PRESENTS STATUE 2 OF LAFAYETTE TO FRANCE Metz, France, Aug. 22.—In formally presenting the gift of the ‘statue of Lafayette to France today, Supreme Knight James A. Flaherty said: “This noble figure of a French nobleman de- notes more eloquently than I can suy the nature of this gift from the Knights of Columbus to the Republic of France in memory of our common dead, who per- ished so that the liberty that Lafayette and Washington fought for and Won might be preserved to the world. “Here, by this single figure in bronze, with the base reliefs of American mar- ble, we see Columbus, the patron of the Knights of Columbus, in the act of discovering America, We see President Wilson declaring before the American congress in 1917, that the lost provinces of France must be restored before peace comes to the world, we see Generai Pershing at the tomb of Lafayette and we see Marshal Foch on the fiele of bat- tle prophesying victory to members of our order. to show you that the heart of America beats for France, and that we Knights of Columbus, as Catholic citizens of America, descire by this memorial, to commemorate forever the holy bond of union in the cause ‘of freedom sealed by the blood of our hero dead. In presenting a baton to Marshal Foch in the hall of the College of St. Clement, Supreme Knight Flahegty said: “We make this gift to Marshal Foch as Catholic American citizens ljpcause we, like the rest of the citizehs of the United States, like the rest of enlight- ened mankind, realize the debt human- ity. owes to this grey man of Chrise who led the flower of America’s youth to glorious vietory and whose strong hand has so guided the French nation in its hour of victery that the victory has been made secure and permanent. We hon- or Foch in the name of the failen he- roes of America whose hero he was and in honoring thim we also highly hon- ored and I venture the wish and ex- press this wiah as a most cordial in- vitation, -that the great soldiér of the age will come to America and be the Buest of America, so that all who have heard and blessed his name may share the delight we Knights of Columbus ex- periencegl in greeting him this day and Elving: this token of our admiration and ove.” William P. Larkin, of New York, su- preme director of the Knights of Colum- bus, delivered the oration of the day at the unveiling of the Knights of Colum- bus’ statue of Lafayette here today.

Marshal Ferdinand Foch, the hero of the war, was laying deep the foundations ot that character and genius which in later years stood. civilization in such good stead and saved France. “We Knights of Columbus welcome this opportunity to symbolize the age-old bonds that bind America to France. We have chosen Lafayette because he tyai- fies pre-eminently and beyond 1l oth- ers the incarnation of France's towards America throughout the centuries, be- cause he was a loved and trusted friend of the Father of our Country. “The tie that binds America to France stretches back many years oefors the birth of American freedom; dacq to the days when almost a cen.ury before the landing of the Pilgrim Fatncrs -on Plymouth Rock, Jacquss Cartier, thes master pilot of St. Mal, came to these parts, to be followed by tve saintly and heroic French missionarizs. “May this gift stand forever,” he concluded, “as an endur nd ever 'con- of Amer- w and French fighting men smassing ir way to victory over a common foe, nay it be a constant reminder of the tivih that, nowever, the machisations of enemies shall conspire to magnify the ir- ritations that are as inescapable in the national life; however unworthy con- sideration on the one side or the other shall momentarily obscure the mystic cords of affection that stretch across the waters from the heart of America to the heart of France—this gift of the Knights of Columbus typifying, America s love for France and memordlizing her sons who died under the red and the white and the blue of the Sister repub- lics, is the enduring pledge that Amer- ica is still mindful of the ancient friend- shop and that America never. forgets.” WOMAN'S PARTY SPENT $150,000 FOR RATIFICATION ‘Washington, Aug. 22.—The campaign fication of ‘the suffrage amendment has cost to date $150,000, according to an announcement by party officers.

Stories of a $15, 000,000 fund are perfectly ridiculous. Senator Harding added that the wave of advancing costs and the enfranchise- ment of women had raised the- legiti- mate financial reuirements of a national campaign, .but he declaréd -his party’s money chest contained nothing like the total nznled by his democratic opponent. Asked whether any of the money raised Dby the national committee before the Chicago convention would be used in the campaign, he said it all had been ex- pended by convention time, and that in making its arrangements at Chicago the party treasurer had been compelled to borrow something like a quarter of a million_dollars. The Senator’s attention also ‘was called to Governor Cox's charges that the $1.000 limit fixed by republican mana- gers had been evaded by “dummy” con-! tributions. The Republican nominee again declared he would welcome any proof of the assertion and when he was asked whether the party would return money found to have been given through dummy contributors, he replied: “I think that is rather a far-fetched nhypothesis.” In discussing the added expense of carrying the campaign to the newly en- francahised women, the candidate said his party would not change its cam- paign matchinery materially. on that ac- count. ~Personally, he said, he expected to make “no particular appeal for the votes of the women' “Do not believe, said Senator Harding, “In making a dis- tinction by appealing to either sex or to @ny class as: such.” The nominee declared he did not ex- pect enfranchisement of women tot “change the political complexion of any state’ 'adding that experience in the suffrage states had shdwn. the wisdom of his_opinion. Senator Harding did not’say wheth- er, in any of his four speeches during the coming week, he would make a mors formal reply to the charges of the demo- cratic nominee. He- suggested; however, that he considered the next meve should come from Governor' Cox in reply to the challenge for proof of his assertions. COX ASKS INFORMATION OF REP.

Governor Cox declared that Mr. Hays' statement yesterday regarding = republi- can funds was not.a reply to the govern- or's charges that the republicans were raising a fund of $15,000,000. “I was very much gratified,” said Gov- ernor Cox, “that Mr. Hays made his re- sponse, but as I read his statement it's no denial. He says the irregular pre- liminary ‘estimate’ is '$3 000,000. That doesn’t mean anything. 1 want Mr. Hays to tell us into how many sub-di- visions the country was divided by the republican managers.

P.).—The bolshevik armies northwest of Warsaw, between the Vistula and Prussia, ‘are sending wireless apbeals for help. Whether these troos realize that the Polish northern - drive threatens their communications is uncertain from the in- terecepted messages, which repeatedly haye asked bolshevik headquarters for ammunition and supplies. The bolshevik wireless apparently is not functioning properly, as headquarters repeatedly has requested information concerning these troops, the rear of which is endangered by the Polish advances. The vanguard of this Red army has reached points about 109 kilometres south of Danzig, in what is known as “the corridor, nd so near the Camp Grappe region around Graudenz that the French officers advised the American ty- phus expedition to move to Danzig. This the Americans did. The American consulate, which moved from Warsaw to Graudenz when Warsaw was _threatened, also has proceeded to Danzig, on the advice of the French.

Warsaw today wit- nessed a sight which gave the popula- tion more confidence than any incident since the Polish counter-offensive began.’ To the Northwest of Warsaw They Are in Need of Ammuni- tion and Supplies—Northern Drive of the Poles Threat- ens Their Communications—Population of Warsaw Has sembled From Various Parts of the Front. 3,000 Russian Prisoners, As- of the front end marched to the rear across the Vistula river and into “the city, headed by a Polish guard, led by a mounted sergeant. Then came six bolshevik cannon drawn by skinny horses in rope harness: The horses were the size of Americam Indian ponies. The Russians and their cquipment all were taken early Friday in a haul northwest of Warsaw. Sitting an on ammunition car was.a Soviet nurse in uniform and wearing a lcad piece which once had been white but today had the color of khaki. The Lrocession from the bridge wound it way into Warsaw's principal streets where traffic was blocked for half_an hour. Great crowds of spectators lined the thoroughfares and scemingly thor- oughly enjoyed the sight. The prisoners were indifferent. Soeme were mirthful. Others gazed curiously upon the crowds and the sights of their new surroundings. The nurse sat erect and stolid, staring straight at the baek of the head of the driver of the cart.. In addition to the mamy lolish sold- iers who were acting as guards, peas ants were called out to assist the troops in caring for the bolsheviki. Some of these peasants carried scythes and others huge clubs, made from the limts of oak trees cut along the road. There wert nearly as many peasant guards as sold- lers.

It comes, however, not so much from those having freight for transit as it does from those who desire to make trips to foreign shores on business or pieasure. Steamship accommodations for all lands, despite more than a doublng of pre-wartime tariffs and rigid restric- tions as to passports are at a premium. Representatives in New York and other terminals of passenger-carrying line say that all available accommodations are booked as far as three months ahead. The unfortunate business man faced with the need of making an unexpected trip abroad, is forced to depend on po sible cancellations of previously en- gaged passage on the part of someone who at the last moment is prevented from sailing. On many ships third- class accommodations hold men and wo- men who are financiaily able to travel in the best that the ship affords. It is no infrequent occurrence for a staid ban- ker, or a wealthy head of a large busi- ness house to be found bvoked with the humble alien laborer returning to the land of his birth for a visit. It was recently said by the head of af large line in speaking of tariffs, that in {1914 'a_man could purchase a tourist! ticket including rail fares and hotel ac-| commodations for a (rip half way around the world for the same sum that! he is now compelled to pay for a one- way ticket from New York to a Mediter- ranean port. 3 Records of departures and arrivals as kept here by the Steamship Men's Asso- ciation show that despite the very ap- patent rush, travel is only about half, 28 to number of passengers, what it was, in 1914. In May and June of that year there sailed from American to trans-At- lantic ports 164,300 persons of whom more than 100,000 were classed as third- Class. In the same months of 1920 the outgoing total was 80,323 of whom 50,- 000 were third-class. 0Ot incoming passengers in one month of 1914 there were 105,100 persons. The corresponding month (s year ~showed o arrivals. e Tuen this vear and the dificulty in getting accommodations is accounted for by the fact that thege is needed “Ships, Ships and More Ships!” of the passenger-carrying class.
