G Members Of the A. E. F. club ar
o contemplating a great memorial exe1
$ else sometime next spring providin
s arrangements they are making fC
S che placement upon the campus of th
: University of some kind of a wa
memorial can be fulfilled by tina
time. They have been working eve.
since last spring 10 Get some sultabl
war souvenir to out on the campus a:
a memorial to those who fought ant
died in the recent world conflict.
In taking up the proposition OF
placing memorial Of the late war on
the campus, the A. E. F. club is pur-
suing resolution adopted at meet
ing last spring. Jake Matters, secre-
tary has been in communication all
summer and fall relating to the ac-
QUESTION of the memorial.
1t was the intention of the club TO
have the memorial on the ground in
time for the Armistice Day exercises
but various involved staps Of proceed
ure retarded action. But they hope to
place the memorial early next spring
by fitting exercises of a memorial
character.
| The decision was made for field
| pieces which saw active service be-
cause of the fact that many of the
club were members of artillery bran
ches of the army in the world war.
In making the decision to leave some
testimonial of the ex-service men of
the last war upon the campus the men
also had in mind the memo rial of the
Civil war and the desirability of adj
ding to the university testimonials Of
national service.
Matter Taken up With Frencn
The matter was first taken up with
Representative French at Washington
D. C. Secretary Matter correspondad
with him first in June. Representa-
tive French expressed himself as cry
favorable to the PLAZA All offered his
support in any way possible. III De-
tober, Representative Addison t.
Smith also took up the matter. The
American Legion was sympathetic
from the first and offered its services. |
Owing to certain technicalities,
Representative French and others ad-
yised the A. E. F. club that no definite |
action would probably be taken last |
summer The suggestion was prof
fered, however, that the matter should |
be taken up in general bill before |
congress as soon as possible.
The club is still vigorously working
to get the memorial. They expected it
all along this fall but have now been
Informed that it will probably be
spring before the field pieces will ar
rive AS soon as they arrive they
will be formally presented to the uni
versity by military exercises.
Inasmuch as the university has had
a vital and prominent interest in the
world war the A. E. F. club feels that
such a memorial as they have decided
upon will be very fitting as lasting
monument to the part played in the
great war by the sons of Idaho and
Veterans of the war.
Maintains Service Men Bureau

llive the memory of the part played
n the war by the service men the A.
