Robert T.. Lees amazing hold on
the affections of America is reflected
in the tributes of the press on the
recent anniversary of the birth of
that Christian soldier" of the Con-
federacy.
In fellow Virginian's explanation
of the South's loyalty to Lee may per-
haps best be found the basis for his
universal popularity:
zone reason for this devotion of his
followers" says the Richmond News
Leader, lis the absolute honesty of
Lees character. One is never de-
ceived about his nobility. One never
discovers quality that repels. .
A second reason is the unusual COM
bination of the exemplary and the
objective in his acts. There was
something in his bearing, something
in his manifest sincerity, something
In his manifest lack of all self-glori-
fication that made men not only ac-
cept moralizings from him, but cher
ish them as well. Mingled with this
quality was the deepest sense of re-
sponsibility. Still another rea-
son is the belief, not to be shaken by
the skepticism of outsiders, that he
was cast in a different mold from most
men. His soldiers believed that there
was more of divinity in him and
vastly more of genius"
1.-THE hero Of a lost cause" says the
Binghamton Press, che was never
more heroic than in defeat. And he
deserves to be honored now for those
qualities of character which outlive
the occasion that called them forth,
and which survive as an inspiration
to future generations of American
youth" The Press recalls how, when
the end came at AppomattoX, Lee
turned to the task of restoring the
ruined South, and with loyalty end
courage sought to alleviate the bit

thine has swallowed up the mighty
armies that struggled along the banks

and the James," remarks the Cham
paign News-Gazette. THE hosts that
fought at Gettysburg, at Shiloh and
at Charlottesville have marched on
into the dim mists of the past, so that
blue and gray uniforms alike are
hardly distinguishable. Yet Lee has
not been swallowed up by time. The
cannon smoke has drifted away only
larger, more majestic than ever. The
country has forgotten, gladly. that he
ever fought for a lost cause; it remem-
bers only the valor. the skill and the
shining manliness with which he
fought. He taught us that there can
be failures which shine as gloriously
as any success"
Long ago he ceased to be merely
the commander of the men in gray"
according to the New York Evening
World, "and today and tomorrow he
will be remembered as a great Ameri-
can, a perfect knight of chivalry."

He admitted also that he would
