orial are the work of Jules typlty in allegory the evident In the life,of the great President. The two decorations, representing Migandipation and Reunfon, are on canvas, each plece of which welighs 600, ., s Wnd cost $400. About 300 pounds of paint were used. Each canvas I3 .m; fect long and twelve feet wide, 'he figures are eight and a halt feet high. The decora- tions were painted cn“r-l{_ by the artist without assistance. There are forty-elght figures In the twq panels. Almost many models as figures were used. The head of Mr, Bacon, the architeot, appears in the decora. tion on the north wall, the fourth figure in the group at the left of the angel. \ The decorations are absolutely weather-proof, the paint being mixXed with white wax and kerosene. The wax hardens, but dges not allow the aint to crack. CheMically, it Is sim- lar to the wax found In the tombs of the kings of Egypt, which is still pliable. Tae decorations are affixed to the wall with a mixture of white lead and Venetlan varnish. Emancipation Decoration. In general terms, the decoratlon on the south wall represents the Bman- cipation of a race; the subordinate groups represent Clvilization and Progress. The decoration on the north wall represents Reunfon and Progsess in the arts and sclences. The artist's interpretation of these mural paintings is as follows: The decorations In the Lincoln Memorial typify in_ allegory the rinciples evident in the life of Abra- Bam Lincoln. There are six groups in a grove, each group having for a background cypress trees, the em- blem of Eternity: The decoration above the Gettys- burg address typifies, in the central group, Freedom and Liberty he Angel of Truth ia giving Freedom and Liberty to the slave. The shackles of bondage are falling from the arms and feet. They are guarded by two sibyls. The left group represents Justice and Law. The central figure in the Chair of the Law has the sword of Justice in one hand; with the other she holds the Scroll of the Law. Seated at her feet are two sibyls in- terpreting the Law. The standing figures on each side are the Guar- dians of the Law, holding the torches of Intelligence. The right group represents Immor- tality. The central figure is being crowned with the laurel wreath of Immortall The standing figures are Faith, Hope and Charity.

By the Associated Press. The Chilean and Peruvian delegates to the Washington conference inter- rupted their negotiations today to join with the government and people of the United States in paying tribute to those who have served the nation in_war. Memorial day was observed as a holiday not only by the conference itself, but by headquarters of both delegations, where work was sus- pended. Both the Chilean and Peru- vian slenipotentiaries accepted invi- tations fe attend the dedication exer- cises at/the Lincoln Memorial, where President Harding and Chief Justice .Taft were the principal speakers. Meantime there were no indications of what Chile’s reply might be to the Peruvian proposal to arbitrate the question of the sovereignty of Tacna- Arica. The Chilean delegation was understood to be in further com- munication with Santiago, and it was predicted generally that definite de Velopments might be expected wher the delegations resume their joint sessions tomorrow SPECIAL NOTICES.

Mrs. Logan Speaks. A shaded grove in the Soldlers’ Home cemetery today became an out- door temple, where comrades and relatives of the men of 1861 pald tribute to the sodldiers of the Unlon who fell defending the nation, in the annual Momorial day exerclses. Veterans who fought under the same flag during the past half-cen- tury, in three different wars, were gathered there, Rays of sun plerced the foliage at £pots and surrounded the scene with a natural setting of sunlight and shadow which made the spot ldeel for the commemorative purposes. The orator of the occaslon was Representative John M. Robsion of Kentucky, but the address which probably attracted the most attention was delivered by Mrs. John A, Logan, n-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, who in 1868 signed the general order setting aside May 20 as the date for the commemoration of the deeds of fallen soldiers by the placement of flowers and flags on the graves. Gives Intimate Touches. Mrs. Logan spoke for but five min- utes, but in her address she gave In- timate touches of her husband’s work and purposes after the civil war. Representative Robsion pleaded for the Americans of today to emulats the lives and sacrifices of those whose memory was being honored. “Oppression and greed.” he said, “must not become entrenched. It will mean little to free the humble. black man and to permit the industrial slavery of the workers of this country. “The rich must not be permitted to oppress the Poor. This country must continue to be the land of equal oppor- tunity. The powerful must be restrained and the weak protected. The ballot that cost 50 much of blood and treasure must be kept free and untrammeled. Uniess this republic continues to be & govern- ment of the people, by the people and for the people, the patriots whose graves we decorate today and who fought for us died in vain." Pleads for Loyalty. He reviewed the acts of the Ameri- can citlzen soidlery through the years. He pleaded for & restricted immigration and for the ridding of the nation of those who are not loyal to American teachings and doctrines. He then called attention to the place which the American roldier had won fof himself in battle. “The American citizen soldler,” he —_—_—m— | si14, “nas made for himselt a place that has not been approached in any age or in any country. They have won for themselves such a place in the hearts and the affection of the people throughout,the world that ¥ doubt if there s scarcely a soldier or sailor's grave of our country under the sun that is not decorated with Memorial day, to keep alive the heroes of our | piC SUF, M P2 Nder ‘hands of some one and wet with the tears of those who love them. It is a labor of love for you and me to be here and to again attest our gratitude for their sacrifice and to recount again their noble and herolc deeds.” \ A parade, which formed at the Scott building at 9:30 o'clock, marched to the rostrum in the ceme- tery under the escort of the Soldiers’ Home Band. Thomas H. Harris was officer of the day, Robert Clark marshal of the parade and Kazimier Zuykis, color bearer. The officials of the four or- ganizations under whose principal ausplces the ceremonies took place were John W. Reld, senior vice com- mander of the Department of the Po- tomac, G. A. R.; David C. Willlams, commander of the John Jacob Astor Camp. of the Spanish War Veterans; John F. Mcliree, commander of the President’s Own Garrison, Army and Navy Union, and Charles B. Hanford, commander of George Washington Post of the American Legion. ~As- {sisting organizations included the Vetemgns of Foreign Wars, the Wom- an's Relief Corps, Sons and Daugl ters of Veterans and allied societies.

Gettysburg and Inaugural Addresses and Symbol of - Union Complete Idea. BY HENRY BACON, Architect of the Lincoln Memorial On the great axls, planned over a century ago, we have at one efid the Capitol, which is the monument of the government, and to the west, over 2 mile distant from the Capitol, is the monument to Washington, one of the founders of the government. The Lincoln Memorial, built on this same axis still farther to the west, by the shore of the Potomac s the monu- ment of the man who saved the gov- ernment, thus. completing an un- paralleléd composition, which cannot fail to impart to each of its monu- ments a- value in addition to that which each standing alone would possess. From the beginning of my study I believed that this memorial of Abra- ham Lincoln should be composed of four features—a statue of the man, a memorial of his Gettysburg speech, a memorial of his second inaugural ad- dress, and a symbol of the Union of the United States, which, he stated, it was his paramount object to save —and which he did save. Each fea- ture ls related to the others by means of its design and position and each is so arranged that it becomes an_integral part of the whole, in order to attain a unity and simplicity in the appearance of the monument. Statue Most Important. The most important object is the statue of Lincoln, which is placed in the center of the memorial, and by virtue of its imposing position in the place of honor the gentleness, power and intelligence of the man, ex- pressed as far as possible by the sculptors art, predominate. = This portion of the memorial where the statue is placed is unoccupied by any other object that might detract from its effectiveness, and the visitor is alome with it. The smaller halls at each side of the central space each contains a me- morial—one of the second inaugural and the other of the Gettysburg ad- dress, \While these memorials can be seen from any part of the hall, they are partially screened from the central portion, where the statue .is placed, by means of a row of Ionic columns, giving a certain isolation to space they occupy and augmenting thereby their importance. 1 believe these two great speeches made by Lincoln will always have a far greater meaning to the citizens of the United States and visitors from other coun- tries than a portrayal of periods or events by means of decoration. Colonade Symbol of Union. Surrounding the walls inclosing these memorials of the man is a colonnade forming a symbol of the Inion, each column representing a state—thirty-six in all—one for each state existing at the time of Lin- coln’s death, and on the walls ap- pearing above the colonnade and supported at intervals by eagles are forty-eight memorial festoons, one for each state existing at the pres- ent time. < I believe this symbol representing the Union, surrounding the memorials of the man who saved the Union, will give to them a great significance that will strengthen in the hearts of be- holders the feelings of reverence and honor for the membry of Abraham ugco]:;a.n! of terraces the ground —_— DON'T WASTE TIME 3 5 LOOKING AROUND— § - :::::-;:: has the book you are Current or out-of-print books. 3 § PEARLMAN'S BOOK SHOP § $933 GSt. e Corner 10th & G Sts. &amw%umuw Hupmobile ‘Can you think of any other car, high-priced or low-priced, that has the fine kind of tation every where the Hupmobile has? el .— Sterrett & Fleming, Inc.

Gordon of 1408 Massa- chuseits avenue is as far as he is able to determine the last surviving member of the Kansas Froatier Guard, an_ organization of 120 mem- bers, mostly from Kansas, who stood watch over President Lincoln and the White House when the Confederate I!roo&)a were threatening the city.
