TYO ESTINATEs OF -


Tuesday Of this week, January Is,
vas the lO2nd anniversary Of the birth
day Of Robert E Lee and i was OBJ
served as q legal holiday in FLORIDA
and a number Of other Southern States.
The language Of highest eulog has
been 80 often employed N analyzing
the character and career Of General
Lee that to say more would almost nee
sszriIy be the repetition Of what has
been already said The nan himself
vas almost Incompatible N the full
orbed strength and splendOr Of his
character, and the whole EngEsh-speak-
ing word has come TO look upon him
81 one Of the very greatest products OF
the race and to bracket him N history
with that other Virginia rebel, George
Washington. Il IS right to recall Lees
virtues and his genius On these recun-
ing anniversaries Of his birthday, FOX
great human examples are among the
priceless legacies OfhistOry and no finer
model could be offered to the youth Of
any hnd than that furnished BY the
personality Of this MustnOus man. We
select two recent opinions Of him, one
from q former foe dealing with him
purely as q soldier, and the other from
the Time%UuiOn, as interesting eOntr-
buttons to the subject. The Tines
Union SAYS:
Lee was the greatest Enghsh-spezk-
mp general that ever commanded an
army. He IS often considered q defen-
sive strStegist-the man who N nearly
every battle made thesttsek and forced
the fighting. He fought only two great
battles on the defensive. In the others
be attacked. he never lost an impor-
tant battle-Only at Gettysburg and
Antietzm was he checked, and in nei-
ther Of these was he defeated Lee
was great as a general but as a well
rounded character without fault or fol-
be he was the first gentleman Of his
tory. Even n the bitter days Of civil
var the enemies Of the South conceded
the holiness Of his character.
Major Eben Swift, Of the general
staff Of the United States army N dis
eussing Lee at the recent meeting Of
the American Historical Association,
said:
Lee was the only general Of NspO-
Icons type who ever lived, and wheth-
ggreAter or not, who shall say! OF
all great soldiers no one but Lee prob
ably encountered as dangerous an ad-
verSary as Grant Napoleon yielded al
last TO smaller ODDS and his disaster
was complete, but Lees army al the
end Of the Wilderness campaign was as
aggressive and high-Sprted as ever.
Lee made Eve campaigns IN q single
year; no other man and no other army
ever did as much NapoleOn's Lucky
star often brought victory which his
combinations had not prepared, and
saved him from disaster which he had
not tOEeseen- Il vii be hard 10 find
where luck and good fortune ever re-
