Lafayette's Memory
t'tmUnata freffl Pass tin
last Visit to the United States. In 182S,
avowals of filendslilp to France which were
pregnant with significance In the present
crisis were sqeeted with ringing cheers.
Ambassador Jusserand had arrived In
Philadelphia shortly after 1 o'clock and
was escorted to Independence Hall through
crowds which cheered him all along the
way, Behind the automobile which con
veyed him marched the blue-clad veterans
of the Veteran Corps of the First Iteglment
and the khakl-clad youths of the First Iteg
lment, the bayonets of the regiment Kllttcr
Ing In an endless line,
OVATIO.V FOIl JCHSUHANP
An ovation from the flttla giup if
Fundi people, perhaps 200 from th'e city's
French colony, greeted the gray-bent dn
Ambassador as he stepped upon the plat
folin, draped In Fiench and American Hogs,
erected before the south front of Indepen
dence Hall. Smiling, he leaned over the
rolling and warmly grasped the hand nf
Pr. F.rnest l.a Place and Piofessor tllroud,
of tile University of Pennsylvania and fil
ial il College, who headed the delegation
firm the Alliance Fiancalse,
Ambassador Jusseiand spoke after sev
eral distinguished PlilladelphtatiH has made
addi esses. As he rose to his feet, the
ciewd, which numbered several thousand,
tost' In respect. The deathless music of the
"Marseillaise" sounded. The soldiers, with
rifles held at "attention," b! ought n sense
of the battles In which Amu leans will soon
he fighting side by side with French.
Ambassador Jusserand's first wolds
bl ought a cheer
"We aie 'at If for good, you and us!" he
said, and the crowd shouted, lie .icolTed nt
the .Herman boast of "Dei- Tag" nud
prophesied the coming of victory for other
banners. " 'They day' will come, and It Is
not so far as they think!" he challenged.
He spoke of Peale's portrait of t.afa)ette
and found In the allegorical figures which
the artist painted In the background a new
significance, that of France and Ametlcsi
embracing each other In u common put pose
to uphold liberty. "Washington foiesaw
a nation that would 'defend the tight, with
out listening to any older from above, ftotit
emperor or any other man," he declared.
"Lafayette came back to France full of
honors, hut that was not all. He hiought
back with him Ideals which we have ever
since tried to follow and we are doing
better"
It wan Inspiring to think, said the Am
bassador, that today a flag which was the
gift of Philadelphia was being unfurled in
Patls. "It does not carry the stars of all
our glotlous States of today but it it
the flag which I.afajette knew," he said.
"It lepresents a sentiment, And such a
sentiment Is not an abstract thing it Is a
'leal foice, which all the world must ac
cept I It Is a force which all the foes of
liberty, and In paitlcubr tho Central powers
of Kurope, must learn to respect.
"The phrase which shows how nobly you
Americans are tespondlng to thn call of
France In her need, lepaylng whatever debt
America may iiwo to Fiance for Lafayette,
' Is that of (leneral Pershing, f ppermot
, In my mind today ate his words as he bent
his tall figure over the grave of Lafayette.
In, Paris, so soon after his arrival, nnd
aid:
"Lafayette, we ate heie'"
I .Ambassador Jusserand leached Phlladel.
phla at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon to, par
ticipate in the celebration of Lafayette's
birthday. A last-minute change In plans
caused some slight confusion, as be de
trained at West Philadelphia Station In
atead of Broad Slieet Station, as expected.
The Ambassador came from Washington on
the New A'ork express, which does not stop
at Broad street,
He was met at the station by Colonel J.
Campbell tJllmoie, Charles Weaver Bailey,
Victor Fonteneau. the French consul; C
Stuart Patterson and Mrs. Cornelius Steven
sou. The Ambassador and the reception
committee were escorted over Maiket Mtteet
to Broad Street Station by a corps of "motor
cycle policemen. ,
There they were met by the Veteran
Corps of the First iteglment, under acting
Commander Charles Q. Sayre. Here the
parade to escort him to Independence Hull
formed. The Veteran Corps led the line
of march, and behind them Ir. automobile
were the Ambassador and the committee.
Two battalions of the Flist Pennsylvania
Infantry, commanded by Colonel Millard V.
Brown, stood at attention ns the Ambas
sador and his escort passed, As the head
of the column swung from South l'enn
Square Into Broad street the First, led by
their regimental band, fell in, comp'etlng
thn escort,
Thousands of persons thronged Chestnut
stieet waiting for a glimpse of the French
Ambassador, As he pasted lusty cheers
and waving Fiench and American flags
filled the air.

A coal famine, such ns Is tylngfup things fil
In New York, would, In this city, strike first A I
at the water supply as thousands of tons
are used monthly by the pumping stations
and filtration plants. Councils for 1917
allowed $050,000 for coal and this sum was
exhausted two months ago, leaving the city
at the mercy of the dealers.
To save the city from a possible famine,
the Philadelphia and Heading Coal and
Iron Company and the firm d Kmmons
Brothers started "donating" coal to the
city at prices eminently satisfactory to tin

In the fall of 1916 city officials asked
Councils to appropriate at least 1, 000,000
for coal for the water plants. This estl-.
