A monument to the memory of
the loyal women of the Civil War
will become an enduring reality if
Congress enacts into law a joint
resolution just introduced by Hon.
Elihu Root, of New York, in the
Senate and Hon. j L. Slayden, of
Texas, in the House. This project
which has lain dormant in the
minds of the people for almost
half century, has been put into
concrete form by the generosity
and patriotism of the Commandery
of the State of New York of the
Military Order of the Loyal Leg.
ion of the Uuited States.
1t is not proposed to make the
monument merely a remembrance
of persons and deeds, not merely
memorial of lifeless stone or
bronze, but a noble building full
of the spirit of helpfulness, of ten
der sympathy, of humane and
patriotic devotion that lived in the
women to whom this monument
will be erected. This spirit is the
spirit of the Red Cross, and for
this reason the memorial is to be
given to Red Cross in perpetuity
for its headquarters in Washing
ton. Toward the carrying out
of this purpose, the Commandery
has pledged itself to secure and
give the sum of $500, 900, on con-
dition that Congress appropriate
an equal amount as a contribution
of the United States toward the
purchase of a suitable site in the
city of Washington, the improve
ment of the grounds, etc. Thus
the memorial will be made truly
national, the tribute of all the peo-
pie to the sacred memory of the
loyal women of the war. The Red
Cross, on its part, is to agree to
secnre an endowment fund, the in
come of which will be sufficient
to maintain the building for all
time.
