tending from the Atlantic to
the Pacific and from the gull
of Mexico to the great lakes. is due In
large degree to the foresight. energy
and courage of explorers and pioneers.
Civilization might have been held
back and the march of empire west
ward might have been checked had
they not shown the qualities of per
sistence and heroism they did and pre-
pared the way for the Industrial and
commercial enterprises and conquests
of our own time which have made the
nation so prosperous and so influential
among the powers of the globe. That
Is why the state of Illinois and the
city of Chicago have recently PAID
honor to three men whose explorations,
fortitude and enthusiasm as pioneers
of progress had so much to do with
the settlement and upbuilding of the
great northwest. These men were
Louis Joliet, the explorer; Pere Jacques
Marquette, the missionary. who shared
IN his travels, privations and perils.
and General George Rogers Clark.
There Is much romantic interest as
sociated with the lives ard adventures
OF these men. Joliet and Marquette
pushed westward in the interest. as
they believed, of French colonization
and empire and in behalf Of h spirit
ual welfare of the aboriginal inhab-
itants Of the UNEMPLOYED territory.
They led the way to the settlement
and development of vast tracts Of LAM
now occupied by millions of people,
and General Clark over a century
later had the foresight, while the col
onists of the eastern border were fight
ing for existence as a new nation, TO
see the importance of grasping and
holding the land between the Allie
ghenies and Mississippi.
Where Father Marquette wintered,
on the shore of Lake Michigan. after
he and Joliet had explored the Missis-
sippi and Illinois rivers In 1913. there
now stands n tall cross. These ex-
plorers are believed to have beer the
first white men to set o. on what Is
now the site of Chicago. The cross
has been erected at the point where
Robey street meets one branch of the
Chicago river. Ossian Guthrie, a
pioneer of Chicago. identified it as the
historic high ground" where Mar
quette passed the winter Of 1918 by
study of the journals of the mission
ary and of his companion, Joliet.
Originally a sand mound of consid-
cradle extent arose here above the sur
rounding marsh. and when the Jesuit
Relations were published Mr.. Guthrie
recognized it as the place where Father
Marquette had camped and erected his
chapel. In 1896 Thomas A. O'Shaugh-
messy, the artist. consulted him as tc
subject matter for pictures relating t
Marquette's Journeys. and the two veri

wrestling of Canada from france by
the British in 1859 the sovereignty of
the English monarch had bee extend

lament In the Quebec act had de-
clared the territory between the Ohio
and the great lakes to be part of Can

the keen vision and courage of Clark

In possession of this vast territory and,
furthermore, have prevented later on
the acquisition of the great Louisiana
purchase. This would have confined
the United States to the narrow strip
along the Atlantic coast and have pre-
vented its becoming the strong and
progressive nation which 1T is today.
By his expedition into he territory

ana and Illinois, his capture of Kas-
kaskia and defeat of the British COM
mander, Lieutenant Governor Henry
Hamilton, at Vincennes and his re-
markable feat in holding the territory

which is now recognized as among the
greatest to be credited to the heroes
and statesmen of the Revolutionary

welfare he did so much. The sculptor
Of the statue Of Clark recently un-
yelled at Quincy. Charles j. Mulligan

"the neglected hero" 1t is said that
in Washington, which Is bestrewn with
memorials Of the good and great, there
is not q single thing to remind the
public Of the man who forced back the
British to the farther shores Of the
great lakes. Mr.. Mulligan has por-
trayed Clark standing against a block
Of granite, his hands folded, an old
cooked hat In his right hand and his
sword by his side. The statue is nine
feet high, of bronze, and the granite
block is eleven feet high. The site Is
commanding and the impression given
by the memorial most forceful.
It was in July, ITS. two years after
the American nation was born, that
Clark placed the American flag over
the old fort at Kaskaskia. Today the
country which his expedition won for
the American flag aggregates an area
Of $4,000 square miles, comprises five
states and contains a population OF
about 100000. Clark, with the aid
Of Patrick Henry, then governor Of
Virginia. conquered this empire with
the help Of little more than 200 men.
On the evening Of the Fourth Of July,
ITS, he reached the Kaskaskia river
and in the darkness ferried his men
over 1t and surprised the officers OF
the post on the farther side as they
were enjoying themselves at a dance.
Some months later he surprised and
defeated Hamilton at vincennes.

Maude Adams
And the Noble
Maid of Orleans

~~vUEN Miss Maude Adams de
WM cided on the production Of
Schiller's Joan of Are In
the Harvard stadium at
Cambridge. Mass, on June %. h
knew that it meant an undertaking of
much magnitude. When you have LOO
or 1900 people on the stage at a time
things are liable to happen, things not
meant to be on the program and
which tend to mar the smoothness
and beauty of the performance. To
avert the danger of incidents of this
kind necessitates arranging every de-
tail with the utmost care in advance.
This is especially true in the case OF
a performance like that of Joan OF
Are" where historical accuracy In
every particular is so essential, espe-
cially when given. as In this instance,
in a university town before an audi
nee of more than the average degree
of cultivation and knowledge of his
tory and literature. Miss Adams was
naturally anxious that amid the classic
surroundings of old Harvard the pro-
duction which was to portray the he
roic life and glorious death of the
Maid of Orleans should be as perfect
as possible from both the historical
and dramatic standpoints.
Miss Adams arranged to leave New
York at once on the close of her sea-
son at the Empire theater in that city
and proceed to Cambridge with her
entire forces-company. stage man
ayers and supernumeraries-for actual
rehearsal on the grassy stage of the
stadium at Harvard, with all the 1900
persons participating in the production
present. But before that for several
