Clemenceau Back
From Trip Wants
To Be Left Alone

Paris, April 21.--Former Premier
Georges Clemenceau, who has beer
visiting Egypt for the past two months
arrived here this morning. He was
alert and smiling but avoided inter.
viewers and would not be photo
graphed. He was met at the station
by members of his family. MANY
prominent men were present.
When he landed at Marseilles yes
terday efforts were made to get the
aged statesmen to talk but all were
futile.
The war is over isn't it?" he ex-
claimed to the correspondent of the
Journal. "Yes? Well, all / want is to
be left alone"
What am I going to do?" Why,
Just live until / die"
The Tiger" growled out briei lni-
pressions of his visit to Egypt while
the elephant tusk and mummy he
brought back from the land of the
Pharoahs were ching placed on the
dock.
Il got fine case of bronchistis and
found myself stuck in the middle Of
Egypt with both lungs out of commits
sion. That's what comes from believ-
ing in mirages Evidently shall not
die from it, for | am still more solid
than my dear friends think, but ii pre-.
vented me from visiting Palestine as / !
