Fifty years ago today Gen. Robert E.
Lee issued an order asking his men to
subsist on reduced .rations.s
The text Of the order was as follows:
The commanding general considers It
due to the army to state that the tenn.
porary reduction Of rafions has been
caused by circumstances beyond the con-
troll of those charged with its support.
Its welfare and comfort are the objects
Of his constant and earnest solicitude;
and no effort has been spared to provide
for its wants. II ;is hoped that. the exer-
lions now being made win render the
necessity of short duration; but the his
tory of the army has shown that the
country can require no sacrifice too great
for its patriotic devotion.
Soldiers! you tread, with no unequal
steps. the road by which your fathers
marched through sufferingA privation.
and blood to Independence!
Continue to emulate In the future. a.
Sou have in the past. their valor In arms.

type could possibly have been selected.
Miss Fischer is playing under the direc-

been associated and whom she has played
opposite to for several years.
Her motion picture experiences have
been a continuous triumph. starting with
the Selig Polyscope Company in Chicago.
This was followed by an engagement
with the American, and later an extended
stay with the Imp. which led to the

cry. Their condition gave Lee great
anxiety" he wrote to Richmond.
Corn for our animals comes in very
slowly" he said, "and I fear that un-
less the amount can be very much in
creased. We shall lose many horses and
mules this winter" He therefore begged
the authorities Ito use great diligence
in bringing corn from the South and
elsewhere"
Lees Meaxer Fare.
Since the new year came in Lee had
found 1t impossible to obtain more than
enough food to give his men measer
half rations. His repeated appeals to
Richmond had brought relief only at in
tervals The commissary department of
the Confederacy had broken down. The
people and spectators were boarding
the food supplies of the South. The gov
ernment had fixed the prices 1t would
pay and people with food to sell refused
TO accept them.
In the distressing situation Lee had
endeavored to secure by seizure or i'm
pressment enough food for his men. In
this he had failed.
Lee shared the hardships of his army
in the matter both of quarters and diet.
He lived under canvas on q slope Of the
mountain near Orange Courthouse: his
table was supplied with the plainest and
scantiest fare; his ordinary dinner at
this time was said to have consisted of
cabbage boiled in salt water and a pone
of corn bread"
In this connection a humorous story
of Gen. Lee went the rounds of the
press in the winter of 1s63-Si Having
invited a number of officers to dine with
him, Gen. Lee ordered his cook to fur
nish a piece of '.middling'-a certain
cut of pork-with the cabbage.
When the food came on there was a
great pile Of cabbage and a bit of mid
ding about four inches long and about
two across

Lees further correspondence In this
period shows not only the iron hand of
the master holding destitute and dis
couraged army together. but reveals In
the sufferings in that part OF Virginia Of
the people. as well as of the Confederate
troops.

Evils Of Ilconpetence.
To this Gen. Lee protested on January
IL that the power Of impressment of SUD-
piies was given to commanders in the

the commissary department was respon-
sible for feeding the army.
After quoting the law he said: 'I FORE

by q general system. under a common
control. 50 that there may be uniformity
and the burden made to fall equally upon

cealment OF stores must result from any

On January % Gen. Lee wrote JefYer-
son Davis in response to a suggestion
from the latter that Lee go to North
Carolina, where Gen. Pickett had been
operating unsuccessfully against New
bern.
Lee said ne would go to North Caro-
lina- but that he considered his pres

a struggle to keep the army fed and

The next day he wrote the Secretary
OF War: THE supply of subsistence for
the army Is a matter OF vital moment,
and is now the osiief subject of anxiety

my power to meet the wants of the
troops

food to stave of starvation. hoping that
