COLONEL VER|F|ES
IUTTER|NG PHRASE
C. {. Stanton Confirms His
Authorship of Lafayette,
We Are Here"

SAN FRANCISCO, January 17.-Col.
G. e. Stanton, U. S. A, retired, who
now lives in this city, modestly accepts
the credit given him by Gen. Pershing
In todays chapter of the Pershing
memoirs as the author of that famous
phrase, Lafayette. we are here!"
Gen. Pershing of course has said re-
peatedly that 1t was not he who uttered
those ringing words, but despite his
efforts to give Col. Stanton the credit
for them the story has persisted that
Pershing was their author.
1.-THE address containing the phrase
was made by me at Pic Pus Cemetery,
Paris, July 4, 1917" Col. Stanton ex-
planned. It have made no attempts at
publicity, and at the time didn't real
lie that any part of my address would
command the widespread attention
given it.
Assigned to Duty.
June e Gen. Pershing sent for me
and said: There will be a celebration
in Paris July in which the American
Expeditionary Forces are expected to
take part The Sons of the American
Revolution have an annual custom Of
placing a wreath upon the tomb of
Lafayette. Their orator will be Brand
Whitlock, United States Minister to
Belgium. 1t is proper that an express
sion be had on behalf Of the American
Expeditionary Forces, and l depute you
for this duty
Il asked the general what he desired
me TO say, and he remarked; You will
be the best judge, and 1t Will please me
greatly If you acquit yourself with
credit
Realizing that the occasion was
memorable, that it was Americas natal
day, that our troops were appearing for
the first time in Paris and that much
interest was conferred in the American
forces, I gave much thought in prepa-
ration for my address. I submitted the
manuscript to Gen. Pershing July /.
General said, here Is what I pro-
pose to say, if it meets your approval;
It will take you about minutes to read,
and me about minutes to deliver, but
] shall commit it to memory and will
do the best that is within me to make
the address acceptable
30. X, ]. j. p"
"Gen. Pershing took the manuscript,
read it carefully, and made no COM
ment. l said to him: DO you ap-
prove?' and his answer was: I would
not change a word, Stanton, under any
circumstances. I think 1t Is splendid. ;
And he added at the bottom of the last
page of my manuscript, o. K, j. J. p
1.-THE expression Lafayette, we are
here was the elimination Of the pero.
ration Of my address, and the original
manuscript verifies the statement that
1t was a part of the address prepared
and uttered by me.
THE reception Of my address was
extremely enthusiastic and seemed 90
genuine that Gen. Pershing was pre-
vailed upon to take the rostrom and
deliver o short address"

NOOLlIlnueQ from cuSG RAGE
ION the other side of this general
view OF the subject, our Ambassador
which I have gained from general con-
versation with him, that all factions
in France are working together har-
moniously. / should add also that
many others hold this same view, OF
course, they all know of the general
complaints and all that, but they do
not regard them as indicating any,
thing serious. have the very highest
regard for Mr.. Sharp and. for what he
says, and what I say is in no way q
criticism of him. He is in every sense
a high-minded and, I believe, efficient
and conscientious official But I am
writing in order that you may also
have the viewpoint of the French COM
mander in chief, whose views I could
not safely mention to any one.
1T must be stated that our Fourth
Of July celebration, with troops par
ticipating, has stirred all France; also
that yesterday the government and the
Chamber of Deputies seem to have had
a very satisfactory understanding, and
the French people are in much better
the above comments on the situation.
morale of the army has improved
lately. So for the present things look
better.
MY own opinion Is that the army,
as it stands today. can hold on until
Spring against any probable effort of
the enemy. but that poverty and dis
content, magnified by the Socialistic
press. especially should the govern
ment fail to continue to back up the
army, may so dishearten the people
and the army that the latter will lose
Its morale and disaster follow.
Lauds Red Cross and Y. M. C. A.
81 shall do everything consistent with
my position to encourage and hearten
both people and soldiery With the
Red Cross now under an organization
that Is working practically under my
very general control, much can be done
to cheer up the soldier In the trenches
and 10 help his family at home during
the coming Winter. The Y. NJ @.
A. Is also working with us in It's own
field toward the same end.

gas tax and the auto license tax and
shove on to the shoulders of the far
mer the payment of the bonds and in
terest. To the enthusiastic supporter
of road bonds this argument sounds
like that classic, IF we had some eggs,
we could have some bacon and eggs,
if we had some bacon. The distrust
of bond issues is deeply rooted in many
rural sections of Minnesota, however,
and the issue is still uncertain.
Unless the legislature, some day in
the future, should do such foolish
and unthinkable thing as to wipe out
the present revenues of the state high
way department, the argument that
the road bonds will never result in
the addition of any ad valorem tax
whatever seems unanswerable. The
saving in maintenance costs alone, will
liguidate the bonds and interest
Labor will get go per cent OF the
S15,4 OO, 900, and labor sorely needs it.
Very interesting and compelling, also,
is the declaration of Mr.. Babcock that
this bond issue will bring Minn:sota's
hard surfaced roads to point where
no other road bonds will ever be
necessary. Mr. Babcock estimates that
after this one bond issue he will be
able to pave $50 to 400 miles each year
out of the regular receipts
Distinguished Guests.
Welcome and distinguished guests,
among others, in the legislature lately,
were Governor Samuel R. Van SAINT,
who came to plead, and that right ef-
fectively, for Grand Army of the
Republic Encampment for st. Paul in
1892, Charles Speed" Holman, who is
a mean flyer and no mean orator, and
Congressman Harold Knutson, who got
some hand-clapping for the freedom
of the PHILIPPINES Thirty years ago
Van SAINT was governor and the
doughty champion of the people who
broke the lance of the Securities Mer-
ger, and before that he was Speaker
of the house. More than 40 years ago
Harold Knutson was slip of boy
and page at a session of the legis-
lature in the old capitol. He came
back last week, not to ask us for
money, but to advise us to refuse it.
Speakers of that mind are rare birds
in these diggings.
