! of freedom. To Larayette rranco
owed its first declaration OF rights
drawn in the revolution. To him also
1t owed it's tricolored flag, the same
red, white and blue as that which glor-
if1es our own Stars and Stripes under
which Major General Lafayette, U.' 3.
A, fought for the existence OF a ma
ton of American freemen.
In the present struggle for the wrest-
ing of the world from the grip Of an
avid Attila Americans, British and
French are shoulder to shoulder at the
front. How our General Lafayette
would have enthused and gladdened at
the thought! The quarrel of the Amer

was not with the people of England but
with a Hanoverian king who acted
against the counsel of the wisest states
men Of British birth. The instructive
love of fair play which Is implanted In
the Englishman rebelled at the thought
Of a colonial taxation without represen-
tation.
Lafayette's attitude to the English
was revealed when, while visiting his
uncle, the Marquis de Noailles, then
ambassador to the Court Of st. James,
he declined all invitations to visit ar
senals and shipyards, believing that by
50 doing he would be taking an unfair
advantage Of q nation which was to be
his foe through the stupidity Of q rul-
er who could not and would not under
stand.
His home in Paris after the close Of
the war Of the revolution became a
place Of rendezvous for both English
and Americans.
"Since the war Is over and we have
won It," he wrote to General Wash
ington In 1856, II have, confess, an
extreme pleasure in meeting English
people. Either as a Frenchman, or a
soldier, or an American, or a mere in
dividual, I find myself without embar-
rassment in the presence of that proud
nation"
There could have been no gentler
acts Of courtesy than those which he
did when CORVALLIS had surrendered
at Yorktown, for he had the highest
opinion Of the British commander as
a man, and, as he modestly wrote Corn
wallis, "held him II, high esteem"
Long before there were hands
stretched across the sea between this
country and England. Lafayette, the
American general, was doing much to
bring about a reunion of the two ma
tiOns which are brothers Of one blood.
