Washington, Dec. Georges Glenn

War Premier. today had decided To
leave his case fo France entirely
with. the America people.
The Tiger has luarely before
President Ha1di1 belief that
America must rc - OF European af-
fairs and tne side OF France to save
the world situation.
But he does not consider that he is
asking any favors from the United
States Government. and will sail Tor
France next week relying upon the
American people to execute whatever
conclusions they may have drawn
from his speeches throughout the
country
"As to what you may do, ! have
nothing to say" the fiery, old French
man declared.
Pointing out that he came here to
stir up public opinion on questions OF
vital concern to Europe and also TO
America, he said:
"If you do as | say, good; and If
rou don't do as | say, good; and tnere
will be no bad words between us
This afternoon he will visit the

After Arlington, the Tiger was go

As the time draws near for the
dramatic meeting Of Woodrow Wilson
and the Tiger late this afternoon, it
is apparent that while these two lead
-rs I'm the World War both want Am
erica to return to Europe they have
widely different views a TO how the
United States can aid the old world.
The views Of each are still the same

Clemencaus greatest desire is to
get the United States to join with
Great Britain in a guarantee that

Somewhere, free but hunted, the

Mrs. Phillips had been driven to Peg

full, aided in the delivery.

AS To Method Of
Procedure.
MAY CHANGE BILL
Solid Opposition of A. Votes Cause
Fear og Filibuster Among Admin
istratiOn Leaders-May Drcp Meas
ure for Few Days.

washington, Dec. b.--Senale lnSuT-
gents fighting the ship subsidy bill
won their first victory today when
they spiked administration plans for
running the bill through the commerce
committee to the floor of the Senate.
After heated two hour session
Senator Jones, chairman Of the COM
mittee, announced that "the esssiOn
will continue to be held until the COM
mittee reached an agreement" Pre-
paratiOns were made to continue the
battle this afternoon.
Jones admitted that practically no
progress had been made on the bill.
He said that the committee had been
able to include the first portion Of the
measure-composed Of I'll points
and would continue to work on the
measure by sections.
Washington, Dec. 6.-The long
threatened senatorial fight on the
ship subsidy opened today with ootin
sides maneuvering for the ground
As the commerce committee went
into session on the House Merchant
Marine ct neither side had formula
ted its battle plans except tentative
Iv. and each awaited firing of the
first shot by the other before deter
Whining = final course of action
There was even some hesitancy
among members of the commerce
committee, dominoted by Repubil-
cans. as to the desirability OF some
features of the bill as passed by the
House. Some minor revisions were.
contemplated by Senator Jones; OF
Washington, chairman of the body.
The plan. was, however to get the
bill through as speedily as possible
and report it back to the Senate with
in \ few hours. This would force 1t
70 the floor of the senate-and actual
open warfare-by tomorrow
Confronted with a solid opposition
Of "A votes, some administration lead
ers went to work on a plan to safe
guard the appropriation bills against
any opposition filibuster. They
thought It might prove best to drop
the subsidy for a day or so when an
appropriation measure comes over
from the House and rush the appro-
priation bill though before again
turning to the shin subsidy. This
is sure to delay action on the sub
sdy, but it might avoid any extra
session of congress after March 4
1t is not thought that opponents OF
the subsidy will attempt to force an
extra session if they can help it.
They are not desirous Of holding up
the appropriation bills until that
time. but merely want to hold them
temporarily as a hammer over the
heads of the republican majority 50
that the subsidy cannot be forced
through 1T this session.

With lots of private sass to spare.
We promised dad l. we could 20,

And watch ii they was glad or glum
Then Chick would pull the touch-of

And read the rit, or some such thing
And when be got to force and arms
He talked with both his mouth and
arms.
Then Chase would contradict il al
As simply bosh and fol-de-rol,
And then put in a counterclaim
That made the other man to blame;
And then they'd fetch a kitchen chair
4 And lots of witnesses would swear
And then both lawyer men would try
To make EN- say they'd told a lie,
Once Chick made fun OF Doctor Hyde.

wide,
But Case spoke up, u guess he'll do,
