LMJ
KN of '17 ami '7! Thi mon of 11 1
liuvo iiialntalnod tin lepioy loft by
tliu ini'ii of 1770, and liavu pnld the
debt Incurred. Tliu odd coincidence
in numbers stanil.s as the symbol of
u real bond.
Wa.sbliiKton borrowed of France the
men and tliu money that hiived the day for the
freedom of the cohmleH. Wilson sent bade to
France the men and the money that saved the day
for tin freedom of the nations. Wo repaid La
fayette with Pershing.
There Is a universal eagerness to build a fitting
memorial to the heroes of the war of wars. Monu
ments will spring up all over the United States to
Individual men, olllcers and organizations. .IJut
there Is an Insistent demand for one great natioual
memorial.
The only place for It Is, of course, the onpltnl of
the country, and Washington lias been and will be
In a large sense the capital of the world.
No memorial will be appropriate which has not
a lasting value and a dignity of usefulness as well
as beauty nnd splendor. No statue or group of
statues could be reared which would express what
this memorial must express. No column of melted
cannon, though It were made of steel barrels a mile
high, would convey the message. An Imperial arch
would Imply nothing more than a gateway for con
ipiciors and would act simply -us an obstruction
to tra'llle.
The right memorial must be a temple, a temple
of architectural grandeur, u museum for statues,
busts, tablets, archives and Interesting relics, a
place of dally resort, and a meeting place for
national gatherings.
It Is an amazing fact that Washington the sent
of our national government, the center of world
activity, the mecca of congresses has no large and
dlu'iiltled meeting place, no convention hall of any
dimensions.
The memorial described will therefore meet a
pressing need.
What Ideal should this memorial most vividly
express? Of what religion should the temple bo?
Surely, the religion of freedom, of democracy, of
equality.' and of opportunity.
It should express the triumph of the Idenls of
Washington and the founders of this Itepubllc as
those Ideals have spread through the world and
united In the recent bloody victory over tho spirit
of autocracy.
Ily strango good fortune these Ideals can be Im
mediately realized. Construction can begin at once.
Since tieorgo Washington would accept no money
for his services to the nation (wo gifts wore voted
to him, one consisting of n sum In cash, which ho
disposed of as an endowment to the university
now known ns Washington and Lee; tho other a
number of stock cortttlcates valued then at $25,000.
The latter amount he set nsldo In his will to ho
used as a- cumulative fund for tho diffusion of
knowledge. In the vicissitudes of time the stock
ho bequeathed lost its valuo and the dying wish of
the father of Ids country seemed likely to remain
forever unluWHled.
Recently n movement was pot on foot to fulfill
tho wish. The Oeorgo Washington Memorial asso
elation was formed and various projects were ad
vanced, among them the foundation of a university.
Hut tho country had now fully blossomed with
universities, every state having Its own. Mrs,
Henry l LMmoclr, sister of William C. Whitney,
who as secretary of the navy won tho title of
"Father of tho Now Amerlcnn Navy." was elected
president of tho association.
With characteristic energy, Mrs. Dlmock has set
nbout the accomplishment of the Ideal. A national
committee, Including eminent men am) women from
nil sections of tho country, has been formed and
nearly half n million dollars already collected, In
addition to a still larger amount pledged.
Tho association has procured from congress the
grant of an Meal tract of land which was formerly
occupied by the Pennsylvania station, and at pros,
out covered in part by temporary building of tho
war department. This Is almost the only desirable
Blto remaining unoccupied In Washington.
A competition In designs for tho building wns
onrtldpnted In by $ tfoe ti the foremost Amor-
lean architects. Tho committee of nward selected
from these a plan of such Impressive beauty us to'
silence, criticism.
This majestic structure will bo spacious enough
to house a multitude. The main auditorium occu
pies a lloor space of 8,.r0() square feet, with a gal
lery of 10,000 square feet, giving a seating capacity
of 7,000 persons; It will furnish room for Inaugural
receptions, natioual and International conventions
nnd conferences, orchestral concerts and celebra
tions. Several small halls are grouped about It to
accommodate meetings of smaller bodies military,
patriotic, scientific, educational, and similar con
ventions. On tin second lloor Is n banquet hnll wun serv
ing rooms, seating 000 people. Here nlso are rooms
set apart as tlie.permanent natioual headquarters
of societies of veterans, of reserve olllcers and
other patriotic societies. The third and fourth
tloors are planned to accoinmodato a museum nnd
library for the care of precious relics, souvenirs,
historical documents and the personal histories of
our soldiers. A spacious chamber has been set
apart for the exclusive use of each sovereign state
of the Union and our outlying possessions.
Tho plans have received the Indorsement of the
highest authorities. President Wilson writes:
My Dear Mrs. Dlmock: I have noted with
genuine interest the plans of the George Wash- "
lugton Memorial association for a memorial to
the boys of 11)17 as well as those of '70. No
one could withhold approval from such plans.
They undoubtedly express what the heart of
tho whole country npproves. Cordially and
sincerely yours,
WOODItOW WILSON.
Committees of prominent men and women rep
resenting patriotic societies aro collaborating.
Collective and Individual subscriptions In largo and
small amounts aro being received. Kvory child
wiw contributes ten cents receives a button carry,
lug the legend: "This pin means a brick In tho
memorial building." The name of each donor will
be entered on the records.
Such a building Is very much needed, and If
erected would contrlbuto very materially toward
tho process of conference, consultation, discussion,
awakening of public Interest and conscience, recon
ciliation of views, recognition of abuses tho
process through which a great self-governing poo
plo works out Its problems and reaches Its results.
No better tribute to the memory of Washington,
who led tljo men of '70, and to our boys of '17,'
who maintained tho freedom which ho established',
could be devised than such a national memorial.
Tho number of associations and organizations, per
uinnont and occasional, which seeks to bring poo
pie together for worthy objects In this country Is
enormous.
One of tho most urgent needs Is a suitable meet
ing placo for uatlonnl and International societies
anil conventions In Washington, Under existing
conditions wo are JustKled In Inviting largo socle
ties and congresses, especially those of an Interna
tional character, to meet In this country; for the
natural placo Is Washington.
The control and administration of this building,
when erected, will be the board of regents of tho
Smithsonian Institution, of which the president of
tho United States Is the presiding olllcer, ex-olllclo,
and the chief Justlco tho chancellor.
Such a building will aid In advancing the cause
of education, patriotism, science and the arts, as
well as proNldlng a lasting evidence of our loyal
devotion to the memory of our boys who emulated
tho example and noble character of our greatest
commander and tlrst president.
