Washington. ID. c., Sept. 16.-When
Georges CIemenceau, Tiger oil
France comes to Washington in late
November to pay his respects TO Pres
ident Harding and to former President
Wilson. he will also look up an ole
capital friend in the person OF ReaI
Admiral Cary T. Grayson.
C~lemenceau is a many sided man. II
is not generally known in this country
that among his many other accomplish,
mcnts is a profound knowledge OF
medicine. If he had followed his early
bent and continued the practice Of that
profession, he unquestionably would
have become one of the worlds great
est physicians. just as he has reigned
as ono Of the worlds greatest states
men.
1t was upon the field of medicine
therefore. rather than of politics that
Clemenceau and DIR. Grayson met in
Paris. They spent long winter eve
nings together in front of the fire
when C~lemenceau. tired of the discus
sions and the chickering's of the big
four turned to his young friend, the
medical man. for complete diversion.
Dr. Grayson naturally took great
pride in the friendship of the French
premier. He e%xpounded to the Tiger
many Of his own ideas of preventive
therapy and found that, despite the
heavy burdens the war had imposed
upon him. Clemenceau had kept up his
lively interest in medicine and had let
nothing in modern surgery or medical
treatment slip by him.
Somewhere, stored away. DIR. Gray
son has a stack of notes dealing with
his experience at the peace conference
All these notes bulk heavily of Glenn
cnceau.
America will take a lively interest in
the Tigers white gloves. He wears
them at all times and on all occasions.
He will wear them when he speaks
and when he gets excited the gloves

through the air. Some one suggested
one day that the Tiger was afraid
OF his claws and had to keep them
s%hcathed, but another admirer opined
that because he was a real fightinf
on.
Promotes Better Relations
Speaking of the Clemenceau visit to
this country. one enterprising CORES
pendent cabled the startling news a day
or two ago that the Tiger" was COM
in gto this country as the result of a
deep laid plot. fathered probably by
Governor Cox to influence the con
gressional election on the League of
Nations issue. There was just one
tiny little defect in the story. Cleamen-
ceau will not start for this country IN
til the first week in November and
will not speak until the elections ae
over. The Tiger" is coming to try
and induce better relations between
the {. S. and France. That will be
job enough, he feels, and any way he
isn't a BIT wild about the League of
Nations.
Word has filtered into Washington
through semi official channels that the
days of De VaIeria arc numbered I'M
less he succeeds in getting out of Ire
land before the Free State net closes
about him. Press dispatches have told
very frankly of the determination of
the Free State leaders to stamp out all
revolution. They have said there was
to be no 'shilly shallying' with the
irregulars. that the more intimate adj
vices from Ireland tell the story in
palmer words.
In short there is to be no more TAX
ing of prisoners. This applies especi-
ally 10 those regarded as leaders in
the revolt and it is realized now by
the Free Staters that there can be
no peace so long as De Valeria is
abroad. The hunt for him is on now
and it is said that there is no doubt
that when he is found his life will
atone in some degree for the death of
Michael Collins.
The Free Staters have been great
ly heartened by the attitude of the Irish
in this country. They have been as
sured by visitors from America that
Irish Americans are a unit for the
Free State as the best solution of the
Irish problem.
Open Bar Novelty Fades
Distinguished travellers Just back
from Europe knock down completely
the popular idea among land lubbers
that life on the ocean wave these DAYS
outside the three mile limit is just
one grand cocktail after another.
Things are pretty lively the first day
out Of New York it seems. and some
times the celebration of the new free
dom extends into the second day.
After that. however. everybody settles
down. taking both life and drink more
