modern features, teeming with life,
and surmounted with a carlton tower

Beyond Fury of Hell.

The kingdom of hell could not
match your fiendish cruelty.
Nor all the cruelties exercised
through your reign. You have
wrecked the happiness of your
entire empire. Your 60th birth
day should be the cause for
much rejoicing of a golden age.
What have you done to your
country? Your betrayal of the
worlds confidence-will fall on
your own children to the third
and fourth generation. Your
birthday consideration of the
American people are that all
Germans to the third and fourth
generation be disenfranchised
in America.
This will be the lesson taught
to the world-we hold honor and
integrity to be the highest
ideals of American men.

An Appeal.

We who have borne alone the toll
of days:
We who have spent the long and
sleepless nights;
We who have seen our sons so TO
the trays
To battle for the boon of human
rights.
We who have looked for names on
Honors Roll
With eyes of dread lest loved
names there we see:
We who have used our substance,
mind and soul,
In this latest fight that men shall
still be free.
We who have read that message
from afar-
Missing in Action" or perhaps
much worse.
Appeal to those Of you who now
have power
To punish those who brought
about this curse.
For in our youth we learned this
lesson well
That crimes unpunished great
er crimes entail"
That he who sows the wind" the
prophets tell.
Must reap the whirlwind," il
Gods laws prevail.
To let them go unpunished for their
crimes
On Flanders plain where peace
full poppies grow.
Or fields of France where lilies
bloom betimes
Our precious dead would scorn
us here below.
Or from that place where Lusita-
MAS dead
Lay cold upon the bottom OF the
Would come their spirits in our day
OF dread
To shame the weakness OF both
you and me.
Then. too, our children in their
days at school
Must read Alright this truth from
history's page
That ours il was to hold the Golden
Rule
A worthy guide for rulers of our
age.
The worlds not safe while such
fiends still are free
To spread their doctrine that
They've right to kill"
They're but a menace to the rights

automatically.
While the edifice primarily is de-
signed as a tribute to the brave
Americans who assisted so nobly in
rescuing the peoples OF the world
from autocraCy on the Redeemed
fields of Europe, II is the purpose
of its projectors also to include all
fighting men who have sustained Old
Glory. 1t will be as much an af-
feCtionate memorial to the Con-
tinental soldiers in bun and blue
who followed Washington as to the
gallant fellows in khaki-brown who
charged through the fires at Chateau
Thierry and won. 1t will be a ma
tiOn's loving remembrance of the
men in sky blue who went with
Scott over the alkall plains and
cactus fields of old Mexico in 1S47;
to the men of 1912 and those of 1861
to 1865, who were led to victory by
Grant and his generals and saved
the country from division; to the
peerless regulars OF the Indian wars
who blazed the way for civilization
in the Golden West; to the Ameri-
can volunteers and regulars who
won the war with Spain and fought
through the jungles and swamps OF
the Philippines.
Nearly all the great cities of the
United States have erected memorial
building to the soldiers and sailors
from the States in which they are
located. This city stands out as a
notable exception. In many States
memorial edifices have been built in
towns and even villages. Only re-
Gently announcement was made that
steps had been taken at Boston ito

war against Germany"
Memorial Buildings Favored.
Two suggestions We're put forward.
One called for the erection of a great
memorial hall or auditorium and the
other for a memorial arch. Later ad-
vices indicate that sentiment is crys-
tallizing in favor of the memorial
building, as the arch is regarded a!s
obsolete and rather a designation or
obstruction of the view on a thor
oughfare. 1t was further argued that
the arch is an emblem of domination,
and as such always has been favored
by autOcratic nations
I'VE are seeking to bring about per
petual peace and a more sincere
brotherhood of man under the Father
hood of Cod" an advocate of the me-
mortal building argued, and by
adopting the arch We would be en-
phasizinG autocracy by adopting one
OF its embIens. The former Kaiser
OF Germany always has been an ar
dent advocate OF the arch of triumph.
The ancient Huns when returning
from a ruthless raid laden with i'll
gotten plunder always marched be
meath temporary arches of victory
quickly constructed for their recep-
ton. Napoleon also favored the arch,
and this design should have no place
in d Christian nation"
It is understood that the citizens OF
Cleveland have decided in favor of a
memorial building and steps are be-
ing taken to erect a structure that
will cost s1,OOC OOO The idea of an
arch was pooh -poOhed as an obstruc-
tiOn to the view of the pretty streets
