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 barricades 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-
ouered by George Rogers Clark and
wined out the disgrace of Hulls sur
render. Jones laid the cloth for the
French alliance. Perry cleared the
wav for Harrison's advance and short
ened the distance between Bladens-
hurg 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
s;stless. the uncomfortable; of the
glad. the glorious, the wonder-breed-
ing. of the Union, the imperishable.

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 its 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 GEN.
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
by electric elevators. The column is

At the inception of the Perry's
~ Victory Centennial enterprise,
n 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
we're appointed. Every suggestion of
history and sentiment pointed to Put
n-Bay Island, Lake Erie, as the logical
site.
1t consists of reservation of about
ourteen acres in extent, with some
fourteen hundred feet of water front
IN both Sides situated in the narrow
aeck of land at Put-in-Bay Island. 1t
overlooks the waters of Lake Erie
oward West Sister Island, whence
Commodore Perry sent his famous
Message to General Harrison.
On the shore of the bay, not far
rom the memorial site, are the graves

! As feet in diameter at the base and
IS feet at the top-the highest monu.
ment in the world, with the exception
of the Washington monument at the
National Capital.
The building on the left, as shown
in the illustration, is an historical mu-
scum containing floor space of 5000
square feet, and the. peristyle to the,
right is emblematic Of a century Of
peace between Great Britain and the
United States.
The intention Of the commissioners
to convey title to the reservation to-
the National Governmenthass suggested
that the property may be put to some
practical use of great future benefit to
humanity, aside from it's significance
as a reservation dedicated to history,
art, land progress. The site is an adj
mirable one for the location of wire
less telegraph station capable of re-
ceiving and discharging messages over
the whole chain of lakes, life saving
station, and meteorological bureau.

had been launched at Erie harbor only
a 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, a 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 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.

officers. The Lawrence" Perry'S flag
ship, was soon put out of commission
by the long range and concentrated
fire of three of the enemy's ships, leav-
ing only Is out of her 101 officers and
men not dead or disabled. From this
bloody wreck the dauntless Perry re-
moved his flag, in small boat under
heavy fire, to the Niagara" Bring
ing all his remaining feet into action,
the young American commander
passed through the line of the enemy
with successive broadsides at short
range, and in the brief space of thirty
minutes compelled the surrender OF
the British flagship Detroit" and of
the Queen Charlotte Lady Pre-
vost," and Hunter" The "Chippe-
way" and Little Belt" endeavored to
escape, but were overtaken by the
American vessels, scorpion" and
Grippe" and struck their colors with
in an hour.
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 Harrison's
army would have been isolated in the
Sandusky Country of Ohio, impotent
to strike a blow toward the north.
Perry's victory enabled General
Harrison to embark his troops aboard
the warscarred American fleet, which

sT1HERE have been few combats on
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-
1uires no eulogy here.
Commodore Perry had accom-
3lished, with the aid of his Rhode Is.
and craftsmen, the extraordinary feat
building his fleet from the freshly
lewn timbers of the forests around
Pressure Isle (now Erie), Pennsyl-
yania, and of launching his vessels in
he 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 II 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 Perry's 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
schoolboy. The Americans had the
advantage in the number Of their YES
sells. and in broadside weight Of metal;
the British, in the number and carry
ing power of their guns and slight
numerical superiority of seamen and

should join with eagerness and en-.
thusiasm; and the school programs
should be enlarged and dignified by
the participation of men and women
capable of making the strongest ap-
peal to the understanding and patriot
ism of the young.
The Wisconsin Commission believes
that the schools are the proper and
natural medium through which to in
vite public attention to the real mean
ing of the centennial. In offering to
Wisconsin students the opportunity to
engage in competition of unusual
historical interest, for valuable in
ducements offered, in addition to the
educational incentive, the Commission
is convinced that it has selected 9

with the intent of the legislative act
creating the Commission; and that il
no more certain or comprehensive way
could the educational value Of the his
torical revival indicated in the move
ment, be brought home to the people
of the entire state.

Walter Johnson and Mechanic
ian Caught in Storm.

Chicago, July 9.-Disaster befell
two of the three starters in the aero
boat races from Chicago to Detroit
and there is great fear for the fate of
Walter Johnson, who with his mechan-
ician, Earl Biers, was caught in the
middle of the lake in a fierce 60-mile
gale and cannot be found.
Life savers all along the shore are
on the lookout, rescue parties in boats
have put off from Michigan City and
Gary, and every effort is being made
to find him.
1t is feared that his craft was cap
sized by the storm and hurled into the
lake, though it is possible that he has
made land and by reason OF wires be-
ing blown down, has not been able to
report

Horse and Buggy Stolen.

While Mr.. and Mrs, John Benson,
who live in the country east of this city,
were shopping here Saturday evening,
their horse and buggy. which was tied
near the creamery, was stolen.
The fact that they were missing was
not known until quite late in the even
ing as they We're preparing to go home.
\ search was made throughout the
city and on several of the roads outly
ing, but no trace of the outfit could be
found
Mr.. and Mrs. Benson finally went
home with friends and about four
O'Clock Sunday morning the horse and
buggy was discovered near the John
Gorgen residence. Mr.. Gorgen tied
the horse and the owner came after it
as soon as possible.

very hard, and the buggy was covered
with mud.

WAS COMPLETE WALKAWAY
Mineral Point Proves Too Much For
the Baseball Team From the
Highland Town.

The baseball fans who attended the
baseball game between Mineral Point
and Highland, which was staged at
Linden last Saturday, either over esti-
mated the Highland teams ball playing
qualities, or under estimated the ability
of the team wearing the Mineral Point
uniforms, for instead of seeing close
ly contested game, they witnessed ex
actly the opposite.
Nevertheless, it was farce, being a
complete walkaway for our boys, and
when the smoke cleared away after the
game, the score was found to be 176,
with Highland on the short end
The third inning proved to be High
lands undoing and during that session
the Mineral Point boys annexed ten
complete round trips.
Peddington was on the mound for
the locals with Guy Fessenden as back
stop, and Fecht hurled for the Highland
aggregation with Doyle as catcher.
Mineral Point has a pretty good old
team, at least the people who witnessed
the game Saturday say so.
