L0CAL SOGETIES INTRIBUTE TOLEE hauahters and Children of Confederacy Observe 120th Anniversary. Robert E. Lee, statesman, soldier and Bouthern gentleman, was honored on the 120th ahniversary of his birth, yesterday, when the United Daugh- ters of the Confederacy and the Chil- dren of the Confederacy held memorial services in _Statuary Hall of the ‘Capitol, where, they placed a large wreath at the foot of Lee's statue. The Confederate general was eu- logized by Representative Clifton A. Woodrum of Roanoke, Va., who de- clared that Lee is thought of today “not so much as a great military Jeader, but more as a great man whose high ideals and whose sacred conception of public duty may well be held as an example before the eyes of the coming American citi- ‘zens.” # Character Inspiring. { “Wherever real manhood is valued, ‘p\mtleu courage is esteemed, stain- virtue is prized, and self-abnega- fon is honored, the name of Robert E. Lee will be cherished, inspiring American citizens to higher and nobler deeds,” said Represeftative ‘Woodrum. Declaring that it is appropriate to pause a while in memory of Lee, Representative Woodrum declared: “The time is not opportune to re- count the vallent deeds of this hero upon the flelds 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, Chancellorsville, of the Wilder- mess 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.” i Places Wreath at Statue. The speaker declared that it is with satisfaction and happiness that “today we can all meet around this memorial and uncover our heads in grateful recognition of the spotless character, the unchallenged courage &nd the deep sincerity of this great American.” Following “Representative ‘Vood rum’s adress, Mrs. Alblon W. Tuck, president of the District of Columbia , Division, United Daugliters of the Confederacy, presented a large wreath to little Miss Frances Phillips, presi- dent of the Mildred Lee Chapter of the Children of the Confederacy, who laid it at the feet of the statue of Robert E. Lee. Mrs. Leonard Chambers, director of the Children of the Confederacy, presided. ASKS RETIREMENT PROBE Dale Resolution Provides for Com- b mission of Nine.
