WHAT IS A MEMORIAL?

There is a more or less energetic
and prolific propaganda being waged
in newspapers and elsewhere in va
rious parts of the country to direct
public opinion toward the erection o.
buildings as memorial to the soldiers
of our present war In some places
the building suggested takes the form
of an auditorium for great popular
gatherings with, perhaps, the names
of the soldiers on the walls. In some
building or a building for all kind
of public and social functions. The
ostensible reason advanced for the
erection of such a memorial building
is that it is more practical than a
monument. Like great many we'll
meaning but half-considered efforts at
reform. the advocates of this plan
overlook the simple and essential
truth that the only purpose of a
- .aorial is to memorabilia. This is
the sole practical function of
monument and this is just exactly
what no building does or ever can
do. The purpose of a monument is to
suggest military sacrifice and heroism
to tell to future generations a story
of the heroic sacrifices of our sold
iers. Any monument that is properly
designed expresses all these things on
its very face. 1t stands out in the
open where every visitor and every
citizen can see it and read its mean
ing. A building, however handsome,
and however beautiful, carries no
memorial idea to the average observer.
Any one who has taken the trouble
to observe knows what little attention
is paid to tablets and names on the
interior of building and the signiti-
canoe of such a building is in a few
years entirely lost. 1t would soon be
looked on by the average citizen and
visitor merely as another building.
like the postoffice, library. etc. What
building could ever give to future gem
CREATIONS the thrill of inspiration that
is apparent to every beholder when
beautiful expressive monument is seen
and examined We believe that the
boys over there and their parents and
friends will want to see monuments
erected in public places where every
one may read their meaning, rather
than buildings which carry no mean
ing at ALL
We have before us a clipping from
an eastern paper in which one mother
of a soldier who made the supreme
sacrifice admirably expresses the idea
as it will appeal to all who will give
the matter careful thought.

Some Dissatisfaction.
Some dissatisfaction has arisen be-
cause families find 1t difncult to I'M
medately see their sons and relatives
on their arrival at the port OF debarka-
ton. This Is due to the fact that pub
lie health demands that these men be
segregated until they can be disinfect-
ed, in order to prevent the spread OF
diseases, such as typhus. trench fever
and influenza, in the country. Also
practical conditions connected with the
handling and discharge Of large bodies
Of men demand that they be sent after
their disinfection direct to their demo-
billzatIon points.
This all seems hard, and being a
difficult practical problem. Is OF ne
cesslty entirely devoid Of sentiment.
which Is. however, continually impel-
ling those intrusted with the carrying
out of these measures to devise some
way OF showing the soldier the esteem
In which he Is held by the country, and
of satisfying the just pride which his
family possesses In his exploits.
There Is general belief that the
emergency has passed, that the war
Is over. and that there is no reason
for keeping troops in France. The
war Is not over until treaty Of peace
ends 1t.
The emergency cannot be consid-
cred over until the last of our troops
arrive from France. What could we
say to these men and their families II
we demobillzed all troops in this coun-
try and were powerless to care for and
return to their home districts the men
returning from overseas?
Troops must be kept In France for
such army of occupation as may be
decreed by the treaty Of peace, and
for every division held there to clinch
the fruits of victory must be kept
certain proportion Of men for their
supply, to provide measures for their
comfort and for their final embarka-
ton.

Jimmie Wilde. although accepting the

heard.
Jimmie thinks that public, senti-
ment Influenced the decisions in last

and he is so positive of his victory
that he doubts very much whether
Sharkey would even be considered by
English matchmakerS for u trip over

an interview. his first since the bout:
Il understand that all the decisions

you a few questions.
Who landed the cleaner blows?
Who did all the forcing of the fight?
Who was it that did the clinching
and sought the clinches?"
To the first two. 10 be- fair. it must
be stated that Wilde carried the brunt
of the attack and landed by far the
cleaner blows. To the last there can
only be one answer. Sharkey ii was
who sought the clinches and clinched
whenever he could to bring his weight
to bear. Then Wilde continued:
Il know | was not in the best of

NATIONAL LEAGUE
TAKESF|RM STAND
Heavy Fine for Tamperlng
With Players, Expulsion
for Second Offense.

NEW YORK. December 10.-The Ma
tional League yesterday took de-
c.ded stand against tampering with
ball players on rival clubs. At the an
nual meeting at the Waldorf yeSter-
day an amendment was adopted which
provided for fine of $1,000 to be
lowed against Il club owner. manager
Jr official who tampercd with player
on another club. and the drastic
penalty for Il second offenSe viii be
expulsion from the league.
In past seasons the cry of buying
pennants and ~-rccking clubs has filled
the air at various times and the club
owners for some time have been con-
empiatinE the adoption of rule
which would put a stop to the prac-
tice. All the club owners were united
yesterday in the desire to do away
with the objectional procedure. and
when the measure was offered by
President Ebbets of the Brooklyn club
the league promptly adopted it.
This new rule will act as a curb on
disgruntled ball players. In past sea
sons many players have been dissatis
fed with their lot by the action of a
rival club in making overtureS for
their services with promises of more
money if they could get their release
This has often resulted in breaking
up the harmony of clubs and estab-
fishing state of affairs detrimental
to the game. The new rule of the Ma
tional League will serve to put a stop
to il.
The league declared for a ia game
schedule.
Thirty-Day Limit Lifted.
The thirty day limit which was placed
on the training season during war time
was lifted and clubs will now be allowed
six weeks for a training season This
means that the clubs can go south soon
after the middle of February. This ac-
ton was taken on the suggestion of
President Neecll of the Chicago club.
been a strong advocate for longer
training period. and stated last season
that he had to bring his club home from
Florida long before the men were in
proper shape to start the season.
The league elected a new board OF
directors. which includes Charles a.
Stoneham. New York: George w. Grant,
Boston: Barney Dreyfuss, Pittsburgh.
and William Veeck, Chicago. The league
also adopted a new plan as regards the
directorate. Each year from now on
two western clubs and two eastern Or
ganizations will be represented on the
board. The clubs will alternate each
year. Hereafter each club in the league
Will hold a certificate of membership.
which is something new in the National
League.
The league gave a vote of thanks to
President John Heydler for his efficient
work in carrying the older league
through one of the most successful sea
sons of it's career.
President Heydler's annual report was
adopted and included many interesting
comments on the season of 1919.
