ding which took place in is6a,
 Twenty. three years later, and aft CT bearing her husband three ohil dren, Mme. clemenceau obtained divorce and returned to the Unite, States, making her home in Illinois The famous statesmen's second mar riage was to a Parisienne,
 The year 1870 was to mark tn, beginning of stirring times for France The power of Napoleon III was top bling, the Franco Prussian war wal in the air, and the hot blood of young Frenchmen the world over was stirred with patriotism. Clemenceau wal among the first to hurry home, thai he might be In time to share in the history-making epoch just ahead.
 This was the beginning of one of the most remarkable political careers yet recorded in the archives of France--the career of a physician, editor, politician, scholar, lighter, statesman and premier--rolled into one and served up with ever increas- ing interest for more than half a cen- tury. But that. of course, Is another story.
 Wants To See Statue
 The Tiger on coming on deck this morning kept casting glances from under his shaggy gray brows at the harbor scene. Soon he interrupted Ambassador Jusserand, who was chat ting. particularly to inquire for the whereabouts of the Statue of Liberty. M. Jusserand pointed it out through the mist with the testing observation that the lady was somewhat obscured by prohibition.
 "oh" finally exclaimed Clemenceau. gazing at the statue. "1t is really inn pressive."
 Tn his chat with Ambassador Jus serand on politics during the trip up the bay, M. Clemenceau conversed in French. During an animated discus sion regarding Premier Mussolini of Italy, the fascist leader, the Tiger ex- claimed.
 'Ah, there's government"
 The Tiger seemed bewildered when he saw the army of newspaper re- porters, photographers and movie men more than 75 strong, which had come down the harbor to greet him. He met a broadside of questions with the statement that he was prepared to re- spond with a certain number of yesses and an equal of noes, which the re- porters could distribute in their copy as they saw fit.
 Confetti rained on the Tiger as he moved up Broadway. At city hall which he said he we'll remembered, he was received by Acting Mayor Mur- ray Hubert, who hailed him as the most distinguished citizen of the great sister republic, France."
 George E. Wickersham introduced the Tiger as one of the greatest citi- zens' in the world.
 M. Clemenceau, responding to the welcome said
 His National Views.
 "For 50 years I have been mixed lp with the most important political crisis in France. I have seen my country invaded twice during my life ;ime. do not want to sec a third invasion before my death.
 We will disperse our army when t can be shown that we are safe from his invasion"
 He explained that he came on no mission and that his visit was per- ;onal. At first, he said, he vowed he would not come to America because he was too old. But when he heard

 to America was delegated to board 1 the Paris and escort Clemenceau on board the Macon, for the run to the Battery.
 l Clemenceau will make his first ef- | fort to interpret France to America in an address Tuesday night at the 1 Metropolitan Opera House. He will go to Boston next Thursday. The ether cities on his itinerary are Chicago, Springfield, H., St. Louis, Washington. Baltimore, Annapolis and Philadelphia.
 He will remain in New York a little while first, for he has mum bcr of old metropolitan acquaint- ances to renew-some of them with persons, but more, perhaps. with streets and places. and familiar old land marks which he learned to know and to revere while yet boy.
 The maker and breaker of minis tries, as Clemenceau has come to be known because of the tremendous power he once held in the political affairs of his country is here on his own hook and unofficially to present the case of France to the American people, and this he will do in the languages of the masses. for not only does he speak English, but he speaks real American English--f1awlessly and without effort He Is a master of our idiom and has kept up with American slang for more than five decades.
 It was back in 1866 that young Dr. Clemenceau, just turned 25, first stepped ashore in New, York. His meagre wardrobe spoke eloquently of his poverty. but the case of shiney new surgical instruments, his only other possession, held his future-or so he thought at the time.
 Political Career.
 Back of him, he believed, lay his political career, which was not, much to boast of. He had served g. short term in prison for activities in behalf of the republic, and had been invited to leave France for failing to resist further temptations along the same line upon gaining his freedom. After all, he concluded, the medical pro- fession, which had supported six generations of Clemenceaus before him, was superior to politics.
 Promised small monthly remit tance from his father, the future war premier of France established him. self in what is now the Greenwich Village section of New York and be- gan to practice medicine. His field was the large French population then living around Washington Square and while he succeeded indifferently well in obtaining patients, his collections fell hopelessly below his needs.
 This prompted him to communicate

 He said France did not know wha was going on in America and Ameri ca did not know what was going or 1 in France and he wished to make thu position of France clear 'as a free man speaking to freemen."
 From City Hall NJ. Clemenceau mo- tored up Lafayette street to Ninth where he turned into Fifth avenue proceeding up town to the home of Charles Dana Gibson on East 7Sd street where he will stay while in this city. He prepared to rest at the artists home until he left for the opera this afternoon.
 complimented by the committee on the healthy appearance he presented, M. clemenceau replied lightly;
 T am growing younger every day. Tn 50 years think I'll be baby"
 Robert Condon, a member of the national executive committee of the American Legion then welcomed the former premier ''as a man who more than any other exemplifies the spirit in which we carried on the war"
 Shaking hands the Tiger replied:
 You're the man like to see. It's the thoughts of your men that count" Led by Col. F.. M. House, close per sonal friend the distinguished French man stepped gingerly aboard the Manhattan to cross to the Macon.
 Then came rush of photographers.

ANIMAL TRANSFORMATION
British Scientist Proves By Experi- ment That Sexes Can Be Changed From Male to Female.

London, Oct 1S.-The day should come, according to eminent British zoologists, when science will be able to determine and to control the power of growth The interest taken in this subject was shown by the numerous audience which attended lecture on lnterseXuality before the British as- sociation by Dr. F. A. E. Chew.
 Dr. Chew is the scientist who last year reported the result Of some re- markable experiments during which he changed hens into growing cock erels. The continuation of these ex- rerlments, he said, had resulted in the complete reversal of six of hens and cockerels. But his lecture this year dealt chiefly with goats
 A case was known to him, he said, Of goat which had won prizes when an immature female and which came later to assume male aracteristics and in behaviour was male
