NEW YORK, Nov. 18. The French
steamer, Paris, on which Georges
Clemenceau is coming to America,
passed Sandy Hook at 2:20 o'clock
this morning.
PARIS, Nov. 14. Georges Clem
enceau's journey to the United
States continues to be an, all-absorbing
topic of popular discussion. Es
timates of its consequences made
Iby leaders of thought throughout
the republic embrace the following:
Pertinax, political leader writer.
Echo de Paris If Clenenceau
croKSMi thv Atlantic, tn stndv Amer
ica and make known the France of
today the France essentially pa
cific, laborious, sound and moderate
no one will spare his full ap
proval. With the authority he has
acquired, the incomparable services
lie has rendered, to the allied- and
associated powers, Clemenceau is
qualified to speak in the name of
his country, and his testimony 1
one that no one can afford toneg
lect.
But If Clemenceau goes to Amer
lea to try to obtain a revival of the
fundamental principle on which the
whole treaty of Versaluies is oasea
the principle of regular, constant
and daily intervention by America
In European affairs his undertak
ing is of quite a different order and
one which must be subjected to
serious criticism. Personally,- I am
convinced that such regular inter
vention by America in European
affairs is against the general direc
tion and entire history of the United
States. It is against the trend of
public opinion in the new world,
It would reopen the unpleasant dis
cussion provoked by lnon-ratifica
tion of the treaty of Versaillies and
In the end could only undermine
Franco-American friendship.
Great Orator, Says Royalist.
Leon Daudet, royalist deputy, edi
tor L'Action Francaise I consider
' that M. Clemenceau, by arresting
the traitor Joseph Caillaux, a Ger
man agent and leader of the ma.
Jority in the chamber in 1914, made
victory possible.
i As a Frenchman I am infinitely
grateful to him for this, only re
gretting that he did not have Jo
seph Caillaux shot,
I also think that M. Clemenceau
Is the premier orator of our time,
His naturalness (which is the great
Bift in oratory), his soberness and
direct orce place him far above all
nis rivals in this difficult art.
Unfortunately M. Clemenceau be
longs to the "romantic revolution
ary" generation of 1840. He has the
democratic prejudice of that epoch,
and consequently of the "stupid 19th
century." I saw him for the first
time in Victor Hugo's salon. That
explains why, with Mr. Wilson and
Lloyd George, he made a failure of
the treaty of peace. His error
their error was the error of an
epoch. The world today is suffering
the consequences. Germany should
nave been dismembered and ren
dered incapable of further harm.
That was the policy which Maurras,
Bainville and myself upheld in the
L'Action Francaise right from the
armistice.
As lecturer on the war M. Clem
enceau will render us service in
America. As the apostle of a lame
Treaty he will not render us service
In any case, I consider that deeds
are a greater aid to mutual under
standing among nations than lec
tures. France will never forget
"""'"s iieip in isi8, the admir
able spirit and tact of that great
and generous nation. That is en
graved in the hearts and minds of
Kit
j Mme, Sarah 'Adores" Tlsrer.
Mme. Sarah Bernhardt, the ere t
actress I adore Clemenceau. He is
o. .green orator and a ereat n-a.tnini
He rendered France grand eervicrf,
curing the war and th Frnoh nw,
pie, who owe Mm eternal gratitude
for tihem, are far too inclined to for-
sex an max ne aid to achieve vic
tory. I think and hope that Clem
enceau win win back American sym-
ipaJthy for France. The only fault
Otemenceau made was to fail t rv
Bist Lloyd George during the peace
negotiations. He allowed himself
e jocaeryed, by the British pre
nier. X,loyd Georra Is n rlnwn
France has suffered terribly at his
Ihands. Lloyd George betrayed us.
We should never have believed his
epoiten words; they were false.
Clemenceau will tell the American
jreopie tne truth, about France.
"Destructive Power," Says One.
Stepharae Lauzanne, ed'itor-in-chief
oi x.e jviatin France has not been
overpleased to hear that M. Clem
enceau Intends to go to America.
France knows that not much good
can result from the trip, and France
fears that much evil may come of it,
M. Clemenceau has been all his
life a destructive ratiher than a com
etructive power. For years and years
toe has used Ma cunning, his elo
quence, his influence to overthrow
cabinets. No French statesman, even
the most patriotic, has been spared
iby him. He assailed Gambetta, killed
Jules Ferry and undermined Del
easse. He invented Boulonger. When
in 1907 he took the reins of the gov
ernment into his hands h caMed to'
office Joseph Caillaux, the most sin
ister ..figure of the Third Republic
appointing him minister for finance'
and, General Picquart, the most me
diocre officer of the French army,
appointing him minister for war.
Millet Bespeaks Welcome.
Philippe Millet. Journalist Wheth
er M. Clemenceau's journey to Amer
ica Is likely or not to exert a bene
ficial influence on Franco-American
relations is a thing which no one
can foresee from this side of the
Atlantic. What is important, how
ever, is that the American public
should realize what M. Clemenceau
represents in the eyes of most
renenmen
The war produced two great men
in France one. Marshal Foch: tho
ower, M. Clemenceau,
wnatever opinion one may have
concerning nis personal defects, or
his policy at the peace conference,
there remains the undoubted fact
that he was the very embodiment of
me spirit or sacrifice that enabled
France to support the ordeal of the
war the very embodiment of
France herself during the dark and
aecisive flays of 1918.
It is for that reason that, for the
immense majority of Frenchmen to
day, he Is a figure looming above
party strife. I wish those Americans
who hear him would forget what
mey may nave neard of persona!
polemics In France, and keep - in
mind that there is something truly
national aoout M. Clemenceau when
he speaks in the name of hia coun

Maurice Barres, deputy and mem
ber of the French academy I be
long to a party which for years and
years stubbornly fought Clemen
ceau. But now, certain of being in
accord with our departed leader
Deroulede, we are full of affection
for the old pilgrim whom you are
about to welcome. In France M.
Clemenceau is henceforth what you
Americans call a "representative
man"; he has taken his place in the
cortege or nag-bearers by who
race is symbolized. It cannot be
denied that he Is full of faults.
no is a man oi temple" pride, a
man who In the course of his life
has done nothing by halves, either
evil or good. But in the evening of
nis aays and in the hour of destiny,
carried forward by the divine ele
ment wnicn exists in rich and pow
erful individuals, he suddenly ap-
peared before the eyes of all as the
Incarnation of invincible hone.
Around him France rallied to strug
gle to the end. During the decisive
moments when Germany was brac
ing herself for that supreme rush
which neutrals believed would be
irresistible he was the cornerstone
of French resistance, and thus he
prevented the undoing of the world.
The man of suqh a legend is
sacred. I do not know what Clem
enceau will say to the citizens of
the great republic, but they will
hear a voice which, after having

burg the liberation of our lost
provinces, a national voice which
we can never listen to without filia'l
piety.
War Acts Praised.
Fernand Philippart, mayor of Bor
deaux M. Clemenceau is a great
patriot; be proved it during the
war. In America he will speak for
France and not, as some seem to
fear, for or against the men and
parties who confront each other
here. America generously came to
fight beside us to save liberty (theirs
as well as our own) from the most
formidable oppression that has ever
threatened it.
,1 trust that M. Clemenceau will
have attuned his acts to those of
M. Poincare. These two great ser-
vants of France pursue the same
object; they only differ in regard
to ine manner of obtaining it. An
understanding is possible between
tnem, at least in regard to the es
sential points. In the views of
America, our ally of yesterday, our
rnenu xorever, Jtt. Poincare and M.
Clemenceau cannot but" speak the
same language and repeat the magic
word which will make all difficul
ties aisappear and all anxieties van

Scottish Rite Masons from various
sections of the Willamette valley
held a meeting here last night and
rerfected organization of the Rose

more for Independence and Mon

"In mere size and
strength it was a ter
rible creature which was
lying stretched before
us. It was not a pure
bloodhound and it was
not a pure mastiff, but
it appeared to be a com
bination of the two
gaunt, savage and as
large as a small lioness.
Even now, in the still
ness of death, the huge
jaws seemed to be drip
ping with a bluish flame
and the small, deep-set,
cruel eyes were ringed
with fire. I placed my
hand upon the glowing
muzzle, and as I held
them up my own fin
gers smouldered and
gleamed in the dark."

Some jokester among election of

the offender by law," said Mr. Jack

hesitate to do so. I want to ask the
fellow if he thinks that kind of
funny business Is what the county
pays him for."
As a sample of the' jokester's re

"representative 18th district" for
these names: "Somahtellebmapenth

Prominent amateur participation
in Portland's first radio show, sched
uled for November 25-December I,
was assured last night when the
Northwest Radio association decided
to enter a special exhibit in the

Instead of a series of individual
exhibits by amateurs,' the associa
tion decided on one big display,
every effort being to center on a
spectacular effect. President Buss
and the executive board will handle
installation of the exhibit and prob
ably supervise contests involving all
amateurs.
Benson Polytechnic radio fans are
enthused over the coining show. In
dividual exhibits are assured, with
perhaps a school display. Other
schools are interested, and one of
the amateur features promises to be
a series of school exhibits with
prize awards for the best.
The Oregon Radio Trades associa
tion, which voted unanimously in
favor of the show at its meeting
Thursday night, has a committee
which will handle trade displays
and regulate such things as Joud
