A Dog's View Of Life
la The White House
Boston, Feb. 7.-?A dog's view of
life in the White House is given in a
letter ostensibly written by "Laddie
Boy," President Harding's Airedale
terrier, to "Tiger," a stage dog, which
will appear in the current issue of the
National Magazine, to be published tomorrow.
The President sent the letter,
which was in reply to one from
'Tiger," to Joe Mitchell Chappie, editor
of the magazine.
"Laddie Boy has made reply," President
Harding wrote, "and I am sending
you a copy herewith for your information,
since you were the bearer
of Tiger's message."
After telling of "a thrill that wagged
my stuh tail violently when I read
of the part you are playing, giving to
the public a dt monslration of the fidelity
which characterizes our lives,'
"Laddie Boy's" letter says:
"Every dog plays his part well
when he is merely his natural self, but
unhappily many a dog is more or '.ess
spoiled by bis environment and associations.
I imagine I am spoiled some
myself. So many people express t.
wish to see me and I shake hands with
so many calleds at the Executive Man
aion that I fear there are some people
who will suspect me of political
inclinations?from what I see of politics
I am sure I have no such aspirations.
"Of course it is exceedingly interesting
and worth while to be in the
center of so many activities of great
importance, but there is an air of ear
ncstness and responsibility about it
which I can see in my chief that I
often long for the good old days back
home.
"Sometimes the chief acts as though
he would like to sit down when he and
I can he lone, and I can look at him
with sympathetic eyes and he fixes his
gaze on me in a grateful sort of way,
as much as to say, 'Well, Laddie Boy,
you and I ai'e real friends, and we
will never cheat each other.'
"When the chief looks at me this
way, I know that he feels that I will
never find fault with him, no matter
what he does, and that I will never be
ungrateful nor unfaithful.
"I realize that a dog's life is lim
itcd in years, hut it is, after all, a
wonderful life to live. I can believe
we leave our impress on our human associates.
I suppose, because of my
temporary assignment to the White
IIous'\ you attribute to me greater
knowledge than I can really claim to
possess. I am only 18 months old
and T d<> not know many other dogs.
I have hoard the chief talk about some
of his dog friends, and I know that he
chooses to he known as the friend of
good dogs.
"Say! talk about fellowship?me
for the company of a small boy who
has boon taught never to be cruel to
animals. That's the assocciation for
Ita* play that strengthens the heart and
_ brightens the spirits. Still, there are
P^at|pr^?aiecable to associate with,
f jdp "When I came to the White House
the mistress gave me A' rather cold
shoulder. I found out afterward it
was because she did not want to become
attached to me and excessively
grieved in ease our association had to
be severed. Since then she has 'fallen'
for me to beat the hand. She lets
me come to the private dining-room
now and then, and I can coax morsels
from the table a whole lot more effectively
than a lot of olTice-seekers
can appeal for jobs. But I mustn't
talk about these things, for fear I
will be giving away some of the White
House secrets.
"I have no doubt you will do a lot
of good. If you can only have the
realization that you are helping to establish
a more kindly consideration of
the animal life of which we are a part
and you can impress your audiences
with the beauty of the friendship of
dogs for human associates who treat
them becomingly, and instill in human
lives romp of (he honesty and fidelity
which characterizes the lives we dogs
live, you will find a compensation in
the good you have done which will surTMlftQ
nnv nthor pynoripripo in vAtiv
life."
The letter says there is no cat to
play with at the White House anr
adds:
"I do not think I am sorry thereat.
There isn't much fun in pursuing and
making war on some other quadruped
as some of our forbears seem to think.
It is really line to dwell in tranquility."
"Laddie Roy" signs himself, "Yours,
with a cordial wag, a friendly sniff
and a joyous greeting."

Washington, Feb. 7.?National Vie
I tory memorial building here com
- memorating the Father of his Coun
try and the sons who defended it ii
i the World War, is expected to be com
pletcd by 192.r? in time for the next in
I augural ceremonies.
1 The present plan for financing th,
t project is through state participation
? each state subscribing a sum of monej
for each citizen who served in thi
i World War. The individuals to b<
- represented by Blue and Gold servic<
. stars, which will form state cluster:
on a huge service flag in the dome ol
- the building.
i Some of the states, it is understood
will issue bonds while others will so
, licit funds by popular subscriptions
f Tennessee has authorized a one hun
5 fired thousand dollar bond issue; Ohi<
- has appointed a state committee t<
? undertake the raising of its fund
- while Maine, Delaware and New York
f and the District of Columbia alreadj
, have guaratiteed hearty cooperation.
In President Harding's recent en
I dorsement of the erection of the build
1 ing, he explained that it was to be a
; practical memorial commemorating
, not oniy tne services ot all American.'
in tlie World war, but perpetuating
1 the memory of George Washington
> and carrying out the educational fca
tures suggested in his will. The Pros
> ident's solicitation of state coopera
i tion in the erection of this nationa
monument, has lent a nation-wide in
> terest to a project begun many year:
ago by the George Washington Me
, morial Association.
In connection with the laying of thi
cornerstone of the George Washing
; ton Victory Memorial, as it is called
on November 14th, in the presence o1
i high government officials, foreign rep
resentatives and the heads of th<
army and navy, President Hardin*
said: "We are come to pay tribute
to the foresight which first encour
i.ged and endowed the institution hen
established an institution which is tr
be alike a monument to those whe
^aerified in a noble cause and a beacor
( to shed afar the light of usefu
. knowledge and grateful understanding
, among men."
, The purpose of the Memorial was
, also announced as a gathering place
( for Americans, where American minds
could meet in fruitful exchanges
Thus, as the President suggested, this
institution of the National Capita
may become, through its varied uses
; a veritable "university of Americar
r citizenship." It will fill a long-fell
I want, for, unhappily, though the citj
r of Washington has become an inter
national meeting place, it is not yet
. equipped with suitable assembly
,! rooms.
When completed, the building wil
. house the headquarters of national
military and patriotic organizations
while spacious rooms will be set apar
I for the exclusive use of the states an<
t territories. Organizations may, upoi
I request and without charge, use thi
auditorium and assembly rooms fo
, the meetings and conventions.
I he building, which originally wa:
known as "the George Washingtoi
j Memorial," but later also designate!
, as the Victory Memorial, was author
ized by an Act of Congress in 1913
j to bo erected by the George Washing
) ton Memorial Association, on the sib
I of the old Pennsylvania Station ii
the Mall, and the spot where Garfieh
? fell. It is to be between 6th and 7tl
t Streets, N. W., on a line with the Nev
National Museum Building. The sanv
net donated the land designated am
provided that the structure be admin
_ istered by the Regents of the Smith
,f sonian Insttiution, who control th
! neighboring buildings,
f The design of the white stone strue
t lure depict a fine colonial building
e with a pillared front facing the south
H and a square ground plan. From th
f broad green Mall, which bisects Wash
,, ington, long low steps lead througl
h the facade of majestic columns to a
imposing lobby, decorated with his
torical mural paintings. The Memoric
n is to be one of four stories in height
e surmounted by a low dome whic
" crown a huge central auditorium.
The main feature of the edifice wil
y be this national auditorium of spa
t eious dimensions, giving the Nation'
s Capital a public meeting place of siz
II ample to sent 10,000 people. Th
ground floor of the hall is in the forr
of a great elipse, its long axis run
ning north and south. Here, there wil
be seats for 6,000 people, while ubov(
an encircling balcony will accommo
a date several thousand more. Ther
5 will be 38,000 square feet of space ii
the main floor, which will contain i
r number of smaller halls and receptioi
", rooms, a spacious stage anu a ueorg
Washington Museum, besides the as
, sembly hall.
, Within the auditorium may be heh
future inaugural receptions, nationa
and international conventions, confer
r cnces and free public concerts. Par
i of the funds now being raised provid<
, for the purchase of a fine organ, an<
an endowment to pay a musician o
national reputation is planned.
Far above the mammoth nssembl
hall will stretch an acoustical domt
three times the diameter of St. Peterf
a* Rome. The high vaulted canop
will be studded with blue and gob
. service stars indicative of the service
rendered by over b,000,000 American
who fought in the World War.
? Besides the oval balcony, a larg
banquet hall is provided in the secom
floor, seating 000, and suitable fo
dinners of national importance. Ther
also Will be rooms on the floor tor the
>% permanent headquarters of military,
patriotic societies, und veterans' as9o|
-elation9. On the third floor, 68 rooms
are designated for the use of states,
and territorial possessions. The fourth
9 floor is arranged for additional offices
I for the use of various societies whose
objects are to promote the welfare of
the country or are of educational influence.
It is planned thnt one room of tl?o
building be devoted to the use of vol
erans of the World War. It will be
endowed and provision will be made
for a museum and a library of World
War history and pictures.
For erection of the building $10,000,000
are sought, more than a h:tlf
million of that sum is already in
hand. For the endowment of the Me(J
morial. from ten to fifteen million
dollars is desired, making a total of
. twenty or twenty-five million dollars.
^ I!ut more than this amount will he
available if the present subscription
plan proves successful.
The scheme for financing the undertaking
is believed to be unique,
eRch being asked to endow a service
> star for every son and daughter who
) served druing the World War. The
rates to be assessed are: A minimum
of $5.00 for each blue service star and
I a minimum of $100.00 for each gold
star of sacrifice.
France has her Pantheon and Ilrit ain
her Westminster, so now America
t may hrve a Victory Memorial, revere,
ing the Father of the Country and his
ideals established in 1770, and comr
n-emorating the valor of the sons of
the country who preserved them in
j 1917. General Pershing, naming the
odihc "a temple of remembrance to
those whose valor made it possible,"
j expressed the hope that "it would also
_ he a monument to that new era of in,
ternationnl relationship ami friendli
ness which alone will guarantee a lasting
pence."
