With no sordid motive, but inflamed with ardent sympathy and a passionate desire to help them lie esDotued the cause of the strug gling colonies and hastened to their support. He sought no selhsh end and asked no pay, but found his re ward in the thanks of congress and the undying affection of generations of American citizens whose gratitude has been and always will be suitably shown on all appropriate occasions. Not only, did he render brilliant personal military service, but through his instrumentality much needed financial assistance and rein forcements of troops were obtained for the Americans. , Our indebted ness to him is eternal." "Similarly, nearly 150 years after, these United States, grown to a na tion of more than 100.000,000 free men, women and children, disclaim ing any material advantages for themselves, sent armies of their youth and gave largely of their wealth, that liberty and that freedom which Lafayette cherished and es poused should be assured to France. Army Helps Franc. "We are pleased, and we know, that these armies took no mean part in securing that ultimate victory by which the integrity ot trance and human rights were prcerved. By their prowess, their dauntless cour age and their resolute valor they checked the German advance ' at Chateau Thierry and Belleau wood in the second battle of the Marne and started that memorable retreat of the German hordes which a few months later ended in final defeat. "The friendly and cordial relation which exist between the United States and France do not therefore rest upon mere sentimentality or selfish interest but rather are they built on the firm foundation of his toric mutual service which cannot be shaken." , Millerand Sends Word. From President Millerand of France came this message: "In ' commemorating the double anniversary of the birth of Lafayette and of the Baftle of the Marne. the American people shows its attach ment! to the principles which have made its independence." Premier Briand sent the follow ing; "Irt the schools of - France . the page in which our history merges with yours are read to the children. They learn therein the gratitude which,' every Frenchman owes to. the American heroes who died at St. MihieJ at Belleau, wood, at Chateau Thierry." Hughes to Insist on U.:S. Rights in Mandates , (Continual Front Face One.) these territories, there shall be no discrimination, or monopolies, and -'that the open door for American commercial enterprises shall be maintained. ; ! :' The capitulatory right provided in some of the mandates until govern ments fully protect , foreign . rights and interests are established, Mr. Huhhcs also suggests should be in cluded in other mandates. Like wise he proposes that the provisions protective of missionaries and their activities be broadened in some of the mandates which they were more narrowly drawn than in others. The note is based upon the policy of asking no territory or other tan gible ' possessions nfor the Uited btatcs, but insisting on the guarantee to America of the same rights as the allied powers and the members of the league of nations in the man dated territories, despite the fact that the United States is not a member of the league. : : Hughes States Stand. The right of the United States to a voice in the disposition of Mesopo tamia and other former Turkish pos sessions, although a state of war be tween America and Turkey never was declared, is based on the reason ing that the victory over Turkey is inseparable from the German vic tory to which the United States contributed. - It was assumed by. Mr. Hughes that the allies do not desire to ignore such fundamental principles or to use mandates as ve hicles of discrimination. The uestjon of oil and other con cessions in Mesopotamia which Great Britain and France have taken steps to control to the exclusion of American enterprise, is not dealt with in the note except in principle. That will come up for discussion later, Mr. Hughes taking the posi tion that the British-owned Turkish Petroleum company has? no valid oil concession in Mesopotamia, - the British claim being based only on a letter written by a Turkish official before the war, stating that such a concession would be granted. The grant never was actually made. Wild Buying Movement in Cotton Advances Prices New York, Sept 6.
