1t Will be to the material and moral
interests of the United States to ex-
anime European difficulties with
other conceptions than those they
have at present"
Clemenceau expects to enlarge his
own Judgment Of European situations
by putting his ideas into contact with
American views. He does not go to
New York with his mind made up and
closed as to what would be to the
mutual and collective advantage Of
the United States, France and Europe
generally.

nations. but I have no specific advice

the idea of the league. The world
must have something of the sort. I
do not say that the league as it now
exists is what Americans should
adopt. 1t does not satisfy me, but I
am for the aspirations"
Clemenceau has received immense
quantities Of advice from Americans
as to what he should or should not
say in his speeches. American trav-
elers Of distinction who have passed
through Paris during the last two
months have heaped some of this
advice upon him. and others Of no
distinction whatever have added to
the burden upon his ears and eyes,

Il shall, of course. have nothing
to say about Americas interior poll
tics. I think of the American peo-
pie; I never separate Americans into

them"
Naturally. arrangements for the
speeches Clemenceau Is to deliver in
the United States have been left In
the hands of friends whom he has
known for some time He always
explains this to those who seem to
have misgivings as to whether the
active share Col. House has taken

this is more of an appearance than

than an hour without undue weari-

Clemenceau is an early riser. Every
day he spends an hour taking gym
nastic exercises. He does not drink
wine, nor does he smoke and eat
heavily. Those meeting him for the
first time are always struck by two
things-the cloth cap, shaped like a
priests biretta, which he wears In
doors, and his invariable practice of
wearing gloves when receiving
visitors.
