Better Soldier Than Statesman.

One hundred years ago ON the forty.
NTH anniversary of his birth. Lord
Wellington was rewarded with the
title OF duke In recognition OF his
C In the Peninsula campaign
against the French. Al the same time
the house OF m voted 81. 000,.
600 for the support OF his new dignity.
Within a little more than a year the
famous soldier was destined to win the
great victory at Waterloo and to be
made the commander.in-chief OF the
British forces. Later In life the duke
OF Wellington became British prime
minister, but the strong personal quail.
ties that had helped him To success
as Il soldier were not the qualities that
best beftted for the premiership, and
the career OF the duke as Il statesman
added little TO his fame.
