Standing Wnh outSiireaa arms before an audience that packed tho Auditorium, Georges ClemsDceau to-day pleaded with America to save Frar-e from pouBls extinction.
 Patiently seeking Co rp.sin away ths charges of mlitsrLsTn and imperialism brought against his country. the old Tiger declared that Frsnce sought only peana, but that war was being forced lrDon her,
 ''If France doos not get the heIp nat she needs" he declared ip srnotion-ladesl tocns. ''she may perhans disappezr. Athens was a de7nocrs.v. very great and very fine. But she diszup.arrd. And is Franco were to dissTuesr. ] fsliovc that some day the people would begin to look around and ask if somathing had not dts- appeared that had brought life to ths world
 The aged p>smicrs audience hung on his every word intsrrJptinE hitn twica to drive him back behind a loud speaking device which would carry his weak vocs through the big house. He Vas interrupt ed by frequent oUtbursts Of applause. Clemenceau took for his text the epi- taph that he read last week sa Grants tomb in New York-"Let us havn peacr."
 Since the world has been" he con- tinued. 'it has always been fhr feeling n every mans heart that he wanted peacr.

 .It is a great pity that war is -o cruel; that it brings with it blocdsiled nd things
 we hardly dare think of nov. Eeyerthe- | less that was really a beautiful and in- | spiring time, when men were ready "a 1 give their lives for a great cause. when | they were ready to die for a -vorid-a | world which represented the fines7 and most exquisite part Of human heart and
 thought.
 But that Is do7e. Thc var ts oyrr.

 Asserting France had continually been
 called militaristic and iinin-iaiistic. tho . Tiger declared he had determined to =fTa some official figures to show why Franc1
 
 at least until she could obtain guaran-
 tees of her safety from the United States |, and Great Britain.
 He repeated first the fEurrz ho had previously given concerning Frances war :: losses in killed and wounded and in de- , vaatation of her homer. factories and mines Then he plunged into the sunjeci of arms and munitions which he declared
 had been hidden away tn Germany for tss [ next war.

 B. Multiply that by fifty and you hav B. some idea Of what has been found si -s Germany by the inter-slised commtSssoi
 since July 1891. The Germans hay 1t been getting this large amount Of arm i- ament. don't you think. for the purpo- ,e Of destroying us? It certainly Is nd z. for any peaceful operation. l- Their finances have been deplete
 for the purpose Of destroying US. The 10 have not paid us, and we have been un ip able to pay our own oosgzEons. O S- through the schools Of Germany an le you will find that they are teschin C. hatred Of the French.
