MEMORIAL TO
LINCOLN BEGUN
Ground Broken for Impos-
ing Structure.
WILL COST TWO MILLIONS
Potomac Park at Washington Selected
for Site of Monument TO the Great
Emancipator-No Formal Ceremony
Marks Beginning of Work.

Washington, Feb. l3.-Ground has
been broken for the Lincoln memorial,
a 50, 200, 600 structure, the purpose of
whose designers is hat it shall stand
throughout time as an example of
the best in architecture and sculpture
that this age could produce.
The site for the memorial is in Po-
tomac park, on an axis" planned
more than a century ago. at n end
of which is the Capitol, the monument
of the government; and at the other,
more than a mile to the west, the
Washington monument.
Still farther to the west will be the
Lincoln memorial, where 1t will have
a relation with the Capitol and the
Washington monument that would be
impossible on any other site and will
be closely related also with Arlington
cemetery, where those who fought for
the Union are buried.
The design of the memorial is the
work of Henry Bacon, a New York ar
chitect, approved by the memorial
commission. His idea was that the
memorial to Lincoln should be com.
posed of four features-a statue OF
the man, a memorial of his Gettys
burg speech. a memorial of his second
inaugural address, and a symbol OF
the United States which he pre-
served.
Each feature will be related TO the
other by means of design and posi-
ton. and each will be so arranged
that it will become an integral part
of the whole, in order to attain unity
and simplicity in the monument.
