Supreme Knight James Fla
herty Makes Presentation
Speech at, City of
Metz.
Metz, Alsace-Lorraine, Aug. 21.
(By The Associated Tress.) The
statue of Lafayette, presented to
France by the Knights of Colum
bus, was unveiled today by Supreme
Knight James A. Flaherty of Phila
delphia. The population of Metz
cheered when he drew aside the silk
sheet veiling the statue, which stands
on an eminence dominating the val
ley of the Moselle.
In his speech Mr. Flaherty said:
"This noble figure of a French no
bleman denotes more eloquently
than I can say the nature of this gift
from the Knights of Columbus to
the republic of France in memory of
our common dead, who perished so
that the liberty that Lafayette and
Washington fought for and won
might be preserved to the world."
Commemorate Holy Bond.
Mr. Flaherty ' said that the
Knights of Columbus, as Catholic
citizens of America, desired by this
memorial to commemorate forever
the holy bond of union between
France and America, sealed by the
blood of the French and American
hero dead.
William P. Larkin of New York,
supreme director of the Knights of
Columbus, reviewed the historic re
lations between France and the L'nit
ed States and told of the French
Catholic clergy collecting $6,000,000
to aid the colonies of America.
"We of America can never forget
the pastorals issued by the bishops
of France urging the people of
France to aid America in those try
ing days," he continued. "It is al
together fitting that the Knights of
Columbus should select this historic
spot as the object of their pilgrim
age, for was not . Metz the starting
point of Lafayette's American
career?
"And was it not in Metz that, 100
years afterward within the sacred
precincts of St. Clements college,
Marshal Ferdinand Foch, the hero
of the war, w as laying deep the foun
dations of that character and genius
which in later years stood civiliza
tion in such good stead and saved
France?"
Mr. Larkin said the Knights of
Columbus welcomed this opportun
ity to symbolize the age-old bonds
binding America to France. He de
clared the organization had chosen
Lafayette because he typified pre
eminently the incarnation of
France's fraternal feelings toward
America and because he was a loved
and trusted friend of Washington.

Chicago Police Make
Raid On Spooners In
Parks; Many Arrested
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bc 1mm4 Wtra.
Chicago, Aug. 21. The North park
police have been making life miser
able for automobile spooners in Lin
coln park during the last few days.
According to Captain Charles E.
Shaw, there's entirely too much
spooning in the park and it must
be cut out. "These spooners are get
ting to be a nuisance,' says the cap
tain. "They park their cars in a dark
spot along the curb, put out their
lights and draw the curtains. It's
got to stop."
The police have hauled in as high
as 25 spooners in one night. The
specific charge is that they park
their cars in the park and turn out
their headlights. The police cap
tain has ordered his men to look out
for the spooners without lights, and
they certainly are herding them to
the station in droves.
Tt is admitted, however, that it
will be a hard matter to make any
kind of a charge stick against a
spooner who has his lights lit while
he is making love to his girl in the
park.
