Old Chief Uses Satire.

The old chief was in great form
in meeting interruptions from the ex-
treme left. In bantering tone, he
said:
Il am willing to retire if NJ. Channel
will succeed me-"
NJ. Channel was sponsor for the
Interpolation regarding the high cost
of living. Even NJ Cachin and NJ.
Sembat were unable to hide their mer-
riment and applauded the grand old
man. Then. resuming his seriousness,
NJ. Clemenceau said:
1--WE are facing the liquidation of
the greatest catastrophe the world
has ever known. You may forget it,
but l. who am struggling with these
difficulties, have a right to mention
them. A barbarous nation has set
fire to the four corners of the world
and for five years the most abomina-
BILE war in history has held sway.
And you desire that on the very
day that the signatures are placed at
the bottom of the peace treaty the
e-bellum status prevail.
Gentlemen, to console myself from
the reproaches which you addressed
to me l have merely to think of those
which Will be leveled at my sue
cessor."
Amid cheers from all parts Of the
chamber the vote was taken.

Light of Battle in Eyes.

Annoyed during the debate by repeat
ed Interruptions from the socialists, in
which Jean Bon and NJ. Narenne were
conspicuous. NJ. Clemenceau himself as
cended the tribune. Amid tense silence
the old man walked slowly up the steps
and turned and Saluted the right and
center and giowered at the extreme left.
The light of battle was cleaning in the
tigers eye as he said in low voice:
"You blame me for not having chosen
my colleagues from the learned. An
eminent man is not necessarily mem
Der of the French Academy"
The house laughed and was disarmed.
Strolling up and down the tribune, the
premier hesitated, stopped and then
continued:
"You wanted me to make war. I
have made war. You wished me to
make peace 1t is harder to make
peace than it is to make war. 1t is a
question of confidence. / have OBJ
tanned all that France could desire
and many things that France could
not hope for"
NJ. Clemenceau expressed the desire
to go before the country in new cleo
tionS.
Il had thought" he said, that after
five years of war l might rest, but
have been told: You made the war
The work of peace must be con-
tinued. All the ambition which have
at this moment is that you keep me
in power until my work is done. But
| should give you cordial handshake
if you send me from this tribune in
the minority"
AS NJ. CIemenceau descended from
the tribune it was recalled that just
one year ago today the premier, ar
irving from the Chateau-Thierry sec
tor. where Marshal Foch's offensive
was marking time ON the Germans
third line of defense, told the as
sembled newspaper men: I'VE have

By the Associated Press
PARIS, July 22.-The chamber O.
deputies gave a vote of confidence in
the cabinet of M. Clemenceau this after
room by vote of 272 against 1S1.
NJ. Clemenceau's opponents were jubi-
liant over the vote in the chamber, say
ing that it spelled the doom of the cabi-
net as at present constituted.
Premier Clemenceau, on leaving the
chamber said:
This is a mere skirmish; the real
battle is coming
The premier was cheered as he de-
parted. many officers surrounding him
and shouting give Clemenceaun and

Early Elections Proposed.

The renewal of the Clemenceau
governments lease of life by the vote
of confidence in the chamber of dep
uties yesterday has been followed
quickly by tangible evidence of the
governments intention to arrange for
the holding of elections as early as
possible.
This evidence comes in the form of
a bill introduced in the chamber re-
ducipg the number of parliamentary
districts in the department Of the
Seine. palpably in anticipation of par
liamentary elections.
Some of the radical leaders. includ-
ing former Premier Combes, are
starting a movement to re-establish
for the elections coalition of the
left and extreme left, comprising the
radicals. the radical socialists and the
socialists.

Clemenceau Directed Fight
in Chamber of Deputies;
Majority Increased to f13

PARIS. July % (Havas).-Premier
Clemenceau. who won for his ca binet
vote of confidence late yesterday in
the chamber of deputies, emerged
from the conflict stronger than the
test vote showed.
The final vote Of confidence on a
resolution by Deputy Semyian, ap-
proving the governments declaration
of policy, showed confidence in the
government by 2S9 to 176, a majority
of 113. The first vote, which was on
a demand for priority for the reso-
luton of Deputy Channel, gave the
premier majority of ninety-one, the
resolution being defeated 272 to 1S1.
priority was asked, was on the high
cost of living. Priority for it was
sought over the resolution of Deputy
Augagneur, which was adopted Fri
day by a majority of IA. the govern
ment being in the minority.
1t was the Auganeur resolution that
resulted in the resignation of M.
Boret, the former food minister now
Directed His Own Fight.
The premier directed his fight. He
and all his ministers were on the gov
eminent bench and the chamber was
crowded. NJ. Noulens, the food min
lister. was sent first to the tribune, as
the Interpolation on the cost Of living
brought about the governments de-
mand for a vote of confidence. NJ.
Noulens was followed by Etienne
Clementel, minister of commerce and
Louis Loucheur. minister of recon-
ctruction. These three ministries had
been the objects of the chambers
principal criticisms recently.
NJ. Clemenceau won applause even
from the opposition when he followed
his minister to the tribune and made
ho
of his leading opponents to laugh at
members of their own party. To con-
sole himself for the criticisms of his
administration the premier said: II
have merely to think of those that
will be leveled at my successor"
The premier described the situation
of the government since the armi-
stice.
I'VE are witnessing the liquidation
of the worlds greatest catastrophe"
he said. 1T was impossible after
five years of barbarous warfare for
everything to be returned to order.
at the moment of the signing of the
peace treaty.
He declared he had too much pride
to reply to NJ. Channel. who accused
him Of not having represented France
well at the peace conference.
Il gave everything to that task
he said, up to the limit of my
strength. The chamber will have to
discuss the peace treaty thoroughly.
1t, as well as the country, will judge
my work.
ION the morrow of the ratification
of peace" he added, .'he will see that
the electorate is enabled to express
itself"
The premier concluded with an at
tempt TO show the difficulties of his
task, which, he said, he had the con-
seriousness of having done well.

A BaVarian Princess

Although before her marriage she was Bavarian princess, no suspicion of pro-Germanism fiecked her loyalty to Belgium during the entire war. When some daring soul asked her how she felt toward her German mother and other relatives, her blue eyes flashed as she answered: Be tween them and me there is a curtain of steel"
 Young Prince Leopold and Prince Charles before the end of the war were put into uniforms and brought back to Belgium by their parents, the elder boy, according to the dispatches, go- ing with his father to the fighting front.
 Is it not a truly royal" record asks a Washington correspondent of the Associated Press, who sends the above story.

Liege, and when the kaiser sent him a personal message demanding the sur render of it's forts and threatening to take them by force, Albert responded laconically, '"Try."
 He was at Louvain, and with the dauntless Belgian army in it's stub born fighting retreat
 He directed the resistance of Ant werp during it's bombardment. While leading the army toward Antwerp shrapnel burst ten yards away from his car, tearing off the rear wheels.
 He ascended repeatedly in bal loon for military observation and was shelled by the enemy.
 q will never leave my army" he de- clared at this time, and in the next few years he lived up to his promise.
 After the fall of Antwerp, in the fighting near the coast, he was contin- ually among his men, encouraging them and sharing their risks and dis comforts. My skin is of no more value than is yours," he smilingly told his staff when they urged him to leave the trenches and seek safety. My place is on the firing 1ine.''
 He<was stubborn in his defense of the last few square miles of his coun- try, where he and his army stood with their back to the sea.
 He did not remove his headquarters from Furness until the shrapnel had practically wrecked the building. One shell exploded within few feet of a window near which he was sitting.
 "He has no dwelling," someone wrote of him a few weeks later. "He does not quit his soldiers. "He eats the ordinary fare, changing his shirt when he can, works eighteen hours day, and has slept four nights running on the cushions of his automobile"
 At about this time his role was nobly pictured in one of Punch's car toons, which showed Albert and the kaiser side by side, surveying a rav-

for and cheering her wounded country men. Before her marriage she had done most unprincesslike thing-she had studied medicine at Leipzig and won doctors degree there.
 She gave up the services of all the ladies of her personal suite and ar ranged for them to become war nurses.
 She several times reviewed troops while enemy planes were flying over- head, likely to begin bombing at any moment.
 She visited the Belgian soldiers in the trenches, often going to parts of the line under shell fire.
 She made at least one trip in Bel gian plane over the German lines, and frequently crossed the channel by plane to visit her children.
 She followed close on the heels of the retreating German army last fall in order to be of succor to the wretch ed refugees.
 While the Germans were still in the outskirts of Ostend she entered the harbOr in a British destroyer, although it was momentar1ly in danger of be- ing sunk by the German artillery fire, and she was giving aid to Belgian civil ians in Ostend while the city was within shell range of the withdrawing enemy.

aged land.
 Well, sire, you have lost every thing" William observeed, sardonic- ally.
 And Albert answered, Not my soul!"
 All through the bitter winter of 1915 he went from his headquarters at La Panne to point after point along the Belgian front-wherever the fire was heayiest-as much in peril of wounds or death as any common sol dier
 Tn the first twelve months of the war his chauffeur, bribed heavily, at- tempted to take him inside the Ger man lines, and, according to the story King Albert shot the man dead with his own hand.
 The perfect simplicity of his manner noted alike by correspondents and sol diers. One of our men came back with a charming story of how Albert in his plane made a landing near the Americans post and asked him for a match.
 q had heard of 'Albert's chariot the American said, "and I thought recognized the face So I said, Aren't you the king of the Belgians""
 ''I'm Albert" was the monarch's matter-of-fact reply. And he passed his cigarettes.
 His first speech in Brussels after his joyous and triumphant entry last November contained a promise of equal suffrage.

His Second Visit

His visit to America, by the way, is his second sojourn in this country. Be ing the nephew of his royal predeces- sor, and not the direct heir, his youth was infinitely freer than that of most rulers, and he travelled widely, learn ing of cities and men," He came to this country, was entertained in New York, and made a special inspection of our railroad systems under James J. Hill, and of the oil plants in Bay onne, and other industries.

The Queens War Activities

His wife, Queen Elizabeth, has an equally fine war record. When the Belgians were expelled from Brussels she first took to the home of Lord Cur zon, in England her three children Prince Leopold, then 13 years of age; Prince Charles, II, and Princess Marie Jose, 8.
 She set up her home in the simplest and most unpretentiOus of seaside villas at La Panne, village in the tiny strip of Belgium just behind the firing line, which never fell into the enemy's hands. This became known to the Germans as the headquarters of Albert and Elizabeth, and was sub jected to incessant aerial lombard ment.
 She immediately opened large hos pitaI, containing 1,600 beds, in what had been the Hotel de POcean at La Panne. Being only two hours from the trenches, all the worst cases were taken to this hospital
 She not only superintended it's Op- eration, but she herself spent long hours in a Red Cross uniform, caring

MOSTNATURAL R0YALCOUPLE
 VISIT AMERICA

When King Albert and Queen Eliza beth of Belgium came to the United States a few days ago, the world S most democratic nation took special pleasure in extending it's hospitality to the worlds most democratic royal ties.
 For if ever king and queen justi- fled their existence according to the sternest standards of modern critics, 1t is this pair, who, for four and half years of their country's agony, fought with their people, lived with their peo- pie, shared with their people the dan- gers, the hardships, the endurance, the 1abors of the worst and greatest of wars.
 Other royalties took shelter far from the firing line, and served their coun- try by putting the palace on a prohi- bition basis for the duration of the war, and by pinning medals graciously on the breasts of mutilated heroes from the trenches. Albert and Eliza beth never left their armies.
 King Took Personal Command In August, 1914, King Albert indig- nantly refused to treat with the Ger mans who asked him for a right of way to crush France, called Belgium to the colors through a ringing mes sage to both houses of parliament, and took personal command of the Belgian armies.
