The great world war, in which American valor has * been so conspicuously shown, in which New York troops have so bravely born their part, will call for a memorial on a scale in keeping with its place in world history. The 2 Mitchel memorial should not be apart from such a great % memorial, It fittingly should be incorporated in a larger plan of city tribute such as ‘The World testimonial offers for the consideration of the committee. The World suggests a Memorial Field on the site of 2 the lower reservoir in Central Park, which the former cit) administration had planned to utilize for a sunken garden, The reservoir, which covers an area of about forty-two acres, no longer serves any purpose in the New York City 4 water supply or any other purpose. The central architectural feature of the proposed Memorial Field would be a vietory arch, similar in general design to the classic Are de ‘Triomphe of Paris and domi- nating a court of honor. ‘The arch would be flanked on either side by curving peristyles of a double row of col- umns, terminating in massive pylons. Between the clusters of columns pedestals would sup- port statues of men whose services in the war merited such testimonial. ‘The broad bases of the pillars would serve as tablets, whereon could be inseribed the names of other in- dividuals or military units deserving the honor of imper- ishable bronze, Directly before the victory arch the plan suggests a fountain of. peace, which would give its waters into the lagoon before it. In the lagoon proper captured enemy ? submarines could be moored, and there would be a place in the court of honor for the installation of big guns which ¢ represented trophies of American valor. ; Behind the archga broad path leads to a historical + museum, wherein would be displayed other relics of the great war. At the lower end of the field a stadium might be built for open air patriotic meetings and concerts, OOO4OC4 04 OFS OOHOEEHOSEL LEE LE PE LUTHUPHIONEDOURONT IOS SOD UOEDODITOOT OHO TUT LUDO T UES EUEOVOFIOTPOOH OTT OOOE® | , ‘ LS iinet a the Belgian and na met aterdny at the! “I «uffered (or a number of yours Kodman Wanamaker was! gith Rheumatiam and severe (rman, Charles B.
