THE ErIGER OF FRANCE

In thc gallery of the great whose names have been written iudclb.y ou the page of history since the war began none exercises a stronger power over imagination and af- lection than George CIcmcuceau Last week the Senate of France declared him to hav. deserved we'll of his country; he has indeed deserved we'll of the world
 When he came Go the premiership the resources. the courage, the will of France were held in leash. Dcfcatists and trait or, escaped the mcritcd penalties of their treason. Tolerance in politics that came near Go weakness handicapped the armies of the republic. Al a moment when diSaS- fey to France meant disaster to civilization French devotion skill and strength were ~gupyd by iusidious enemies beyond reach of the military and apparently immune from attack by the civil authorities.
 Then it was that the Tiger of France, oId in wears. old in wisdom. old in expert cucc. young in yigor of mind and body, was called to power An the ripe knowledge of full life of activity, an the determination of mind and body dedicated Co a single purpose were devoted to the supreme task of thc day. The follics and the crimes that hgd hmmpcrcd his predecessors were assail- cd without fear; yocillotiou and mdccisiou vanished; challenge was thrown in tine face of a traitor and doubtcr, and the real France the heroic France was allowed once more to pursue her destiny mimpcdcd
 This great work has been done without mock hcroics, without posing, with a sim pGcity and dircc-ucss unaffected and gcuu- me The humanity of the agent on whom Fate put thc burden and for whom Fate opened the door of opportunity has never been denied in word or dced.or gesture. A fine contempt for consistency i'm small things has thrown into high relief the su- prcmc consistency in those things that mat tered
 Truly. George Clcmcnccau has deserved well of his comtry-Ncw York Sun.

FOUR MINUTE MEN
 TO BE DIsBANDED
War Organization Will Quit on Christmas-Has Done Great
 Work for Cause

The Division of Four Minute Men
 of Chg Committee am Public Inform ltion issues Che following
 The work of Che Four Minut, Men of the Committee on Public 'n- formation win conclude on Christ
 mas Eve and the organization will
 be disbandcd.
 This decision was arrived ot after Ia series of consultations iu which ! run weight was given to tnc views iof Che various departments o' the
 government, of the National Adyis- Io-y Council of the Four Minute | Mon. of tho Headquarters staff and representatives of the field workers; Ithe results of which were laid be- fore the Prcsidnt by George Crcel, chairman of the committee.
 In arriving at Che decision Co dis continue the activities of the organ ! izqtion at the conclusion of the campaigns already provided for. due consideration was given Co Che fact ! that Che period of transition from a war basis Co peace basis will be fraurht with momentous problems upon which the public win require . frequent enlightenment. It was felt. however that thc sub- iccts which win present themselves during this period win Of necessity involve economic and political qucs- tions from Che discussion Of which . [, would be practically impossible to exclude partisan views Since hc Four Minute Men are strictly non-partisan. it would not Doc pos sIblc Co use them for disseminating information upon such questions
 Furthermore. Che organization
 was created for and by Che war emergency. which actually ended with the signing of the armisticc on November II. The appropriation
 from Congress under which it has operated was distinctly am cmcr-
 gcncy appropriauo1 and while a balance is suu available. it is not felt that it should be drawn upon Iauy longer than is absolutely ncc-
 essory.
 The situation in Che communities ! n which Che local organizations arc established also indicates thc de- sirabliy of disbondug the body. since Che speakers are selected from ! among Che busiest men in each conn munity. and Che rush Of rccoustruc- ton work would compel great number Of them Co tender rcs.gno-
 Hous iu any event
 The interests of Che motion pie turc theatcrs which have SO gencr- |ously and unselfshly coonoratcd in | thc work had Co Doc given careful
 consideration also. and it was fcli |that it would not bc fair to ask them
 Co continue Co dcyiatc from their accustomed programs now that thc
 termination Of Che emergency might | incline some among their patrons Co bc less patient with such ntcrrup- tions
 The following campaigns remain ! 10 be completed. after which Che or ganization win be officially dis- | banded.

the principal OF the rights of nations

Is wrong for the nation.
