He asked what America had made war for and what she had gained. He said America had come to the last point where she was gTanted time to think. No sacrifice was de manded of her except the will to assist herself, as the people she had vanquished were unable to do any thing just at the present moment. Allegory Is Offered. . Clemenceau began his address with an allegory in which he con trasted himself with, a Buddhist inonk who cajled his disciples to gether in an Indian village, a thou sand years ago, to hear him preach. But Instead of a human voice, the disciples heard only the golden voice of a beautiful bird, perched on a branch above the monk. That was the sermon. The "Tiger" expressed regret that he could not thus convey his mes sage without speaking, saying "in fact, you may have heard it. I came here on purpose for that." First, he said, he wanted to say he was "more accustomed to grin ning faces than the smiling faces of ladies," and that on this night he was "rather although it has not happened very often rather timid." Then he expressed his gratitude "for the really wonderful welcome which I have met In tais country, which is most marvelous, since only 57 years ago I came fresh from the imperial jails of Napoleon III, to find there was another way of liv ing, and a much better way." As an immigrant he brought to this country a fresh outlook, but he said he did not know "whether it had been appreciated," that he had never been assured as much. He had looked around In America and "learned what Europe hadn't taught me to help myself." Advice Sought By Tiger. "And now. like the pupil who comes back to his teacher, who has gained experience, I come back, and it is very different," he continued. "I come back with changed ideas, and to express my thanks for the good practical education that I received." He came, he said, "with the Amer ican spirit ,and ready to find fault in different ways." "I must confess that I did not find as many faults as I expected. And today, having been taught through independence, I am trying to find Kdvice. I have no mission; I did not come with a mission from anybody." Clemenceau sat in his "pleasant little house by the sea" in his native country, and there, he Baid, "I heard that there had been bad words for France. I did not like that at all. Personal Motive Is Denied. . At the same time, there came pople and hard critics, one a very distinguished Englishman, and I said: 'Well, now if England mis judges France, and the Americans misjudge France, what are w going to do? I had better go and see what is the matter." " Thus, he said, he left France "without really knowing whether 1 was going to plead against you, or to defend you." In a challenging rumble, "the ti ger" then dared "anyone to tell me that I have a personal end in this trip to America, and I that I pursue any design, political, personal or any kind." In fact, he asserted, he had been here long enough to decide he was "not going to have much trouble in establishing a basis of common thought on a very import ant matter." , Of the opposition in France to his visit, he said: "When a man with his own nature tries to aim as high as he can, it is encouraging to hear the raging shrieks from below." He came pro t vided with such encouragement, he declared. Great Deal Held in Common. America and France, he said, nave a great deal in common in some 01 tne greatest events " seen in war. And he expressed particular pleasure in contemplation of "the beauty of this, that there was a romance between France and Amer ica that he did "not know of two other people with such a stretch of imagination"; that together, they iiitu me booo ionune to open a new era, not only in human thought, but to open the time, the era when maybe juice, hope, good ,will and righteousness would be realized on earth." .-... Clemenceau assured his audience 3ie was not about to ask them for money, because they "have too much of it." He wanted "something much more than' that, much more valuable." "I want yourself, your heart and 60ul," he explained. "I want that thing that we call s in France the thing that cannot be weighed in human skins, a little thing, which is a kind of kin feeling of one human being toward another. That may exist and does exist between such nations as ours, and that is what I want of you." Change in Heart Desired. He hoped, he said, to cause his hearers "to change their hearts" if they had been thinking ill of France, "as France's heart has been changed toward America." He then summarized his thoughts the thoughts he had been thinking since he went into solitude in France about the war and its aft ermath, "a great crisis," the great est crisis in events, of which no one could foresee the end. "Why should peace be so hard for us to live?" he aBked. "Why cannot we find common means for preserving peace?" He spoke of the arrival of Ameri can troops on French soil during the war, of the controversy between allied leaders and General Pershing about the distribution of American soldiers. Pershing Quarrels Recalled. "I sometimes had quarrels wita General Pershing, beautiful quar rels." he related. But since then he had come to think he (Pershing) was right, "and so was I." Of the period before the war, and, his demands for preparation against' German Invasion and threats of in vasion, Clemenceau said: "You may call me militaristic. You may call me imperialistic. But, I do not accept the reproach." It was when be "was promenading Copyright by Underwood & Underwood. DR. WILHELJI CUNO. Dr. Wilhelm Cunn. director of the Hamburg-American line, who this week was appointed new German chancellor, Monday took up the task of naming a new cabinet to replace the Wirth ministry. everywhere with the prediction, 'we are going to war, a great war; Germany wants war,' that he first met Lloyd George," said Clemen ceau. Nevertheless, he had not come to America "to abuse the Germans or anybody." Only, when he was asked by his countrymen "to make arrangements with Germany, he felt forced to reply, "what is their signature worth? What is their paper worth?" He likened Germany to a man who draws a check with out funds in a bank. Again his disclaimed intention ol harboring "any hatred forever against the Germans." German Nation Declared Great. . "Not at all," he declared. "They have been a great nation, and thej will be a great nation again. I am not opposed to that, as long as they don't dismember my nation." Then, inserting a thought about "violation of oaths and violation of signatures," he asserted: "There are no exclusive differ ences between Germany and the rest of the world. "For the rest of the world live in good faith. They believe a sig nature and an engagement is a sig nature and an engagement; and a man who doesn't think in those terms well, leave it to you what to do. Armistice Is Discussed. Coming to the armistice, Clemen ceau said: - Now I want some of your at tention, because it is a very im portant point and ,in fact, some thing like the foundation of my reasoning. "The -fact is," he launched forth, that the United States had a very general and noble idea that before the war was over we should all say what we had made war for and what we wanted, so nobody could attempt after the war was over to ask for more than it thought of be fore. "And President Wilson came with his commission. So we all discussed and we all agreed about the 14 points, which have become to well known, and from that time the world, the Germans, everyone knew that on such conditions we would make peace. "So that when the Germans said, 'we agree on the 14 points; we mean exactly the 14 points,' we had no choice but to, accept the armistice that was proposed. The whole world would have risen against us if we had not accepted it." Idea Declared American. "So," he said, "the armistice was, in fact, automatic." Most remarkable of all, "it was an American idea that brought President Wilson to act as he did," continued the speaker. "And thence we began to see the thing that is not being considered in this country as far as I know that the war was yours as well as ours. Tou took your share in it." France lost "an enormous num ber of men," America "a compara tively small number" because the war ended when it did. America had a great share in it all in the armistice, in the treaty and in all that followed. For instance, in the armistice, there was a line saying 'reparations' damages, repairs. There waa also a line in the 14 points. There was a line in the armistice that was placed in the conditions of peace that I would not accept and Colonel House agreed with me. "In the armistice the damages were to be paid and President Wilson said 'It that kind of a peace is not assured we will go on.' I did not ask them to be executed but I asked that they begin to be executed. If we iiad known that for three years the thing that was guaranteed to us was not coming to us wa would have gone to Berlin." ' Friend Paderewski Seen. Herethe "tiger" interrupted him self tosay: "I see my dear friend Paderewski. He won honor both in the field of art as well as in the political field of his noble country. He is here as a witness to these conditions of peace," continuing: "It was not only a question of peace between France and Germany. We made something which nobody speaks of, although it is the event of the century. America had freed herself in 1776 and now in 1918 ehe rejected the whole of Europe all these people that had been put down under the scepters of Germany and Austria and Russia. "They began to breathe. Tjey were called to liberty and my friend Paderewski could tell you of the spectacle we had around the table 27 states calling for justice, for lib erty. "Yon don't know how, when Woodrow Wilson landed in Paris, the whole world extended their hands towards him. He brought them hope, the thing that they had been expecting, waiting for, praying for for centuries. "Paderewski could tell you that when he (Wilson) came to France, they all said: 'Here is a man who brings justice, who brings the right for man to live le jour de gloire ets arrive.'

The United States played a brief part in the near east ern peace conference today, Rich ard Washburn Child, Antarican Am bassador to Italy making a declara tion before the assembled delegates of the position of the official ob- ervers representing America. American participation in the con ference will consist of joining in the discussions and safeguarding as far as possible rights which the United States feels must bo pro tected in the interest of America and the rest of the world. The American observers will not vote or act as members of any of the commissions. Two sessions of the conference were held today. At the first, the organization of three commissions was arranged, the first on political and military matters, with an Eng- Ish chairman; the second, on eco nomics, finance and public health with a French chairman, and the third, on r capitulations, minority populations and similar questifins, under an Italian chairman. Disonesion Is General. The afternoon session was devoted largely to a general discussion. America's participation in the Lausanne conference was hailed with gratification by ' the Italian government and people. Premier Mussolini told the Associated Press. 'American interest "in Europe is necessary to the peace of the world," he said, "and 1 believe this lnaugura tion of the United States activity in the near eastern conference is precursor to still further and larger participation." Asked concerning the relations between the new Italian govern ment and the Vatican, Mussolini an swered: 'I am religious. I think religion Is the great fundamental moral force in the life of the people and I am hostile to anything that savors of the atheistic or anti-clerical. Catholicism World Power. 'Catholicism is a wonderful world power and cvi that account the rela tions between the fascist! govern ment and the Vatican will be very cordial." He favored the negotiation of complete commercial treaties be tween all the powers as a funda mental necessity for real world con struction so that all the nations might find economic relief. Of the soviet, he said: "We can't ignore Russia, because it exists." - He concluded with the statement that he wanted America to realise that the fascisti government was strong and solid.

A further difficulty, he added. would be the necessity for breaking up the operating organization of the employes. The five divisions of the Southern Pacific and Central Pacific on the Pacific coast are operated jointly, he said, and about 23,000 employes would have to be divided up between two separate comoanv organizations. He asserted that I many would be forced to remove from their present living places. Rumors Are Heard Regarding Appointment of Cardinals. ROME, Nov. 21. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The cordial attitude of Benito Mussolini, the fascisti pre mier of Italy, toward the Vatican has been shown recently in his speeches, including that delivered when pre senting his cabinet to parliament. This fact has caused rumors to circulate that Mussolini may pro pose to King Victor Emmanuel that the-monarch appoint two cardinals as senators of the kingdom, namely. Cardinal Maffi, the learned arch bishop of Pisa, who was one of the foremost candidates for the papal crown last January, and is a per sonal friend of the reigning family, and Cardinal Endrici, prince bishop of Trent, who, when Trent was under Austrian rule, suffered because of his patriotism for Italy. According to canon law, ecclesias tics may not accept government ap pointments without the authoriza tion of the ecclesiastic authority, which in the case of a cardinal would be the pope himself. During the past 52 years, or since the fall of the temporal power of the pope, no ecclesiastic has been appointed a senator and since the existence of parliamentary government in Italy onlyiseven cardinals have had seats in the senate. The last appointment of a cardinal to the upper chamber was in 1S66. The cardinal arch bishop of Turin, who was a senator in 1870, never resigned his seat, but after the pope was deprived of ter ritorial sovereignty over Rome the cardinal never re-entered the upper chamber. Should Mussolini succeed in hav ing two cardinals appointed to the senate it is felt here that this would be the final step toward official re conciliation between church and state in Italy, which practically al ready exists. with cup No. 55 is especially designed to meet the exacting demands of busy executives.

Next to the people of the United States themselves, no ele ment outside of that country could have been more interested in the recent elections than the rum-running fraternity of western Canada. Special communications were opened to keep track of the vote as it came in and the central bureau in Vancouver wa advised every few minutes of the results where the representatives of wets and drys were in contest. The rum-runners of Canada were vitally interested in the election, it means either a continuation of the present strict regulations of the Volstead act or limitations being made that will introduce domestic beverage into the United States that will curtail to a marked extent the demand of liquors from Canada. Contrary to their regular custom, the rum-runners wanted to see a majority of drys in the United States congress, as it would mean a con tinuation of their present business with possibilities of greater develop ment. As they have .spent large sums of money in their boats and equipment and in making avenues of delivery on the sea safe, their trade stands in great jeopardy until it is known whether the drys have the majority or not. :iilHl!l: S. & H. green stamps for cash.
