Paris, Tuesday, June 4-Premier
Clemenceau gained another victory
over his opponents in the chamber
of deputies today before large
crowd which packed the chamber
to its capacity. Every deputy was
in his seat.
The premier declared that this
was not the time to discuss military
operations, and the deputies upheld
him in somewhat stormy session.
Cool and collected as he walked
back and forth on the wide tribune,
while storm of Interruptions from
the Socialists surged up from the
house. the veteran leader resembied
weather beaten captain pacing the
bridge Of hS ship lashed by a heavy
gale.
In Sad Mood.
The premier spoke without bitter

sights he had seen on the front re-
Gently his voice assumed a tone OF
intense sadness.

The premier calmly folded his arms
and surveyed the Socialist benches
earnestly and patiently. When the
interruptions did not subsde he
suddenly descended from the tr-

continue.
Marcel Caichin then succeeded in
quelling somewhat the exuberance
of his Socialist colleagues, the most
active of whom were Deputies Raj
fn-Dueens and Deguise.
Resumes His Address.
Premier Clemenceau resumed the
tribune after Caichin's speech and
eulogized the French and allied ar
mics. saying that the soldiers had
fought one against five and some
times one against ten.

premier said. Our resolve must be
to carry on the fight to the end.

the American troops. saying:

Adroit as of Old.
The premier seemed to have aged
visibly under the great burden of
the intense life he has been leading
the past few weeks. during which
he has been continuously busy trav-

He was the same adroit parliament

advices by the navy depart

craft, having sunk a probable
total of ten vessels off the New
Jersey coast, had yesterday
transferred the scene of their

Just as naval officials had
concluded that the German
raiders had left American wa

came the news that a French
tank steamer, the Radioleine,
was saved from destruction
early yesterday by an Amer
lean destroyer 65 miles off the

The Baird was found in a
sinking condition by the de-
stroyer, which took on board
two of the schooner's surviv-
ors. The Baird was a vessel
of 279 tons, hailing from Will
mington, Del. No reports had
been received early today as to
other members of the schoon-
