President Cpolidge invited to dedicate the brllding as a national shrine and plans are also being made by the commission for a series of historical pageants and for other celebrations at various places In Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Illinois where events of Clark's expedition took place. Historians have been almost unanimous In the belief that never bus the proverbial Ingratitude of republics been belter illustrated than In the Cjtise Jf George Itogers Clark. For nil that Ills achievement placed the nation in his everlasting debt, that nation allowed him to die in poverty und neglect. It would have been no more than that one of the states carved out of the territory which he won should bear his name. But none of them does. Streets, towns nnd counties In some of the states bear his name, but, considering his historical Importance, the number of monuments erected to his memory Is surprisingly few.

It is eminently Citing, too, that have appeared recently the most there should complete nnd authoritative biography of this military genius which has yet been written. That Is the book, "Cieorge Rogers Clark," by Temple Hartley, published by I'laushton-Mlfllicompany of Boston. Clark's outstanding early military services hate often bpen described; but later ones, hnrdly less important and demanding f;:r more of patriotic sacrifice, have rarely or never been noticed. It Is the record of these services which forms a large part of Mr. P'dley's book. It Is shameful enough that the United States should have allowed a man to whom It owed so much to die In want. It Is shameful enough that he should hnve been so won forgotten by those who have best n cause to Hut ians remember hint. even more shameful that some histor- It is have cruelly misrepresented Clark nnd Ms memory because us an embittered old man lie fell Into had huhlt.s nnd allowed his nnroe to become associated with certain projects dofamcd which vhIuo Mime bordered upon of Mr. Pulley's book Is his of these blunders, especially IIim plot by that Wilkinson, cgalnst It treason.

Although the time for Its semicentennial celebrations are more than a year awuy, plans are already being made for their observance on a big scale. Imliaua and Illinois are taking the lead in these plans because the events to be commemorated took plaee upon their soil, but the citizens of ctber states lu the Old Northwest Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan mid Wisconsin are Just as keenly because those events are a part of their heritage, too.

"jfmm lmrarxy Press ' For the achievements of Washington and Clark are the more remarkable when one considers the Inadequate means with which they were accomplished.

What they lacked In numbers at their disposal was more than ma da up for by the force of their personalities which caused mn to follow them through unheard-o- f privations and against what seemed to be overwhelming odds: Truly were George Washington and George lingers Clark leaders of men in the truest sense of the word. If Valley Forge was Wellington's Gethsemane, where he suffered agony of soul at the sight of his starving men leaving their footprints on the snow, then the Drowned Lands of the Wabash was a Via Cruel 3 for CInrk along which he led a shivering, exhausted proup of ruen in whom the spark of life was all but e:;tinct. In some respects the greatness of Clark as a leader that of Washington. The Continentals who enlisted under Washington had more lc gain nnd less to lose than the frontiersmen of Kentucky who cast their lot with Clark. If the fo.ri.er won a great victory, the whole Atlantic fceuboard would ring with their valor and their mtht. If they lost, a British prison camp bad though that frequently was was the worst that confronted them and there was always the possibility of parole or exchange. If Clark's borderers won, it would be weks before news of the victory could reach the colonies nbd even then, so little did the region mean to the average man of Massachusetts or Pennsylvania or Virginia, the victory would be almost unnoticed.
