LAUNCH CAMPAIGN FOR KNOX FUNDS Memorial to Washington’s Friend to Be Erected in Maine. Gen. Henry Knox, !ounder of the Order of the Cincinnati, “friend of ‘Washington” and first Secretary of War and Navy of the United States, the most neglected of our Revolutionary | leaders, is at last to have a memorial, national in character and worthy of his exalted life and military achievements. ‘The, memorial will take the form of a reproduction of Montpelier, the man-| sion which Knox built overlooking the | beautiful St. Georges River at Thomas- ton, Me. Montpelier was conceived in the generous style of the home of Wash- ington. There Knox lived when he withdrew from the War office and at ‘Thomaston he is buried, with only a small stone to mark his grave. To complete the fund to provide and maintain the memorial, a committee of representative citizens, headed by Maj. Gen. Clarence R. Edwards as general chairman, is appealing for $150.000 Cyrus H. K. Curtis, Philadelphia pub- lisher, is honorary chairman of the committee and the project is_indorsed, among others, by Newton D. Baker, Josephus Daniels, Dwight F. Davis, Dr. Henry T. Fowler (only surviving rela- tive of Knox in New England), Otto H. Kahn, Secretary Mellon, W. Cameron . Gen. and Mrs. Herbert M.
