Writes

Dallas, Texas, July 17.-Soldiers and
sailors of Texas, Oklahoma Louisiana and
New Mexico who served in the world
war are to be honored by the erection
of permanent memorial building at
Southern Methodist University IN Dallas,
Texas.
Plans for the building call for the con-
struction of the memorial along similar
lines TO the famous West Point Auditor
ium. Three large auditoriums will be
provided for in the memorial with an ag-
gregate seating capacity of over 3,OOO, to-
pether with numerous smaller rooms on
each side of the main auditorium. When
completed the building will furnish long
needed demand for suitable facilities tor
Church and Sunday School gatherings,
conferences, assemblies, lectures, etc.
Dallas being the Methodist center OF the
Southwest, facilities for these purposes
have been very acute.
In honor to the soldiers and sailors,
other than through the name OF the
memorial, bronze tablets will be placed
in the main lobby, giving the names OF
those in the service up to the time the
Armistice was signed, as furnished by
their parents and friends. These tablets
will be placed in two sections: one TOR
those who died the service and the
other for those who have returned or will
return. Already more than 10000 names
are available together with the names and
addresses of their parents who will be
asked to subscribe to the erection OF the
memorial at ten dollars for each name -
be inscribed on the bronze tablets. A
large number of these are from the
Methodist Sunday Schools Of the South
west. The estimated cost Of the struc-
ture is $250.0O0.
All presiding elders of Texas, Okla
homa, and many from Louisiana and
New Mexico met last week in Dollas and
completed plans for the campaign which
will start July 9th and continue until
the fifth week in August. The campaign
will touch nine conferences, sixty-five dis
ricst and $500 charges, and the prop
osition will be placed before Methodist
congregations on Sunday, July 9th.
Headquarters for the four States have
been opened in Dallas.
