MONUMENT TO FOUR.

Mr W. I. Be-tts, who was with the American Y.M.C.A. in France at the front till invalided home, makes the suggestion that among the many monuments which will undoubtedly be reared to c_onmn=emor:a(te- the I,w.ar,. there should be one group to .perpetu-a-te the ‘memory of four" who Is-ervecl not knowing what they did, or why, unbiassed by any prejudice, unspurred by any desire for glory; who served to the uttermost because it was commanded by Man, whom ‘they loved, and to whom they have ever rendered unthanked and vunrewardéd fealty. ‘This monument should be the only one of its kind in the United States-, and should stand ‘in the capit-a-1, and'should be executed by

America ’s most skilful arltist—a group in recognuition of the services of the dog, the horse, the carrier pigeon, and the mule.
