the utmost value Nor was he less
conspicuous in planting batteries and
in conducting columns to their sta
tions under the heavy fire of the enc
N.Y." He further says: captain Lee,
so constantly distinguished, also bore
important orders from me, until he
tainted from wound and the loss Of
two nights sleep at the batteries"
After the Mexican War he was ap-
pointed, in 1852, Superintendent of the
Military Academy at West Point, and
in 1855, Lieutenant-Col of the Sec
ond Cavalry, under Col. Albert Sidney
Johnston. In 1859 he was directed by
the President of the United States to
arrest John Brown and his followers
in their murderous invasion Of Virgin
ia, and on March 10, 1861, he was ap-
pointed Colonel in the United States
army.
When the Southern States were Sc
ceding and war seemed inevitable, up
on the recommendation of Genera
Scott, then Commander Chief, Pres
ident Lincoln offered Lee the command
of the armies of the Union. Virginia
had not yet seeded, but Lee looking
into the future and feeling assured
that his native State would upon an!
act of aggression make common caus'
with the other Southern States, de
clined the tempting offer.
In letter written April 20, 1861, h
made that never-to-be-forgotten dec
laration: with all my devotion to tn
Union and the feling of loyalty ant
duty as an American citizen, I hav
not been able to make up my min'

The South may claim with pardon
able pride that it furnished not only
the President of each Of the divided
sections in the struggle for the es-
tablishment of separate Confedera-
cv, but the great central figure OF the
Civil War for the North as well as for
the South. History will accord that
Abraham Lincoln was the one conspic-
nous figure on the side of the Union,
and for the South none will challenge
that claim for Lee. They were, more
over, representatives of the widely di-
vergent classes of our section, the
plebeian and the patrician. The
story of Lincoln might well be class
ed with
"The short and simple annals OF
the poor"
while Lee came straight from the ca
valiers and their descendants, the
wealthy cultured aristocracy OF Vlr-
ginia. "His father, Colonel Henry
Lee. better known as Light Horse
Harry" was the beau sabreu of the
American army in the War OF inde-
pendence, and it was he who proclaim
ed George Washington as First IN
war, first in peace and first IN the
hearts of his countrymen."
Upon his mothers side he claimed
the lineage of the Carriers of Shirley
Born on January 10Th, 1907, his child
hood and youth were passed in the
cultivated circles of the tidewater re-
gion of Virginia. At the age of IL he
entered West Point and completing
the course of study without a single
mark of demerit, he graduated second
in a class of forty-six. For several
years he served in the Engineer Corps,
constructing coast defenses, and for q
part of this time in charge OF the as
Economical department of the Govern
ment. In 1882 he married the daug.h-
ter of George W. Parke Custis, the
adopted son of Gen. Washington, and
later was made captain on the staff
in the Mexican War.
Of all the brilliant regulations
among the younger group OF officers
which were won IN tHdI CaillPaiSil
Lees was the most conspicuous. Up
on him the commander-in- leaned
as upon no other. At Cerro Gordo he
was brevetted major for exceptional
gallantry. At Contreras and Cheru-
busco he was officially proclaimed fol
meritorious conduct, and on account
of wound received in the assault OF
Chapultepec, September 13, 1S47, he
was given his promotion to lieutenant
colonel 1t was at Contreras, wher
the army was baffed, that the quick
eve of Lee discovered, by a daring
reconnaissance, line of approach
hidden from the enemy by which the
position might be taken. This tht

acterized as "the greatest feat of ply

A NEW THANKSGIVING
New York World


The Presidents Thanksgiving pro
elamation this year takes on an al
tered form. II not merely appoints
a day for the American people to rem
der thanks for peace and prosperity
which they enjoy but admonishes
them to give heed TO the warning
countries Of Europe from which these
blessings have been wlthheld-"to
think In deep sympathy of the peo-
pies of the world upon whom the
curse and terror of the war have so
pitilessly fallen, and to contribute out
of our abundant means TO the relief
of their sufferings. II is an appeal
for the observance of the anniversary
not as a day of self-satisfied gratitude
for our material gain but as a day of
and chacity for the suff-
erers whom the war has deprived not
only OF comfort and wealth but OF
home and kindred.
This Is a new not and a new spirit
III aliitl lNdll AhtAhha 81 - pbhNA
vance, a spirit of fellowship and bro
thcrhood and mercy II marks a
long spiritual advance from the old
idea of Thanksgiving-that I'VE hae
meat and we can eat, and so the Lord
be thankit." Much as Americans
have heard of the devastation of the
war, they have yet no adequate con-
ception of the distress and destitution
and calamity it has brought upon
once peaceful and happy lands.
To devote the day, therefore, to
taking thought of the evils visited
upon them and from which we have
happily escaped, and to make it day
Of sympathy and relief, with some of
the aspects of humility of an old New
England fast day, will be to put the
observance of Thanksgiving this year
10 its highest use. Least of all
should it be celebrated as a day of
thanks for what we have gained
through the misfortunes of other
peoples.
