IT does this country a lot of 'good to hold these patrietic celebrations, for unless we are ree minded of it we sometimes forget about those barefoot patriots who left ‘their blood marks behind as they trod the snow and ice at Valley Forge and the innumerable hardships suffered by the founders of this Republic and from whom many of us are descended. Indeed, it must have been a grand and inspiring occasion in Wash- ington when the Nation and the city enter- tained the descendants of those celebrated Ger- man and Frepch officers who helped to give us our independence and liberty while they were on their way to the laying of the corner stone of bee Yorktown Monument. Of especiad interest, of course, were the dis- tinguished guests, the French contingent in- cluding: M. le. Commandant Lichtenstein, represent- ing the President of the French Republic.

He has already paid a visit to the United States as commissioner of France to the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia, “The Vicomte de Noailles belongs to one of the oldest and most distinguished families in France. He is sous lieutenant in the 41st Regl- ment of French infantry, and is the great- grandson of the Vicomte Louis Marie de Noailles who fought in our Revolution. The present Duke de Noailles, the head of the family, is possessed of considerable literary ability, and is a member of the Academy of France. “Lieut. de Sahune is one of the five great- grandsons of Gen. Lafayette, all young men, and peculiarly interesting to Americans. He is a lieutenant in the 20th Dragoons.” Tfll French and German guésts, when they arrived in Washington, were conducted to their quarters, in the Arlington Hotel, which stood for many years on the site now occupied by the Veterans’ Bureau and a part of one of the most historic blocks in the city. The representatives of the German nation were as- ed quarters in the southern wing of the &l. in the Kennedy house, over which was flown during their stay the tricolors of the Fatherland, and the Prussian eagle surmounted the cornice over the private entrance. The French occupied the Johnson house, which stood on the Vermont avenue side of the block near the corner of I street.
