' (APj Prance's monument to the
'American Expeditionary Porce stands
unfinished and dilapidated through
lack of funds to finish the work.
The 330-foot shaft, built at Polnte
de Grave at the mouth of the
lronde river near Bordeaux, where
the first doughboys landed In Prance
and whence Lafayette sailed for Am
erica in 1777, was to have been ded
icated October 32. It was first pro
posed In parliament July 4. 1819, and
the cornerstone was laid by President
Raymond Poincare on Lafayette day,

and Prance. - The United States
raised Its share, but Prance raised
only part of hers and at length asked
the American embassy at Paris to
induce Americans to give the rest.
The embassy rofused, snd the monu
ment stands unfinished, in a badly
neglected state.
The shaft, a pyramid, was to have
been surmounted by a light, but port
authorities of Bordeaux objected
that it would prove a menace to nav
igation by being mistaken, for a
lighthouse.
At the base of the monument
were to have been medallions repre
senting Lafayette's departure and
doughboy'a arrival, but they never

her, was In It- She saw It parked on
the roadside a little further along,
the man bending over the onglne,
as It having .rouble with It. It passed
her again aa she neared town.
And then as she reached the main
street she knew what she would do.
Sanderson, her former city editor,
had a brother who bad rocently pur

She would go In there, write a letter
to John King and have Sanderson

She found Sanderson In his office,
explained that she had been having
prowlers around her house and
wanted to reach this detocllte
friend of hers without anyone's
knowing what she waa doing.
He was eager to help her, took
her Into an Inner cubby-hole he uiril
as an office and loft her there to
write her letter. He returned with

would ask Lon to hire Wakl to

and Wakl, knowing, would watch
the house at the same time.
