As to Memorial
ARMORY AS

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
In the matter of a memorial for
our soldiers who have made the great
sacrifice. I had a suggestion yester-
day from Mr.. Riddlestorffer which
seems to me wholly appropriate. ]
had suggested to him the desire OF
the Home Defense for an armory OF
drill hall TO meet their requirements
and he at once suggested that 1t take
me form of a memorial to our heroic
dead and thus serve two purposes al
once. :,
Such a structure, however. would
not be confined to these two functions
for its usefulness. but might be avail.
able for any public use. What could
be more fitting than that the memory
of our glorious dead De perpetuated
by o structure dedicated 20 military
use.
Very truly yours,
