CORNER STONE
IS LAID TODAY

Pittsburg Landing, Tenn, Nov. A.
The corner stone Of the $4,000 con-
federate monument that the United
Daughters of the fConfederacy are to
erect upon the battlefield Of Shiloh
was laid today under the auspices of
the Adamsville Lodge of Masons, the
Grand Master of Tennessee, Charles
Barham, officiating. Masonic lodges of
Western Tennessee North Alabama
and North Mississippi assisted in the
ceremony.
The monument will stand near the
old Shiloh meeting house in the angle
made by the intersection of the Cor
inth- -Pittsburg Landing and Ham
burg Savannah roads. It will face In
the direction from which the confed-
crate forces advanced to attack in the
early morning of April 6, 1852.
The monument when completed will
represent years Of patient work on
the part of the Daughters of the Con-
federacy in raising the money. Though
the battle Of Shiloh. fought April 6-7,
1862. was one of the most important
of the war, the national military park
there contains but three monuments
to commemorate the part played by
southern troops in the battle. The
monument now under construction
will be the most imposing in the park.
1t is being constructed of Mt Airy

Victory Defeated by Death. Under the
figures set in the granite is a bas re-
lief of General Albert Sidney Johnston.
the confederate commander, killed
there. At either end of the granite
monument is a group of soldiers. The
monument is the work of Frederick C,
Hibbard of Chicago. The front of the
monument measures thirty-five feet
across. The central group of figures
rises to a height of 1871 feet. All the
bronze figures are heroic in size.

new GERMAN
AMBASSADOR TO
CONSTANTINOPLE

The Hague, Netherlands, Nov. A.
DIR. Richard Won Kuhlmann, who since
the outbreak Of war was attached for a
short time to the German embassy in
Washington and has since then repre-
sented his country as minister at The
Hague, is leaving shortly to take up
his new appointment as ambassador in
Constantinople during the absence OF
Count Wolff Metternich ION urgent
private business"
DR.. Won Kuhlmann, who is in his
44th year, is said to enjoy high favor
with the emperor, and his promotion
to this important post testifies equally
to satisfaction with his record in the
Observation-Disclosures he is credited
with considerable influence on the
economic policy followed-and to the
high esteem in which his abilities are
held in Berlin.
Curiously he was born in the Turk
ish capital, his father having been
general director of the Anatolian rail-
ways. and he has an intimate knowl-
edge of eastern affirs. The absence
of Count Wolff Metternich is likely tc
be permanent: the count has now
reached his 63rd year and served fol
thirty-four years in the German diplo-
matte corps.
DR.. Won Kuhlmann's successor at the
Dutch court is DIR. Frederick Rosen
