Fy The Associated Press
METZ, ,<alsace-Lorraine. Aug. IL
The stffue of Lafayette presented to
Frag1e by the knights of Columbus.
wEs unveiled today by Supreme
Knight Flaherty of Philadelphia.
Most of the population OF Metz
cheered when Mr.. Fiaherty drew
aside the silk sheet unveiling the
statue which stands in an eminent
position.
In his speech of presentation Mr..
Flaherty said: This noble figure
of a French nobleman denotes more
eloquently than can say the nature
of this gift in memory Of our COM
mon dead who perished so that the
liberty that Lafayette and Washing
ton fought for and won might be
preserved to the world"
Mr.. Flaherty said the X. of c. as
Catholic citizens of America desired
to commemorate the holy bond OF
union between France and America.
William r. Larkin, of New York,
supreme director of the X. of c., re-
viewed the historical relations be-
tween the two countries and told Of
the French Catholic clergy collect
ing.
I'VE of America can never for
get the pastora1s issued by the bish-
obs of France urging the people TO
aid America in those days.
1T is altogether fitting and ap-
propriate that the K. of G. should
select this spot as the point Of theii
pilgrimage. as Metz was the begin
ming of Lafayette's American ca
reer."
American Ambassador Wallace ir

| situation in describing Lafayette'i
| work to an ideal. What was th'
great apostle of liberty? Think o
! the crime being committed today
he said.
| "The madmen who have clothed
| themselves with brief authority are
| trying to cover a bogusness of plot:
and suppression of the civilized con
science over with recognition Of
their government. Notwithstanding
their crime the great people knowi
| as Russians will come out of th'
darkness into light"
A great company of notable peo-
pie, representing the French and
| Americans, were on the platform
among them Marshal Foch. An i'm
mense American flag brought by the
Americans draped the face of the
statue.
An interesting feature of the cere-
nony was the presentation OF a
baton to Marshal Foch by Supreme
Knight Flaherty. who cordially IN
vIIed Marshal Foch to America.
The marshal was greeted with a
storm of applause. America and
France long fought for liberty" the
marshal declared.
