The plan calls for the payment

ton scheme to be levied by Ger
many on properties IN the United
States restored to former German
owners.
The approximate extent of Amer
lean claims against Germany on
properties ct nfiscated or destroyed
as q result Of the war amounts to
slightly moro than $400, 1000. 900. The
approximate extent of German claims
against America for similar proper
ties confisclted or destroyed amount
to about S.eU.00O.000.
Col. Thomas w. Miller, Alien Pro-
perty Custodian, following a confer
ence with President Harding at the
White House, pointed out that the
$400, coo 900 IN German Gains would
diminish to probably less than $780,

finally determined. ..4
Germany would reap in taxes on
restored properties and other ad-
justed claims far more than the
original properties were worth. 1t

critics involved have increased in
value three or four times. With
these taxes, the plan provides. Ger

the high figure of the increased
value of the properties and not on
the original values.
The International Mixed Claims

probably consist of three Americans

by Chief Justice Taft as "a shrine at
which all can worship, an altar upon
which the supreme sacrifice was made
for liberty; a sacred religious refuge
in which those who love country and
love God can find inspiration and re-
pose"
The fifty-seven years during which
the American people have waited for
a national memorial for "thc nations
saviour and its greatest leaders," were
we'll spent, Chief Justice Taft said,
for in the intervening time not only
have "the figures of his contempora-
ries faded, leaving him grandly alone"
but it permitted a generation "instinct
with the growing and deepening per-
ception of the real Lincoln to develop
an art adequate to the expression of
his greatness.'

speaker continued. zone may say with
all reverence, has a Christ-like char

generosity which began reunion.
"Let US forget the treachcry, corrup-

had to combat and recall his wisdom

| He resented no calumnes upon him

had the power and will to serve the

jealousy. He took his advisers from

ism and ignored their plottings. He
dominated them by the sheer great
ness of his intellect. the singleness and
honesty of his purpose, and made them
responsive to his hand for the accom-
plshment of the exalted purpose.
Amid it all there was a gentleness,
kindness, 4 sympathetic sorrow, which
suggests a divine intent to blend mercy
with power in supreme attainment.
Loved His Boys in Army
"This memorial, matchless tribute
that it is, is less for Abraham Lincoln
than for those of us to-day, and for
those who follow after. His surpass
ing compensation would have been in
living. to have his 10000 SORROWS dis
sipated in the rejoicing Of the sue
ceeding half century. He loved his
boys in the army. and would have
reveled in the Great part they played
in more thar a half century of the
pursuit of peace and concord restored.
How he would have been exalted by
the soldiers of the Union after the
mystic chords were touched by the
better angels of our nature How
it would comfort his great soul to
know that the states in the Southland
join sincerely in honoring him and
and have twice since his day joined,
with all the fervor of his own great
heart, in defending the hag How
it would soften his anguish to know
that the South long since came to
realize that a vain assassin robbed
it of its most sincere and potent
friend when it was PROSTATE and
stricken, when Lincoln's sympathy
and understanding would have helped
to heal the wounds and hide the scars
and speed the restoration. How. with
his love for freedom and justice, this
apostle of humanity would have found
100000 to whom he hequeathed re-
union and nationality giving of their
sons and daughters and all their for
tunes to halt the armed march Of
autocracy and preserve civilization,
even as he preserved the Union.
More, how his great American heart
would be aglow to note how resolutcly
we are going on, always on, holding
to constitutional methods, amending
to meet the requirements of a pro
gressive civilization, clinging to ma
jority rule properly restrained, which
is the only true sovereign of a free
people, and working to the fulfllment
of the destiny of the worlds greatest
republic!
"Fifty-seven years ago this people
gave from their ranks, sprung from
their own fiber, this plain man, hold
ing their common ideals. They gave
him first to service of the nation in
the hour of peril, then to their Pan
theon of Fame With them and by
them he is enshrined and exalted
forever.
To-day American gratitude, love and
| appreciation give to Abraham Lincoln
this lone white temple, a pantheon for
him alone"
