CITIES AND STATES VIE WITH
EACH OTHER.
America is: determined to keep alive the memorial of her war dead; that is, far as national memorials are concem. ed. Already tens of millions of dollars have been speas in some of the finest examples of all classes of architecture, and the pinnacle of tribute to the hardes of Decoration Day this year will have been raised to new heights as many states in the Union add to memorials in the form of statues, stadium, buildings and highways.

At the same time, as the tel- lowing list will show, most of the public money nus been spent not only with the idon of remembering those who gave their lives, but to provide memorials which shall bave permanent usfuinoss in the life of the nation, writes the San Fran sisco correspondent of the M.-C. Daily Newa.
