PILLAR OF LIGHT
ETERNAL MEMORIAL TO DEAD. ADDITION TO CENOTAPH. LONDON, June 18. A leading article in the Times states that the recent proposal that' a light, shining upwards, which would never be extinguished, should be added to the cenotaph, captures the imagination. The conception of perpetual light, “through dusk and darkness, bearing a message of enduring memory toward the skies,'’ would accord nobly with the cenotaph’s stark dignity, and would fittingly complete the symbolism of that aiugust memorial. The article acids that the decision must rest with the kith and kin of the glorious dead, both in Britain and in the dominions. It has no doubt that their approval would be given.
