THAT TIGER WHISTLE

Mr.. Editor:
When the ominous sound of the
fire alarm is heard, suggestions of
coming disaster agitate ones mind ;
some persons owing to their ner-
vousness suffer untold pains, those
that are confined to their beds by
sickness are seriously disturbed
by the noise and attendant ankle
ty. When tho alarm is sounded
because of a raging fire or of one
in its incipiency no one can or
would complain, it becomes ne
cessary that the fre-fghtsrs be
warned that a conflagration is me-
nacing persons and property; but
the abuse of that Tiger-whistIs is
getting to be nuisance; it's
shrieks are heard on the most
flimsy pretext. The idea to ava
ken whole committy, by the
deafening shrieks of that whistle
in the advanced hours of the night,
because of q midnight mass, to
say the least is most inconceivable.
In anticipation of an election, we
are treated to this same ear.spIit.
ting and awe inspiring noise,
merely to be reminded, that every
voter should 20 to the polls.
Again, during the last disastrous
wind storm, when every one WAS
most anxious for the safety of
wives and children, and looking 10
their protection, that wretched,
Ontlandish noise is sent forth,
ostensibly as an alarm of fire, CON-

ere to leave their dear ones, and
this when the hurricane WAS at it's
worst in a driving rain, because
one mans roof WAS blown off and
his merchandise was getting wet.
Something should be done to re.
medy this evil. We are sure the PEG.
pie would appreciate any efforts
you would make to have this nui-
sance stopped, for it 10 a nuisance;
perhaps by the help of some plan.
sibls argument you might impress
on the mind of those in authority
that AL alarm of fire has some SER
iousness about it, and that this
Tiger-whistle should not be consi.

military critic, reviewing the per
sonal narrative of the battle Of
Gettysburg written by Col Frederick
A. Haskell OF Wisconsin, within a
month after the fight, but only re.
Gently published finds In It new rea.
son to ask the question. why did
Gen. Lee fail?"
AS a soldier, he AYERS, Lee Is in.
dubitably a far greater figure than
Meade. How could such leader fail,
in the prime of his power, and with an
army almost matchless, practically
equal in numbers to the adversarles
whom he had repeatedly beaten? What
brought that proud spirit so low that
he fell into depression and begged that
he might be allowed to resign?
Gen. Morris Schaff. a graduate Of
West Point, and a soldier of long ex.
perience. in some of his discursive re
marks In his story of the Battle OF the
Wilderness, gives a plausible answer
to this question, probably without hav
ing seen it, as his story was written
before the review above referred to ap-
peared.
Lees orders In every case to those
in front that day were qualified by
the caution not to bring on a general
engagement. Orders Of this kind,
Schaff says, are embarrassing; for a
corps or division commander never
knows how far to push his successes.
Then he adds:
Their evils had a good illustration
at Gettysburg. There Lee used iden-
tically the same language on the first
day; and when Trimble urged Ewell
to take advantage Of the complete
overthrow of our First corps and fol.
low up our disordered troops and
seize the Cemetery Ridge, he replied
that he had orders from Lee not to
bring on a general engagement Lees
orders were indeterminate and there
fore hamperlng; and for that reason,
and on that account, / believe. he lost
the battle Of Gettysburg"
Speaking from a military stand
point. it is quite likely that Gen. Lee
erred from excessive caution, realizing
that he was In the enemy's country,
and that II defeated an energetic com.
mander opposed TO him might push
him TO destruction
