Washington, May 30—A nation’s tribute to its glorious dead reached its climax here today at the dedication of the memorial erected beside the Potomac river to Abraham Lincoln by his grateful countrymen.
Chief Justice Taft headed the commission which has lavished endless thought on making this stone emblem America’s gratitude worthy of the man whose memory it will perpetuate for Americans always.
President Harding in person accepted the work in the nation’s name.
