CLENENCEAU
 AGAIN SCORED
 IN THE SENATE
Various Solons Attack His Speeches and the French Policy-Negro Gre
 ates a Stir.

or France again came under fire in the Senate yesterday when his speeches in the United States were the subject of conflicting debate was enliyened by an interruption from the galleries by a negro sol dier.
 Senator Hitchcock, Democrat of Nebraska, former chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, opened the debate with an attack on M. Clemenceau and son French policies, and was joined by other senators, while Senator Myers, Democrat of Montana came to the defense of the aged Frenchman. Senator Owen, Democrat of Oklahoma, also ex- pressed sympathy with Clemenceau' s mission" to America, but he crit icized French policies.
 IL was during MT. IIitckcock's att tack on the wartime premier in connection with alleged atrocities of black French colonials in Germany that the negro soldier, who later gave his name as Lucius Jones, a patient at government hospital near here, arose in the gallery and sought to question the senator.
 Vice President Coolidge banged the gavei, and Senate attendants rushed forward and restrained the negro, so that the question never was asked, but excitement prevailed in the sen ate. The negro soon left tho gal lcries, but returned for the remain der of the debate, while Senator Heflin, Democrat of Alabama, an gered at what he termed an insult" to the Senate, demanded the blacks expulsion.
 There had been discrimination, the Alabama senator said, declaring that in the past, white women have been elected from the galleries of both the Senate and the House for in- terrupting debates while this time the dsturber was permitted to re- main.
 Negro Not Punished.
 Senators Custss, Republican of Kansas, and Hitchcock, however, ex- pressed the belief that the negro had acted through ignorance. and no action was taken. Senator Hitch cock especially criticised the state- ments of Clemenceau i'll reference to the quartering of French black troops on the Rhine, declaring the former premier's denials of the use of these troops has been disproyed. He also attacked the French repara- tions demands on Germany.
 Senator Myers, in defending Clem- enceau, deplored Senator Hitchcock's criticism of the Frenchman, and commended French policies toward Germany. Senator Owen, although criticising French policies, said the visitor was making q pathetic ap- pear" to America.
 He declared, however, that Clcm- enceau himself was largely responsi- ble, through the Versailles treaty, for present European difficulties, and he predicted that the American people will not cooperate with France while she continues her pres ent policies.
 Nevertheless, he added, he believ-
 ~r xui1I nf great value in the discussion, frank ly, honestly, fearlessly," of matters under public discussion as result of the former premier's utterances. At the same time, he said, he keenly sympathizes with the French people and their sufferings.
 Clemenceau Refused
 Senator Hitchcock, replying par- ticularly to M Clemenceau's state ment that no back troops remain in Germany, presented figures to show that 23,000 black colonials were in Germany last month. The Me- braska senator also said the repara- tiOU tNb-dhuo Oh 'Si Hi"by oAS 'ti possible"
 Senator Myers declared he resent led having Clemenceau "rebuked and asSailed,'' and that he was ill com plete agreement with his "argu- ment that America erred in not joining the League of Nations.
 The Montana senator also de- plored what he said were "expres- sions of sympathy for Germany" by Senator Hitchcock. Every dol lar laid on Germany in separations should be collected, and I have no sympathy with the whining of Ger many against France" said Senator Myers, who pictured the former kaiser as '.feasting and making merry because the allies have been too lenient with Germany.
 There is no manner of doubt
