"Not now." he ald,"I ebaU ive you my last word when I come toack here." fWhea will that be?" he was asked. "When I am dead." he said, " my ghost will come back to deliver the message." Many of the people who met him when he first arrived were there ten nay good bye. Mrs. Charles Dana Gib son, at whose home he stayed In New York; Bernard Barurh. Frank M. Polk. Colonel Stephen Bonsai, Colonel I louse and Dr. Leclercq were on hand.

"I have got a sore throat. A am "tired. I am old, and I want very much to go . to bed." Cleroenceau was to have been the dinner guest of the American commit tee for devastated France, but was too fatigued to eat. He did not arrive at the Hotel Pennsylvania, where the meeting was held, until after the ban quet was over. The "tiger," who has completed his tour of the United States, made his brief speech to some of the wealthiest men and women in the country. KSOW8 REASON" Cleraenceau stated that he was - con fident that he now knew why the United States had misunderstood his beloved France, why Americans had lodged charges of militarism and im perialism against his country. "What the matter was I know now," he said. "The matter was that you were not well informed. Tou did not know what was our condition, and the fact was. as soon as you understood it, I heard but one cry. 'Vive la France.' "In a few hours I. am going to sail back, having accomplished my self ap pointed mission and hoping that I give you matter to ponder over. 0E YEAR TO "LIVE "You see in France, we are almost on the eve of the greatest difficulties we have encountered since the end of the war. We have been quarreling too often with Kngland and this- might have been avoided if America had been there." Then the tired man. who says he only has one more year to live, reiter ated that America had left Europe too soon. "If you think that you are auite t the end of your duty, then it is for you to judge. I have no advice to give you. i simply say this: In 1776, when you wanted to liberate your selves, you called for philosophies, and you caned for men.' and with the French ideas of right you made up ii. i nuimerrui declaration of inde pendence, which was more than a book, for it was an act" Mrs. Ford Held as Plotter :C- 'S -i sff i jf-C : t s it ffjf . , .-f - -: - ' f V "ft-.
