" EoRGES CLEMENcEAC sails
today for home, and it may
not be amiss to tell now what
il might have embarrassed
him to relate while he was still our
guest. 1t has to do with his trip 10
America and the financing Of it; for be
it known that Clemenceau. after more
than half a century of devotion to pub
lie service, is poor man. with no
money to pay the costs OF transatlantic
jauntings.
From his quiet retreat at Nendee the
veteran watched events go marching
hy and knew they were not gong Well.
rho music they marched to Was dis
corlant and the marchers were out ot
sten. Four years had seen but little OF
healing in the wounds of war. anu IN
France particularly, sores were lester
ING France. he feared, had lost the
svmnathy of the world and was in dan
ger of being left alone to nurse her
hurts There had been blundering, he
knew. and while he did not hold MS
own country guiltless of misadvenfure
he believed a better understanding OF
her tlitficulties would bring softening in
the judgments which had been formed
as to her policies and programs.
And there came to him call rot un-
like that which came to a maiden at
Domremy five hundred years ago.
France was in danger and the spirits
summoned him to play the role of
savior, But difficulties confronted him.
as they confronted the untutored coun-
try girl who won victories for an in
rr,to king The wears which had
brought him much Of wisdom had given
him little Of wealth, but they had not
failed to lay their heavy burden upon
his body. His spirits told him to jour
ney to America and interpret France.
But he had not the means to go and he
doubted If he had the strength.
Funds were offered him, but he re-
fused to accept money that entailed OBJ
legation. He wanted to be free TO
speak his mind without restraint OF any
kind and he was too touchy Of his
honor to risk offending a benefactor.
The lecture platform was suggested as
an effective way to put over a message
and to do 1t with profit, but he revolted
against asking people to pay to hear
a plea in behalf of his native land.
Finally, 1t was suggested by American
United States constituted fair and un-
prejudiced forum through which he
could reach millions. as against the
thousands which could hear his voice:
that he could write for the newspapers
with the same freedom from restraint
that the newspapers would be willing
to pay literally for the product Of his
pen.
So Il was arranged that The Star and

How Clemenceau Paid Expenses
of His Visit to This Country

it in the North American Newspaper
Alliance should accept and pay for a
series of six articles by Clemenceau.
and these articles were published at in
tervals during the period Of his visit.
There Were no restrictions in the con-
tract. Clemenceau wrote just what he
thought and the papers published what
he wrote, regardless Of their editorial
views on the subjects he discussed.
Out of the proceeds Of his newspaper
articles the former premier paid all eX-
penses of his American trip, even in
ssting upon going into his own pocket
TO pay for the wreaths he placed upon
the tombs of Washington and other
famous Americans. In most Of the
private homes of friends. which gave
him the quiet he desired and reduced
expenses. but aside from the usual
courtesies extended distinguished ris-
tors. he declined to be placed under
obligations to any one.
X * *
And when it was found that his earn
ings had been more than his expendi-
lures. Clemenceau announced that he
could not bring himself to profit from q
visit which had been so great a pleasure
and in which he had been accorded SO
warm and generous welcome. Accord.
ingly, he arranged that the surplus Of
his earnings should be donated to the
fellowship fund OF the field service OF
American and French universities, a
movement which has for its object the
establishment and maintenance Of moro
friendly relations between the United
States and France.
So there has come to an end an un-
usual visit made under most unusual
circumstances. 1t may be that Clemen-
ceau is not the first European visitor
who has come to US with a message
and refused to take any Of our dollars
in exchange for il, but the number ia
so small that the class to which he be.
longs is not at all too crowded for COM
fort.

A Lodge in the Wilderness.
"Oh, for some lodge in a vast wilder
ness!'
I thought it was signal of distress.
But he who paused to quote the old
refrain
Smiled gayly as I begged him to ex-
plain.
"Why seek you some vast wilder
ness?" quoth I.
"Would you from mans association
fly?"
NAY, nay" he answered. "You have
surely heard
How by this housing problem folks
are stirred.
For building lots there now is such
demand
That fields to suburbs overnight ex-
pand.
So, in a wilderness I'll settle down
And build some bungalows and start
town."

Federal Taxes.
The impression still exists among
some that the citizens of the District
are subject to the bounty of Congress
and that they contribute little or moth
ing to the maintenance of the federal
government. The same impression Is
sometimes evidenced in the discussions
in the halls of Congress-.
The official records OF the Treasury
Department show that there was paid
by the citizens Of the District to the
1ederal government by way of internal
revenue. customs and miscellaneous
payments for the fiscal year ending

year. the citizens Of the District paid
IN federal taxes twice as much as
tnat paid by any one OF fourteen
states and four times as much as any
one or eight states OF the Union.
For the fiscal year ended June 30.

fact that the citizens Of the District

sum Of s12.s62.474.0S.
The records for the fiscal year

was made up of sS.92S.75577 of in

That the District Of Columbia Is en-

by the following facts:
Population.

the population of the District of Co

Contribution of Troops.

1t is remarkable that although the
people OF the District Of Columb bia
| have been denied those rights of mar
tfcipating in the affairs of the gov

are conducive to patriotism, the fact
remains that when the United States
has found itself involved in war, the
people of the District have taken sec
ond place to those Of mono of the
states in offering their sons to fight
| for its cause.
Civil war-It is significant that the
District Of Columbia in each of the
! controversies in which our people
have been called to arms contributed
larger number of its sons than its
quota In the civil war they sent 49,

the estimated loyal population of the
, country as determined by the census
OF 1860, whereas it actually sent into

four-flfths greater than it's share.
Spanish war-An examination of the
census Of 1900 discloses that the pro-
portion Of men which should properly
come from the District was thirty
seven one-hundredths of 1 per cent.
whereas 1t actually sent about one
fourth greater than the proportion
