THE MORNING OREGOXlA;X, SFONDAT, JANUARY 10, 1920 CABINET OF PREMIER CLEMEKCEAU QUITS 'Tiger' of France Retires . After 50 Years' Service. MINISTRY IN SINCE 1917 Governor of Alsace Will Respond Today to Poincare's Request to amc New Body. TAKIS. Jan. 18. The cabinet of Premier Clemenceau resigned today. President Poineare tonight asked Alexander Miiierand. governor of Al sace, to form a new cabinet. M. Mii ierand will give his answer at noon Monday. M. .Miiierand said tonight that he had held a Ions: conversation with M. Dcschanel, who gave him his beat wishes for success. President Poineare. after receiving Premier Olemenceau and all the min isters and sub-secretaries and receiv ing their resignations, kept M. Clem enccau three-quarters of an hour. He expressed the gratitude of France for the premier's services and his per sonal appreciation of their excellent relations. PoiDcare YiftitM Derfchanel. President Poineare visited M. Pes chanel at the Bourbon palace to dis cuss the situation and . decide who would be entrusted with forming the cabinet. He then received M. Bour geois at the Elysee pal.-.ce t consult with him regarding the choice of a premier. According to the Oeuvre. M. IJes chanel has informed his friends that M. Miiierand will be the first premier of his term as president. It is be lieved that M. Poineare is acting in close agreement with the president elect with regard to the choice of a premier and that M. iJeschanel will confirm M. Poincare's choice on Feb ruary 17. The Miiierand cabinet will be ap proximately as follows: Premier and foreign minister Alex andre Miiierand. Minister of justice M. L'Hopiteau. Minister of the interior Andre Hon tiorat. Minister of war Raoul Peret. Minister of marine M. Landry. Minister of public instruction Vic tor Bcrard. Minister of commerce M. Isaac. Minister of colonies Albert Sar ra ut. Minister of public works and trans portation Paul Bignon. Minister of labor Paul Jourdain. Special Ponta Propwtfd. M. Miiierand also contemplates the creation of a new ministry to deal with hygiene and social questions which will be entrusted to M. C'ou pout. Another specialist likely to be utilized is Frederic Francois Marsal, director of one of the principal Paris banks, who will probably be asked to be minister of finance. The choice of M. Miiierand as pre mier has created an excellent im pression in parliamentary circles. The outgoing ministry has been in office since November 16, 1917. Georges Kugene Clemenceau, "the Grand Old Man of France," after hav ing served his country in public of fice for almost 50 years, retires to private life with the appointment of the new cabinet of President De schanel. He is credited with contributing as much as, perhaps more than, any other statesman to bringing, about the downfall of Germany by filling France discouraged and war-torn with the invincible spirit of the con oueror. During the war the pressure of af- I fairs of state oftn forced him to alter his sleeping habit, and there were occasions when, for two and I three days at a time, the aged pre mier and minister of war never re moved his clothing, but caught mere snatches of rest of a few minutes' duration on a lounge in his office. In peace time, however, Clemenceau has a less strenuous programme. In summer, as soon as he arises he takes to his garden in the rear of his town apartment, inspecting the flower beds and the shrubbery and trees, pruning off dead branches and pulling weeds. He thus finds rest from the turmoil of politics and the cares of office. Tiger Once In Iew York. Clemenceau, it is not generally known, was formerly a physician. He came to New York in 1865. but abandoned the practice of medicine to teach school at Stamford, Conn. He married an American girl in 1869, Miss Mary Plummer of new York, and returned to France a few years - later. He entered the French national as sembly in 1871, became president of the municipal council of Paris in 1875 and was elected to the chamber of deputies in 1876. In 1887 he declined an invitation of the president of France to form a ministry. In the general wreck of French politicians caused by the Panama scandal of 1892 he failed of re-election to the cham ber, but in 1902 was sent to the sen ate. Meanwhile he had fought six or seven duels and had won fame as a vitriolic writer. From 1906 to 1909 he was premier. He was an anti clerical and fought for the separation of church and state. He led several political fights which resulted in the downfall of as many ministries. ficers accompanying the American war leader is Brigadier-General Fox Conner, who served in France during nearly the entire period of American participation in the war as assistant chief of military operations. Brigadier-General George V. H. Moseley is the second high officer in the party. General Moseley also served throughout the war in France, being in charge of the division of supplies and transportation. General Moseley was taken ill with a cold shortly before his arrival in Portland yesterday and was taken to St. Vin cent's hospital, where he will remain while the party makes the trip to Puget sound, rejoining General Per shing when he passes through here Thursday morning on his way to Cali fornia. General Moseley is an ac quaintance of Bishop Walter T. Sum ner of this city, and Bishop Sumner aided in making arrangements for General Moseley's rest here while the party continues its work: in Wash ington. The third brigadier-general with the party is Malin Craig, who served as chief of staff of the first corps of the third army, and was chief of staff of the army of occupation. The other officers with General Pershing are as follows: Colonel George C. Marshall, aide-de-camp, who served in the division of operations with the first army in France, and after the armistice toured the American camps in France to tell the soldiers what the American ex peditionary forces had accomplished from the time of the arrival of the first soldier in France until the sur render of the Germans: Colonel John C. Quekemeyer, aide-de-camp, who prior to the war was military attache in London and served for a time as laisson officer with the British forces, later becoming aide to Gen eral Pershing in France; Colonel Richard H. Williams, who served in the intelligence department of the first corps of the third army; Colonel Henry Beeuwkes, the medical officer of the party, who was one of the high officers of the inspector-general's de partment in France; Lieutenant CoJonel Edward Bowditch, aide-de camp, who served with General Per shing's staff in France and was a member of the Harbord military mis sion to Armenia, and Captain J. T. Schneider, secretary of the staff. At least three Portland army offi cers, whose acquaintance with Gen eral Pershing runs back to their youthful days at West Point, wel comed the general to Portland yester day They were Colonel G. W. S. Stevens, head of the arm; recruiting service throughout this district and a classmate of General Pershing from 1S82 to 1886: Colonel C. E. Dentler. who has charge of army instruction of'the national guard of Oregon, who was with General Pershing at West Point, but a member of the class of ISSt, and Colonel F. J. Koester. now commanding officer at Vancouver barracks, who was in the class two years behind that of General Pershing and Colonel Stevens. Colonel Stevens and General Per shing greeted each other with the spirit of the class of '88 at the sta tion. "General Pershing, as t remember him, was near the head of his class in popularity, if not in grades," said the colonel, reminisccntly. "He and I plugged along in that great middle class of students." Many other Portland men. officers and men, greeted General Pershing as an acquaintance, and to all the general extended a hearty hand. "I am mighty glad to see you again," was his favorite expression as he grasped the hands of soldiers and former soldiers who had served under or with him in days gone by.

Red Movement, However, De nounced as Menace to U. S.; War Work of West Iiauded. The League of Nations was kept carefully taboo by General Pershing as a "political topic" yesterday, when he granted a brief interview to local newspapermen in the parlor of his private car, just after the return from Vancouver. All other subjects having a political aspect were likewise ruled out. The American army leader has refused to make any comment what ever upon political questions since the beginning of his present tour, and did not break his rule yesterday, al though he briefly condemned the "red" movement and declared that its growth during the last two years was a real menace. "I greatly appreciated the recep tion which Portland people tendered me today," he said. "I felt that it was not so much a tribute to me, as it was the expression of gratitude which the people have for the splen did work which the boys did in France." The hearts of the people of the west seem unusually warm toward those who helped win the war, the general declared, and he praised the' work of the western soldiers in France. His visit yesterday was the first real visit he had ever paid to Oregon, he said, although in 1906 he passed through Portland on his way from Vancouver, B. C, to San Fran cisco. "We greatly appreciated the work of the American newspaper corre spondents in France," he said, in greeting the group of local repre sentatives of the press. "Our only regret was that we were unable to make public as much as we would have liked about the progress of the war. We went as far as we dared in giving the facts to the people at home, but many developments had to be kept from the public for our own protection. That is one reason why we feel that the people throughout the country do not know even yet much as they should about the war. or appreciate as much as they might the wonderful work done by the American boys in France.

"Well, how happy I am to see you." the general faii-iy erred, as he put out his hand and greeted personally every , woman with the well-known uniform t on. They were just as glad as he was and smiled their pleasure. Outside the union station, troops of the 3d Oregon regiment with Major J. .Francis Drake commanding, greeted him. He walked with his staff and members of the reception committee down Sixth street about one-half block, where he stopped and received the salute. Immediately stepping Into their automobiles, which were decorated in the colors and with the four white stars on a red field Indicating the commanding general's car, the parade swung into line with Chief of Police Jenkins, Captain Moore and their re spective staffs and the veteran com pany of the bureau, commanded by Lieutenant West, In charge, leading. Strung alone the line of march, which wound through the city's busi ness section and ever between banks of humanity eager to see General Per shing, were Boy Scouts, who " aug mented the police on duty for the pa rade and lent a picturesque r.ppear ance to the procession. Following the police came the Red Cross band. Officers and men of the Oregon national guard were next in line. General Pershing's car came next, surrounded by an escort of non c.mmissioned officers of the army, navy and marine corps. The remain der of the procession was composed of automobiles, carrying members of the general's staff, the reception commit tee, representatives of the G. A. R. Spanish war veterans, American Le gion and Veterans of Foreign Wars. In the parade the visiting army leaders and members of the welcom ing committee occupied cars as fol lows: Star car.

A man leaped out of the crowd standing on the sidewalk and attacked a policeman, who had pushed him back. He was promptly subdued and taken to headquarters. Tot Prniciita Candy. A feature of unusual interest was that which happened when little Dorothy Hawkins, 1205 East Pine street, stepped from the curb and. hesitating to approach the general's car which was Just passing, stopped in the street, holding out toward him a box of candy. General Pershing saw her and ordered his car halted, called the girl to the running board and stooping, kissed her. She pre sented the box of candy, blushing the while, and then darted back to the curb. Following the parade. General Pershing addressed men of all Amer ican wars. The armory, where this address was given was packed to capacity. Patriotism was the theme and the paying of a high tribute to Oregon service men, the G. A. R. and the American Legion were features. General Pershing shook hands with every one present and addressed a battalion of Hill Military academy. The Oregon Marine band played se lections, through courtesy of Eric V. Hauser.

BERKELEY, Cal.. Jan. 18. Securi ties and other loot valued at more than JIOO.OOU taken from a mail car of the eastern express of the South ern Pacific by a robber near Stege last night, were recovered by a posse of railroad detectives 1 14 miles east of Stege foothills today. Jewelry, checks and money orders were in cluded in the plunaer abandoned by the robber who, officials believe, dis carded everything thai might lead to his identification. That the robbery may total 1200.000 or more is the belief of special agents of the railroad company at work on the case. The exact amount cannot be determined until a check is made of the departure records. Letters and papers scattered over the hills at tracted the attention of the posse this morning in taking up the trail of the robber. Robber's Trail Followed. A force of special agents under direction of Chief Dan O'Connell. head of the railroad police, and deputy sheriffs directed by Sheriff R. R. Reale followed the trail over the hills, picking up the valuables strewn by the fleeing robber. Farmers were warned by telephone 'to be on the lookout for the fugitive but no further trace of him was found. Officers who investigated expressed the belief that the robber entered the mail car hidden in a mail sack and that he cut his way out just before he held up the four clerks. The offi cers said he might have been put aboard by confederates. Iko Carefully Selected. The hold-up occurred at 9:55 o'clock last night while the train was be tween Pullman and Stege. Covering the mail clerks with a revolver, he remarked that he had been in the trenches during the war and wanted some of the government's money. Backing the clerks to the end of the car he selected 32 pieces of regis tered mail with particular care, then with the loot under his arm, he gave a Tailroad man's signal to stop which the engineer obeyed. He disappeared in the darkness. The first supposition of the officers that the robber had escaped in an automobile was given up after the find in the hills, which led them to think he either ran or rode away on horseback.

And as a result the visit of the lesser officers, which, under ordinary circumstances, would have been an eventful occasion in the life of Portland, was passed over as in eclipse from the bright light of the general himself. For the staff which arrived in Portland yesterday with the American army leader was composed of nine officers, all of whom made enviable records tor service in the late war.. Tia party, in addition to General rshing, was composed of three brigadier-generals, four colonels. lieutenant-colonel, a captain, four clerks and four orderlies. (Special.)

As General Pershing started to hit his brisk gait, -for which he is well known, he spied in the honor guard extended greetings on behalf of the people of the state and city. Members of General Pershing's staff stepped off the train and greet ed friends, many of whom they had not seen since they were overseas engaged in the business of war, and in a few minutes General Pershing himself, flanked by Mayor Baker and Governor Olcott, and supported by Messrs. Van Durer and Carey, emerged from within his private of fice on the train. First to greet the general's eyes was a battery of photographers, eager to "shoot" him. Without a qualm, a quaver or hesitation, the general obeyed an "order" from Mayor Baker to "turn to and be shot." Smiling as though he were most happy to reach Portland, which was bathed in the golden sunlight of a beautiful January day, the man with four stars on his shouluer and who commanded more than 2,000.000 men overseas, saluted and came to atten tion. He was uninjured in the -"conflict" of clicking cameras and was soon at liberty to meet the waiting reception committee as a whole. Smile A ceo m pan lea Handshake. General Pershing's eyes fell upon a number of officers whom he had not seen since they left France. He greeted eacn one with the Pershing smile and hearty handshake, and threw in a few words for full meas ure. 'I knew you when you were at Nebraska university," said J. J. Sayre of Port-land, as he stepped up to the general and shook his hand. "Is that so?" queried the general. his eyes flashing with keen delight. By Jove, those Nebraska boys have gone all over the country they're everywhere. I stopped off at Lincoln for a rest, laughed the general, "but I got mighty little." "Well, well," said General Pershing to Major-General Marshall, who was overseas for a time. How glad I a to see you! You are looking better than when I last saw you, general. The climate over there where I saw you last was none too good. And so it went. General Pershing Iane Employs County Agent. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, Jan. IS. (Special.) D. E.
