WATSON COMES OUT VICTOR AT EWTORSTDINNER Robinson Is Included in Triumph After World Court Vote. Senator James E. Watson soothed fears of Indiana Republican Editorial Association members at their annual dinner at the Columbia Club Friday night and emerged victor at the close of the two-day gathering. Included In the triumph was Senator Arthur R. Robinson, who, with Watson, alarmed for a time rockbound Republicans by voting against President Coolldge’s world court proposal. The Watson-Robinson maneuver from pro to con on the world court destroyed an Issue with which Albert J. Beveridge might have stumped the State and possibly have defeated .Watson for renomination. Prolonged applause Friday night that greeted Watson’s defense’of the switch was indicative the Indiana Senators had succeeded. Watson disavowed antagonism to President Coolidgo an# predicted his renomination in 1928. He harped considerably on George Washington’s celebrated statement concerning foreign entanglements and won prolonged applause as he^said: “I'll never vote to iend another boy across the ocean.” Speakers indicated fear of a farmers’ revolt against the G. O. P. by dwelling considerably on what they said were beneficial effects of a high tariff to the tillers of the soil.

ARSK ROBERT,” as the |jVnj great military leader of the lilj Confederacy was affectionately called by the pfeople of the South,, died a few years after the close of the Civil War. lie knew, the day" would come when Blue and Gray would cjlasp hands above ail those graves. Could he have lived until the. centenary of his own birth. Jan. 19, 1907, he would have heard his eulogy pronounced by a Massachusetts Adams. He would have seen all parties and a national V>ress united to do honor, not only to his genius as one of America’s greatest soldiers, but also to the nobility of his character. Robert Edward Lee was born a.t Stratford, Westmoreland County, Virginia, but the family soon- removed to Alexandria, on tho Potomac, near Washington. Ills father was “Light Horse Harry” Lee ofItevolutionary fame, anti his grandfather was first cousin to Richard Henry Lee, moyer of the Declaration of Independence. Patriotism was a tradition of the family. So ft was natural that Robert should be educated for the army. He was graduated from West Point in 1829, the second rank in his class, without having received a single demerit. He was assigned to the engineering branch of the service. Good Fortune At 25 he married Mary C.ustis, great-granddaughter of Martha Washington and heiress of the beautiful estate of Arlington, on the Potomac opposite Washington City. Fortune seemed to have marked him for its own. To birth, wealth, a cultivated mind, courtly manners, a fine physique and handsome face, were added personal happiness and eminence in his profession. An assistant engineer of the army in the Mexican War he won distinction: as superintendent of West Point in the 50s he introduced the best methods known in Europe. On the eve of the Ciyil War he had only the rank of a colonel, but Gen. Winfield Scott, head of the national forces, was too old to take the field, and.he looked upon Lee as his most probable successor. In 1852, in entering his own son at West Point, Lee said to him: “Duty is the sublimest word in the language; you can not do more than your duty; you should never wish to do lees.” In April, 1861, the question of duty confronted Lee himself, when President Lincoln definitely offered him the command of the United States forces. North and South From the very beginning of the United States Government the question of the rival claims of the States and the Union was a matter of debate. The South had generally advocated the principle of State sovereignty. Lee had already written, “I cannot anticipate a. greater calamity for the country than the dissolution of the Union.” But he was a southerner, and he felt that his first duty was to Virginia. In thp same crisis Admiral Farragut decided for the Federal Government. In remembering Lee’s decision, it must be remembered that his interest lay with the Government, and there is reason to believe that he knew even then that the Union must triumph, so that he consciously led a' “lost cause” from the beginning. Beautiful Arlington, his wife’s birthplace, his own home for thirty years, and his children’s ancestral inheritance, was lost immediately. It lay on the natural line of defense of the capital and became the first camping ground of the northern army. His fortune was lost when he resigned his commission offered his service to the South. He was made one of the five tulf Generals in the Confederate service. In tlte spring of 1862 be was placed in com nand of the armies operating in defense of Richmond. The masterly strategy which Lee displayed In the “Seven Days’ Battles” showed him to be a commander of the highest ability. The same may be said of his movements in opposition to General Pope emboldened him to attempt an invasion of Maryland in the fall of 1862. This

In December he decisively defeated General Burnside at .Fredericksburg and the next May he defeated and drove back General Hooker in the Battle of Chancellorsville. Battle of Gettysburg Lee then gathered together all his available forces and again moved northward, his campaign ending with the battle of Gettysburg, which took place on the first three days of July, 1863. On the first two days of this-battle the advantage seemed to rest with Lee’s army, but on the third day he staked the issue in a grand charge, which was completely repulsed, and he was compelled to retreat. He succeeded, however, In recrossing the Potomac, and was again safe in Virginia. No operations of importance were undertaken by either army during the winter of 1863-64; but early in May, 1864, General Grant was called to Washington, and took the field against Lee’s army In person. Grant attempted to turn Lee's right flank by a march through the densely wooded region known as the wilderness. Here occurred two days’ bloody hut Indecisive fighting, after which Grant again sought to turn Lee’s flank by marching to Spottsylvania Courthouse. At this place on the twelfth of May there was another bloody and Indecisive engagement. The two commanders continued to maneuver for some weeks without coming to a general engagement and without any result, save that Lee was gradually forced back toward Richmond. Leo Surrenders . In the spring of 1865 General Lee was compelled to abandon both Petersburg and Richmond. He was still hotly pursued by Grant, and a few days later at Appomattox Court liis entire force surrendered, and the war camo to an end. Leo might have prolonged the struggle indefinitely by breaking up his army into guerrilla bands and scattering them among the mountains, but this he refused to do. There are few in-
