.Clemenceau Speaks On The

Old Tiger Says Work Done at Paris Will Occupy Greater Space Than
 Entry of Turk.

Paris, Oct. 1. Correspondence of 4. P.)-Premier Clemenceau's- de1iv- cry of his peace ratification treaty speech in the Chamber of Deputies was very laborious and he coughed repeatedly. This was regarded as evi-- dence that he had not completely re- covered from the effects of Cottin's bullet. His voice at times became al- most inaudible, deputies, spectators alike fearing a collapse of the old statesman.
 Responding to the criticism that the peace conference had lasted too long NJ. Clemenceau cited the Westphalian congress ending the Thirty Years war, which lasted seven years; while the Paris peace conference had lasted only seven months
 'I am sure,'' said NJ Clemenceau. that the work accomplished by tho conference will occupy a greater space in history than the entrance of Mo- hammed II into Constantinople.
 Every one laughed.
 With very rare exceptions. deputies and spectators did not seem to realize that Clemenceau was in earnest; that the entrance of Nohammed IT. into Constantinople is regarded as the end of the Middle Ages and the com mencement of the period known as modern times.''
