TIGER'S BOM SURE TO STIR WRATH OF U.S. Bitter Phrases of Clemenceau on America Makes for Resentments. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripix-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, May 3.—Clemenccau's posthumous, unexpurgated and eagerly awaited book is stirring up a good many resentments here. Bclitting Americas part in the war, sneering at President Wilson, Jeering the United States tor not wiping out the war debts, accusing America of demanding from Prance double the amount borrowed, charging America with having ruined France in peace as Germany had ruined her in war, and so forth and so on through the many bitter pages, the Tiger's vitriolic phrases will not fail to stir up a hornets’ nest on both sides of the Atlantic. The true function of the American troops, which Clemenceau curiously seemed to think he had t.he right to command, was as cannon fodder. Laid Siege to Pershing ‘The English,” he writes, ‘ had unexpectedly and startlingly determined to suppress nine divisions,” (following the annihilation of General Gough's army covering Amien on March 21, 1918) which divisions, “they were in a position to reconstruct" since ‘‘they still had enormous reserves on home soil.” As the British refused to make good their losses out of their own “enormous reserves,” the Tiger ‘‘laid siege to General Pershing” with all his might to get the general to turn over the American solders to Foch as fast as they arrived in France. But, Clemenceau adds, “Pershing, with his tight-lipped smile, putting me of!” Tried to Order Foch So Clemenceau, \ who was min-, istcr of war as wfeil as premier, tried to order Marshal Foch to “order” General Pershing to give in. Foch’s refusal to take this oeder was branded by the Tiger as insubordination, since he considered himself the allied commander-in-chiefs commander and the breach between the two never healed. And as President Poincare sided with Foch, the Tiger promptly added Poincare to his list of contempt ibles. Poincare, says Clemenceau, insisted that Foch was responsible to America for American troops, not to Clemenceau, which insistence the Tiger admits threw him into a rage. "War Practically Over” Thus, the Tiger goes on the war was practically over when the gallant soldiers of Uncle Sam went into action in the Argonne and at St. Mihiel ‘‘hot on the heels of the departing Germans.” Old and doddering, and with an old man’s querulous insistence and repetitions, Clemenceau pra ses the American doughboys unsurpassed courage, but, like a refrain all through his book, he keeps harping on America’s late arrival on the scene, the “fanatical” stand taken by Pershing, and on the war debts, to collect which a mean and materialistic nation was grinding France into the dust. Why win the war against Germany if it was only to be crushed in peace by money-mad Americr . GRANT HEARING ON BILL House Committee to Discuss Move to Amend Naturalization Laws. By Hiri/tyx-Howard Xcwttpaper Alliance WASHINGTON. May 2. The house immigration committee has granted a hearing on the Griffin bill for May 8. Some weeks ago the committee scheduled a hearing, but voted indefinite postponement because of the Taft funeral. Repeated requests from Representative A. J. Griffin <Dem.. N. Y.) and from liberal and religious societies resulted in the decision to allow the hearing. The Griffin bill seeks to amend the naturalization laws and allow persons otherwise eligible to become citizens, even though they oppose war for religious or philosophical reasons. Representative John Fox < Dcm., Tex.) may introduce a counter bill that would tighten the naturalization law. Firecrackers for Blaze Alarm Put nited KNOXVILLE. Tenn., May 2. L. H. Spillman has prepared for fire in his home by buying firecrackers to give the alarm. Spillman, who has a summer home near Maryville, got the idea when he saw some cannon crackers in a country store.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ANTIQUE CRAZE BRINOS WEALTH TO JUNK SHOPS Bargain Prices for Used Furniture Vanish as Demand Grows. Ru Vnited Peru* SAN FRANCISCO, May 2.—McAllister street, home of junk shops and second hand stores, is coming into its own. A craze for the old and rare In furniture struck San Francisco several years ago and the regular

antique stores, five or six blocks above McAllister, prospered mightily while the McAllister street dealers drifted along in much the same old style. All is changed now. Someone discovered that the piles of wrecked chairs and other sadly worn pieces in McAllister street stores sometimes buried highly prized pieces of Chippendale and other treasures produced by early American cabinet makers. Today McAllister street is a mixture of the good and bad and all classes of San Francisco citizenship are represented in the buying that goes on all day. The same store now caters to all classes, dealing in spool beds, oldfashioned high cabinets and ladder back chairs which are much in demand, along with much secondhand rubbish which poor people buy in fitting up temporary living quarters. When McAllister street was “dis-

covered” many bargains could be obtained. Old walnut beds, selling for SIOO to S4OO uptown could be picked up at $lO to S2O each, but it wasn't long until the second-hand dealers investigated and learned why a better class of patrons came their way. The result, of course, was a sharp advance in prices for worth-while pieces of furniture, the installation of cabinet makers to repair old furniture and a search through the mountain region of northern California for relics brought here from New England by the early pioneers. Another phase of the McAllister street prosperity was the sudden value of old grand pianos and tables. It was learned soon that the oldtime chest of drawers was popular with those furnishings small apartments in Colonial style. Made of walnut or mahogany, they were attractive and compact, taking up very little space. These old chests, however, usually

have a marble top and so far as San Francisco is concerned, marble tops are not popular. New wood will not match with old wood, worn rich and smooth by the years, so the hunt for old pieces with old wood became acute. Old grand pianos, it is said, contain enough
