POTOMAC PALISADES SITE
FOR TITANIC MEMORIAL
w. N. ElEcott Holds National Capi-
tai Is Proper Place for Pro-
posed Structure.

BALTIMORE, Md, May 2O-That the
site for the proposed Titanic memorial
should be the National Capital is the
opinion expressed today by William NJ
Ellicott. we'll known in social and bust
ness circles Of this city. Mr. Ellicott
added that he believed the most fitting
spot near the capital was the palisades
of the Potomac river. He said:
THAT the National Capital lis the place
for the memorial may be conceded
The event is both national and interna-
tonal in its significance, and there is no
spot upon which an International monu-
ment could suitably be placed Upon
Congress devolves the duty of formulat-
ing laws for the protection of our own
citizens. and upon parliament that of
protecting British subjects. The two ma
tions should commemorate the disaster
at their respective capitals.
The question of site will be the first
matter Of moment to be settled. Within
the city proper any such monument will
be in competition with others Of that
size and varied character A certain iso-
lation and seclusion would seem to be
imperative in this case to impart quiet
and solemnity to 1t. This implies remote
ness from the inland travelled routes, and
while It might be thought that 1t would
not be reached with sufficient ease by
large numbers of people, some sacrifice
will be necessary IL complete success is
to be obtained in artistic achievement.
The palisades of the Potomac river
above Washington occur to our minds as
eminently suited to the purpose. and If
Congress were to create a national park
in this direction, as advocated by all the
influential art societies of the country,
undoubtedly such a location, with the
forest as q background and frontage
on the river. would be worthy of serious
consideration.
