| A MONG the early references
| II which the Rambler has found
1 \ to Capt. Henry Lee, later
known and better remembered
as Light Horse Harry Lee, is one
which says that "he soon distin-
guished himself by his thorough dis
| cipllne of his troopers as well as by
the care and attention given to their
horses and equipment" Biographers
are usually friendly and often over
friendly to their subjects. and what
they say must be accepted with eau
ton. for. if biographers are to be be-
lieved. the world has been plentifully
sprinkled with men of almost un-
thinkable ability and with quite a
bunch of supermen thrown in for
good measure.
But let us accept the statement that
Capt. Henry Lee was what might be
called disciplinarian. That may
mean much or little. Some disciple
narians are those whom their men
want to shoot, and perhaps many dis
ciplinarians of that class have
been shot by their own men during
the excitement of action. Some
disciplinarians are men who COM
mand troops by reason of the moral
and mental qualities that are indis-
pensable to real and effective leader
ship. To some men discipline means
that troops shall move like automa-
toms and accurately form geometric
figures on the parade ground, some
thing after the way well trained
| chorus does on the stage; that the
| men shall stand at attention with all
| the stiffness with which wooden

Lutte, port arms, present arms and
say, "Sir, 1 have the permission of

mechanical devices.
