patch to La Dacion from Handaye

ship for the plotters.
The concensus in Madrid it is de-
clared. is that the conspiracy was
inspired by patriotic motives par-
ticularly because of dissatisfaction
in Madrid caused by the new tax
laws and in the army because of
♦ he substitution of the merit system
in place of seniority promotion.

Herrick Lauds
U. S. at Statue
Given France
’ / *
ST. NAZAIRE France June 26.—(/P)—The ideals which
st irred Americans upon the entry of the United States into i
the world war are still essential characteristics of the Amer-
ican Nation Ambassador Myron T. Herrick said today in
! an address at the unveiling of a monument commemorating
the landing of the first American troops on French soil nine
! years ago.
Speaking before a great crowd of French and American i
citizens including General John J. Pershing Ambassador
Herrick asserted the belief that the United States had be-
come a nation of materialists was not true.
The monument was designed by Mis. Harry Payne
Whitney and was unveiled <
with impressive ceremonies.
Not since the last troops left in
1919 had tne city seen so many Am-
erican sailor.v marines and high
ranking officers.
Depicts Doughboy
The monument presented to
France or. h.'hnlf of the peopie of the
United States is probably most
striking of the war memorials erccl-
I ed in Europe.
Three hundred feet out in the har-
bor posed on top of a seventy-foot
masonry pillar it depicts a doughboy
in steel helmet standing on the back
of an American eagle and carrying
in his right hand a sword with the
hilt upward in the form of a cross.
Inscribed on the base in gold letters
is the following:
“Here landed June 2f» 1917. con-
voyed by the American navy the first
troops of the American expeditionary
forces crusaders of right and free-
dom with the soldiers of France anil
her allies. Erected by popular con-
tributions from every state of the
American union to commemorate a
great cause and to honor imperish-
able ideals of liberty that unite the
j two republics.”
Nation Proud of Record
Standing within a short distance
of a monument the Ambassador de-
clared that he did not believe the
verdict of history would show that
the United States had ever cringed
when she was weak or had ever been
arrogant when she was strong.
“ Wc look all other peoples today
squarely and frankly in the face;
proud of an unblemished record of
fair dealing with all nations in the
past and calmly determined to con-
tinue this course in the future” the
ambassador said. “We sav to them
as Byron said to Tom Moore:
"Here’s a tear form those that
love me. And a smile for those that
hate and whatever sky’s above ms.
Here’s a heart for any fate.”
Asserting that innuendoes had
been spread that the United States
had been stirred by selfish interests
in entering the war he continued
"every American should take pains
to scotch this lie. The American’s
capacity for willing self sacrifice for
any cause he holds dear was not sud-
denly horn in 1917; it has been his
dominant characteristic for at least
200 years. It is as much alive in our
people today as it was when we de-
clared war and we all know full well
that during the three horrible years
which preceded that date it was
neither dead nor sleeping.”
Mr. Leygues. minister of marine
who accepted the statue on behalf of
the French nation paid tribute to
the American expeditionary force and
its valorous service during the war.
He also expressed the deep admira-
tion and love which France bears to
(leneral Pershing personally.
MOODY EXPLAINS
PRISON PLATFORM
LONGVIEW. Texas June 2«.—<Ah
—Attorney Genera! Dan Moody de-
voted more time than he has usually
given to discussion of the prison
planks of his platform in addressing
an overflow crowd in the district
court room here Friday night. The
meeting was forced to retreat in-
doors by rain and it progressed
while a heavy downpour fell outside.
Aiming 'his remarks particularly
at charges of his luck of experience
to manage the state prison system
he declared he has no intention of
handling it personally hut expects
if elected to delegate that responsi-
bility to capable persons of tried
ability. In reply to assertions by
Janies E. Ferguson that the prison
system is making money Moody de-
clared that it cost $38 a month to
keep a prisoner during 1926 as com-
pared with $33 a month during 1924.
Moo'dy was to close this week’s
itinerary Saturday with an address
at Kaufman in the afternoon and at
j Waxahachie in the evening.
