TO HONOR OUR BRAVE FIGHTERS

+, High Pointers who were me1npeFs
of the famous goth division, composed
| of service men from North Carolina
/ south Carolina and Tennessee, Will
F.! he interested to learn that a war me-
| mortal has been selected for Camp
| Wadsworth, S. c., where the men OF
the north and men of the south min
gled prior to sailing for France.
After much consideration the deeds
of the two divisions will be commem-
grated, with a monument done by one
of the men in the 9th (New York dl-
vision), Karl Illava, young sculptor
who enlisted and served throughout
the war.
Mr.. Illava has completed the model
for the monument, in which he DEPICTS
the typical northern youth hiking be-
side type of the south. In the sid
ing figures there has been no attempt
ON the artists part to embellish the
uniforms with an attractlveness that
was lacking as, the men plodded their
dreary way through the monotonous
mud into the first line trenches IN
France.
He has lodged the tendency to
present the fighting American as
spick and span soldier whose clothing
withstood the rigors of the worst cam
paign.
Intead he had modelled two v1rlle
Americans, weary from the long h1ke,
carrying the regular marching equip
ment that every doughboy knows. The
droop of the figures shows the strain
under which they have been working
their way forward-but the determine
ton written on their faces by the
sculptor's hand shows that same de-
termination which the Germans learn
ed so we'll.
The people of Spartanburg will no
doubt be glad of the fact that they
are privileged to have such monu-
ment in that city.
