 MARSHAL JOFFRE UNVEILS THE MEMORIAL TO LAFAYETTE IN PROSPECT PARK, 



BROOKLYN 



Americans, as long as the United States endures, will reverence the name of Lafayette, 

 who, though inheriting immense wealth and, as head of one of the oldest and most distin- 

 guished families, assured of an influential career in France, deliberately abandoned the ad- 

 vantages of birth t i fight in our country for the liberation of mankind.
