FOR MEMORIAL TO MEN
WHO FOUGHT THE HUNS
Civic Body Delegates at Meeting
Tonight Expected to Favor an
Arch of Triumph.

The movement to ask Congress to
erect q memorial in Washington in
honor of the men who entered the war
against Germany will take definite
shape at meeting of more than 200
delegates from civic and patriotic or
CARNATIONS in the boardroom of the
District building at o'clock tonight.
Robert n. Harper, chairman of the
memorial committee. said the meeting
tonight in all probability will draw up
a formal petition to be presented to the
House and Senate, asking for the me-
mortal.
Some organizations have taken the
position that the memorial should be
in the form of a convention hall that
would be useful to the former soldiers
as we'll as a monument to- their deeds.
A majority of the civic organiza-
tons who have taken up the me-
mortal idea, however. believe il should
be an arch of triumph across Penn
syivania avenue or some other pronai-
nent thoroughfare. They point out
that IT should be a work of art that
would attract the thousands of visitors
VINO tour the National Capital every
year. Mr.. Harper, chairman of the
committee. is an advocate of the arch
of triumph.
