HEROES OF LIBERTY Men of Foreign Birth ‘Who Aided the United States in Their Historic Struggle. ITH the attention of America di- rected toward the European con- flict it is interesting to look back into the history of our own struggles and to note the debt this country owes to several of the nations now at war— particularly to recall the public testi- monials raised to the memories of citi- zens of Europe who gave their efforts toward aiding the United States in her time of trouble. The nation has not been negligent, and today in Washington there are fit- ting and lasting tributes to foreigners whose names are familiar in every American home. Aside from Columbus, to whom the world rather than the nation is debtor, there is the Marquis de Lafayette, co- worker with Washington in the Revolu- iion. A striking statue of him and to his compatriots, Rochambeau, Dupor- tail, de Grasse and D’Estaing, occupies the southwest corner of Lafayette 'square, opposite the White House, and in the southeast corner is another me- morial to Rochambeau. These five, Frenchmen all, and with ithe exception of Duportail, of noble birth, did effective work against the British forces on land and sea. The ‘work of Lafayette—his service at ,Brandy“lne HMonmouth and Yorktown, .and as emissary to France—are too ,well known to need repetition, but the :labors of the other four are not of com- 'mon knowledge. Count Rochambeau did not come to {America until late in the war, when, at ithe head of a French force of about :6,000 sent by Louis XVI to aid Wash- Jington, he took part in the siege of Yorktown and contributed materially ;to the final downfall of British arms in .the colonies. .He was made a marshal jof France in recognition for his serv- 'ices against the English. Duportail-—Louis Lebegue Duportail ;—had seen much service in’the bat- itles in which Lafayette had participat- jed, and at Monmouth played an impor- itant part in the operations. On that jfeld his memory is kept_fresh by a memorial statue. Admiral Count de Grasse and Count D’Estaing both did effective work on the sea, the former particularly in connection with the Yorktown siege. D’Estaing’s field of activities ranged from the Rhode Island coast to West Indian waters, His squadron co-oper- ated with a land force under General Lincoln in an attack upon Savannah ‘which was repulsed by the British and in which another patriot of foreign blood lost his life. Occupying a third corner of Lafay- ette square, and a fitting companion piece to the statues of Lafayette and "Rochambeau, is a splendid memorial to the Prussian, General Baron von Steuben—“Father of the American Army,” he has been called. He, Lafayette and Washington formed an inseparable trio during the dark days of the struggle for inde- pendence, but Von Steuben’s mastery in military - detail and organization molded the Americap troops into a powerful'and victorious army. He has been held up as the guiding 8pirit of the military of the Revolution, the master at strategy and tactics who came second only to Washington as commander of the Continental forces. At Yorktown, when Washington was temporarily absent, Von Steuben re- ceived the offer of surrender from Cornwallis. Unlike most other foreigners who gave their services to America in the Revolution, Von Steuben elected to re- main in the nation he helped to found. He died here in 1794, and lies at rest o Utica, N.
