A large crowd of relatives and

most too much for him. He will go
to his Paris home for two weeks and
then take long rest at his country
place.
Il hope for good results from my
trip to the United States" said M.
Clemenceau to the Associated

before them and they have certainly
got sense enough to Judge. 1t was
apparent that there was a vast
amount of interest in me personally
for which / am most grateful. 1t is
a rare compliment"
Later he added:
Maybe it is too soon, but it is
my opinion. Say please, to our
friends in the United States !:
Merry Christmas and happy
New Year from an old friend. My
first thought on sight of France was
that l was glad to be home; second,
that l was sorry that had left the
United States.'"
Asked what he thought of the rep

sible occupation of the Ruhr, "The

o Push Hotel Project Early in 1923
Wander Vennet Store Is
Swept By a $45,000 Fire;
Flames Threatened Block

It was with great difficulty that
the firemen were able to enter the
building. The first floor caved in
and great clouds Of smoke filed
the structure, hindering work Of
the firemen.
Thousands of people hocked
around the scene Of the fire and
watched the huge masses of smoke
and flames. For time it was
feared that the entire block would
be destroyed by the flames. Only
the lack of a wind saved the other
buildings in the block.
The fire was under control at
o'clock this afternoon. The whole
of the interior Of the building was
destroyed and all the stock demol-
ished. The fixtures on the second
and third floors were destroyed.
The building was known as the
Pierr building and was one of the
landmarks of Moline.
The origin of the fire is unknown
although it is thought to have
started from overheated pipes in
the basement. A great deal of dam
age was done by the water and
smoke.
