and other pioneer explorers of the Niagara district was indorsed by its members. The plans call for the erection of the monument on property to be purchased by the state of New York from De Veaux school for the extension of the Niagara state reservation. This property is located on the lower gorge bank, overlooking the Whirlpool rapids, and the monument will rise higher than the famous Brock monument at Queenstown Heights on the Canadian side. At the top of it will be placed a 25foot statue of La Salle and at its base will be a museum for the display of historical relics of the Niagara Falls Historical society. Standing in the middle of a beautiful park and illuminated with a colored floodlight system the monument wili be an impressive memorial to a great American pioneer and the combination of historic and scenic interest which it will have will make it a place in which all Americans will be interested. Though more than 250 years have passed since La Salle played his part in the making of this country, the story of this “Undespairing Norman,” as one writer ha so aptly called him, is r still an inspiration to all Americans who admire the type of high courage in the face’of many disappointments and the stern refusal to accept defeat which was his. His story has often been told, but few have written of his career better than has the author of the volume, “Crusaders of New France,” in the Yale university press “Chronicles of America” series, William Bennett Munro. From his chapter “La Salle and the Voyageurs,” the following excerpts are taken: Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, like so many others who followed the fleur-de-lis into the recesses of the new continent, was of Norman birth and lineage. Rouen was the town of his nativity; the year 1643 probably the date of his birth. While still in the early twenties he came to Montreal, where he had an older brother, a priest of the Seminary of St. Sulpice. This was in 1666. Through the influence of his brother, no doubt, he received from the seminary a grant of the seigneury at Lachine on the river above the town, and at once began the work of developing this property. . . . In the winter of 1668-1669 he heard from the Indians their story of a great southwestern river, which made its way to the “Vermilion Sea.” The recital quickened the restless strain in his Norman blood. Here, he thought, was the longsought passage to the shores of the Orient, and he determined to follow the river. Having no other means to obtain funds with which to equip an expedition. La Salle sold his seigneury and at once began his preparations. In July, 1669, he set off with a party of about twenty men, some of whom were missionaries sent by the Seminary of St. Sulpice to carry the tidings of faith into the heart of the continent. Up the St. Lawrence and along the south shore of Lake Ontario they went, halting at Ironvequoit bay while La Salle and a few of his followers went overland to the Seneca villages in search of guides. Continuing to Niagara, the party divided and the Sulpicians made their way to the Sault St. Marie, while La Salle with the remainder of the expedition struck out south of Lake Erie and in all probability reached the Ohio by descending one of its branches. ... It is believed that desertions among his followers prevented further progress and that in the winter 1669-1670 La Salle retraced his steps to the lakes. In its main object, the expedition had been a failure. Having exhausted his funds. La Salle had no opportunity of making another trial. He accordingly asked Frontenac (the "Iron Governor” of Canada) for trading privileges at Cataraqui, the site of modern Kingston, where stood the fortified post named after the governor. Upon Frontenac’s recommendation he received in 1674 not only the exclusive right to trade but also a grant of land at Frontenac on condition that he would rebuild the defenses with stone and supply a garrison. The conditions being acceptable the expherer hastened to his new post and was soon engaged in the fur trade upon a considerable scale. La Salle, however, needed more capital than he himself could supply and in 1677 he made a second trip to France with letters from Frontenac to the king and Colbert. He also had the further design of obtaining

authority and funds for another trip of exploration to the West. • . . In Paris he found attentive listeners to his plans (to seek the source of the Mississippi which Mar- — quette and Joliet had reached in 1669 but had not followed far enough to determine its outlet), and even the king's ministers were interested so that rr when La Salle sailed back to Quebec in 1678 he brought a royal decree authorizing him to proceed g with his project. With him came a d rjng spirit 2s who was to be chief lieutenant and faithful com- — panion in the ensuing years. Henri de Tonti. 8 This adventurous soldier was later known among ' the Indians as "Tonti of the Iron Hand." for in his youth he had lost a hand in battie. and in Its stead now wore an artificial one of iron, which he used from time to time with wholesome effect. . . . La Salle's party lost no time in proceeding to Fort Frontenac. Even though the winter was nt hand Hennepin was sent to Niagara with Instructions to build the post and to begin the construction of a vessel so that the Journey westward might be begun with the opening of spring. Later in the winter, La Salle and Tonti joined the party at Niagara, where the fort was completed. Before spring arrived a vessel of about forty-five tons, the largest yet built for service on the lakes, had been constructed. On its prow stood a carved griffin from the armorial bearings of Frontenac, and out of its portholes frowned several small cannon. With the advent of summer Ln Salle and hl« followers went aboard, the sails w< re spread, ami in due course the expedition reached Michilimack - inac, where the Jesuits had already established their most westerly mission. The arrival of the Griffin brought Indians by the hundred who marveled at the "floating fort" and to barter their furs for the trinkets with which La Salle had provided himself. The little vessel then sailed into Lake Michigan and finally dropped anchor in Green bay, where an additional load of beaver skins was put on the deck. With the approach of autumn the return began. La Salle, however, did not accompany his valuable cargo, having a mind to spend the winter in explorations along the Illinois. In September, with many misgivings. he watched the Griffin set sail in charge of a pilot. Then, with the rest of his followers he started southward along the Wisconsin shore. Reaching ♦he mouth of the St. Joseph he struck into the interior to the upper Kankakee. This stream the voyageurs, who numbered about forty in all, descended until they reached the Illinois, which they followed tv the point where Feoria now Stands. Here La Salle’s troubles began in abundance. The Indians endeavored to dissuade him from leading the expedition further, and even his followers began to desert. Chagrined at these Untoward circumstances and on his guard lest the Indians prove openly hostile. La Salle proceeded to secure his position by the erection of a fort to which he gave the name of Creve Coeuer (Broken Heart). Here he left Tonti with the majority of the party while he himself started with five men back to Niagara. His object was in part to get supplies for building a vessel at Fort Creve Coeuer, and in part to learn what had become of the Griffin, for since that vessel had sailed homeward he had hear ! no word from her crew. Proceeding across what is now southern Michigan, La Salle emerged on the shores of the Detroit river. From this point he pushed across the neck of land to Lake Erie, where he built a canoe which brought him to Niagara at Eastertide, 1680. His fears for the fate of the Griffin were now confirmed; the vessel had been lost, and with her, a fortune in furs. Nothing daunted, however. La Salle hurried on to Fort Frontenac and thence with such speed to Montreal that he accomplished the trip from the Illinois to the Ottawa in less than . three months —a feat hitherto unsurpassed in the annals of American exploration. At Montreal the explorer, who once more sought the favor of Frontenac, was provided with equipment at the king’s expense. Within a few months he was again at Fort Frontenac and ready to join Tonti at Creve Coeuer. Just as he was about to depart, however, word came that the Creve Coeuer garrison had mutinied and bad destroyed the post. La Salle’s one hope now was that his faithful lieutenant had held on doggedly and had saved the vessel he had been building. But Tonti in the meantime had made his way with a few followers to Green Bay so that when La Salle reached the . Illinois he found every one gone. Undismayed by this climax to his misfortunes. La Salle nevertheless pushed on down the Illinois and early in December reached Its confluence with the Mississippi. To follow the course of this great stream with the small party which accompanied him seemed however too hazardous an undertaking. La Salle therefore retraced his steps once more and spent the next winter at Fort Miami on the St. Joseph to the southeast of Lake Michigan. In the spring word came to him that Tonti was at Michilimackinac, and thither he hastened to hear from Tonti’s own lips the long tale of disaster. "Any one else,” wrote an eyewitness of the meeting, "would have thrown up his hands and abandoned the enterprise; but far from this, with a firmness and constancy that never had its equal, I saw him more resolved than ever to continue his work and push forward his discovery.” Now that he had caught his first glimpse of the Mississippi, La Salle was determined to persist until he had followed its course to the outlet. Returning with Tonti to Fort Frontenac he replenished his supplies. Tn this same autumn of 1681, with a larger number of followers, the explorer

La Salle nml his followers kept steadily on their way and early tn April reached the spot where the Father of Waters debouches through three chamois into the gulf. Here at the outlet they set up a column with the insignia of France and, ns they took possession of the land in the name of their king, they chnnted In solemn lones the Exaudlat and in the name of God they set up their bann< rs. But the French were short in supplies and could not stay long after the symbols of sovereignty had been raised nloft. lublHim slowly against '.he current, La Salle and his party reached the Illinois early In August. Here (on the famous Starved Rock, near I tica. 11l .) La Salle and Tonti built Fort St Louis, nnd hire they spent the winter. Early in 16'4 La Salle appeared nt the Fr-neh court with elaborate plans f r founding a- ob-nv In the valley of the lower Mississippi. To this project the king gave his assent . . . and by midsummer four ships were ready to set sail for the gulf. Once more. hew< ver. troubles beset La Salle on every hand. Disease broke out on the vessels; the officers quarreled among themselves; the expedition was attacked by the Spaniards and one ship was lost. Not until the end of December was the landing made and th< n not at the Mississippi's m uth byj ^it a £'r to the west of it on the sands of Matagorda bav . . . Finally In the winter of lU7 La Salle with a score of his strongest followers struck out northward, determined to make tin ir way to the lakes where they might find succor. . . . The hardships of the journey without adequate equipment or provisions, and the incessant danger of attack by the Indians, increased petty jealousies Into open mutiny On the 19th of March, 1687, the courageous ami indefatigable La Salle was treacherously assassinated by one of his own party. Here 1n the fastnesses of the Southwest died at the age of forty-four the intrepid explorer of New France, whom Tonti called —perhaps not untruthfully—“one of the greatest men of his age.” FORT NIAGARA BEING RESTORED Old Fort Niagara, a landmark of fierce Eighteenth and Nineteenth century fighting, is being restored. The War department has directed Maj. Gen. James 11. Mcßae, the commanding general. Second Corps area, at Governors island, to assume supervision over the completion of the project calling for the repair of the ancient “Castle” as authorized in the Act of Congress approved February 23, 1927. The “Castle” was originally built by the French 1n 1726 and is located within the walls of an old masonry fort. Fort Niagara is located on a wooded peninsula, extending into Lake Ontario, at the mouth of Niagara river. It was constructed by the French in 1687 and for almost one hundred fifty years British, French, Indian and American troops fought for its possession. In 1725 it was rebuilt by the French and considerably strengthened. Tn 1759 it was captured by the British, who held it until 1796, when it was given up to the Americans. It was recaptured by the British in 1813. but immediately abandoned. The fort is now occupied by the Twenty-eighth infantry, the Cantigny regiment of the First division. During the Revolutionary war Fort Niagara was a constant thorn in the side of the Colonies. It was from the “Castle” that the expeditions that ravaged southern New York and Pennsylvania were directed. The Wyoming, Cherry Valley and Schoharie massacres were all directed there. Even after the signing of peace at the close of the war Great Britain retained Fort Niagara, but relinquished it in 1796. when it* was occupied for the first time by United States troops. The first American flag to fly from the “Castle” after it changed hands was carried through the wilderness by the Empire Loyalist club. * The fort was again under the Cross of St. George during the War of 1812, when a party of British and Indians captured it.—New York Times.

Women Clergy A wireless message from Berlin to the New York Times reported the de--1 cision of the general synod, according I to which women may now enter the clergy in the Evangelical church as long as they remain celibates. The training for the clergy is the same for both sexes. The women will be assigned as teachers to girls’ homes and hospitals, homes for the aged at prisons, and will conduct religious services for children and instruct girls’ Bible classes. Women clergy will not be allowed to perform marriage ceremonies, conduct funeral services, baptize, preach or administer sacrament. Their salary will amount to about three-fourths that of male preachers.
