GREAT FRENCH.
MAN IN AMERICA

George Clemenceau, the Tiger OF
France is now in America on
friendly visit to seek better under
standing with America. He Is
eighty-two years old, has been In
public life in France practically all
his life, was member OF the cham
Der of deputies in 1871 when they
surrendered to the Germans and
agreed to pay the crushing indemn-
ity and was one Of the two or three
men who voted not to yield even tho
they were crushed.
Clemenceau aspired to be the
president Of France, but that ambl-
ton was never realized, altho he has
been premier of France and is called
1.-THE father of victory" in the World
war. He stood firm and cheered
France in her fight when but for
him the nation might have collapsed
and been given over to those VINO
wanted to quit and submit to the
Huns.
, In France they have a way OF
changing the policies of the govern
ment BY changing ministers. TO
overthrow the ministry is equivalent
to holding an election and changing
administration in America. Glenn
enceau has overthrown eighteen
ministers in France in fifty years.
and was himself overthrown few
months ago because Of his agrees
sive attitude toward Germany, In
sisting on the payment of repara-
lions according to agreements, and
of backing it up II necessary by
force of arms.
Clemenceau says that eight times
between 1871 and 1914 the Ger
mans tried to force a war with
France SO they could complete the
crushing blow which they thought
they had inflicted in 1901. In
each instance France did something
to avert the conflict, and sometimes
yielding and giving up what Ger
many demanded as the price OF
peace. In 1914 they could not avert
the calamity and now Europe lies IN
ruins materially or financially, and
France is merely keeping a large
enough army to defend herself IN
case Germany makes another slash
at the throat of France.
Clemenceau came to America un.
officially. His country did not dc
him the honor to send him as theil
representative, but his love FOL
France impelled him to come. He
lived in America when he was 8
young man, and he courted and mar.
ried an American woman in Con
necticut, where he was teaching the
French language. He speaks English
and he knows america and the
Americans, and while he is having
visit that he has been wishing fol
for fifty or sixty years, he is making
some statements, and hundreds O.
big dailies all over America ant
Europe are publishing them thu
same day, and thousands of smallel
papers are passing them on to thei
readers later.
Clemenceau is talking to thu
whole civilized world, for they ar
all interested, and the press every
where is conveying his message tt
its readers.
During the American Revolution

Napoleon added to our troubles. 4

GIRLS MUST RETURN GIFTS

A young couple at Salem, Ore.,
were engaged to be married. They
broke the engagement and 1t was
time to return the engagement ring,
but in this case it seems that q
photograph had been given instead
of a ring or in addition to the ring.
She kept the photograph and he in
sisted on it's being returned. She
kept it and he brought suit to COM
pei it's return. She went into court
and said that it was a gift and that
it was hers. The court decided that
she must return it to him, and en-
tered judgment to that effect. So
now, lady, if you are one OF those
who seeks to work" young fellow
and then throw him overheard and
keep his gifts, you now have a
standard to Judge by. When you
tell him that you are awfully sorry,
but that you cannot become his
wife, but that you will always be
like a sister to him, and all that,
Just hand him back his phonograph
as we'll as the diamond ring.
A Different Case
A Bingham county couple had a
different experience. They engaged
to marry, and he gave her a phono-
graph, but he failed to finish paying
for it. She, of course, did not know
about that, and when the engage
ment was broken, she kept the in
;strument. Then the dealer presented
his bill for the balance due on it,
and she still kept the instrument,
but repudiated the bill. The dealer
waited q while for ideas on such
matters to ripen and get right, and
as nobody assumed the payment Of
the balance, he brought suit against
the one who was hanging on to 1t
and the court required her to foot
the bill. 1t is a wonder that some
shyster lawyer does not go to tht
former lover and persuade him u
bring suit against the girl for tn
amount he paid on the instrument
Love hath its difficulties!

Ballad Singing Is an Exacting Art
Walter Seaman, Edison Artist,
Tells Some Qualifications

Walter Seaman of "Maytime in
Erin now playing at the Plymouth
Theatre, has voice, personality, stage
presence, physique, gift Of expression
and feeling to fit him for artistic work
or the stage.
For the successful singing of any
ballad" he says. mo matter wheth-
err it is Irish or not, several qualif-
cations are necessary. The first and
most important one is distinct en-
unciation of every word Of the text,
with a reading that Will show its
meaning to the audience. Words can
be ratified off in 4 manner that will
convey very little of the meaning Of
the poem to the audience, or they can
he delivered in a way that will drive
the sentiment home to every one who
hears them. This is what is known
on the stage as putting a song across
the footli@hts, and is the secret Of the
success of many singers.
THE second requisite is n smooth
delivery of the melody. While the
melody should be subscrviCnt to the
text, it is still a most important part
of the song, and should be given in a
manner that will impress it upon the
| minds of the audience and give the
greatest pleasure. The sentiment Of
| the song is what makes IL popular in
| most cases.
The Irish melodies are often very
! trying TO the singer trained in the
more modern school, On account Of
! the peculiar intervals in the scale
! used. Flat scvenths and AUGMENTED
! thirds are difficult to one trained TO
present day modes, but they can ho
learned by constnat practice and
correctly given. Tho native singer OF
! Irish melodies is brought up to them
| from childhood and knows them well,
and to him there is no difficulty II
singing thcm,'
