 Berlin. Oct, 23-The announcement that M. Clemenceau had been selected to form a cabinet for France was bad ly received by the German press.
 The new premier during his journal istic activities wrote so many things unweIcome to Germans that they have not forgotten and they use the oppor- tunity to call him an adventurer" and a "menance to the peace of Eu- rope"
 Even the foreign office looks witI some concern on M.

A HOPELESS SITUATION.
Odd Climax That Was Not Part OF

"Glancing through her part hastily at
breakfast, she noticed that there was
one scene in which she had so little to
say that il could be learned just be-
fore going on. She decided 10 skip that
scene and get to the longer passages.
"When night came, and my aunt
made her appearance, she did very
well in the first scene. In the second
scene occurred the passages she had
skipped in the morning. She rushed to
the corner in which she left her book,
but IL was not there. Finally, the
stge manager receiving 40 response
10 his repeated calls, sought her out
and pushed her on the stage. There
she was, before Il large audience, with
out the slightest idea Of what she was
supposed to do or say. The scene was
a courtroom. At high desk sat the
presiding judge. letter perfect In his

state what she saw the prisoner do on
this particular night
"What was she TO answer? She
glanced around hclplcssly. She hadn't
the faintcst idea what she had seen
the prisoner do on that particular night.
The critical moment had arrived; some
one must speak, but she couldn't. Her

in the play who looked particularly

having convinced himself on this poirt,
again addressed the witness. My aunt
