Chicago, September 19.-.On behalf of the

thatrit Is proposed to make conspicuous the

itself wherein the American ope may
again show their gratitude and veaerstion

remains now lie humbly inferred in the

ment should be a spontaneous Offering from

lea We believe that by thus directing their
thoughts to this patriotic and inspiring
period OF our history 20 which C neral La

broaden their views on international points

OF the dawning OF the century.
II Is proposed that the school officials of

nize October 10 as Lafayette Day" In the
schools and coleg .s--public and parochial--
of the land when portion OF tla day may
be devoted to exercises appropriate to the
occasion. the story Of our struggle for lib
