LAST INTERVIEW WITH LAST
GREAT CIVIL WAR GENERAL

One bright morning a few
weeks ago an old man stamped
with the unmistakable record Of
a full life and great deeds sat in
a deep armchair high up in a
New York apartment house
while a warm winter sun poured
in upon him and there thought
aloud on epic days in a nations
life in which he had borne a part.
Even then the finger of death
touched him. But recently had
this man of "a years twice with
out a whimper Frustrated him
self to the surgeons knife with
out anesthesia-much in the
same spirit, no doubt, as in one
of the mighty concluding acts Of
the drama of the civil war he
with eleven regiments had met,
fought to a finish, and repulsed
an entire seasoned army corps,
or later with a depleted corps of
his own pushed back a complete
army.
But there he sat musing in the
sunshine, tolerant, grimly kind,
with tremulous attenuated hands
throwing his marvellously clear
mind back into the past, tooling
out this or that detail with infn-
tie color and precision and spirit;
speaking now of the glory and
horror-but mostly of the hor-
ror-of war, then returning to
the problems of to-day, the dan
ger to his country of letting the
rust grow on the sword, the

stores reported increases of 1912
to 21A per cent in sales of the
previous month over the same
month last year.
Three points were covered by
the survey: These were: l.
The record of actual sales for
last month compared with a
year ago; 2-The record of coll
.lections in comparison with the
amounts sold on credit and the
amount usually collected; g.
The prospects for future bust
ness.
With the exception of one
store, every manager reported
expectations of a better trade in
1916 than he had last year.
Optimism speaks well for bust
ness prospects, Mr.. Powell
thinks.
Advertising by firms was heav-
Ter, the survey showed. Almost
every manager was spending
more for advertising than the
usual layout and expected even
to increase that amount. Retail
advertising, Mr.. Powell says, is
a good barometer Of trade.
Columbia, says Mr.. Powell, is a
representative Missouri city.
Business there is governed large
Ily by conditions Of business over
the state. Much of the trade
comes from the $500 students
at the University of Missouri
and at the two girls college
there.
1t is probable, he says, that if
a similar survey of any Mis-
souri, town will not show an in
crease in business similar to
that shown in the survey of Co
lumbia, the different results can
be explained by some special To-
cal condition.

that has its side, but just the
same we have no business going
down into a Latin country and
trying to regulate people on
their morals"
Gen. Dodge fought almost I'M
ceasingly from one end of the
war touthe other. In his nodes
tly written report to the Secre-
tary of War of his assignments
ito duty there appears, after
three closely printed book pages,
in themselves a saga, enumerat-
ing the engagements in which he
participated, this paragraph:
Il have been on active duty
ever since l entered the service
and never absent from command
except when wounded or sick,
and then not beyond my district
or department, except when sent
North in August, 1868. l have
never been relieved from any
command except to assume an
other. l have been severely
wounded three times and in the
line of duty"
AS early as November, 1862,
Grant gave Dodge the very inn
portant command of Corinth.
The post required not merely
the skill of the soldier but the
combined capacities Of engineer,
Judge, railroad manager and
chief Of corps Of observation.
Dodge built all the railroads
needed in his department, met
and defeated the constant raid
ing parties, practically put an
end to guerrilla warfare, and
once, in a raiding party of his
own, destroyed twenty million
dollars worth of supplies eager
ly awaited by Bragg's forces.
Before this he had command
ed on the right at the battle Of
Pea Ridge, having three horses
killed and a fourth wounded un-
der him, being severly wounded
himself, and unquestionably saw
ing Curtis's army from disaster.
The nature of the fighting may
be shown by the fact that every
field officer in his brigade was
badly wounded. 1t was after his
recovery that he performed the
famous task Of rebuilding the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad thru
a long stretch of the enemy's
country, where every mile of con-
struction had to be fought for.
But that line of road was abso-
lutely vital to Grant as his way
back to his provisions, and Dodge
! was the man for the job. Before
: his associates in high place
! thought it possible, Dodge had
trains running from Columbus tc
] Corinth.
r Gen. Grant himself, in his
E Memoirs" has told of how
! Dodge in forty days built a rail.
Dad 1O2 miles long, with bridg.
r es and ~trestles, over deep chasm:
and swift rivers. Grant had Il
d have the road, running from De
catur to Nashville, lest his troops
should starve. Never before haC
e the world witnessed such rapiC
work in railroad building under
b such circumstances. Gen. Dodg,
throughout his incessant fight
ing touched every high point o.
r successful warfare. There is NJ
/ space here to tell of how he de
k feated Gen. Van Dorm at Tus
cumbia, of how he whipped Fol
rest and Roddy at Town Greek
