gift was made thousands of francs
poured in from all quarters of France
most of it given in individual contri-

necessary to build the statue on the
Marne it is hoped to get only pennies,
mckels, dimes, quarters and such
small coins, but to get one coin from

Americans who formed national
committee with Thomas w. Lamont

They obtained for the movement
the unqualified approval of such men
