NEW YORK. Nov. 23.-GeOrges
Clemenceau left New York today
for Boston. intensely uckled by
the typhoon OF wrath his Tuesday
speech has stirred up in the SEN
ate.
The Tiger" hastily scanned the
newspapers In Grand Central termi-
nal while being hustled aboard his
car. The angry retort OF Senator
Borah particularly pleased him.
II like that" said the former
French premier. "T.lat arouses
discussion. That Will make people
Is democratic quality i learned
years ago"
The Frenchman indicated that he
might have something more to say
concerning the League of Nations
and Americas attitude toward Eu'
rope In speeches in Boston and Chi
cago. To the last he defended the
league. saying II was no menace
and contending that Americas alb
sence. hurt the league and the
peace OF the world.
Clemenceau, VINO astonished New
York by his habit OF arising at 8,
and o'clock in the morning.
surprised II again today. Everyone
had said the Tiger will be up
at 3 Thursday to catch his train"
Instead he lay In bed until 7:45
a. IN. and arrived at the terminal
just in time for his train. depart
ing at 1888 a. m.
Few Recognized Him.
Few persons in the station
thronged with commuters recog-
nized the man whose picture has
been published on the first page
of nearly every newspaper In the
United States in the last few days.
A crowd of persons who knew OF
his departure, however. was on
hand to bid him farewell. There
was much and-shaking.
Clemenceau took minute or two
apart to shake hands with newspaper
men whom he described as a fine
bunch" He said he had been pleased
greatly by his New York reception.
The former premier autographed n
photograph of himself for Mrs. Fred.
erick Coulert and Miss Anne Morgan.
He was brought to the station by
Col. Z. NJ. House.
As the Tiger" vanished In the car
vestibule and the train slid noise
lessly out Of Grand Central, a cheer
went up from the crowd.
Praises u. s. Soldiers.
Soldiers in trench helmet, rest
ing on their army rifles. listened
intently yesterday to the message
Georges Clemenceau took to Brook
lyn.
Under the high.vaulted roof Of
an armory he leaned on his black
cane as he stood in the reviewing
stand. After the soldiers Of the
One Hundred and Sixth infantry
were given the "at ease" command
and had gathered in silence about
the aged statesman, he made Q
speech, short, emotional, and
fervent.
He said:
Soldiers Of the United States Of
! have seen you at work
In battle. many years ago. know
what you are and / can find few
words that express your magnifi-
cent dash and power"
OulSiuc the dIHlOTy tHOuSdnub
tried In vain to gain admittance. |
All the way from Manhattan bridge, !
over which the Tigers" motor car
AVIAN had passed to the armory at !
and Atlantic avenues,
the Tiger" had been |
and sung to by school chill |
dren and citizens of the borough |
across the East river.
Banners. flags. children. dressed |
In the trfcolor, trumpets played by
drums and flies sounded by !
young men-all these the tiger"
saw and responded to with waves
Of his hand or the tipping Of his
hat. He wore the head gear that
he had on the day of his arrival
here--a sort of crumpled up, |
weather beaten gray fedora that
the seams of his face
and the struggling white of his !
mSstache.
Il was present at st. Mihiel, |
which you beautifully carried in a !
great storm. There were twenty.
two American divisions and four !
French divisions there and you were |
at the head Of the assault" he said. |
You have put yourselves at the |
top Of the glorious page of world |
soldiers. Be great In peace as you |
were in war. War Is nothing but |
a display of force to put autocracy |
and tyranny under foot. Then the |
soldier returns to be a good citizen" |
In speaking of war the Tiger"
tapped his stick vehemently against |
the boards Of the reviewing stand |
