Strewn With Fragrant Flowers
PARIS, May 3l.-About 500 persons, COM
posed largely of Americans, were present
at the decoration of the tomb of the Mar
quls de Lafayette in honor of his services
to the cause of American independence.
The remains of the Marquis de LAFAYETTE

Nlncennes, which contains the tombs OF
some OF the oldest families in France, and
also the graves of 300 victims of the
reign of terror

onel Adams and General Read, represent
ing Lafayette post of the Grand Army of
the Republic of New York. They, with
the American embassy and staff and others
who had come to take part in the cere-
mony, first signed their names in book
intended as memento for the Lafayette
post, and then formed in a procession and
marched with uncovered heads to the tomb
of Lafayette. AS Colonel Adams placed
wreaths and baskets of dark blue pansies
on the tomb he said:
We are gathered here in tribute to the
memory oil man who offered his life i'll
the service of American independence At
this hour, on the other side of the Allan
tic, millions of sympathetic citizens are
placing laurcls on the tombs of those who
gave their lives for their country. These
wreaths represent the gratitude of Il grand
and free republic to Lafayette, whose
quick eye caught the first possibilities of
American independence. America, re-
membering the aid given to the American
people by Lafayette, when they were with
out friends or funds, tenders through
Lafayette post the expression of her graft
t,,de."
Here Colonel Adams paused while the
visitors heaped wreaths upon the tomb I'M
til it was covered by the ilowery offerings
Several American flags foated over the
scene.
Francois de Courcclle, greatgrandson of
the Marquis de Lafayette, made reply in
behalf of the family. He referred to the
fidelity with which America honored the
memory of his great ancestor, and added
that the best expression of thanks in be-
half of the family was found in Iafayctte's
own words when bidding farewell to Prcsi-
dent Adams, III September, 1925.
