Among the pines, well back from
the base of Stone Mountaln, Gutzon
Borglum was drawing figures of giant
soldiers upon colossal horses, drawing
them against the background of the
granite bluff with great sweeps of his
muscular arm. The fingers held
neither brush nor chisel, but his soul
held a vision, and as he spoke one saw
the Soldier of the Confederacy stand
forth from the rock and begin the
march which shall continue forever
and a day.
“Not one face upon that monolith,”
sald Mr, Borglum. “Not even the face
of Lee. It's too big a thing for that!
There must be the soldier in the mass
—cavalry, infantry, artillery. They
must be marching on, emerging from
the rock and sweeping upward and
onward!"”
Already the great Confederate me
morial was under way. The summit
of Stone Mountain was cleared of its
loose stones, and steel cables stretched
across {ts perpendicular face. The
cliff, the granite canvas upon which
the Borglum picture will be spread,
was laid off In a checkerboard design,
with each spot 50 feet square. Me
chanics were placing enormous drums,
from which cages on cables will hang
It ils from these cages, suspended
against the face of the mountain, the
workmen will tear away the granite
with electric drills. It is not only a
work of artistry, this titanic memorial
plan; it s a plece of glant engineer
ing, By April the visitor, looking up
ward from the valley, may see the
figures, drawn in white outline, wait
ing for the chisel.
His Soul in the Work.
Gutzon Borglum, whose sculptures
stand In the places of first honor In
the Metropolitan Museum of Art, has
thrown his whole soul into the master
work, the most stupendous undertak
ing faced by any sculptor since the
cave men carved symbols in the walls
of their retreats. He came to Atlanta
at the invitation of the Daughters of
the Confederacy, who had taken a
suggestion from W, H. Terrell, of At
lanta, and conceived a memorial to
the Soldiers of the Sixties upon the
granite monolith, They had thought
of a great stone face—the face of
Robert F. Lee. But when Borglum
saw the mountain he shook his head.
“It means more than that,” he said.
“This must be a monument to the
Spirit of the South, to their ideals,
their sacrifices. Not one leader nor a
group of leaders typifies that. There
must be a symbol of the thousands
upon thousands of the men and wom
en of the Old South.”
It is upon this line the sculptor
dreamed his dre#ms and drafted his
plans. As his visions took shape they
revealed a gray host of Confederate
goldiery, It 1s not to be a continuous
‘eolumn, but a series of groups, emerg
{ng boldly from the mountain here and
there, and sinking back Into the stone.
Mr. Borglum will try to convey the
{mpression of- an army greater than
that visible to the physical eye, an
army concealed within the mountalin's
heart and emerging here and there on
{ts endless march. But there will be
hundreds of figures, some standing
out in bold relief and carved in mi
nutest detail, some mere gray shad
ows, suggested by a touch of the chisel
and fading into the rock.
Great Leaders Figures.
Far in the van will march a group
of lone figures, mounted, and the faces
of these may be the faces of Lee and
Jackson and Stuart. Behind them, a
HEARST’'S SUNDAY AMER.CAN. ATLANIA, GA. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1917.
Gutzon Borglum’s own sketch of how General Jackson’s figure
will appear when engraved on the surface of Stone Mountain.
From the stirrup to the tip of the General’s hat will be fifty feet.
This figure will be one of a group of eleven Confederate leaders.
squadron of cavalry. At another point,
a group of infantry; and last of all,
the artillery. They will be cut in
deep relief, standing well out from the
face of the mountain.
It is not easy to gain an idea of
the size of these filgures unless one
has seen Stone Mountain and fol
lowed with his eye the pointing fin
ger of the sculptor. But the picture
will occupy a frame 878 feet high and
one and one-half miles long! From
the first figure to the last, the dis
tance will be 2,000 feet! The head
of a soldler in the foreground will be
four feet high! The figure of a
mounted man will stand 50 feet in
height!
The cost of the memorial will be
great, but the Daughters of the Con
federacy and the sculptor have confl
dence it will be met, Six thousand
dollars already has been spent upon
the preliminary work. The first group
of figures will cost $200,000. The to
tal cost will be about $1,600,000, and
the work will require ejght years.
But the money will be forthcoming!
It is not an Atlanta project, though
Atlanta, nearest city to the moun
tain, 18 naturally most interested.
Funds are expected from every State
from which a Confederate soldier
went forth to fight for his ideals, and
Mr. Borglum has had pledges of vast
sums from the North.
Spirit of the South.
Gutzon Bofglum sees in this proj
ect an opportunity for America to cre
ate a work of art which will tell the
story of a crucial period in the na
tion’s history and represent a civill
zation which found its flower in the
Confederacy. He is not a Southerner,
but he sees in the spirit of the old
‘South an ideal he would commemo
rate in this colossal carving.
“The value of the memorial lies not
merely in doing honor to the mem
ory of those who fought and sacri
ficed themselves for the South,” he
says. “It will record and preserve’
for all time that culture and civiliza
tion which was pecullarly the South’s
before the war, and which reached
its zenith in the Confederacy, and
from which remains today, perhaps,
the most genuine Americanism of the
nation.
“It will preserve for posterity the
clvilization of the SBouth, just as some
of the temples upon the Acropolis of
Athens, built in the herolc age of
Gireece, a period of less than 30 years,
have fixed Greece upon the pinnacle
of eivilization. That Greece should
‘have left these monuments has proved
of epochal importance. The manner
of the work of Greece, the treatment
of it, fixed indelibly the civillzation of
her people for all the centuries, There
were probably other nations which
reached in their minds the high plane
of civilization and culture of Greece,
but they had not the courage to leave
anv record of it, so that they passed
without the world today knowing.
Rome’s Culture Lost.
“The culture of Rome and {ts civill
zation may have been very great, but
there 1s left to us littie or no evidence
of it In a constructive or creative
gense, and such art as Rome has left
was art—and artists—carried from
Athens. Rome then, In her vanity,
emploved these great ereative abill
ties simply to making portrait busts
of her Caesars,
“Art In America has to date done
little more than Rome did. With a
history more like that of Greece, giv
en to the, pevolo%ent of her ideals,

(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON Feb. 24 —The
probability of a diplomatic break be
tween Germany and the Netherlands

sinkings reported today are expected
to arouse indignation in the Neth
erlands that he Governmen will find
it difficult to withstand.
The Dutch Minister, Chevalier Van
Rappard, did not conceal his anxiety
over the possible outcome.
“The situation i 8 a horrible one,” he
said. “It must soon come to an end.”
