Umbrellas In Battle

It is conceivable that the officers of Wellington's day thought him terri ble old bully. He actually forbade umbrellas in battle. He expected them not only to expose and sacrifice their lives at the word of command. but ac- tually to risk the furnishing of their beautiful uniforms in the rain whic,' fell during a battle near Bayonne. He saw the Grenadiers sheltering unde" q forest of umbrellas and sent off Lord Hill with this message: Lord Wellin. ton does not approve of the use of um. brellas during the eneny's firing an! ~tll not allow the 'Gentle.nen'S Sons
 make themselves ridiculous in the
 of the army" After the battle
 mel Tynling was reprimanded by
 duke for permitting the otfensc
 the great man. "The guards ii -.form may. when on duty at St James,, carry umbrellas if they please but in the field it Is not only ridiculoua but unmilitary." Let 1t not be forgot ten. however. that the delinquents, dandles though they were. proved themselves among the bravest when fighting was going on.-St. James Ga oette.
