PARIS. Nov. i5.-The coming man OF
France is Andre Tardeu, just made
minister Of French and American affairs.
Anybody in Paris will tell you It's an
0dds-on bet that Tardieu VIII De he
next prime minister Of France.
Clemenccau, the doughty Tiger, re-
mains beloved. and revered, the great
est Of Frenchmen But he is n years
Old, eating out his energy as the war
rIer Of France.
Therefore. next TO COMMEMORATIVE
Tardieu.
II France had the same form Of re
pgblican government as the United
States has they would be talking about
Tardieu for president when Raymond
p0incare's seyen-year term ends In
1920.
But the presidency of France is an
honorary job. The prime minister
rules.
Tardleu Is only a. Tie was born in
Paris. lie has served France as diplo-
mat, Journalist, professor, soldier and
cmssary TO America. Since last July
he has been welding Franco-American
friendship close and closer as chief OF
the high commission Of FrancO-Ameri-
can affairs, a post now made permanent
by . portfolio in the French cabinet.
Man Of Action.
Tardieu has a well-balanceds compre-
hensive mind. He's quick on the trig-
ger. as Clemenceau Is he's a man Of ac-
tiOn, OF instant decisions. He's witty
and ioly-again like Clemenceau. And
he's not at all OF the told type Of poll
tlcian: nor IS Clemenceau. in spite OF
his years.
Before the war Tardieu was sent to
the United states TO lecture at Harvard.
He came back-and wrote a book on
America. It wasn't like other books
Europeans have written about America.
Prophecy That is Fulfilled.
Read these prophetic and impressive
henteces Tardieu wrote before the
world war broke out:
"The United states has left the New
World TO enter into the World Moth
ing will stop the march Of the colossal
convoy on the way TO Its destiny"
Tardieu volunteered for war service
in August, 1914, became second lieuten-
ant. He was with Foch at Fere-Cham-
penOise when the future generalissimo
Of the allied armies delivered the mas
ter stroke Of the battle Of the Marne.
in 1911. He was with Foch at the battle
Of the User.
Quickly Tardieu became a captain.
lie was given the task OF organizing
the first press section Of the French
army. But that wasn't exciting enough.
Next, he appeared in the thick Of the
fighting as commander Of a company
Of BLUE Devils lie got the Croix de
Guerre for gallantry, too.
Distinguished at Nerdun.
In 1917. he was appointed high COM
missioner to America. He wrestled
with the problem Of Frances food sup
ply, he took the ablest French instruc-
tors TO America to instruct the Yanks
in the art Of war. and he guided Amerl-
cas- industrial war effort.
Tardieu, in the diplomatic service
served apprenticeship at the French
embassy In Berlin. There he studied
and digested that Bismarckian diplo-
macy against the ascendancy Of which
ne has dedicated his life.
same Prussian Menace.
He early saw the Prussian menace
and defended the law which imposed
three years OF military service on the
youth Of France.
Tardleu comes OF the solid bour-
geoisie, Of a family OF physicians and
architects. lie is a real democrat.
