PRINCETON MONUMENT
TO BE UNVEILED JUNE 8
Work of MocMonnies and Has
Cost About $500, 900.

PRINCETON. May 6.--On June 3 Presi-
dent Harding and distinguished coterie
of guests will be present at the dedica-
ton of the Princeton Battle Monument.
This structure, now practically COM
pletei. has been erected in tribute to
George Washington and to his great
victory at Princeton. which proved to be
the turning poirt OF Americas struggle
against the English forces.
The designer of the monument ts
Frederick MacMonnies. Close to $780,
600 has been expended. The site Is at
the head OF the famous Nassau street.
and this situation is such as to give the
passersby an excellent opportunity 10
view the monument.
The sculptured reliefs by MscMonnies
are carved on the front and sides OF the
structure. The screen is devoid OF any
architectural details except a low,
archeI molding. which serves to con-
centrate attention on the relief IL has
an attendant low balustrade which
serves to tie the monument to the
ground. In front s a sunken rectangle
with steps and seats from which the
spectator may view the tribute.
In it's outline the relief presents
figure OF Gen. Washington advancing
on a wearied steed over ice clad ground.
where his small, stalwart band had been
pushed back and almost annihilated.
Behind him Is his miniature army, whose
standa rds only are seen. MacMonnies in
his work had before him the bust OF
Houdon and the well known portrait by
Gilbert Stuart, ard he has given TO
Washington an expression In which are
combined hope, determination and fore
