Daughters and Children of
Confederacy Observe
10th Anniversary.

Robert Z. Lee, statesman, soldier and
Southern gentleman, was honored on
the 120th anniversary of his birth
yesterday, when the United Daugh
tiers of the Confederacy and the Chill.
dren of the Confederacy held memorial
services in Statuary Hall of the
Capitol, where. they placed large
wreath at the foot of Lees statue.
The Confederate general was eu-
logized by Representative Clifton A.
woodrum of Roanoke, Va, who de-
clared that Lee is thought of today
mot so much as great military
leader, but more as a great man
whose high ideals and whose sacred
conception of public duty may we'll
be held as an example before the
eyes of the coming American citi-
zens."
Character Inspiring.
.f"Wherever real manhood is valued,
dauntless courage is esteemed, stain
less virtue is priced, and self-abnega-
ton is honored, the name of Robert
E. Lee will be cherished, inspiring
American citizens to higher and
nobler deeds" said Representative
Woodrum.
Declaring that it is appropriate to
pause WnlIe IN memory OF Lee,
Representative Woodrum declared:
THE time is not opportune to re-
count the valient deeds of this hero
upon the fields of battle. No good
purpose could be served by enumerat-
ing the causes which led Robert E.
Lee into the service of the Southern
States as comander-in-chief of their
forces. The stirring scenes at Getyts-
burg. Charlottesville, of the Wilder
ness and Spottsylvania Court House
are familiar epochs in the history of
that great conflict.
But the passing of the years has
obliterated much of the intense feel
ing and the bitterness engendered
upon those fields of strife
Places Wreath at Statue.
The speaker declared that it is
with satisfaction and happiness that
to-day we can all meet around this
memorial and uncover our heads in
grateful recognition of the spotless
character, the unchallenged courage
and the deep sincerity of this great
American"
