 For nearly three years following the Paris conference Clemenceau has liv- ed the life of a hermit. He has re- fused to reveal any of the secrets of the conference and even to defend his course during the negotiations. He has refrained from taking any part whatsoever in French public af- fairs.
 As conditions grew from bad to worse, owing to the problem of Ger man reparations and the general DO iiticaI, financial and economic crisis of Europe these two big stateSme en- the most DO verful in Fr;lnce-decid- ed to put their personalities aside for the future salvation of their coun- 'ry.
 Here as Private Citizen.
 It was obvious that Clemenceau would have to come to Am ssrica as a simple French citizen rather than as France could not officially plead her cause with the American people. es- peciaIly with m administration in power which is on record as opposing most of the things that FraILce stands for.
 There was a marked absence of of ficiaI attention when the great war premier embarked for America at Havre on Armistice day. While all France was celebrating the armistice which Clemenceau, perhaps more than any other man., made possible. not even a subordinate official of the French government was at the dock to bid the fighting statesman good speed.
 In America, however, the situation was different. Ambassador Jusserand was master of cerem onies. He was the first to greet C1emenceau, well coming him as a great compatriot.
 sC1emenceau himself talked freeYy and wittily but he carefully refrained from giving any fnkling of the real purpose of his visit.

COMBINING OF CITY AND TOWN CLERK OFFICES

Mayor Fred Atwater today stated that the Charter Revision committee, the committee that is to report to the December meeting of the Commo OF Council. will not recommend the combining of the offices of city clerk and town clerk. as has been suggest ed.
 Though Mayor Atwater believes that the town clerks office is doing Zoo much work for the amount and number of deeds filed for recording, he believes that it is impractical to combine the two offices as each has a distinct duty. Another stumbling block, is that the office of town clerk is considered somewhat of a state controlled office and this would tend to hinder the combination.
 However, the mayor indicated that the committee might recommend a
