Il Greatest Citizen of France

For himself and for his country
i Georges Clenenceau is tine most
rsconne of guests. He is, in Amer
friend among friends. OF all
il great men Of the world whom
tmericans came to know during the
a. and the making Of peace, he
niued the warmest place in our af-
tt,ions, the most abiding Of admi-
,stioas.
That the political chances of his
nuntry have made hin once more a
,rjyate citizen affects not at all
srerica's attitude toward him. He
vas the great figure of the war and
hs was not less the great figure of
,he peace, even though the fortunes
d peace-making veeredr to the more
saile Lloyd George.
The larger problems of peace re-
main and will remain. Toward their
solution NJ. Clemenceau believes he
can contribute something by his
present voysge of friendship and
kandas % what he may say all
salsaea viii listen closely. 1t is M.
%lsnienteau's great appeal TO the
Amsrican mind that he speaks FROM
essnch convictions and with the ut
most frankness. There was never a
moment during the war or the peace
when bis stand was in doubt.
A massive and rugged figure of
ruth and courage, M. Clemencean
locma larger than ever as the lesser
men disappear with the years.
Whether Americans can agree with
him In all things or not, they know
they are looking upon great man;
history may well say, the greatest
u his time.
New-York tribune., 1922-11-19

German menace was recognized and
met. Thanks to this foresight, Great
Britain entered the wax in 1914 pre-
pared st sea, though woefully unpre-
pared for land fighting.
Churchill's chief contribution to
war leadership was his advocacy of
the Dardanelles campaign. 1t was
the single sound conception OF early
Entente strategy. 1t was the one
hope of utilizing Russia's vast man
power and of encircling Germany
and Austria Hungary. 1t failed
through blunders in execution, and
the First Lord of the Admiralty had
TO make an unjust atonement. He
left the Cabinet for military service
IN France. But in 1917 h. returned
to it as Minister of Munitions, and
remained in it as Secretary of State
for War and then as Colonial Secre-
tary.
Churchill has shown something Of
a talent for making enemies. But he
has other and more profitable tai
ents. One Scotch Sheriff and a
s1ured Highland constituency car
hardly exile q man of his capacity
and experience frem British public
life.

Save the Pedestrian
he Cannot Save Himself From
Present Street Perils

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
| sfr' / am glad to and In The Trib-
une some correspondence and editorial
| comment on the subject OF safety on
the streets. The Safety Week" was q
| mere farce. Ali the admonitions, says
on one occasion In your paper, were
solemnly addressed TO the helpless
pedestrian, who was adiured to save
himself. AS If he could, with no CO.
operation on the part OF automobiiists.
for whom the world was made, Moth
| ing can be done for safety until some
| obligation is laid upon drivers AMI
some check Is imposed upon the hum
creds OF taxis cruising for passengers
at high speed in the congested areas.
This could be stopped and should be.
Fifth Avenue, with all It's congestion,
Is the safest place to-day, because tho
traffic is thoroughly regulated. Fourth
Avenue is death-trap. contend that
until speed is lessened by law no safety
Is possible. for if 81 pedestrian becomes
confused and hesitates or HAPPENS to
slip and fall, death or injury is inevi-
table, for no driver crossing the street
at the prevailing speed could stop In
time TO avoid striking PROSTATE per-
son.
| Last winter, In changing TO 8 Broad
| way car at Seventh Avenue and Fifty
third Street, I slipped on treacherous
bit of Ice and fell sidewise, striking
the thigh bone SO severely that for a
few moments could not move. It was
o'clock, dinner time, and the traffic
was light. was, therefore. spared
until was lifted by benevolent pas
SET by and set on my feet, and no bones
being broken could walk to the curb.
On Fourth Avenue, even at that
hour, should inevitably have been
killed. Nobody's fault, Of course: no
driver could have stopped in time to
save me, and even il could have risen
| at once the ears would have been upon
me In an instant. had committed the
objectionable sin Of slipping and fall
| ing in the middle Of the street, there
fore, should have deserved my fste
! The only safeguard Is to abolish Ice
and snow in winter, for the benefit OF
truck and taxi drivers. The private
care are trife more carefully driven.
The worst thing Of all Is the unre-
| strained way In which cars are allowed
TO turn corners In all directions. To
maintain safety, pedestrian must be
surerhuman.
Years ago heard beautiful story
OF little child run over by heavy
wagon and left entirely unhurt. No
doubt was left Of miracle when the
child said, 81 saw the angel holding up
the wheel" It would take large de-
tachment Of the heavenly host to save
the children nowadays, and yet don't
know how else they are saved. It is
too much for the traffic cop, with ali
his efficiency. Children may be reck-
less and others ovsr-venturesome, but
with the apparent lack Of ali restric-
tion upon speed and the Icy indiRor-
ence Of most drivers It is a daily
miracle that any Of us escape death.

America al the Museur,,

The De Forest gift, announced
in The Tribune yesterday, is from
certain point Of view the most
significant piece of good fortune
which ever has befallen the Metro
politari Museum. 1t insures the es.
tablishment there Of what we can
tut feel is a paramount factor in
the usefulness of that institution,
a really adequate expedition of the
artistic genius of our own people.
Superficial commentators easily dis
pose of the earlier architects and
painters of this country as deriva-
tive types, dependent upon Great
Britain for their inspiration. But
this only tells half the story. When
we speak of Colonial" we speak of
period in American aesthetic de.
velopment which generated a native
force to carry on the refining influ-
ence of English ideas. 1t fixed here
mode of design in architecture, a
canon of dignity in portraiture, an
element of good taste in the indus
trial and decorative arts which ex-
press the very grain of our national
life at its best, the constructive
value of which may be recognized
to this day by the student of such
matters who looks below the sur
face and can trace the reflection IN
many building Of our own time
of the standard erected In the
United States before we bore that
designation.
The lesson Is made plain by col
lections now visible at the Metro
politan. 1t will be made palmer by
a concentration Of treasure in the
new wing. With the architectural
episode, the furniture, the silver,
the paintings of our formative pe-
RODS assembled in organic arrange
ment, we shall realize as never in
the past what we owe to the pio-
neers in our art. And the later pas
sages in. our history as regards both
painting and sculpture will round
out the story with fullness unsur-
passed in similar national collec-
tions by any museum in the world.
From time to time there is talk
about an American Luxembourg at
the park, an attractive but hitherto
"a seemingly impracticable idea.
This gift endows as at stroke with
what might be called an American
Louvre and Luxembourg combined.
There have been all along in Mr..
Robinson's dictatorship the strong
est evidences of care for Amerl-
can art at the museum. Besides
the rich representation Of our
schools in the permanent collections
there have been frequent special en-
hibitions, typified by the one now
going on of the furniture of Dun
can Phyfe. With g princely ges.
ture MIR. and Mrs. De Forest set a
kind Of touchstone upon this liberal
policy. They give to America a
perfect memorial to America. 1t
will preserve their own name in the
grateful remembrance Of their
countrymen.

Winston Churchill's Setback

We have read much Of Mr.. Morley's

Men and women OF either eight or
