CLEMENCEAU WILL FORM NEW CABINET
 ID RULE FRANCE
Grim Old Pilitician, Known as "The Tiger" Will Not Be Opposed By His
 Enemies

1 Paris, November 15.--Former Premier
 Clemenceau has agreed to form q new
 cabinet
 NJ Clemenceau remained at Elysee pal ace with President Poincare for more than an hour. after which the announce rnent was made that the president had offered him the mission of forming a cabinet, which he had accepted. On leaving the palace, M. Clemenceau said 'I intend to act quickly and rationally. There are certain little matters to exam inc and regulate and I tnlnlS I shall need 4S hours. I shall perhaps be able to give the first exact information tomor- row evening"
 The radical and radical socialist group in the senate met and adopted reso- lution that circumstances required that the best qualified men take office re- gardless of parties The corresponding group in the chamber, after a sharp dis cussion adopted I resolution against the party pronouncing against M Clemen- ceau.
 1t was Georges C1enenceau, for many years one Of the most forceful figures in French public life, who instituted the campaign against German propaganda in France and it was largely on that issue that tl.2 tPainleve cabinet fell.
 The tiger as he is nicknamed, is known as an exponent Of the pig stick and it
 has been prophesied that if he should
 he appointed premier,s he would stamp
 out Boloism unqualifiedly. The chief ob-
 stacle to his employment was felt to
 be the implacabe hostility of the unified
 socialists who have never forgiven his
 drastic methods in dealing with labor
 troubles when he was premier
 M. Clemenceau is 76 years old. He is
 sometimes referred to as more of a de-
 structive than . constructive statesman
 and is reputed to have upset nearly a score of cabinets. lie has held no min
 isterial positions i'll recent years, de-
 voting himself largely to his newspaper, LHomme Enchaine, which has been sus- pended several times because of his bit-
 ing criticism of the governments re-
 stra2nts.
