Commission Plans Memorial
Amphitheater as Resting
Place of Our Heroes.
PROPOSED NATIONAL SHRINE
Colonel Harris Predicts Compile
ton of Edifice Within.
One Year.

Col. W. W. Harris, executive and
disbursing officer in charge of the
construction OF the Arlington Mem
orial Amphitheater, in a statement
last night set forth the plans of the
commission in regard to the amphi-
theater.
Discussion of the final resting
place of the remains of Admiral
Dewey has brought out the fact that
II Is the plan of the commission to
place his body within the amphithea-
ter, and to confer a like honor upon
the men who, by some especial dis
tinctive service for their country,
seem to justify such action. Colonel
Harris said:
An American westminster.
"Only those who have especially
distinguished themselves in the serv-
ice Of the country may find this re-
ward. 1t Is the hope of the commits
sion to make, this amphitheater a
Pantheon or Westminster Abbey for
the distinguished, so that in addition
to its usefulness as an auditorium IL
will serve as q center about which
win cluster all those heroic senti-
AASA-SS "AAOA NhC conspicuous oCCao Va
arms In the country's defense inspire
in the hearts OF all Americans"
To Provide Memorial Tablets.
There will be provided in the build
ing large numbers of memorial tab
lets. In the colonnade around the
amphitheater will be places for busts,
and in the crypt, under the chapel,
provision will be made for the inter-
ment Of q few persons. Already the
construction OF the building provides
for the inscription of the names of
leaders.
Colonel Harris paid a signal honor
to the memory OF Admiral Dewey
when he said:
ITO my mind, Admiral Dewey rep
resents the highest type of military
hero who should be so honored by
the country in this building"
Completed In 1918.
Colonel Harris said that no action
would be taken regarding the dis
posal of the remains of Admiral
Dewey within the amphitheater until
the completion Of the structure, which
will not be for more than a year.
As q means-of protection against
abuse OF the privilege held out to
the nations heroes, It Is the plan of
the committee to make an act of Con-
gress necessary before any one can
be buried within the amphitheater
or commemorated there by bust or
Inscription
Try Test of Time.
& Another idea. which has not yet
been definitely decided upon, is to re-
serve this honor until ten years after
the death of the individual under con-
sideration. This will be done to find
whether the memory of the person
to be so honored will stand the test
of time.
Colonel Harris said: "Our nation is
addicted to sudden RANCHES, and some
man may spring to sudden popularity
which will not be justified in the
light of after events. So we feel that
this is only a fair means of protec-
tion Of the honor Of the building"

URGES PREPARATION
TO PRESERVE PEACE
Pacifists Disregard Nations
Safety, Crago Tells Span
iSh War Veterans.

The preservation of peace in the
United States should be assured by
preparing for war, Congressman
Thomas s. Crago Of Pennsylvania told
the members of the Department OF
the District of Columbia, United Span

given last night in the National Ho-
tel, in honor of Commander-in-chief
Chisholm and members CT the organ
ization in Congress.
There are many of the peace-at-
any-price pacihsts," he said, "who
have chloroformed themselves into a
total disregard for the nations safety
in the future. AS veterans of the
Spanish war, we know how the coun-
try was unprepared In 1898, and we
know the cost of that unprepared-
ness"
Chief Chisholm also
urged preparedness, advocating some
system of national training in the
schools and colleges, and more thor
ough training in the national guard.

again be subjected to the disgrace Of
being unprepared, as in 1885,
