Speaks at Luncheon.
The luncheon at the Maytiower Ho-
tel Yesterday was addressed by the
Right Rev. James f. Freeman. Bishop
of the Episcopal diocese of Washing
ten: Newbold Noyes, chairman of the
campaign committee, and Miss Janet
Richards, each of whom made STIR
ring appeals for success OF the patrl'
Otic project.
Admitting that Washington was one
of the latest cities to organize for
perpetuating the memory of its de-
tenders. Bishop Freeman declared
that the city for purely patriotic rea.
sons should see to it that the me-
mortal became reality. There was no
reason whatever, Ire explained, why
the funds needed should not be forth
coming and the campaign crowned
with success. The sentiment of the
National Capital for it's heroes of the
World War. Bishop Freeman pre-
dicted, would pour forth in sufficient
abundance and gratitude to perpetu-
ate that sentiment in the marble
temple.
Says Capital Met Call.
Mr.. Moves spoke briefly, streSsing
the point that the memorial would be
emblematic of the city's love and de-
votion to it's dead. Turning to the
question recently raised that the city
should discharge its duty to the "llv-
ing" flood sufferers in the Mississippi
region, Mr.. Noyes said the capital had
nobly met that call, and should now
respond by carrying the memorial to
success. 1t did not matter, he ex-
planned, that the war ended about 10
years ago; the responsibility of the
city still remained to perpetuate the
memory of its dead, and contributors
would be given three years in which
to- pay their pledges.
Miss Richards sounded a call for
patriotism by giving. Abiding to the
,thrilling flight of. the American flyer,
1indbergh, Miss Richards said that
while Americans were congratulatlng
themselves over the achievement, they
should also let their hearts beat with
sympathy for the flyers of France,
Nungesser and Coli, who tried to cross
the Atlantic, and are yet to be heard
from.
