| November 12, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 53 ACHIEVE MEMORIAL IN TRUE WINNETKA SPIRIT (Continued from page 1) advent of the white men to the vast forests of the northwest. The bronze base of the pole is composed of a series of superimposed motives and on the extreme lower member stand four griffins with raised wings, symbolic animals betokening guardianship in ancient heraldry. These four griffins face the intercardinal points of the compass respectively. The total weight of the bronze used is 3,540 pounds or over one and one-half tons. A gravel walk surrounds the entire monument. Marble Tablets Bear Names At the west of the cenotaph are the five marble tablets on which are in- cised the names of the ten men whose memory is to be perpetuated. Each tablet contains two names. Above the names are ten bronze stars set in the marble and each of these stars is plated with 14 karat gold as in jewelry. The names of the men memorialized are as follows, in the chronological order of their death: 1 - Philip Comfort Starr 2 - Dinsmore Ely 3 - Vincenzio di Georgio 4 - Wesley Magor Juleff 5 - James Edward Hayes 6 - Roswell Hayes Fuller 8 - George Raymond Kelley 9 - Charles Douglas W eart 10 - Fletcher Ladd McCordic Encircling the cenotaph and on a level with the top of the tablet is a carved marble frieze sculptured by Leon Hermant of Chicago. M. Her- mant incidentally was awarded the Legion of Honor by the French Gov- ernment as recognition of his services, in sculpturing the Pasteur monument to be placed in Grant Park, Chicago This frieze tells the story of the sacri- fice commemorated. The first panel represents a young man and beside him stands the figure of a goddess holding aloft a blazing torch, symbol of the flaming ideal which beckons forward. The spirit of this panel is similar to the painting by Bastien le Page, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art of the vision of Joan of Arc where a knight in armor holds aloft a blazing sword in full view of the young peasant girl. The next panel in di- rect succession is the departure. Here a group of women, for the most part, with arms extended, bid farewell to the departing lad. Next a panel of a march or processional similar to the Shaw memorial in Boston, then a large panel of a spirited infantry charge and following this a panel showing the youth holding a flag as he falls in battle. On the north end is a sculp- tured group of angels with the beckon- ing angel of death in the foreground. Lastly, and completing the story of the frieze, the dying youth is in the arms of the angel of déath while in his right hand he clasps the torch rep- resenting the ideal which he has fol- lowed and which has led him forward. Ely's Undying Statement On the east side of the cenotaph and directly under the frieze is carved an inscription, "It is an investment, not a loss, when a man dies for his country." These words were written home by Dinsmore Ely shortly before his death in France. He was the sec- ond man from Winnetka to make the supreme sacrifice, and his words uttered then still ring true in behalf of the great ideal for which he died. The execution of the whole work was under general contract with the Chicago Memorial Studios, Inc. The marble was quarried and cut by the Ross and Republic Quarries of Knox- ville. The stone was set by-O. P. Ol- son of Chicago, and the bronze was modeled and executed by the Chicago Architectural Bronze company. The flag completing the ensemble was do- nated by the architect. The outside dimensions of the monument are sixty feet by sixty feet. The dedication and unveiling takes place at three o'clock in the afternoon of the first Sunday after Armistice Day, November 13, 1927, at which time there will be ap- propriate ceremonies on the Village Green in front of the Memorial. Throughout the progress of build- ing the memorial to date Winnetka Post No. 10 of the American Legion has played an important part--the architect was one of the charter mem- bers of this post and during the war served in a submarine chaser detach- ment operating in European waters.
