 The chamber speech was but on, of the high spots in the most stirring day Clemenceau has had since he ar. rived here last Saturday for a tour the aim of which was 10 be the win. ming of America to closer relation. ship with France.
 The After The War "Good-bye"
 He pictured us as having gone to France to fight, and then when the war was over saying "Good-by, gen. tlemen, will sec you maybe when you fight again in two or three hundred years" At another stage he said it would be great piece of news if Eng land or America should decide to send her soldiers and great num- her of good workers" He was ironic In his treatment of the league of na- tions, which he called new name tor very old thing, thing that failed" but he wondered If something could not be done without any title" He repeated his assertion that Ger man militarists are preparing for an- ether war.

 Clemenceau was delighted. Leading he Pole by the hand, he almost danced down stairs to the music room, like a boy and summoning he household to "come and hear"
 Paderewski seated himself, looked It the Tiger a moment as though for then leaned back, closed lis eyes and played.
 Plays Four Times > Four times he played. And through all from first to last, Clemenecau at erect in chair staring intently t his friend, his features kaleido- cope of the passion and pathos of the music.
 As Paderewski finished and pre- ared to take leave Clemenceau ca essed his again.
 "Ah, my friend; my heart is full f happiness. What man you are! -ou are more than musician. You re poet and there is poetry in your ngers."
