T007H ANNIVERSARY OF SCHURZ MARKED Movement Started to Endow. $16,000,000 Memorial to Statesman. ‘The 100th anniversary of the birth of Carl Schurz, which was celebrated in many parts of the country yesterday, served to fecus public attention on a movement now under way to endow a $16,000,000 foundation to foster cultural interrelations between the American and German peoples as a memorial to the great liberal statesman, soldier and editor beloved and honored equally by the two nations. Plans are being made here to hold a national celebration in Washington at an early date to honor the former alien who “made good” in the land of op- portunity and left his mark in great reforms wrought in the currency of the ‘Government, the civil service, conser- vation of natural resources and even in the literature and art of his adopted country. President-elect Herbert Hoover and other high officials of the Govern- ment and leaders who have made ideal- ism the ruling principle of their lives would be’invited to participate in the celebration. The congestion of legislation during | the closing days of Congress prevented the holding of memorial services yes- terday under a resolution previously in- troduced by Senator Wagner of New York and Representative Dyer of Mis- souri. Movement to Be Laui<hed. Sponsored by such men as Vice Presi- dent Charles G. Dawes, Charles Nagel of St. Louis, Jacob Gould Schurman, Ambassador to Berlin; Paul M. War- burg of New York, Representative Rich- ard Bartholdt of St. Louis and others, the Carl Schurz Memorial Foundation is planning to launch the movement on a Nation-wide basis. Dr. William F. Notz, dean of the Georgetown Univer- sity School of Foreign Service, is the | Washington representative of the foun- | dation in charge of sponsoring the local celebration plans. Preliminary plans call for the en- dowment of such activities, for instance, as scientific research and publications pertaining to the history of the Ger- man-American element, exchange of students and teachers, special fellow- ships, promotion of the teaching of Ger- man and many kindred purposes to be defined by the board of trustees, whose business it will be to make up the an- nual budget. An organizing committee has been formed to plan the endowment cam- paign for the goal of $2,000,000. Local committees are being organized in the principal centers of the country. In many respects Carl Schurz was one of the most remarkable men in that period of intellectual giants before and after the Civil War. He fled from Ger- many at the conclusion of the German insurrection of 1848, going to France and then to England before making, his way to America. His spectacular and fruitful career in this country proved that America was still the land of op- portunity, where only the presidency and vice presidency are out of reach of naturalized citizens. Fought in Civil War. He practiced law in Milwaukee and soon gained a reputation as a politician and a lecturer. His brilliancy had been felt as early as 1858, when he was one of the speakers in Illinois during the great Lincoln-Douglass campaign. In Lineoln’s presidential campaign he did such efféctive work that he was ap- pointed Minister to Spain. He resigned the post in five months, however, to enter the service of the Union Army at the outbreak of the Civil War. Schurz was commissioned a brigadier general in 1862 and commanded a di- vision in the corps of Gen. Frank Si- gel. He took part in the second Bat- tle of Manassas and was made a major general in 1863, He led the 1lth Corps at Chancellorsville and partici- pated in the Battles of Chattanooga and Gettysburg, where a monument is to be_erected to his memory. Schurz re-entered public life after the war, In the United States Senate he was the most effective speaker in the Republican party, and before his service in the upper house he had made a record in the House of Representa- tives, being the first German-American to be elected to Congress. He was the original independent in politics. In 1870 he entered the liberal Republican movement in Missouri. He presided over the 1872 convention which nominated Horace Greeley and support- ed him against Grant. Schurz stood for reform in the civil service and the tariff at times when reform had few friends, when the Re- Publican party seemed omnipotent. - After a visit to Europe, he returned to support Hayes for the presidency and fought for honest money against Allen and inflation. He transferred the fight he had carried on in the Senate | to the stump, and his efforts had much | to do with Hayes’ election. Served in Hayes' Cabinet. Hayes chose him as Secretary of the Interior, and in that office he carried out continuously for the first time the idea of civil service reform. He did much to straighten out the affairs of the Indian Bureau and was the first official in high position to check the devastations of forests and call the Na- tion's attention to the great natural resources contained in the timberlands. For these services and his promotion of agriculture, Schurz earned the name | of father of conservation and the farm movement. His political life ended with the ex- piration of his cabinet term. Schurz then turned his great talents to jour- nalism, reform and literary work. He became one of the editors of the New York Evening Post in 1881 and con- .tinued to the end of 1883. In 1884 he took part in the independent move- ment_which arose against the Republi- ean Party and helped to elect Grover Cleveland as President. Although Schurz supported Cleveland in both his campaigns, he opposed the free silver theories of William Jennings Bryan. He died May 14, 1906. Six months later a great memorial service was held in New York, at which the speakers were ex-President Cleveland. President Fliot of Harvard, Joseph H. Choate, Ambassador to England, and other great leaders in thé reform movement to .which he devoted his life. Schurz’ speeches throughout the country to German-Americans were al- ways full of the ideal of good citizen- | ship, and though he was inspired with the critical spirit of reform, he never grew to be a pessimist.

Trained in Kentucky, Being Brought Here. Members of the White House staff are wondering whether President Cool- idge intends to devote some of his leis- ure hours to bird hunting in the Mas- | sachusetts hills around Northampton after his retirement. His bird dog, which is hardly a puppy | any longer, is being brought here from Kentucky, where it has been under- going & period of training while “growing up.” The President is fond of trap shooting and game hunting, pastimes in which he has indulged dur- ing recent vacations, and it is ganerally believed he intends to improve his skill. His bird dog was the gift of an admirer of Superior, Wis. “Tiny Tim,” Mrs. Coolidge's favorite chow, has been endowed for life. He is going to follow his beloved mistress wherever she goes. When it came time to decide the fate of the various White House pets, Mrs. Coolidge decided that “Tiny Tim” was too desirable a com- panion to forsake.
