INV Ei nvn M,cpiEEt
(BY FLOYD M'eRiFF.)

London, Dec. ILL. N. S.)-Pre
mier Clemenceau of France arrive,
hero today to confer with Lloy,
George on serious world question:
Of the hour"
Vittorio Scioloia, the italian foreign
minister, Is also in London and 1t Is
believed he will take part in some of
the discussions. Although it has been
denied. the report that a triple en-
tente" may be proposed persisted In
circulation today. This would In
clude England. France and Italy.
M. Clemenceau arrived at Victoria
station at 1906 o'clock and was
given an ovation. Earl Curzon, the
foreign secretary; Premier Lloyd
George and other officials rendered
an informal reception to the veteran
French French .sa statesman, ssaas,a. A big crowd
II was learned from an authorita-
tive. source that the conference would
probably bear upon the following
matters:
/. Economic position Of Great
Britain and France.
2. Future of Turkey.
3. The Russian situation.
4. The Adriatic dispute be-
tween Italy and Jugo-Slavia, the
disposition of Fiume, which Is
now occupied by Italian raiders
under Gabriel D'Annunzio.
All indications were that England
and France had decided to go ahead
with the great problems left by the
end OF the war without the United
States. 't.'+''-
A great amount of press comment
heralded the coming, of M. Clemen-
ceau.. In some quarters his visit was
interpreted as meaning that he plans
soon to relinquish the premiership
and wishes to fortify his peace work
before retiring to private life. In
this connection belief was expressed
that MI. Clemenceau feared that the
work Of the peace conference might
be weakened through the mluctance
OF the United ,tates to ratify the
treaty, the league OF nations and the
Anglo Franco American triple pact"
unless there are stronger safeguards.
Premier Clemenceau Is said by some
to feel that the labors of the Paris
conference could only be assured by
permanent confederation of the
dominant European allies.

The French Tiger" was in a ge-
nial mood and said he was ready to
get down to work at ONE.
