The famous American sculptor spent many months on a fulltime basis working out the design but declined a fee as a token of his gratitude to France for the education he received at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris.
As America thanks France again next Friday for the Statue of Liberty, the coutry would do well to remember MacMonnies, Quattrocchi and the millions of Americans who contributed more than $300,000 for a monument that glorifies courage but at the same time warns the world from the top of the hill in France that war spawns more grief than glory.
The Statue of Liberty reminds us that all men can and should be free. The Battle of the Marne Memorial reminds us that there is a price for the freedom. The two works of art complement one another.

Mrs. S. R. Geise of Greenville, Mississippi, State President of the Mississippi Branch of the International Order of the King's Daughters and Sons, held a meeting at Weston Hotel in April, 1927.

The Bay St. Louis Circle of King's Daughters and Sons was organized with Mrs. A. F. Fournier as president, Mrs. Sarah A. Power as vice-president, Mrs. W. L. Bourgeois and Mrs. G. Y. Blaize secretary.
After a year's existence giving help and charity to the poor, the Circle wishing to have a wider field for its activities, at the president's suggestion, started an Emergency Hospital. The late Dr. D. H. Ward gave the use of the upper story of his home free of expense for the project.
The hospital was started April, 1938 and the first patient was admitted June 16, 1928. (Sic 1938 ?)
Among the early sincere and hard workers to establish the hospital were Mrs. W. L. Bourgeois, Mrs. Mary Montgomery, Mrs. G. Y. Blaize, Miss Elsie Sport, the late Mrs. Kenneth W. Pepperdine, Mrs. Charles G. Moreau, Mrs. H. Scatvold, Mrs. H. U. Canty, Mrs. Lillie K. Leonhard, Mrs. W. Partridge, Mrs. Sarah A. Power, Mrs. W. Harrison, Mrs. Leo W. Seal, Mrs. Alvah P.

Many gifts were received and furniture repainted by the members. A building fund was started and entertainments of every description were sponsored to raise funds. Letters were sent to all owners of beach homes in Bay St. Louis and Waveland and many responded most generously.
The hospital soon outgrew its first location and a house was rented on Main Street.

Daughters Hospital was completely free of debt. Since its inception, the hospital has treated 4,121 patients --- to September.
