The intention of the commissioners
to convey title to the reservation to
the National Government, has suggested
that the property may be put to some
practical use of great future benefit to
humanity, aside from it's significance
as reservation dedicated to history,
art, and progress. The site is an ad-
mirable one for the location of wire

had been launched at Erie harbor only
month before, but had made endur-
ing history in this incredibly brief
period. Delaying but two days, to as
semble the military forces on Putin
Bay Island, the American army set
sail for Michigan. The city of Detroit
was evacuated by the British, who
were pursued into Canada and utterly
routed at the battle of the Thames,
October 9Th, victory in which Perry
himself had share as volunteer aid
on the staff of General Harrison.
From that supreme hour of the bat
tie, the destinies of the vast domain
now comprising the western section of
New York and the greater part Of
what is now known as the Middle
West, (including wisconsin,, were
fixed forever within the boundaries of
the American Union.
From an international standpoint
Perry's victory won for American
arms the respect of the world. 1t was
notice to Europe, and one never since
unheeded, that the nation which was
baptized in blood at Lexington. was
amply able, as an infant republic, to
care for herself on land and sea. It
had a conclusive effect, not only in
terminating the War of 1912, but in es-
tablishing terms in respect to the fu-
ture boundary between Canada and
the United States most favorable to
the latter.

TRIBUTES TO PERRY.

Next after Paul Jones stands Oliver
Hazard Perry Jones brought the
American Revolution home to Eng
land. Perry drove England back be-
hind the barbados of her New France
The fight off Scarborough Head in the
North Sea told the world that if Eng
land was the mistress of the sea,
America was master. The fight off
Put-in-Bay rescued the territory con-
uuered by George Rogers Clark and
wiped out the disgrace of HulPs sur
render. Jones laid the cloth for the
French alliance. Perry cleared the
way for Harrison's advance and short
ened the distance between Bladens-
burg and the Treaty of Client. But.
above all, it was Perry, like Jones, who
gave the world assurance of a man, of
an American and of America, the re-
sistless, the unconquerable; of the

A T the inception Of the Perry's
"a Victory Centennial enterprise,
"a the commissioners of the sew
eral states proposed that a
permanent memorial, overlooking the
scene of the battle of Lake Erie,
should be their essential purpose in
achieving the objects for which they
were appointed. Every suggestion Of
history and sentiment pointed to Put
Inlay Island, Lake Erie, as the logical
site.
1t consists of reservation of about
fourteen acres in extent, with some
fourteen hundred feet of water front
on both sides, situated in the narrow
neck of land at Put-in-Bay Island. II

proposed that their remains shall be
disinterred and find final resting
places within the crypt Of the me-
mortal.
The accepted design of the Perry
memorial was secured through an
architectural competition conducted
under the rules of the American Insti-
tute of Architects and decided by the
National Commission of the Fine Arts.
The monument, when completed as
designed, will cover, with it's plaza,
almost all of the reservation dedicated
as park to the memorial. The plaza,
rising in a gradual ascent from the
waters edge to the level height of IL
feet, is 1853 feet long and 461 feet
wide. The Doric column in the CEN
ter, is 335 feet in height, from the
base to the light on the tripod sur
mounting the abacus which is 800
feet high and will be rallied for an
observation gallery. 1t will be reached

TTHEkE nave been few Combats OF
land or sea more tremendous in
their consequences than the bat
tie of Lake Erie. The heroism
displayed on both sides of that engage
ment indicated the quality of personal
bravery in both combatants and re
quires no eulogy here.
Commodore Perry had accom-
plished, with the aid of his Rhode Is
land craftsmen, the extraordinary feat
of building his fleet from the freshly
hewn timbers of the forests around
Pressure Isle (now Erie), Pennsyl
vania, and of launching his vessels in
the face of a British blockade. The
naval supremacy Of the lakes was at
stake and the issue was the greatest
of the war. From August IL to Sep.
TENDER 10, 1913, Perry cruised Lake
Erie in search of the enemy under
command of Captain Barclay. On the
latter date the British fleet was de-
serted, as Perrys vessels lay quietly
in the harbor of Putin Bay, and at
once the daring American commander
sailed forth to give battle.
The brief but glorious story of the
conflict that ensued is known to every

advantage in the number of their YES

The victory was complete, but no
one on either side could have for
seen the vast consequences of that
days work. The immediate result was
the expedition which redeemed Mich
igan from British rule Had Perry
been defeated, General Harrisons
army would have been isolated in the
Sandusky Country of Ohio, impotent
to strike blow toward the north.
