PEROMALITY OF CLEMCEAU IS DESCRIBED BY SIMDS

Continued From Page One. w as then repeating, but I shall not repeat here. ' ."' ' " '""' "We need a man, we need a general, we need a man." he said with sullen intensity. -And Joffre?" I asked, recalling the name of the man. who then still commanded, but whose sun was then sinking rapidly. - . "I have nothing against him." he said sharply, "nothing, but he is not the man, he is not the man." "And Foch?" I inquired, naming my own hero. "But Foch did not arrest his attention. "What of Petaln. then?" I inquired, naming the man who was just coming to world notice as the defender of Verdun and was to succeed to the rank and power of Joffre, before Clemenceau, himself, became premier. "Perhaps, I do not know him," he replied, "but we must have a man." "What of Kitchener?" I querrled. naming the man who then commanded the British armies, and was at the moment in Paris. All of a sudden his whole demeanor changed, he leaned over the emplacement for all the world like a big gun in action. "Kitchener," he said with extreme deliberation, but in a tone of unmis-,- - takable ice Kitchener is a symbol." "A symbol?" I. asked, a little puz- ' tied. "Yes, a symbol. A symbol, is a man about whom some people still believe what was never true." "I Am the Opposition." Here at last was the "Tiger," the Clemenceau of the legend. This was the man. who a few months before, had said of Vivinni, then Premier, "He has spoken, he speaks, he will speak." and Vivinni had fallen together with a whole cabinet of eloquence. The conversation drifted to politics. "What of the opposition?" I asked. "The opposition in the Chamber," 1 explained. "The opposition?" he puzzled over that for a moment and then said with calmness. "But I am the opposition." It was the famous phrase of Louis XIV, "L'etat, e'est Moi," but it was repeated without the smallest note of personal vainglory; it was not a boast, it was a simple statement of fact. "I am the opposition," he responded, "and it is an opposition which wants things done better, that is all." "But those who want peace?" I asked. "Who are they?" he queried. "What would happen, then," I asked, trying a flank movement, "what would happen if some one should advocate peace now, peace without 'Alsace-Lorraine a German peace?" He reflected for a moment and then said, with a softness of voice which was hardly deceptive: . Bulgaria Case of Money. "If anyone should advocate peace now, a German peace, I think he would be shot but it would be done decently oh, very decently." The mtJ words were in my mind now, when Bolo Paeha, prosecuted by the Clemenceau government, had faced a firing squad, for seeking a German peace. "And Calliaux," I asked, naming the man that then, as always, has been the nightmare in the minds of those who love France, and hope to see her victorious, the man of whom Clemenceau had said: "He thinks himself Napoleon." "No," he said, with a calm smile, "I do not fear him." "Will he come back?" I asked. "I do not think so," he responded, and again his voice had new meaning; when Caillaux was jailed to await in prison that trial for treason which Clemenceau has directed and will force. The talk drifted to the Bulgarian disaster, of the previous autumn, and the mistakes and failures of Allied diplomacy in the Balkans. ""Bulgaria was a case of money," he said thoughtfully, "a case of money, and I think, if I had been in power, I should have bought." "And Greece?" . . . But he would not talk of Greece. He had been for years one of the great friends of the Helenic kingdom and the desertion of Greece was to him, patently, in the nature of a personal borrow. "Oh, the unhappy Serbs," he continued, "and we, we French have had to re-equip their army. Yes, we have sent to them the uniforms. The equipment at Corfu. Invaded France has done that, "please remember that," and his eyes lighted again.

Praise for Poilut. "But you must go to Verdun," he said, " you must see our soldiers as they are. 1 go, I go everywhere, I see .them all and you must go and then you can go back to America and tell your countrymen, what France is like, what it is. You must see it for yourself, certainly you must see our soldiers." The conversation became general, and for the next few moments he talked of many things, with the same characteristic energy, impatience,, frankness energy in laying forth the dangers. Impatience of the fools and the blunders which filled his columns in that epoch, and made the arrival of each edition of his paper an event almost as considerable as the communique; frankness, for it is the terrible frankness of the man which has created the Clemenceau of the legends. As he led me to the door, at the close of the audience, I was again struck with the energy and force of the man. In an odd way he reminded me of Colonel Roosevelt, a smaller man, lacking in height and weight by comparison, but yet unmistakably burly and getting over the ground WORTH S30.OO A BOTTLES Wm. Barnes, San Antonio, Tex., writes: "Foley's Honey and Tar Is the best cough remedy In. the world. It has been worth 150.00 a bottle to me. I had th 'flu' followed by pneumonia, which left me weak, with' a persistent cough. I needed rest and sleep, which I was unable to Ret. Sonre one advised Foley's Honey and Tar. I began takingIt that very night.

It cost me only f 1.20 to cure that obstinate cough with Foley's Honey and Tar. Let all who read this latter try Foley's." Tor sale by A. O. j.uken & Co. A a v.

with that same vigorous forward thrust, which Is familiar to all who have seen Colonel Roosevelt in action. Always Liked America. ' At the door he reminded me again of America: "You will see everything and you will go back and tell tho Americans. They must understand. I know If they understand it will be all right. "As for me, I have always liked America, I knew it once but that was very long ago, yes, as I told you, I am an. old man." Looking backward now, after three years, and trying to recall the faces and the words of the men I have met in public life in Britain and France, Lloyd George, Balfour, Poincare, Painlove, I find that even now my recollection of Clemenceau is the clearest. Alone of all ' these men, there was about him a sense of force, of power, a sort of fearlessness alike of phrase and form. What, the man felt, you would be sure he would say, he would say it whether it hurt himself or another, whether it destroyed a ministry or merely labeled an opponent. Again I recall the touch of Roosevelt, a much polished Roosevelt, the master of the phrase and of the manner which the colonel had not. The man who wields a rapier, not a broadsword, who strikes but once, where the colonel battered and pounded until he at last destroyed hi3 foe, sometimes by mere bruising. But in energy, in carelessness, the men are alike and Clemenceau is like Roosevelt. . He Came Back. ' And when I came back to my French friends and told them of the Clemenceau I had met, they laughed at me a little incredulously,' as at one who had insisted on preserving hi3 gods, despite having encountered the fact. And when I asked them if he would not "come back," they one and all said: "Impossible Clemenceau is finished; do you know what he said of of No, decidedly, he is too dangerous; he is too terrible. It is impossible." But now Clemenceau has "come back." The man who said to me, "I am the opposition," is today the government. The man who told me that the politician who talked peace, "surrender peace, German peace," would be shot, "decently," has made good his words and in the lonely and dangerous eminence he now occupies, he has, at the least, the best wishes off all those in Britain and in America, who dared most for France and desire most to see her come unspoiled and restored from this terrible struggle. For the final terrible year of war, Clemenceau has been the incarnation of the will to live in France. In a sense this old man, the Connecticut school teacher of the period when the Civil War was just over in America, was the final hope for France. Vivian!, he of the words, Briand. who once more tried under a great task, Painleve, the scholar, incredibly active was again at Ncyon, and still within range of Rbeims, but when ossimists came from France bringing words of evil I thought always of this man, Clemenceau, as he sat behind his gun emplacement, two years before, shaking the cap, he borrowed from some poillu, who was glad, I doubt not, to lend it, and saying "Once I had doubts about France, once I feared for my countrymen, but now, is it not wonderful, is it not unbelievable!" Survives His Enemies. There are men in whom you believe, once you have seen them. I do not think men would trust Clemenceau as they do Roosevelt, his following will never be made up of those who personally admire or love him. But the thing you must feel about the man is that he will fight it out, he has fought it out, in French politics for nearly half a century. His enemies have passed, he it is, who has survived. And as he was the first premier in France

to make unhesitating answer to Germany, the first since 1870, so he deserved and achieved victory as a man who has no. fear and has never yet surrendered. ,j Today men all over the world are reading with joy of the return to France of her "lost provinces, of French generals in Colmar, in Mmhouse, in Metz, in Strassbourg. Today the glory of the achievement belongs to the soldiers; they have earned it and they should enjoy it And tomorrow and for all other days the fame of Foch will endure, as the conqueror of the German military machine, the man who broke the mighty, if evil tradition of the Prussian war lords. Gave Inconquerable Spirit. But without Clemenceau, Foch could not have triumphed. Without Foch, Petain could not have reorganized the French army following the military defeat and the moral weakening of 1917. When France turned to Clemenceau, all other hope was gone. He came heralded by evil forecasts of a brief ministry and a complete and disastrous failure. He came when treason was abroad and defeatist propaganda general. After he came, there was a period of military disaster, and a growing sense of impending defeat. Who can forget the bitter weeks when day after day Clemenceau appeared in the Chambre still covered with the mud and dust of Flanders, of Picardy, of the He de France, bringing news of defeats only narrowly prevented from becoming disasters? Who will forget it, who knows, the other appearances of this man of seventy-seven on the battle lines, under the heaviest fire, inviting death, men said then? He brought to the army the immediate personal assurance of the support of the civil govetnmenr, he brought to the civil population, to the legislators, the unconquerable spirit of the army. One More Triumph. There was a day when all changed and the Senate and Chambre alike greeted with an applause which had no dissent the leader returning from rescuel Lille, bringing the assurance that Metz and Strassbourg would soon be redeemed. One more triumph was his. Men had debated about the fashion in which Alsace-Lorraine would be restored to France. Clemenceau settled all that by having written in the armistice the provision that Alsace and Lorraine should be reckoned with all other occupied districts, with those of 19 14 and 1915. Thus he made good his ancient pro-

! test, for he was the last survivor of the Deputies, who in 1871, had protested against the cession of the For Shaving, Bathing and Shampooing r The secret of healthy up-to-date shaving is use of Cuticura Soap, the "Cuticura Way".

provinces, denied the right of the legislature to make such a surrender,

J proclaimed It Illegal and unjustifiable. In the language of the armistice he made good his protest in 1871; the provinces were returned to French soil. Rarely in human history has it been given one man to represent bis country at a supreme hour in its history and bo to represent it that his own personality and figure became the expression of a nation, which itself was the object of world admiration. Such was and is the achievement of George Clemenceau. EXTRA DRY MEASURE FAVORED BY KNAPP Representative Knapp of Wayne county, who is a member of the public morals committee, . to which the Wright "extra dry" bill was referred, said today that the bill contains no prohibitive features other than those found in the federal law. His committee, without the slightest hesitancy, unanimously endorsed and reported favorably on the measure which will give Indiana the driest law known in the history of temperance legislation. Knapp believes the Wright bill will merely govern the state until the federal law becomes effective and that soft drinks, such as soda, grape juice and like beverages, will not be affected. The Wright bill will strike hard at soft drinks that contain enough "pazaza" to tease the drinker Jnto believing that the "days of yore" have returned. Knapp believes the bill will go through the house and senate without trouble. "The law of worthy effort, the law of service for a worthy end, without regard to whether it brings pleasure or pain, is the only right law of life, whether for man or woman. Theodore Roosevelt
