A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

My attention has been called to a remarkable story published in the New York Journal of Oct. 4, in which is set forth at considerable length, the sorrows of one Lieut. C. E. Lang, of the U. S. A rmy. The tale may be told in less than a dozen lines: While a cadet at West Point, Lang became engaged to the beautiful and accomplished daughter of Commissary Sergeant Kenkel. The Superintendent sent for him and advised him to break off the match, because the young lady was not the social equal of such a Grand Panjandrum as a petty commissioned officer in Uncle Sam sarmy. Lang cared nothing for the inferior position held by his fiancees father he was not marrying the old man. Then followed systematic persecution by the Superintendent, who seems to have considered that Uncle Sam was paying him a fat salary to act as arbiter elegantarium and preserve the altitudinous social status of the service. On graduation day Lang married the girl, and has since been ostentatiously ostracised by his brother officers and discriminated against by the war department. I do not know whether the story be true. The New York press is nothing if not a sensation monger. It can build mountains out of molehills and lie ad libitum without the slightest compunction of conscience. Still, it is not impossible for it to occasionally tell the truth, or at least make a reasonable effort in that direction. Lieut. Lang has, throughout, declined to discuss the matter. He is evidently not posing as a martyr or making a bid for notoriety.
