HIS MAGNANIMITY.
Editor Virginian:

Editor Virginian:
Sir,-The two occasions of General
Lees greatest detection and greatest
elation were his defeat at Gettysburg
and his victory at Charlottesville.
Those were the occasions also Of his
greatest display of magnanimity.
After the repulse of Picketts charge
at Gettysburg. he was in a state of the
great agitation and consciousness. He
was afraid that Hancock would fol-
low up Pickett's repulse by leading
his division down from the heights
and falling upon Lees disorganized
and demoralized army. He rode
among the demoralized men. exclaim-
ing: This is all my fault. We will
talk this over at another time; now
is the time for every man to stand
firm and begging every man who
had no musket to pick up an abandon
ed musket and help resist Hancock's
expected assault, and repeating: 1T
is all my fault" Was there ever a
greater display of magnanimity"
After Jacksons defeat of Hooker's
right at Charlottesville, May 2, 1863,
Lee the next morning led two di-
visions of Longstreet's corps upon the
field and drove Hooker from his en-
trenched position in pell-meil panic
from the field, and across the Rap
pahannock Az he was preparing to
pursue the fugative enemy he re-
ceived O note from Jackson. saying
that his left arm had been shattered
in the fight the evening before. Re-
questing his chef of staff. Colonel
Charles Marshall to answer the note
he dictated to him the following:
II have your note stating that your
left arm is shattered. If / could have
20 70 n
have preferred for the good of the
service to have been disabled instead
OF you. My loss is greater than yours.
You have lost your left arm; l have
lost my right The credit of the VIC
tory Is due to YOU"
Was there ever such magnanimity :?
Colonel Marshall says that as he
wrote down the words dictated by Lee
his admiration for the genius that
achieved the victory was lost In rev.
erance for the magnanimity that ac-
cord the credit of II to Another.
Marshal Ney, ..the breayest of the
brave" was Bonapart's greatest lieu
tenant, AS Jackson was Lees.
In the two thousand years since
the death of Julius Caesar the two
greatest military chieftains the world
has produced have been Napoleon
Bonaparte and Robert f. Lee. The
two greatest lientenaBts in that long
period have been Marshall Ney and
StonewaH Jackson.
The iliustrious dead have been COM
pared TO the stars OF heaven that re-
fleet themselves in the bosom of the
ocean, and / believe that since the
dawn Of creation the great ocean or
humanity has not reflected more
glorious orb than that which glitters

WHAT GERMANY FAILS TO
UNDERSTAND.

AS we gather II, Germany would
never make much of debater. when
1t Is necessary to talk about the same
thing the other fellow is discussing.
Otherwise she will be a bowling sue
cess. AS matter OF fact, we do not
care especially to debate with Ger
many or TO have any dealings with
her that she does not force on us.
BY the sinking Of the Lusitania and
similar outrages she has forced our
attention to her. and. as we gather
it. she will now receive our full and
undivided interest.
There is, as we remarked yesterday,
nothing new to discuss in the Ger
man note; we covered all the points
she makes in our first speech. The
only possible courses. from our view
point, any nation could have adopted
when a note such as that President
Wilson dispatched was received were
TO meet the conditions laid down or
to refuse them point-blank. Germany
refuses them by indirection.
The more we consider the German
letter. especially the statement, THE
imperial government holds the facts
recited to be OF sufficient importance
10 recommend them to careful exam
Iuattop h,- cha Apoar{can 1oyarppaepf ~
the more we are convinced Of the
amazing effrontery of the thing. The
attitude of benevolent instruction that
is assumed. very much as If we were
a parcel OF school boys being sent
back to study a poorly done lesson, II
it is characteristic of all German d.
piomacy. explains why so few nations
can accept the peculiar German brand
OF international relationships.
The most interesting question now
is what this government will do.
Whatever II Is will be done promptly;
there will be no three weeks delay.
We shall not be greatly surprised If
the reply OF the President demands,
in case 1t permits of any further de-
bate at all, an immediate stoppage
Of the submarine campaign against
merchant vessels; and, in the second
place. by setting forth a prompt dis
agreement with the German state
ment of facts to require compliance
with or denial OF our original de-
mands.
This liz not time for evasion, and
the President Is not a man to evade

PAT POWERS LIKELY
TO OBTAIN NEWFEDS
Sinclair Said to Be Planning to
Drop Dead One" and Take
Over Gotham Club.

NEW YORK, Dec. Sit was report
ed In baseball circles today that ar
rangements were under way whereby
the franchise OF the Newark Federal
League club would be transferred
from Harry Sinclair to Pat Powers
and a syndicate Of Newark business
men. Powers is already q part own
err of the Newark club and the buying
out Of the Sinclair interests is taken
to be a part OF the plan whereby the
Western oil man Is to assume the
ownership of the New York Federal
League club.
In dispatches from Chicago, Sinclair
said that he was the hacker of the
club on Manhattan Island. The Fed
eral League, through James A. Gil
more, says that II Is not ready to
announce the ownership. but that at
the present time Sinclair IL not the
owner. About a month ago Gilmore
said that he would not approve of one
man owning two clubs and the post
ponement In the announcement of
the hacker OF the New York Federals
Is by many considered to be due to
the fact that as yet Sinclair, the onl y
obstacle in the path of his assuming
ownership of the New York club, is
held to be q happy solution OF the
difficulty.
Sinclair Is now in Chicago and will
not return to this city until Tuesday.
Pat Powers could not be reached last
night, so that there might be a con-
flrmation OF the rumor of a probable
change in the Newark ownership.
