CLEMENCEAUM MAY KICK OR HAVING
 FEATURES CAST

Paris, Sept. 25.-CCorrespondence of Ths Associated Press) ).-The re port from New York that President Wilson has expressed a desire to have casts of the features of all the prin- ciDa1 delegates at the Peace Con ference is causing much speculation in the Partisan artistic world as to the probable reception which Premier Clemenceau will make to the re- quest.
 Ten years ago when the late Rodin on his famous bust of the Tiger" which Clemenceau says looks as much like him as he looks like Joan of Arc, Rodin asked and obtain ed permission to make a cast Of Clemenceau's features.
 Clemenceau submitted to the apDli- cation of layers of paraffine oil, soap and plaster to his face, fiddled ner- vously for ten minutes while Rodin was massaging his features, then sud- denly asked: How much longer are you going to handmade me in this way?"
 Another half hour" replied Rodin carelessly.
 Clemenceau leaped from the chair. rushed to the nearest wash stand and proceeded to erase all traces of the cast from his face. He then gave Rodin his photograph.

ROMANS SECURED
 MOST OF YANKEE .DOUGHBOYS' CASH

Rome, Sept. -(Corresponden of The Associated Press) ).-"Itching palms were extended to the enlisted personnel attached to General Persh- ing's staff during the American com 7nander-in-c chiefs visit to Rome. Cab drivers, professional guides, profes- sional beggars, novelty vendors and guide book sellers preyed upon the Arlerican doughboys with avidity. One soldier paid S5 to be driven from the station to St Peters, a trip or dinarily costing from 40 cents or, by trolley, four cents.
 Professional guides reaped a har- vest at the Coliseum and at St Pc ter's where they played the part of ''con1dence" men by offering to take the soldiers to parts of these monu- ments not ordinarily open to the pub lie.
 A guide at the Coliseum eXaCted S4 for taking three privates and a ser geant through the upper tiers while another guide at St. Peters demanded s7 for taking two boys through the Vatican museum, both of which arc free to the public.
 A cab driver agreed to take three rrivates over the ancient Appian way for s6. He took them on a trip of the city of Rome for about an hour, told them they had seen all and demand ed his fare which they paid.
