Philadelphia
Forum Entertains
Clemenceau

Philadelphia, Dec. 9.-Thousands
of Philadelphians were disappointed
today at their inability to hear
Georges Clemenceau, "Tiger of
France deliver the last important
address in his tour of the United
States. As partial relief for their
disappointment they thronged the
streets through which the octogena-
rian statesman was to pass on his
way to Independence Hall and the
Academy of Music to catch a glimpse
of him.
The arrangements called for only
a brief visit Actually he was to be
here about ten and one half hours,
but officially several hours less than
that. His visit to this city was
under the auspices Of the Philadel-
phia forum, an organization number
ing 1000 persons, which is about the
seating capacity of the academy. A
futile effort was made to have the
"Tiger's" address made a public
function.
George Clemenceau, speaking to-
day in the city where Americas
Declaration of independence was
signed, urged that America come
back to Europe and help spread in
dependence throughout \ the world.
Ae was given an ovation as he ap-
peared on the platform of the Aca-
denny of Music. The Academy, pro-
fusely decorated with the Stars and
Stripes and the French tri-color,
was packed.

session to date. ,--e'r ~,
.lsmet, Pasha's statement of the
Turkish views on the DardaneHes
question and the reply it brought
from Lord Curzon on behalf Of the
inviting powers resulted in a, gen
eral clearing Of the conferences at

broken away from Russian control,
and foreign minister Tchitcherin and
his associates, although resentful Of
Turkeys failure to hold out for COM
plete autonomy in the straits, are
accepting the situation. j,a
Details of the Dardaneles settle

pected several days would elapse
before another general conference
session would be held to discuss the
modified plan designed to satisfy
both the Turks and the allied pow

The problem of Turkish capituls-

sponsility of suggesting cessation
of work, even for few days, while

By NEA Service
Philade lphia, Dec. 9.--In the ad-
vertisemcnts of one Of the greatest
chain of Philadelphia and New York
department stores lies the philoso-
phy of John Wanamaker, 94-year-
old millionaire merchant, who has
been suffering from a severe cold
for the last two months.
This philosophy of human SYM
pathy and cooperation is what de-
vcloped this business pioneer from
Il poor farm boy into one of the
most respected characters IN the
country.
Wanamaker was born in Philadel-
phia, July II, 1888, and remained
here all his life, except for a brief
stay in Indiana. His first incom
was $l.25 week as errand boy, but
by the tine he was % he had cs-
tablished a clothing store with Ma
than Brown, whose daughter he la
ter married.
His keeness for competition
brought him many enemies, but it
also brought him his. fortune. He
opened his present store in this city
in 1876 and 20 years later took over
the store of A. 7. Stewart in New
York, now one of the largest depart
ment stores IN the country. .
Interest in Religion
Wanamaker had other business
interests, but they did not diminish
his religious activity. His interest
in the Y. NJ. C. A. led him to donate
money for the establishment Of
branches all over. the world. He
helped found other religious and So
cial institutions which are today
refugees for the poor. .l..Hr.
As postmaster general under
President Harrison, Wanamaker in
troduced sea postOffsces, banisheed
lotteries from the mails, expanded
free delivery and established rural
delivery. ...
Few knew the feelings Of this man
until 1912, when they came out in
pithy, epigrammatc sayings in
his department store advertisements.
They were helpful paragraphs
which were printed almost daily un-
til his recent illness and which
brought him many letters of appre-
citation.
That he practiccd what he preach
ed is shown by his sudden reduc-
tion Of 20 per cent in the prices Of
all his merchandise, in 1920, to help
the country return to normal.
