Georges Clemenceau, coming
to the American Capital yes
terday, received perhaps the
mildest welcome ever accorded
a visitor so distinguished. .
Because the former premier
of France came here as a pri-
vate citizen there was no mill
tary escort. The sole represen-
tative of the United States was
a third assistant secretary of
state, Robert w. Bliss.
Ambassador and Nine. Jusse-
rand, of France, were at Union
Station when he arrived from
Baltimore at 4:30 yesterday after
noon. So was the former Ameri-

BERLIN, Dec. 4.-The political
grounds of Europe are as shifting
as quicksand. The German press
today features no less than four
European cabinet crises.
A dispatch from Brussels reports
the expected fall Of the Theunis

the coming debate in pe Belgium

Belgium, are given as the stumbling
blocks.

a new attempt by Guerro to build a
cabinet The Morocco military ex
petitions brought about the fall OF
the Spanish cabinet.
Lisbon reports the resignation Of
the Portuguese cabinet.
In Belgrade. Premier Paschitsct
has presented the resignation of the
Serbian cabinet because Of domestic
political differences.
In Berlin, Chancellor Cuno is try

Dispatches from Paris even pro
fess to see the Poincare cabinet be
coming shaky. and predict that il

LAUSANNE, Dee. 4.-The
Reds threw a bomb into the

hour for the delegates to re-
cover from the shock.
The usually unruffled Lord Cur
zon emerged visibly agitsted,
while the frigid Japanese came
up looking warm. Only Georges

minister, retained his usual sang

Bent upon teaching the en-
tente that Soviet Russia is
power not to be trifled with.
Tchitcherin administered a mem
orable first lesson today making
both the big and little ententee
look sick.
In a mastery speech Tchitcher-
in demanded that the Straits be
closed during both war and peace
to all naval and aerial wsrships
except Turkeys, which alone must
have the right on both sides OF
the straits for modern defenses
and designs.
Declaring that Russia has an

straits problem which would rem

ISSUES WARNING.
Concluding he warned that any
such solution will meet with the
decided opposition OF Russia
Lord Curzon ironically congratu-
lated Tchitcherin for presenting
not the Russian. but the Turkish
viewpoint so admirably and then
invited Ismet Pasha to present
the Turkish attitude.
The latter retorted by asking
Lord Curzon to disclose the Brit

WHEN you hear of the

course, that the Attorney Cen
eral himself insisted that Con-
gress give a hearing to charges
based on various rumors. Some
of the Democrats, deeply in
terested apparently in bringing
war grafters to book, might ex-
plain how it happened that the
Democrats, when in power,
never lifted a finger to re-
cover graft, stolen from the
people, under q Democratic ad-
ninistration. Mr.. Daugherty
has brought suit against big
concerns to recover more than
three hundred million dollars.

HOW much intelligence does
" this nation show in pro-
tecting itself? All last summer
It had plenty Of coal in the
mines, and plenty of men to dig
it. But owners and workers dis
agreed, and the country drifted
into a dangerous coal shortage,
with no serious protest from
anybody. "We cannot make
cur miners work at our price,
20 you probably must do with
out coal next winter"
That was the message of
mine owners to the public and
the public is doing without coal.
The biggest city in the nation
has four days supply and if
heavy snow storm came there
would be real trouble.
However, it may teach some
Of the people to think, and they
need that more than they need
coal.
