_ . _ Chateau de Chavaanae.
B’-.r unni aaylignt on the morning
of September 6, 1918, there was
an unusual amount of bustle and
stir in the little town of Aubiere,
a suburb of Clermont-Ferrand, the
capital of the department of Puy-de
Dome, in one of the most historic re
gions of EYance—the ancient province
of Auvergne, says the Christian Sci
ence Monitor. What was the occasion
which produced all this early morning
excitement? Surely no call to battle
or no signal to go over the top, be
cause the actual horrors of the world
war never extended into this sleepy
corner of south-central Fra'nce; and
the American regiment quartered here
abouts was merely passing through
the last stages of its preliminary
training prior to its triumphant mo
ment of action upon the heights of
the Meuse, which occurred during the
last days of the war.
It was the one hundred and sixth
anniversary of the birth of the great
Lafayette, and the regimental band of
Col. Arthur S. Conklin’s Three Hun
dred and Third heavy field artillery
regiment had been invited to share
with a few American army officers
the honor of representing the Amer
ican expeditionary forces—yes, the
United States of America—at the
birthplace and the early home of the
great hero who aided so much in the
work of winning its independence as
a nation. The last bandsman had re
turned from the early breakfast served
in the village square of Aubiere, and
with his instrument had joined the
crowd already climbing into the huge
^trmy motor trucks drawn up before
trie batitPs billet.
As the first rays of the dawn ap
peared, and the procession of Aubiere’s
peasants commenced from trie crooked
alleyways of the town to the surround
ing fields and vineyards, the trucks
moved out of the village and over the
hill toward Clermont.
After the brief ride through the
thoroughfares of the city of Clermont
Ferrand, which was just awakening
to the day’s activities, the bandsmen
arrived at the commodious railway
station where specially reserved cars
on the morning train south awaited
them. After the sun was up the train
ambled out of Clermont and was soon
making its way leisurely through the
colorful Auvergne country.
The Setting Supreme.
The day proved to be perfect, warm,
and clear; the views from the car
windows were entrancing, and the
“mademoiselles” tending the gates at
each crossing waved their greetings
to the groups of young Yankee sol
diers which filled the windows of each
compartment in the train. The land
scape was dotted here and there with
fyhe picturesque red-roofed villages,
from the center of which rose the
gray stone church towers; the coun
tryside seemed to be an immense vine- I
yard filled with endless acres of
grapevines; and the mountain peaks,
now extinct volcanoes, stood out in
hold relief against the clear blue sky
like sentinels. Occasionally an old
castle ruin frowned upon the travelers
from some overhanging cliff or neigh
boring hillside.
After a ride of three hours, the
train passed into the department of
Haute Loire and made a short stop at
Brionde, where many gayly-dressed
country folk with their lunch baskets
boarded the cars. A few moments
later, the train reached the little vil
lage of Paulhaguet, where the order
sounded to detrain. After much hur
rying and scurrying about at the little
way-station, many vehicles of every
sort and description were pressed into
'service for the transportation of the
men *to their destination. Some rode
in autos, some in carriages, and a
bass tuba player with his immense in
strument was obliged to ride on the
front seat of an outlandish coupe, by
the side of the driver. The horse was
not fleet-footed; and the tuba player
reached the Chateau de Lafayette
nearly an hour later than the other
bandsmen, who had watched the great
bell of his brass horn dazzling in the
sun’s rays, slowly making its way up
1 the mountain road several miles be
low.
Fine Ride to Old Castle.
And what a ride it was! what su
perb scenery and glorious country,
picturesque, mountainous! It seemed
difficult to believe that a land of such
overwhelming beauty in summer could
in winter De transformed into a wild,
bleak region known as the Siberia of
France. It was a great day for the
young Americans; a most delightful
diversion from the daily routine in
Aubiere, marching drills and drills in
the uncomfortable gas masks, band re
hearsals, parades, and reviews, and
evening band concerts in the town
square.
The Chateau de Chavagnac Lafay
ette stands upon the crest of a .lofty
eminence commanding a magnificent
view of the beautiful Auvergne coun
try; miles and miles of verdant fields
and woods stretched far away to a
distant horizon flanked with long
ranges of majestic hills and moun
tains. The grounds of the chateau
are spacious and attractive, and the •
little village of Chavagnac adjoins the
estate on one side, while the other
three sides are open to the distant
view. The old castle itself, flanked
on two sides with large round towers,
presents a strikingly medieval ap
pearance; long rows of French win
dows are built across the upper por
tion of the front of the building, and
large portholes are seen on each side
of the small main doorway.
The rustle was built in the four
teenth century, burned in 1701 and re
built, as nearly like the original as
possible, before Lafayette’s birth, on
September 6, 1757. The family rec
ords date back to the year 1000, when '■
“a certain man by the name of Motier
acquired an estate called Villa Faya, 1
and thereafter he became known as
Motier de la Fayette,” according to '■
Martha Foote Crow in her biography -
of Lafayette. j
me great nero is a direct descend
ant of Pons Motier and the noble
Atix Brun de Champetieres who were
married in 1240, and according to the
old parish register in Chavagnae
Lafayette’s full name was Monseig
neur Marie - Joseph - Paul-Yves-Roch
Gilbert Dumotier de Lafayette. Here,
in this grim old castle, the Marquis
de Lafayette spent the first 11 years
of his life; and in later years the he
ro returned to his birthplace after his
triumphant career in America and
lived here for a time with his family.
He instituted various kinds of reforms
on his estate and in the villages ad
joining; and all of the work for the
people of his native town was for
their betterment, their enlightenment,
and emancipation. The peasantry
were greatly attached to him.
The later years of Lafayette were
spent at his wife's estate, La Grange,
40 miles east of Paris.
The latter part of the forenoon of
this anniversary day in 1918 was
spent in looking over the estate and
neighboring village. The bandsmen
were conducted through the chateau,
saw Lafayette’s own room and what
few relics are to be seen, including
a peculiar looking article of furniture
designated as his bathtub. Many of
the American boys wandered through
the quaint, picturesque village, visited
the venerable parish church and pur
chased beautiful lace work made by
the women of the town to send home
to their friends.
Crowds of French people arrived
on the scene with their lunches, mak
ing the affair an out-of-door picnic,
as is their usual custom. At noon a
sumptuous dinner was served to the
bandsmen in the chateau itself, and
in the afternoon the celebration took
place on the broadly-sweeping lawn
in front.
It was a brilliant scene. The band
rendered a splendid concert, and its
leader, Arthur Shepherd, was present
ed with a bouquet. In reply to the
presentation speech Mr. Shepherd
thanked the donors and expressed the
honor which he and his men felt at
being present at such an event. Many
distinguished people, including French
and American army officers, were
there. Later in the day the bands
men were conveyed b&ck to Praul
raguet, where they boarded the train
as the sun was setting over the hills,
and reached Aubiere late in the eve
ning with the beautiful day a never-to
be-forgotten memory.
Kept Guessing.
“When you see a man doing some
fool stunt on the street nowadays,” re
marked the Observer of Events and
Things, “you can never tell whether
he’s doing it on a bet or is working for
some moving-picture concern.”
