Great Names Worthily Borne

Somebody of an inquiring mentality and a good stock of patience has been examining the personnel of the United States army and makes the interesting discovery that whereas there was only one George Washington in the army of 1776 there were seventy-four George Washingtons in the army of 1917-1918. Two Ulysses S. Grants and five Ulysses Grants took the field against Prussianism; and with them marched seventynine Robert E. Lees, an impressive tribute, by the way, to the enduring quality of the affection and admiration that the great southern general inspired.
