urged by Elbert C. Barry, chairman of

you know you have only to give the
order and the attack will be made,
but | must tell you that l think it is a
useless waste of brave lives
The most heroic picture left of Lee
in the excitement of battle, is, &C
cording to our authority, the account
of his decision to remain North of
the Potomac after Antietam:
General after general rode up to
the commanders headquarters, all
with the same tale of disbursement
and counsel of retreat. Hood was
quite unnamed my God!" cried
Lee to him, with unwonted vehem-
ence, "where is the splendid division
you had this morning?' "They are
lying on the field where you sent
them" answered Hood. Even Jack
son did not venture to suggest any
thing but withdrawal. There were a
few moments of oppressive silence.
Then Lee rose erect in his stirrups
and said Gentlemen, we will not
cross the Potomac tonight. You will
go to your respective commands,
strengthens your lines, send two off
GERS from each brigade toward the
ford to collect your stargglers and
bring them up. Many have come in.
I have had the proper steps taken to
collect all the men who ARE in the
rear. If Mcclellan wants to fight in
the morning I will give him battle.
Co." They went, and in this case
at least, Lees glorious audacity was
justified; for he proved to all the
world that McClelland did not dare
attack him again
Lees unfailing politeness, self
command-probably no man ever
commanded an army, and at the same
time so entirely commanded himself
as Lee-patient, tact and sympathetic
make an essential part of the por-
trait of the man. His personal infiu-
ence in critical moments was i'm
mense. We read:
"On one occasion, just before battle,
there was heard to pass from mouth
to mouth as a sort of watchword
the simple comment Remember,
General Lee is looking at u.s." Stu
arts aide, Won Borcke, describes a
scene which is immensely effective
as showing how little the General re-
lie don words, and how little he
needed to. Lee was riding through
the ranks before a charge. "He ut
tered no word. He simply removed
his hat and passed bareheaded along
the line. I had it from one who
witnessed the act. TT was said he
the most eloquent address ever de-
livered' And a few minutes later
he heard a youth, as he ran forward

nest, and he took it from the ground
and tenderly replaced it. with the
bullets whistling about him
No general was ever more careful
of his men, though at very critical
times, General Longstreet has as
serted, Lee sometimes became almost
unbalanced in a perfect fury of
combatitiveness." OF Lee at Get
tysburg, Longstreet wrote bitterly;
THAT he was excited and off his bal
ance was evident on the afternoon of
the first, and that he labored under
that oppression until blood enough
was shed to appease him"
This suggestion is "grotesque," but
continues Mr. Bradford, there is evil
dence that, once in fight, General
Lee hated to give it up, and occa-
let his ardor overcome his
discretion. For instance, Captain
Ransom has related in Harper's Mag
azine how he Involuntary overheard
a conversation between Lee and
Longstreet just before the surrender
at Appomattox:
81 must have slept for an hour at
east, when again was awakened by
he loud, almost fierce tones of Gen
eral Lee, saying, 4 tell you, General
Iongstreet, I will strike that man

difficulties, ending as before, General |

who would not fight after what Gen
eral Lee said, was a damned cow
ard"
THE enemy were retiring and the
troops swept forward through the
tumult of battle and the smoke of
woods and dwellings burning about
them. Everywhere the field was
strewn with the wounded and dying
of both armies. "In the midst of this
scene General Lee, mounted upon
that horse which we all remember so
WELL rode to the front of his advance
ing battalions. His presence was the
signal for one of those uncontrolla.

none can appreciate who have not

One long, unbroken cheer, in which
the feeble cry of those who lay help
less on the earth blended with the
strong voices of those who still fought

and hailed the presence of the victo-
rious chief. He sat in the full real

triumph"
This was victory. But the fortunes
or war brought AppomattoX and de-
feat. Mr.. Bradford quotes a pen
picture of the Lee of those last days
of the Confederacy:
His face was still calm, but his
carriage was no longer erect, as his
soldiers had been used to see it. The
trouble of those days had already
plowed great burrows in his forehead
His eyes were red as If with weep
ing; his cheeks sunken and haggard;
his face colorless. No one who look
ed upon him then, as he stood there
in full view of the disastrous end,
can ever forget the intense agony
written upon his features. And yet
he was calm, self-possessed and DELHI,

And with glimpse of the scene in
that plain Virginia farmhouse, and
of the two great Captains of the
war between the states, the writer
brings to close his story of the va
rious sides of the great American.
Grants career has the vigor, the
the patness, the rough
ness, of terse military dispatch. It
fits its place and fills it, and all is
said. Lees has the breadth, the dig I
nifty, the majesty, the round and full
completeness of a Miltonic epic
more the less inspiring because its
end is tragic.-Literary Digest.

tried unsuccessfully to induce the
Diet to pass a law providing for the
construction of canal to connect the
Rhine with the Elbe, starting from
near Dusseldorf on the Rhine, and
reaching the Elbe near Magdeburg.
The agrarian interests, which pre-
dominate in Prussian legislation, took
alarm at the plan, believing that such
a canal would facilitate the import of
foreign grain into the heart of Ger
many and the bill was rejected. Sew
eral years later, however, a compro-
mise bill providing for the building of
the canal from the Rhine to a point
near Hanover was passed, but the
agrarians attached a provision to the
measure that it should not be put into
operation before tolls had been rein
troduced on all the nayigable streams
of the Empire, intending this as a fur
Their measure for checking the ship
ment of imported grain into the inte-

Thereupon the Prussian government
set to work to obtain the cooperation
of the other German states for the
passage of a law reviying navigation
dues. The assistance of Bavaria and
Wirtemberg was obtained by holding
out hopes that the Main and Neckar
rivers would be improved in their up

would have the advantage of water

tending the city's harbor area.
In one important respect the new
law fails to meet the expectations of
the agrarians. In order to obtain the
support of the other states for it's
plans, Prussia was obliged to agree to
ike the tolls at a very low figure, and
hence they will not prove a very |

MAHER, AMERICOy, WINS
english RACING HONORS

London, Dec. 16.-With the fiat
racing season at an end, sporting
men are discussing the usual array
of statistics published by the papers.
In the list of winning jockeys, Danny
Maher, the American rider, is third
with first under the wire, but second
in percentage.
For the preceding seven years Nah
er has ben first in percentage. al
though in winning mounts he was sec
ond to NVOotOn in 1909 and 1910. For
the first time since 1908, Maher has
failed to ride 100 winners, the number
this season being one short Of the
century mark. Since 1900. when he
made his first appearance on an Eng
fish race course, Maher has ridden
1,197 winners. an average of 90 a wear.
Wooton in six years has ridden GA
winners, an average of 112 a year.
Wooton had by far his most success
full year this season, having been IN
on 1877 winners out of TAG mounts.
The taking ON of weight may re.
lieve Maher of his greatest rival, as
it is said on this account Wooton NAV
not be able to ride more than one
more season, In order to insure even
this brief extension of his racing
season he will be compelled to spend
the winter in India, where he will pct
sufficient work to keep him down to
weight. Maher also finds it increas.
ingly difficult to keep to weight. To
avoid taking on fat he will spend the
winter hunting.
It was clear many weeks ago that
Earl Derby, senior steward of the
Jockey Club, would head the list of
winning owners. His aggregate of
$215,000 Is nearly double the amount
which placed him second to Mr. Fairie
last year. No owner has had such
sum to his credit since 1890, when
Leopold de Rothschild topped the list
with total of $233,SOO. Two horses

Lord Derby's money for him.

Berlin, Dec 18.-The shining pick
elhaube," the spiked helmet of the
German soldier, will be replaced soon,
probably by a lighter headgear with
out the polished surface. Several
models of new helmets have been tried
by various detachments of the army
recently, and, though none has been
found to give complete satisfaction,
the test will be continued Two ma
terial changes may be expected in
whatever style is chosen. There will
be no polished spike at the top, nor
will the helmet itself be polished, per-
hitting the reflected rays of the sun
to easily betray the position of the
troops. At present this disadvantage
is overcome, during maneuvers, by
wrapping the helmet in canvas.
