statesman and h went to it with a
vim that belied his SI years.
f The keen eyes beneath the shaggy
brows were sparkling and snapping
with excitement when the commit
tee that went down the hay to greet
him first caught sight of him, high
upon the promenade deck of the
J'aris.
They .wierc still sparkling awd
snapping when he was hustled into
'ha.rles Dana Gibson'aliome in East
Seventy-third street at nightfall, to
rest up for the morrow.
Amrrli'as Sympathy Sought.
The war premier of France, who
left this country more than half a
century ago as a young medical stu
dent, returned, in ripe old age with
many years of stormy statesman
ship behind- him, to win for his
country the sympathy of America.
The Tiger found thousand of
people watting for him on the tip
Of Manhattan island. There were
cheers when he stepped ashore rfnd
then, headed by the police depart
Weret band, 51. Clemenceau and the
committee whicih welcomed him,
(started up Broadway for lids official
reception at the city hall.
The aged statesman was carrying
It red rose in one hand when he be
fean his motor trip up the great can
yon. Girls In office buildings leaned
from windows and blew kisses to
hint. He replied by waving the rose
in a courtly manner.
" The welcoming committee on ar
riving at quarantine aboard the
municipal steamer Macom found the
Tiger peering through a window on
the promenade deck. He was wear
ing a gray cutaway with a gray fe
dora. Committee Is Presented. '
Kscorted to the grand salon by the
captain of the Paris, the committee
Was presented to M. Clemenceau by
J. J. Jusserand, French ambassador
to the United States.
: Robert Woods Bliss, assistant sec
retary of state, welcomed the former
premier to America in behalf of
President Harding and invited him
to visit the president at Washing
ton. Clemenceau accepted, express
ing his delight.
Complimented by the committee
on his healthy appearance, M. Clem
enceaureplied lightly:
"I am growing younger every day.
In 60 years I think I'll be a baby."
; Robert Condon, a member of the
national executive committee of the
American Legion, then welcomed the
ex-premier "as a man who more than
any other exemplifies the spirit in
which he carried on the war."
Shaking hands, the Tiger replied:
j "You're the man I like to see. It's
the thoughts of your men that
count."
' Making ready to leave the Bat
tery, M. Clemenceau called excitedly
to his valet Albert, who was going
up the dock with the baggage, to be
sure to see that it landed safely.
Photographers Slake Bush.
Led by Colonel E. M. House, a
close personal friend, the distin
guished Frenchman stepped gingerly
aboard the municipal craft Manhat
tan to cross to the Macom. The
Manhattan's siren loosed three tre
mendous blasts. The Tiger clapped
his hands hurriedly over his ears
and scrambled aboard the Macom.
Then came a rush of photogra
phers. "Oh, isn't there somebody to kill
these photographers?" cried the Ti
ger plaintively.
"Is it not permissible in your
country?"
But he posed.
A band aboard the Macom then
struck up the "Marsellaise," and M.
Clemenceau, his hat removed, stood
with bowed head opposite Colonel
House. Just as he was about to
drop into a seat the musicians
swung into "The Star-Spangled Ban- i
ner" and he rose again. Then he
was led to the bow by the com
mittee and sank into an easy chair.
The Tiger kept casting piercing
glances from under his shaggy gray
brows at the harbor scene. Soon he
inquired for the whereabouts of the
Statue of Liberty. M. Jusserand
pointed it out through the mist with
the jesting observation that the lady
was somewhat obscured by prohi
bition. : "Oh," finally exclaimed Clemen
ceau, gazing at the statue. "It is
really impressive."
First Lecture Is Tuesday.
Before landing the Tiger an
nounced that he intended this af
ternoon to attend the performance
ot Mephistopheles at the Metro
politan onera. house, whem h will
deliver his first lecture Tuesday
N In his chat with Ambassador ,Tus
serand on politics, If. Clemenceau
conversed in French. During an ani
mated discussion regarding Premier
Mussolini of Italy, the fascist!
leader, the Tiger exclaimed:
"Ah, there's a government!"
The Tiger seemed bewildered when
lie saw the army of newspaper re
porters, photographers and movie
men, more than 75 strong, which
greeted him.
Confetti and ticker tape rained
on the Tiger as he moved up Broad
way. At city hall, which he said he
veil remembered, he was received
by Acting-Mayor Murray Hulbert,
who hailed him as "the most dis
tinguished citizen of the great sis
ter republic, France."
' "The people of the two nations
relieved then, as they believe now,
that self-government is the natural
government of mankind," said Mr.
Hulbert. "To the maintenance and
defense of that principle you have
devoted a long lifetime service char
actenzed by the display of unusual
courage, keen foresight, masterly
aDimy ana dynamic force."
George W. Wickershnm introduced
"TIGER" OF FRANCE, WHO ARRIVES IS UNITED STATES
FOR VISIT.

the Tiger as one of the greatest
citizens in the world.
M. Clemenceau, responding to the
welcome, said:
"For 50 years I have been mixed
up with the most important political
crises in France. 1 have seen my
country invaded twice during my
lifetime. I do not want to see a
third invasion before my death.
"We will disperse our army when
It can be shown that we are safe
from this invasion."
He explained that he came on no
mipsion and that his visit was per
sonal. At first, he said, he vowed
he would not come to America be
cause he was too old. But when
he heard his country criticised he
decided to come, he said.
"We were called militaristic and
imperialistic," he said. "If there's
a man who is noLmilitaristic it is
I." '
M. Clemenceau said that he read
while in France an article by a great
English critic criticising France
and America and declared that this
made him resolve "to defend Amer
ica against anybody."
He said that France "did not
know what was going on in America
and America did not know what was
going cn in France and he wished to
make the position of France clear,
as a freeman speaking to freemen."
From the city hall, M. Clemenceau
motored to the home of Charles
Dana Oibson, where he will stay.
Tribute Paid America.
In his reply to Acting Mayor Hul
bert, who welcomed him, M. Clem
enceau paid tribute to America's
part in the world war, saying:
"Wo had a terrific, the greatest
war that ever was in the world.
Men fell by hundreds of thousands
in that war, and we waited very
long sometimes and we looked
around to see if some help, would
not come.
"Help' did come, and it came mag
nificently, I must say, in the shape
of the American soldier. I can
speak of it as having seen it on
the fields, and I have seen it, too,
on the farm. Very often I met at
the peasants' homes a big huge
American with two children on his
knees telling stories to them and
trying to understand the questions
that the old men and women should
ask about America.
"Of course he did not speak
French more than the others spoke
English. Some way or other, they
made themselves understood. Very
soon 'we discovered they were all
friends.
Americans Seen in Fight.
"I have seen them the Americans
in the fight and I have seen them
the field when the Americans,
under the command of General
Pershing, took hold marvelously at
St. Mihiel, releasing a great many
people. When I arrived the next
day, what did I see? All the Ameri
can motors in the old city tun ot
French women and children and
flowers. These poor people who
bad not been .allowed to get out of
thein, dens for three years were res
cued by the Americans.
'And I saw the crowd cry, and
laughing, and crying, I think I saw
once in a while an American soldier
get a kiss from some woman.
'It was the next day after the
battle took place, when all of the
city had been emptied by the
Americans, It was a joy not to be
forgotten.
"I saw sometimes the worst. I
have seen Americans in the mud of
the trenches for days and days with
out being relieved and looking very
sorry, but the moment I came and
brought them the crosses of war
the had so magnificently gained
they were all smiles. We shook
hands and we spoke of the old
place. America was the old place.
They did not cry and I could see
the twinkle in their eyes. Of course,
they. knew I was theirs and they
knew they were mine. One day in
the highway I met a troop ot sol
diers going home and they made me
feel sad when they spoke of the old
country.
Speeches Tire I,ung.
"They said: 'Won't you come to
America some day?' I said: 'No, I
am-too old; I cannot think of going
there.'
"I said: 'You make me make
speeches and it tires my lungs. I
have very few of them lert, poor
miserable things.' They said: 'You
do come.' 'I won't go,' I said, and
for years and years I said, 'I won't
go."
"One morning I was in my private
house bordering on the sea on the
other side of the water, when I
received bad news from America. I
heard bad names. We were called
imperialists, and militarists. Ithink
that is horrid, and I thought I had
better go and tell them how things
happened to pass and to show them
that their judgment was not cor
rect.
"One day a British newspaper ar
rived. It contained criticisms from
a man of very high standing, calling
America bad names. At that moment
I decided I had better gp to Amer
ica: That is the reason why I am
here. I do not make sentences. I
don't promise anything. I came, as
you very well know, on a mission.
"Nobody can ascribe any personal
aim. to my act in visiting this coun
try. My life is over. But it does
seem to me that I can do you some
service in letting you know how we
Europeans judge the American peo
ple. It is necessary because in the
world at this time there is & crisis
that hasn't been settled yet. How
it "will end nobody knows. If you
take the wrong side well, then the
war counts for nothing and we may
have to go to war again. If it turns
out right and the right thing is done
at the right time, then it will be one
of the greatest steps for the civiliza
tion of mankind.
"That is the question I have come
to put to America. I will ask them
for great freedom of thought and
great freedom of speech, r I must be
allowed to speak as a free man to
free men who are not afraid of any
thing. Your greeting encourages me
to believe that I will get access to
American minds. It will be a great
satisfaction to me. . - L '
Country Seen From Battery.
"I looked, at this country from the
Battery. It lias not changed as much
as it seems. The young ladies look
exactly the same and that is the
first message I am going to send to
my country. I am going to tell ray
countrymen to come here because
there are beautiful ladies to look at.
"During more than 50 years I
have been mixed up with all of the
worst crises of France. Think of
that! In my own life I have seen
my country invaded twice by Ger
mans. ,. I am the only survivor of
those who protested at the assem
bly of Bordeaux against the act of
invasion. I do not want to see that
invasion repeated.. I will not permit
anyone to tell me that I have too
many soldiers or too few. soldiers
unless they succeed in some way in
giving us such guarantees. Then
only with the greatest of pleasure
will I dissolve the French army.
"Will you Americans show us the
similar feeling? We must defend
ourselves."
REPUBLICANS IN ACCORD
(Continued From First Page.)
Vice-President Marshall, in the case
ot ex-Senator Benet of South Caro
lina, appointed to succeed the late
Senator Tillman. Mr. Marshall held
that Mr. Benet ceased to be a sen
ator under the law after a successor
to Mr. Tillman had been elected by
the people of South Carolina.'
Should Mrs. Felton be seated, it
was stated, she would -serve with
out pay under the statute which
provides for the beginning of the
salary of a senator elected to fill
an unexpired term on the day of his
election. Mrs. Felton's friends de
clared the salary was not a consid
eration that as she herself had
stated, it was her sole desire to
"blaze the road for the womanhood
of America" to a senate place.
Thei were reports today that
some of Mrs. Felton's friends might
undertake to persuade her not to
present herself Monday and thus
avoid the embarrassment that would
result from an objection to her suc
ceeding Mr. Watson. On the other
hand, still others of her friends, it
w-as stated, were urging her to ad
here to the purpose which brought
her on the 780-mile journey from
Cartersville.
Mrs. Felton holds that, whether
or not she is seated, she has cleared
the way for the service of women in
the senate by the fact of her ap
pointment to that body. This ap
pointment came soon after the ad
journment of congress late in Sep
tember, and thus she was unable to
take her seat at that time.
Mrs. Felton arrived here early to
day unattended. Because of her ad
vanced age 87 years she was fa
tigued by the trip and spent the day
quietly in her room at a hotel. Soon
after her arrival she received news
paper correspondents and later was
visited by officers of the national
woman's party.

Thinking Ahead
Through the
Holidays
Nothing is more beautiful within the
lives of all than the anticipation and ob
servance of the Thanksgiving, Christmas
and New Year Holidays. Every soul
seems imbued with pleasant thoughts
and good will; and every home seems to
radiate joy and cheer.
And nothing is more beautiful 'as an
acquisition or gift for these Holidays than
a colorful, joy-bringing message of love,
faith or cheer woven indelibly and en
duringly in a rich silk or wool Persian
Oriental fug. t
A gift of this substantial and artistic
character denotes genuine sincerity and
cannot help but express the full good
wishes of the giver and merit the same
full appreciation of the fortunate recipient.
