A GIGANTIC CONFED-
ERATE MEMORIAL

The Lion of Lucerne end such 9TH
err monuments carved from the living
ock have 10 project a dangerous
rival. The Daughters of the Confed-
erscy are planning TO memorialze
the lost cause" by a monument
hewn on the sheer side of Stone
Mountain. an elevation 16 miles
from Atlanta. Ga. This mountain
is thought to be,a unique geological
structure, in itself single, huge
boulder with perpendicular face q
thousand feet in height. The pros
pective plan is to transform this solid
stone into ha with columns hewn
from the face without any resort to
the builders method Of placing stone
on stone. The facade will have three
colossal figures. the central one be-
ing Robt. E. Lee. who will be thanked
BY "Stonewall" Jackson and Joseph
Johnston. Two wings OF an army
lin sc,ion will come from the east ana
the west, behind the two t1ures'
making a splendid array OF horse
and-foot soldiers. exhibiting all the
struggle, anguish and death or bat
tie. The curtain formed by the,
mountain is 5000 feet across and
over 600 in height. and on this will
be depicted the story. The proper
ty. formerly owned by Mr.. Sam
Venable, has been donated to the
Daughters of the Confederacy. and
they have enlisted the service of
Gutzon Borglum. the sculptor. who
outlines his scheme in the Atlanta
Constitution.
"The only fitting memorial to the
South of ga. built by the equally
greas South of to-day. is to recon-
struct as we can the great character
of those ca, S. and in colossal propor-
tion carve them in hign and full re-
lief in action. mounted and on foot.
moving aturally across its face to
the east.
These figures should be in scale
with the mounttin. they must be
visible ard readable at distance OF
several miles; their likeness recog-
nizable and maintained. The grour-
ings would represent the official
heads of the South, including off,
cers. cavalry artillery. and infantry.
Portraits should include the fore.
most men in the different branches
OF the service.
THE size Of the figures can only
be definitely determined after the
work has begun, but they will be ap-
proximately 35 to so feet. This is
possible. In its effect it would stand
alone in memorial and monumental
work In the world. 1t could be done
in sections and presented to the
world by a kind of instsllment. be-
ginning with the principal figures
say. Lee. jackson. and Johnston as a
group. and later another group. d.
yiding the work into parts"
The immense cost Of this under
taking. estimated at $4,000. 900. Is
entailed by the exigencies Of the
work. Electrical machinery Of the
most modern type must be used. tx-

vEN|zELoS Ex-PREMIER OF GREECE

IN NAME OF the LIBERAL PARTY

Paris. Dec. 6-Elphtherios Nenize
los, ex-premier of Greece, has issued a
manifesto addressed in the name of the
Liberal party to the people Of his coun-
try advising abstention from voting in
the forthcoming general elections. The
manifesto was issued on Nov. q, but
its transmission by telegraph was pre-
vented by the Greek government. and
il reached Paris today by mail
The manifesto calls attention TO the
fact that the internal crisis was
brought about solely by the wrestling
Of power from those to whom the peo-
pie had confded il at the last cleo
ton.
Day by DAY" says NJ. Venizelos. the
constitution is deformed into a simple
scrap of paper and we find ourselves
at present in a deviation from our poll
cies amounting TO suppression of the
constitutional regime"
The ex-premier points out what he
calls the entire absence of necessity or
excuse for an appeal TO the people for
the second time in a few months amid
the confusion of war.
He declares the Chamber Of DEPUTIES
overturned the Greek cabinet not for
the mere pleasure Of exercising its OPP
position and that il would have accept
ed the new cabinet with the sole ex-
clusion of the minister who had insult
ed the Chamber. ana says:

and in spite Of his maintenance in the
reconstructed ministry, the opposition
contented itself with declaring that il
would abstain from the session.

defence Of its own dignity and had no
