TIGER" IN WAR POSE.
Statue Eight Feet High to Honor
Heroic French Premier.

PARIS, July Clemenceau is
shown at the front. standing at the
edge of a trench, with his friends the
French poilus below and about him.
in the monument to be erected in his
native country, the Vendee. early next
year.
Francois Sicard, the sculptor, is
chiseling the group work out of hard
Burgundian stone. Unfinished, the
work is already said to visualize with
great character the scene so often
pictured of the old Tiger" mentally
and almost physically. fighting for
France.
The premier's figure stands eight
feet high. He is. as always in the war
days. wearing the long, loose over
coat and the soft. slouchily crumpled
hat. leaning on a cane. His face is
toward the enemy, his eyes watching
the horizon. following indications
given him by a seated officer with
maps. beside him. On his right are
grouped soldiers and in the trench
below are more of the men in the
ranks, looking with mingled astonish-
ment and admiration at their minister
of war.
The scene is said by critics to be
wildly natural, rough and muddy,
but heroic and full of the color and
character of war days.

From reliable authorities in the

the government is much dissatisfied
with the recent decision of the
Boulogne conference. The government
believe that the Turkish treaty is
harsh and unavoidable and would like
to see it revised in such way that
Turkey coald remain a visible state
and SO prevent dissention among the
allies over the division of spoils. Thus
the Ottoman government might be
able to repay part of its huge foreign
debts.

prove the idea of Greek military

place to place, but it can hardly dis

ROME, Italy, July 2.-Some idea of
present conditions in Italy may be
gained from the following headlines
in the Messagero newspaper:
Surrender of mutinous Bersagieri
at Anconna. Numerous conflicts in
the streets between anarchists and
police"
Strike in the Belluno district. Sol
diers disarmed and wounded
General strike at Cremona. Sc
we're measures for the maintenance
of order. Numerous arrests"
violence and looting at Piombino."
Disturbance in Parliament.
In an account of a recent parlia-
mentary session the same paper gave
the details of an argument between
Deputy Ciriani. conservative, and Dep
uty Misiano, socialist. Ciriani first
called Misiano a deserter and Misiano
retorted that Ciriani fought from
ambush. Deputy Modigliani, in de-
Tense of Misiano, declared that the
latter had fought behind Berlin bar
ricades.
Then" continued the article. "Ci-
riani rapidly descended the stairway
to throw himself upon Misiano. This
was the signal for a violent fist fight
which took place upon the floor be-
fore the stenographers' table. Sew
eral members of the right tried in
vain to separate the fighters. Minds
were excited and blows fell abundant
ly The cabinet ministers, with Pre-
mier Giolitti in their midst, looked on
impassively at the spectacle of vio-
lence."
Hint Of Revolution.
Does it mean revolution? Some OBJ
servers say:
Certainly. 1t is not merely sign
of the times .
This is the answer to those Amer
leans who wonder why European re-
construction is proceeding SO slowly.
