibited as
cadet mt West Point showed that he
had his fathers fighting stock in him.
He had been in the academy but twen-
tyfour hours when he pitched into a
cadet much larger than himself for a
supposed insult to his father At the
conclusion of the Fourth of July ora
ton an upper class man in spirit
of banter turned to young Grant and
said
''You know as we'll as any of us, do
you not, that Washington was the
greatest statesman and the greatest
soldier that this country has ever pro-
ducCd?'
''It may be and probably is fact
that he was the greatest statesman.

The instances of the gallant sons of

why names are perpetuatcd in the ar
