CLEMENCEAU, THE LIVELY
FRENCHMAN

Now that the eX-Premicr, Georges
Clemenceau, has gone back to France
we can talk behind his back, as it
were.
Many years ago, in 1777, in fact,
a gallant Frenchman, Marquis de La
fette, came to this couatry not to lee
ture us but to fight in the Revolu-
tionary War for the American colo
nies. He can'c-laci; to us in 1924
and he did not lecture then but was
received everywhere with joyful
greetings and was voted S2Cc,00O b.
congress. But our recent visito: mas
received only criticism.
Not directly, but rather Indirect
ly, the Tiger of France intimated that
the United States should help France
collect her German debt OF TO put it
roughly, pull her chestnuts out of the
fire. AS one newspaper says, ,"Cle-
menceau does not seem to realize that
the U. S. A. enlisted only for the du-
ration of the war and not for the du-
ration of the peace"
The French people and their spokes-
man do not seem to realize that the
more oppressive that nation is to
Germany the more difficult it will
be to collect their debt Take away
the means by which German indus
tries are to thrive, with what will that
defeated nation pay? France has
got back from Germay the territory
of Alsace-Lorraine that the Germans
took in 1871.
But Clemenceau claims that Ger
many is preparing for another war
and he wants Uncle Sam to ally him.
self once more with France. He
claims that great crisis is approach
ing, general European war threaten
ed. That being the case may it not
be good reason why the United
States should keep out of Europe and
European affairs?

E. Baldwin. and the latter by ex-Sen- ator Beveridge. He said that biog- raphy as well as history is beneficial to the young man intending to pur sue law course.
 He urged the discussion of political questions among the young men so that they may come to have an under standing of the fundamentals of law. He said that if the young men make a habit of observing the manner of making laws they may not object to some of them so much. People can not live together until they learn to accept the Judgment of the majority.
 ''The objection to lawyers is deep seated, even in early times there hav- ing been an objection to them. It is a historical fact that in some New England towns laws were passed against them, the lawyers being forced to leave town. Of course, some of them deserve that feeling, but it is usually the evil members of all or ganizations who make the rest suffer-" the speaker said.
 Lawyers are important individuals in any community The troubles the lawyers see are those resulting from the people living together, lawsuits and other things.
 Is Not Easy Money.
 He continued: Many people think that it is easy to earn money as a lawyer. It is not. There is one way in which things are becoming harder. Before being admitted to the Con- necticut bar a man must have High school education and must have spent three years in a law school or four years in a law office. The examna- tions are extremely strict and there are a large number who fail to pass them. Furthermore, there is moral examination which the candidate must pass, the examination being car ried on by committee of members of the bar association. If the man is not of good moral character he is not admitted"
 'The American Bar association has asked to increase the requirements to two years of college besides the three in law school" he said. Some wlIi' say, Isn't that unfair? Are the law yers who are already members of the bar trying to keep others out?'" The speaker explained that they are not attempting to save the work for themselves. They are attempting to protect the individuals who need le- gal advice, from crooked lawyers. An educated man may be dishonest, but, as a rule, the man who has the cour- age and the ambition to work at pre- pairing for this profession is honest. ford to go through college. That ford to gothrough college. That should be no drawback. Now, any boy who has backbone and courage should not hesitate. Young men are now able to work their way through most colleges, the bureau of appoint ments at Yale having charge of aid ing young men to find positions there. The bureau publishes booklet which will be sent upon request.
 When man is admitted to the bar he must spend great deal of time in getting settled and preparing to earn money. Usually man secures job in law office first. The men who get the jobs arc those who have good positions in their class work. It is easy to secure jobs for them: 1t is not easy to do this for the others. The offices are looking for men of high standing, now.
 Tt is said that one must be a great orator in order to be good lawyer.

This is not especially true. But what are needed are industry, intelligence, courage and character" the lecturer said.
 MT. Clark then defined these char acteristlcs. He said that client has entire faith in his lawyer and it is easy for that lawyer to do wrong The penalty, however, for crooked deal ings is severe; the offending one Is disbarred at once and this, together with the disgrace resulting from it, makes the penalty a great one."
 First" said MT. Clark, "by all means do not decide upon the law profession unless you are willing to work. Do not decide that way unless you are going to have character and backbone"
 In conclusion, he said that the pro- fession needs men of character; men without it are not wanted.

 New Britain State Trade school basketball team was defeated 26 to 1s by Boardman Trade school in a bitterly contested battle at the High school gymnasium.

s2OO,OOO IN PENALTIES
 FOR SALE OF BEER

Charges alleging the manufacture and sale of malt liquor of prohibited alco- holc content by the Hubert Fischer Brewery Inc, Nos. e73-685 Park street, Hartford, have been lodged with Chief E. C. Yellowley of the general prohib.- tion agents at Washington, D. C., by Mack Overpeck, head of the flying squadron now operating in New Eng land. The assessment of taxes and pen alties of $200,000, the largest applied in any Connecticut case for alleged vio- lations of the national prohibition and revenue acts, and vigorous prosecu- ton" of the officers of the brewery, are recommended.
 The discovery of a loaded motor truck about to leave the brewery early in the morning of May led to an ex- haustive investigation by the flying squadron" which resulted in a report charging that over 16.O00 barrels of malt liquor were made and removed from the brewery in q year up to that date. Con- siderable quantities of alleged beer were shipped to Middletown and Southington m motor trucks, and sold over the bar in those places, according to com. plaint
 Two federal agents stepped up to the driver of the motor truck as he was preparing to depart, and ordered hin i to wait while they took samples iron each of about a barrels that had beer | loaded into the truck. One remained or guard over the truck while the othel entered the brewery rackins room There he was joined by two more federal mel i who had apparently been hiding in thu vicinity.

The agents reported that consid erable near-beer from the brewery wa sold to the Hartford trade.1 but tha none of the alleged illegal beer was pu
 on sale in that city.
