Success of American RevoIu-
. ton Largely Due to Him,
President Declares in His
Marne Address

MOUNT VERNON, Va, Sept. g.
The dual anniversary of the birth OF
Lafayette and the first battle of the
Marine was celebrated with impress
sive ceremonies Tuesda at the tomb
of Washington.
President Harding, who was UNI
able to be present, sent message
declaring that Americas Indebtedness
to the French soldier was eternal,
and praising the ''dauntless courage"
of American soldiers in the second
battle of the Marine. Similar mes
sages were sent by Secretary of
State Hughes and Myron T. Herrick,
American ambassador to France.
The presidents message said:
ITO General Lafayette in no small
measure the success of the reVolu-
ton was due. With no sordid mo-
tives, but inflamed with ardent SYM
pathy and passionate desire to help
them, he espoused the cause of the
struggling colonies and fastened to
their support. He sought no selfish
end and asked no pay; but found his
reward in the thanks of congress and
the undying affection Of generations
of American citizens whose gratitude
has been, and always will be suitably
shown on all appropriate occasions.
Not only did he render brilliant per-
sonal military service, but through
his instrumentality much needed fl
| nancial assistance and reinforce
| ments of troops were obtained for
the Americans. Our Indebtedness to
him is eternal.
$50 Years Afte-
"Similarly, nearly $50 years after,
these United States, grown to a ma
ton of more than 100,O00,000 free
men, women and children, disclaiming
selves, sent armies of their youth
and gave largely of their wealth that
liberty and that freedom. which
Lafayette cherished and espoused
| should be assured to France. We
are pleased to believe and we know,
| that these armies took no mean part
| in securing that ultimate victory by
| which the integrity of France and
human rights were preserved. BY
| their prowess, their dauntless cour-
| checked the German advance at
| Chateau Thierry and Belleau Wood
| in the second battle of the Marine,
and started that memorable retreat
| of the German hordes which few
| months later ended in final defeat.
1.-THE friendly and cordial rela-
| tons which existed between the
| United States and France do not,
| therefore, rest upon mere Senti-
mentally or selfish interests; but
rather are they built on the firm
| foundation of historic mutual serv-
| ice which cannot be shaken"
Secretary Hughes said:
Secretary Hughes Speaks
1T deem it most fitting that there
should be associated with this cele-
| bration that observance of the ami
versary of the first Battle of the
Marine, for through that battle, turn
| ing seemingly irretrievable retreat
| into a magnificent victory, the pres
| ervation of those great principles of
| human liberty and rights which
Lafayette cherished was ultimately
assured.
"It is further gratifying that in
| this celebration the friendship and
| good will which we entertain for

If you stay awake half

The caffeine of coffee
