Now on Way to u. S.

Paris, Nov. 10.-The departure OF
Georges Clemenceau for the United
States, there to speak in person to the
American people on behalf of France,
has brought out a number Of anec-
dotes of the Grand Old Man of
France" who is credited with contrib
uting as much and perhaps more.
than any other statesman to bringing
about the downfall of Germany in the
world war by filling France with the
invincible spirit of the conqueror.
After lifetime of viscissitudcs,
Clemenceau once declared: Il am
Younger now than I was 10 years ago.
He said this even while carrying in his
body the bullet of an assassin. and
while suffering from a broken rib sis
tanned while crossing the English
Channel.
Explaining his remark. the former
Premier declared: "Idleness and old
age are twin sisters. / avoid them.
The way to keep young and vigorous is
never to let your mind grow inactive
and to work, work. work. Preserve
strength of mind and you vanquish
age; that IS the secret Of perpetual
youth.
II believe it is weak-minded to
grow old" he told certain members
of his suite after his famous anti
Bolshevik speech in Strasburg in 1919.
Clemenceau's day had been hard one.
with many receptions, journeys and
discussions Of serious diplomatic
Questions but he appeared at dinner
that night fresher than many of his
young colleagues.
1t was some time before this, while
he was on che of his customary Jaunts
into the country. when he walked " or
IL miles without showing very great
fatigue, that he discovered his now
famous retreat, two-roomed fisher
mans hut close to the seashore, near
Ducon, in Vendee. Bare of comforts
and conveniences it is just the KIND OK
a shelter the Tiger" of France would
seek for a well-earned rest. 1t is only
a short distance from the former
Premie's birthplace and stands almost
alone on the barren sands. OFTEN ne
walks to the village where he con-
verses with the old town folk, few OF
whom knew him as a boy.
Clcmenceau's rigorous life was con-
tinued even after he accepted Presi-
dent Poincare's invitation to form
War Ministry in 1917, when for the
second time he became Premier OF
France. In civil life he arose with the
birds and retired often at sunset. A
glass of milk and few crackers was
his usual repast at 3 A. NJ, in summer
and 430 o'clock in winter. An hour or
two later he sat down to hearty
breakfast, the main portion Of which
was generally a dish Of macaroni and
cheese with melted butter. About
1890 P. NJ. he INDUCED in luncheon, a
simple meal of couple of eggs. per-
haps, and few vegetables. Dinner at
7 p. NJ. was practically mcatless. con-
sisting largely of vegetables and fruits.
He eats very slowly.

Although radical in French politics,
Ciemenceau had no use for Bolshevisn.

In December of 1919 he said: I'VE not

not compromise with the government

we will be the allies of all peoples at

same time expressed his confidence in
the Observation-Disclosures agreements
and predicted solution OF the Fiume
problem.
THE Fiume question has been agon'
ling" he declared. Italy promised
Fiume to the Jugo-Slavs but went back
on her promise. France, England and
the United States have sought a solu-
ton and the latest indications are that
1T will be reached. Only when this Is
accomplished can we begin to breathe

One Readers View Point

Gardiner. Maine, Nov. 10, 90
To the Editor of the
kennebec Journal:
Dear Sir:
I am glad the kcnnebcc Journal
has at last decided to look things
squarely in the face. 1t is a good
thing to occasionally take stock of
ones self and ones policies and the
*. j. is doing it none too soon.
There is tidal wave of Democracy
sweeping the country, not because
there are any more democrats than
usual but because democrats and
republicans alike are both thoroughly
disguised with existing conditions
and greatly desire a change.
The bootlegging business is regu-
lated by the demand. The human
stimulants on the one hand and
profits on the other brings them
together. 1t is hard to understand
how any honest man can say he
believes prohibition to be a benefit
when you consider what it has done
to Maine during the last sixty years.
1t has made us a joke: the wettest
state in the nation, noted for it's
bootleggers. hard drinkers and cor
rupt officials. How could it be other
wise? 1--WE We're deluged with the
cheap Whistles they would not drink
in licensed states. No wonder crime
is on the increase with this condition
extended to the whole United States
and the deluge coming from all parts
of the world.
l could tell you of "wet" parties
in our own little city of Gardiner
held by people who claim residence
in Augusta and vote for prohibition.
But what's the use? If people voted
as they drank there would be no
prohibition. Let us have done with
this hypocrisy and fanaticism and
make an honest effort to enact laws
more in accordance with the human
needs and desires of the people.
The Kennebec Journal has sized
things up pretty accurately. We are
perfectly willing to go dry or hungry
as the case may be, providing the
other fellow does the same, otherwise
we are liable to upset the boat.
Yours for better laws,
d. c. Jewell.

Town, winch according 10 reports
lies in the center Of the devastated
region. Young Philip Spear and his
wife were sent last year by the
Methodist Board of Foreign Missions
to teach in Cochabamba, the capital
of the province of that name in b.
livia. About month ago they wrote
Mr.. Spears parents saying that as
soon as their school closed they
were going to Antofogasta for their
summer vacation. This letter which
arrived recently is the last news re-
ceived of them. After making allow
ance for the length of time required
for mail to come through Mr.. Spear
feels certain that his son is in An
tofogasta at this time. Both he and
Mrs. Spear are much concerned and
are anXiously awaiting news.
Two candidates have already made
the announcement that they would
seek the appointment as judge of the
municipal court in Biddeford to sue
coed Judge George l.. Emery, who
informed Governor Percival p. Baxter
by letter Wednesday, that he would
not again be candidate for re
appointment for the position. The
candidates who have already made
the announcement that they would
seek the judgeship are Attorney Fill
more 2. Harris, at present recorder
of the court, and Attorney Joseph r.
Paquin. 1t is not expected that the
appointment of Judge Emery's sue
ccssor will be announced until after
his term has expired, on December
8. No other candidates have been
mentioned for the position, and many
believe that the appointment will lie
between Recorder Harris and Attor-
ney Paquin, if local man is ap-
pointed. Any practicing attorney in
the county is eligible for appoint
mcnt to the position. but it is not
considered likely that Governor Bax-
ter will go outside the city for the
successor to Judge Emery.

At one time it seemed that no
possible good could come out of the
horrible war which the world so re-
Gently experienced. But here are
some Of the facts which it revealed:
OF those drafted half were sub
normal physically and a deplorable
number illiterate; a third only of
those claiming to be skilled in trades
possessed skill enough to be rated
as journeymen and the Government
found it necessary to train a million
and quarter men for technical
work. Now that we know of those
defects and have the means for sup
plying q remedy here would seem
to be an opportunity for those who
would really do the world a service
at least to take the matter under
Amusement.

the land and buildings were sold at
public auction 40 years ago and since
that time these old buildings have
been used by private families of the
poorer class. Late in the war of
1912. a British feet arrived in East
port harbor from Halifax and with
out firing shot or injuring per-
son took possession of old Fort Sui
Ivan on the far east Maine border
which they held nearly two years
while the two big countries were
settling the exact boundary line, and
then the English soldiers sailed away
never to return. The United STATES
troops soon returned to the fort and
remained there until 1875.

Nov. Is, 1922.
Editor Kennebec Journal,
Augusta, Maine.
Dear Sir:
I read with approval the letter
signed Citizen" in the Nov. 18th
issue of the Journal. Citizen" said.
perhaps, all that need be said about
the lack of patriotism, and appreci-
alton of World War Veterans, shown
by our Capital City on Armistice
Day. How soon our city has forgot
ten with what wild enthusiasm that
first Nov. IL was celebrated and with
what Joy and thanksgiving "Our
Boys" were welcomed home.
Citizen" spoke of the banquet
given last Saturday in their honor
The banquet was not given in honor
of World War Veterans but rather
Another sad mistake on the part of
those representing the Capital City
of our State.
Out of the several hundred World
War Veterans who did their bit for
Augusta and humanity not a very
large percentage are American Le-
gion men and were neither invited
nor wanted at that banquet. Why
should such Partially be shown be-
tween men who fought side by side
