The corner stone was laid by President JJardiug 1st November, a {ew days after ; ?e Unknown Soldier was honored ;n tlfo capital.

It shows a fourstory square building, so broad as to appear .very low set. The material, like most publie hnililinirs in Washington will, be white stone, and the usual (Sreck cf> feet of a colonnade of pillais is^ used at the front and back. The central feature of the building is the law auditorium seating 7,000 ' with suitable accommodations for national and international gatherings. The lofty dome of this auditorium is do be the Specific memorial to the soldiers, sailors and maritnys of the World war. Bach man who fell in the war is to lie represented by a gold star in the dome, and all others by blue stars. These l.SOO.OOO stars are to be i>ersonal memorials because the initials of the men they represent are to be <m them, and it is planned ** f j that ,by. jj.se*oUa liiugrnav -a nd a'Jleld^ fflass vfsftbrs to tWd-hal! will be able to locate the names of their own War J heroes. The dome of st.^rs is expected to * prove of increasing interest with the passing of time. In a speech at the cornerstone ceremony, Admiral Coontz, chief of naval operations, -refcsred to the dome of stars as the part of the project that appealed do him most.

The United States Government has increased its force of marines guarding the American Legation. Although latest reports say that Ger.

I am a great believer ; in tradition for it is only in the contemplation of .great and noble deeds in the past that we are led to the j srme in the present and the future." Around tjie auditorium are to be n great mtnj1 rooms, all dedicated to l patriotic and national uses. On the tirst floor there will bo smaller meeting halls and two museums which Will contain collections of war trophies and relies, documents, uniforms, 1 guns and muvenirs of famous men. The second floor is to. have a large banquet li.nll where state banquets can be held and distinguished statesmen entertained. There will also be reception rooms and a long row of rooms j where patriotic societies will establish permanent headquarters. Such' organizations as the Colon hi Damos. Sons of Veterans, and Daughters of 1 SI2 are to make use of these rooms, } ard some societies have already sot ! aside funds to furnish and maintain 1 rooms here. j: Above, on the third floor, rp'oms are < to he reserved for each of the states and territoi ies, to he furnished by them and used for state societies and", other stale purposes.

Worst of nil. Washington | ' lacks a suitable auditorium, for meet- j ing.s of large, important bodies, f It is because a "patriotic building" was needed' and because it seemed ' to fulfill, in spirit at least, the almost forgotten desire expressed in Washington's will, that the George Washington Memorial took this form. 1 Tlic first president had a long cherished dream of a national university to stimulate high ideals in the youth of/lie land. In his last message to congress lie urged that hotly to pro- j mote institution^ for the dissemina- | tion of learning. In his will he said I lie regretted that American studentg should go to oilier countries to receive hlghcy learning and foreign ideas nt an impressionable age when they should be imbibing the prinei- j I?les of patriotism.

"Anti" Organization Is After White Robed Hosts. In the days of tho pioneer in the j, great Southwest they fought prairie fli es with Are, says a Tulsa, Ok!a? ells- ; patch. Today, in Texas and Oklahoma, the i K*i Kiux Klaii is luce t<> face v.ith an j "a\i" organization.' Tm Knights of the Visible Empire are gathering strength to oppose the white-shrouded host?the knights of the invisibly realm. The Southwest is splitting into two factions--the klan and anti-klan. Within the last few months the Ku Klux Klan has shewn its smugth- It appears to exist !n every ? immunity. In the big. modern, fast-growing cities of the Southwest it numbers thousands of its "invisible empire " This; has heed proved by parades and demonstrations in such cities as Dallas, Fort Worth, Hciumnnt, Wacd, Oklahoma City, Tulsa nndr other places.

It is not charged that Ll'.e klan had* any pail in the flORgings, 'tar parties' and seizures in wTiich citizens have been dragged from tlieir lipmcs and after suffering acts of violence. have hcen turned loose with a warning to "pack tip and leave." But it is charged that the existence nf the. klan has encouraged masked ! riders' of the niRht to take the law into their own hands and, tdoaking their identity behind hooded masK.s, administer summary jusiiro to citizens classed as "law-bnakers and undesirables." It is with these masked riders who have taken the law into ,their own hands, that the "Knights of the Visible Km pi re" tire to oome to (trips- The new organization, incorporated in Ok- 1 lahoma, believes that all laws should be enforced by constituted nutliority and that the sacred right of trial by jury should not be denied any man, no matter l^nv serious his transgression under the law. The new organization is reported to be growing fast. Whether it will reach the strength necessary to successfully oppose the klan remains to be seen.' The klan has 'grown tremendously, nnfl dts fss'ties have become so acute that one candidate* for ,the United S-ates senate from Texas is campaign- j ing on a Ku Klux platform. And till efforts up to the present to curtail the klan's activities have met with failure. It continues to grow and. to sdiow its strength. ..It We don't waste time;- we waste ourselves; we don't kill time; we kill ourselves; we doji't cheat time; we cheat ourselves. IN INSURRECTION.
