Return to Private Life

During those distressing years Lee, who
had lost his family home at Arlington, earned
a slender salary as president Of Washington
College, now Washington and Lee University,
at Lexington in Virginia. By his high scholar
ship and able administrator he soon raised
the poorly endowed college to the highest
academic standard in the South. His son,
Custis, taught mathematics at the ~neighbor-
ing Virginia Military Institute, thus fitting
himself to succeed his father as president Of
the Washington and Lee University.

Lees Place in History

Robert E. Lee died in harness in 1870, uni
versally esteemed and admired. His tomb is
at Lexington, Virginia. His best epitaph is
the abiding affection borne him by the people
of the South. Elsewhere his fame is imperish-
able. Among his contemporaries Lord VOL
sey, who saw Lee in the field, wrote Of him
"He was the ablest general of the American
Civil War and the greatest man | ever met.
The German Fieldmarshal Won Moltke, on the
news of the Confederate chieftain's death,
told General Sheridan he considered Lee the
greatest general America had produced.
Theodore Roosevelt in his "Life Of Gou-
verneur Norris wrote: "Lee will rank as
the greatest of all the Captains our English
speaking peoples have brough forth" Lastly
Major General Sir Frederick Maurice, the
British military historian, in his recent book,
"Robert b. Lee, the Soldier" wrote: IT be-
lieve that Lees reputation as a general, high
as it was before our day, will be enhanced
by a review of his achievements in the light
Of our recent knowledge Of war"

I'VE Are All of One Country"

In the Greenbier Hotel at White Sulphur
Springs in West Virginia the following
Renaissance Of General Lee in his declining
years was heard by Lieutenant General Boet-
ticher, a German military observer interned
there while awaiting diplomatic exchange, as
related by Percical Renters:
The hotel dining room was crowded one
summer evening in 1867 when a tall, gray
bearded gentleman, bearing himself like a
soldier, entered the room. He was instantly
recognized as General Lee. By a spontaneous
movement all who knew him rose to their feet.
A group OF strangers, among whom was
Andrew Gregg Curtin, former war governor
of Pennsylvania, remained seated. The South
erners in the room stared at the stranger
with resentment.
"Have any of you met those gentlemen?''
asked General Lee Of some ladies, to whose
table he was invited. None had met the
strangers.
"They should be made welcome'', remarked
the General. shall speak to them, and shall
be glad to present any of you, who will ac-
company me. No one stirred. Finally Miss
Christiana Bond said hesitantly: 81 will go
with you, General"
So they went together and General Lee in
troduced himself and presented the lady,
bidding the strangers welcome. Soon they
were on good terms.
When the General escorted the young lady
back to her table, she put this question to
him: "Have you no resentment to the Yam
kees?"
General Lee replied earnestly: "Believe
me, as if [ were speaking in the presence of
God, | have never known one moment Of
bitterness or resentment against the North.
We are all Of one cOuntry.v

with all that good teamwork i'm
plies. 1t is in consideration of this
sort that we find the answer to our
impatience when there is no news
from this or that area OF the world.
Our teams are warming up and run
ming through their signals. They
would have very little chance If they
didn't.
And this is especially true of any
offensive operations which we may
undertake in the Pacific requiring
the smoothly efficient cooperation,
as parts of single machine, of war
ships of every type, of flying boats,
carrier-based aircraft, catapulted
aircraft and shore-based aircraft,
transports, supply vessels, and the
troops themselves, with the COM
bined use to the fullest effect of
bombs, guns, torpedoes, mines and
depth charges in the beginning, to
be co-ordinated after the troops are
ashore with their use of rifles, ma
chine guns, mortars, field artillery,
tanks and all the rest of the compli-
Gated armory of modern warfare.
There is no more difficult task in
war than the planning and carrying
out of an amphibious expedition. Let
us thank our stars that teamwork
comes naturally to the youth of
America.

to that which the enemy can bring
against it. The ships must likewise
be protected by fighter planes
against air attack
If the operation is outside the
radius of action of our own fighters
operating from land bases, carrier
borne fighters must be used to give
initial protection; but, if possible,
the first thing to be done is to seize
and make ready suitable position
for land fighter base within reach
OF the main objective. This was the
first care of the Japanese in their
attacks on Luzon and Malaga.
Teamwork Key to Success.
Carrier-born fighters cannot be
considered the technical equals of
land-based fighters of the latest de-
sign, but their use cannot be sum-
marily dismissed on that account.
War is not a matter of blacks and
whites, but of an infinite variety
of intermediate shadings. Carrier
borne fighters can be very effective
when superior in numbers, or when
complete surprise is effected, and
in any case can do heavy execu-
ton against shore-based bombers.
Conditions of weather, visibility,
endurance, the respective physical
and moral state of the crews, supply
any many other factors may pro-
foundly affect the result. But one
thing is clear-any operation of
amphibious warfare, involving the
movement of tropos by sea and a
landing on a defended coast, is a
matter demanding infinite care,
thorough planning and preparation
and the utmost dash and boldness
in execution.
In a word, it demands teamwork,

VICHY, July 1.-The Germans
have resumed the repatriation of
French wounded and war prisoners,

At the same time it was disclosed

Induced

BY WILLIAM NEAL

! WASHINGTON, Jan, 16.-Sena-

pulsory savings" policy, which is
backed by some American econ
omistS.
The George plan, in brief, would
allow both individuals and corpora
tions to defer part of their income
tax until after the war, providing
they purchase non-interest bearing
defense bonds.
By this method, he believes, bill
lions of bonds could be sold to
corporations and individuals, thus
avoiding bank financing, which is
regarded by some as an initiation
ary threat.
HOW PLAN WOULD WORK
The George plan would work
this way. A man having a $4,000
net income might be allowed TO
invest $1,000 in non-intereSt bear
ing bonds, deduct this. and pay
current income tax on IS. 900
When the bonds are redeemed
after the war he would pay taxes.

maximum capital gains tax.

ing considered include:

chaser obtaining a stamp re-
deemable at 80 per cent face

edited a daily newspaper owned
and controlled by organized labor
and served as a reporter on one

These qualifications consist in
my judgment of, first the news of

an editorial page that is intelligent
and fearless to champion the cause
of its people, some outside news
of labor doings that are of gen.
