Lees Last Struggle.

In these days of warfare il is inter.
esting to recall the closing scenes Of
the great struggle between the north.
ern and southern states of our coun.
| try. which were being acted on the
stage Of Virginia half century ago
II was Just 50 years ago last Tues.
day, March 20, 1918. that Robert H.
Lee played his last stragctic card in
the losing game of war. Calamity lc
had held the defcnscs of Petersburg
and Richmond. but he realized the
end was near unless by some dcspcr-
at" experiment he could break his way
through the blue line of Petersburg.
In that final expedition Of his brilliant
strategy Lee chose as his agent Gen.
John II. Gordon, the hero of eight
wounds.
In working out his scheme for en-
abling the army Of northern Virginia
to escape from Grants grasp at Pet
ersburg, Lee directed Gordon TO head
10000 men and seek TO fight his way
through the Federal lines mt Fort
Stcadman. This stronghold and its
earthworks had in the rear three other
forts. and all were protected by tang
led wires. sharpcncd rails and other
distractions. Gorion's job was to cap
turc Fort Stcadman and the forts in
its rear and thrs open way By which
the whole army could pass through the
Union lines and fall upon Grants left
wing.
II was shortly after midnight on
March 26, 1855. that the Confederate
attack on Fort Steadman commenced.

his handkerchief at the multi

Pandemonium Reigns.

Summon Department Heads.
The first step which will be taken
by congress, according to the program
agreed upon, will be the summoning
of the heads Of governmental depart
ments, who will be asked to give a
strict accounting OF the funds at their
command and the amounts that can
be saved. They viii be asked to dis
miss from service the many thou
sands Of extra clerks brought here
for war work. The enormous outlay
of $125. 000. 900 authorized by congress
for the housing OF these war workers
will be stopped. Some Of tho great
appropriations for heavy gun and
other ordnance and for environments
for the soldiers probably will be can
cefled and conditions generally
throughout the government service
will be reduced so far as possible to
their customary pre-war status.
