Mr.. Kohlsaat was propped up in bed
with pillows when his visitor entered
his room.
I'D like to hurry up and get we'll
SO ! could run across and see you in
France" Mr.. Kohlsaat smiled happily.
We'll, you hurry and come over,''
promised Clemenceau, "and I'll not die
until you come"
Heartened by the visit ME-. Kohlsaat.
as Clemenceau turned to go out of
the room, called out: "Old Tiger,
think l'll be we'll in week"
Before going M. Clemenceau had ac-
cepted an invitation to visit Potter
ra!mer, MIR. Kohlsaat's son-in-law, in
Chicago.
Quitting the Biltmore the motor
cars whizzed across greensboro
Bridge, through Long Island City,
riushing, Wheatley Hills, Jericho,
woodbury. and Cold Spring Harhor to
,he Soo-acre estate of Otto Kahn. The
banker, IN riding breeches, greeted his
guest by showing him copy of Ding's
cartoon Coming Over to Get Ac-
quainted," published in The Tribune
on Saturday. and the Tiger was de-
lighted to see himself caricatured be-
side Uncle Sam. About the League of
Nations he was discreetly silent.
Besides those in Clemenceaus party,
the others at the Kahn luncheon table
were Mr.. and Mrs. Kahn. their daugh-
ter Margaret their sons, Gilbert and
Roger, and Miss Margaret and Miss
Bernice Byrne, of 27O Park Avenue.
Borrows Policeman's Pen
Soon after 2 o'clock the pilgrimage
to Oyster Bay was resumed. The old
man got out of the motor car at the en-
trance to Young's Memorial Cemetery,
ms secretary carrying the wreath.
About fifty persons trailed him up the
path that leads to the ColoneI's grave.
On the summit of the hill about one
hundred other persons were waiting.
Half way up the slope Clemenceau
stopped short and began to lombard
his secretary with French verbs and
adjectives. BY some, unnamable neg
lect of some unmentionable creature
there was no card on the wreath,
Clemenceau borrowed the fountain pen
with which Motorcycle Policeman Nor
gan is accustomed to write out "tickets''
for traffic offenders. Unbuttoning his
blue, sealskin-lined overcoat, the Tiger
fished out visiting card, and then,
while Mr. and Mrs. Gibson and Colonel
and Mrs. House waited, he wrote: "a
la Memorie du Grand Theodore Roose-
velt.' On the card was inscribed &c
Clemenceau." He resumed the breath
taking walk, pausing once more for a
brief rest atsthe base of the sharp in
cline just below the grave.
The gate in the high iron fence that
| incloses the grass that covers the
! Roosevelt grave was locked. Clemen-
ceau tried the handle. Then he stood
silent and looked through. His eyes
moved back and forth as he read
Theodore Roosevelt. Born October 81
1 1858. Died January 6, 1872 several
minutes passed. He said nothing
Then he instructed the secretary to
suspend the wreath on the gate handle
He stood silently for few minutes
more. Then he lifted his hat, new
gray fedora, turned and walked SLOWLY
away.
Visit Unexpected

Hill, from the summit of which Theo
