THE tSKfci: UMAHA, .TUESDAY, MAKUH 26, 1918. CENTENNIAL OF GREAT CAVALRY . LEADER TODAY p 1 1 11 Light Horse Harry Lee, Intrepid Revolutionary Military, Genius, Friend of Washington, Died Hundred Years Ago. Washington, D. C, March 25 One hundred years ago today occurred the death of General Henry Lee, famous commander of the revolution, inti mate friend of Washington, and father of GeueraPRobert E. Lee, who commanded the armies of the con federate states in the civil war. Few figures in the war of the American revolution were so pictur esque as that of Henry Lee, famil iarly known as "Light Horse Harry." Born in Westmoreland county, Vir ginia.on 1756, he belonged to a family that has been conspicuous in the his tory of Virginia since the earliest days. He was a great grandson of Col. Richard Lee, a man of wealth and distinction, who sold his estate in England and came to America about 1640, as secretary of the Virginia col ony and a member of the king's privy council. Educated in New Jersey. Henry Lee received his education at the College of New Jersey, gradu ating in 1776. Prevented from visit ing Europe by the preparations for active revolution, he returned to Vir ginia and at the age of 20 began his remarkable military career by recruit ing a company of "light horse," of which he was made captain. In 1777 he joined Washington's army in Pennsylvania. It was soon discovered that though little more than a boy no man in the army had better ideas of discipline or was more successful in the enforce ment of them. He 109k the most ex cellent care of his men and horses and trained them so perfectly that he could easily surpass every other com mander in the celerity of his move ments and the rapidity and accuracy with which he could obtain informa tion of the movements of the enemy. "Lee's Legion" became a synonym for swift and daring action, and the captain's company was selected by Washington to act as the commander-in-chief's bodyguard at the battle of Getmantown. He was pro moted major for gallant conduct in battle in January, 1778, and was given command of two troops of horse and a' company cf infantry. This corps constantly hung on the flank of the British army and annoyed both their march and camp. On July A9, 1779, Lee surprised the British; troops in garrison at Paulus Nook, New York harbor, in flicting great damage, capturing 160 prisoners ana escaping with only two Tnen killed and three wounded. For this exploit he received a gold medal from congress. Less than two years later he was I promoted lieutenant colonel and marched his legion to South Carolina, where he covered the rear of General Green's army, giving occasional op portunity for Tarleton's dragoons to measure swords with- the Virginians. At every encounter Lee proved him self to be the master of Tarleton at the impetus tactics for which the Eng lish officer was distinguished. At the battle of Guilford court house his legion proved more than a match for Tarleton's dragoons. When General Greene marched against Cam den he sent Lee and Marion to cut off Rawdon's communications with the seacoast, and they captured Fort Watson, which forced Rawdon to abandon Camden. On May 25, Lee reached Augusta, Ga., which city also fell into his hands. At the close of the war Lee set tled down in his family mansion in Virginia. But in 1786 he came to congress from Virginia, subsequently served in the Virginia house of dele gates and became governor of the commonwealth in 1792. Washington had the warmest regard and the great est esteem for Lee, and when the ' whisky insurrection broke out in Pennsylvania in 1794 Lee was appoint ed commander of the army of 15,000 men thit was . formed to put down ;he disturbance. Lee was in congress in 1799, when Washington died, and was appointed by the house to deliver'the, eulogy. It was in this address that Lee gave expression to the celebrated descrip tion of Washington as "First in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen." Germans Refuse to Allow Americans Leave Finland Stockholm, March ' 25. The envoy sent by Minister Morris to General Mannerheim, the white guard leader in Finland, in an effort to make ar rangements by which the Americans " in southern Finland could get through the lines of the contending armies, has reported that General Manner heim refused to consider the request Df the allied envoys. The general offered to send an airplane to drop letters from the allied ministers into the re.d guard's territory, but flatly refused to have any parley with the ; red command to grant the requested 24 hour armistice, or even to send an officer v with a bugler to escort the allied emissaries. General Mannerheim further in formed the American, British and French envoys that the military situa tion was su.' that it might be . month before they could reach their country men in the red guard territory. The envoys returnea to Vasa from the headquarters in the Hapaamaki, and are awaiting developments there. r The protest against the arrest of Professor Henry C. Emery, an Amer ican, and of Englishmen, by the Ger mans on the Aland Islands has been delivered, but apparently it has not been answered. Nor has the minister received any answer from M. Gripen berg, the Finnish minister at Stock holm, to his protest against Professor Emery's arrest. Germans Establish Aerial v Mail Service to Russia Amsterdam, March 25.

Washington, March 25. Confirma tion of German reports that American troops have, participated in the fight on the British front has not reached the War department up to a late hour last night. Major General March, acting chief of staff, who remained at his office much of the day and night, said that no advices to this effect had been re ceived. It was recalled that American rail way engineers, in training at the British front, were involved in the German counter attack in Cambrai some months ago; but there had been nothing to indicate that nothing other than engineers have been employed at any time with the British forces. Officials generally displayed the most eager interest in every item of news as to the German drive. The government may have received some confidential advices from General Pershing on the situation, but General March said nothing was to be given out. The official British and -German re ports were taken here as showing that a second phase of the great battle had begun, and was continued throughout the day with no decisive results. It appeared that the British line in general was intact at the close of day. The announcement from Berlin that Paris had been bombarded by long range guns seemed to settle any doubt there has been as to what tran spired in the French capital yester day and today. The rarige of the new weapon 76 miles exceeds anything ever dreamed of by ordnance experts here' so far as known. Whatever the Germans may have discovered in the way of new ex plosives or new gun metal that per mits the use of heavier charges of powder without destruction of the weapon itself, it is noted with satis faction here that the first employment they have given their new war monster has resulted in no military advantage whatever. The damage in Paris from an all-day bombardment was insignificant. Left to his own choice, a citizen of Paris probably would prefer the new gun to airplane bombs. ' Captain Roosevelt Injured Recently Much Improved Paris, March 25. Captain Archi bald Roosevelt, who recently was injured, is reported today as resting very comfortable in a Red Cross hospital . near the front. He is popular with the hospital doctors and nurses and assists them in every way possible, and also daily aids in cheering up other patients. In speaking of the Red Cross work, Captain Roosevelt is reported as having said: t "I cannot say too much in apprecia tion in their efforts who make us feel as if we were back home." ; Would Fine Anyone $50 For Destroying "Fit" Food New York, March 25. Passage of an ordinance which would prohibit the wasting of any food "fat for hu man consumption" with a fine of $50 and 10 days' imprisonment was recom mended in a report made by the di rector of the bureau of food and drugs, of the department of health of the senate committee yesterday.
