Special Dispatch to THE New York HERALD.
BosToN. Nov. 23.-Clemeneeau came
10 Boston to-day and found the ATHENS
,f America" such was his compliment,
wired ahead from the train-quite as
in him as New York has
been. In fact, the fuss over him was
greater here than there,
speaking. Missioner OF
Peace, he was made the center OF the
biggest military spectacle New Eng
land has seen since Joffre visited Bos-
ton. The Government and the State
turned out all the martiaily capari-
soned soldiers and sailors that are
available in these parts. Part of them
lined the streets along which the pro-
cession moved and the rest were in
the procession.
The route covered several miles. from
the South Station to Francis Lee Hig-
ginson, Jr.'s, home on Commonwealth
avenue, with stops az the City Hall, the
State House and the Public Library.
Clemenceau had been expected TO say
nothing except a brief how-do-you-do.
He was to save himself for his address
in fremont Temple tomorrow afternoon.
But he talked to the crowds at both the
State House and the City Hall. This
makes four speeches to-day, for from
the rear platform OF his train on the
way up he said few words to Yale
students who howled the "Tiger" yell at
him In New Haven, and to 2.000 per-
sons gathered in the station shed at
Providence. The octogenarian Is start
ing his tour with the dash of a po-
litical campaigner.
Gets Flag and Razor.
At City Hall Mayor Curley presented
to Clemenceau two tokens OF reDlem'
brance in the name or the city. One
was a silk flag OF France, borne by
eight Massachusetts, veterans who won
the Crolx de Guerre. The other was IN
a mystifying black box. The Mayor
emitted saying what II was except that
It was Of metal "as pure as your love
for France-gold" and that II bore the
insignia of the Tiger.
Opening the box, Clemenceau, aston
ished amused and delighted, found 8
gold safety razor. Thus does Boston
preserve its reputation for practica'
bility.
Clemenceau possibly needed a new
razor. for when he landed in New York
scratches attributable to a dull blade
were to be observed on his cheeks. There
are five pieces In the set he received to-
day, and each is engraved with his in
itials and the head OF tiger.

Union of Allies.
In his speeches he did not depart from
the line OF thought of his New Yorl
appearances. But he somewhat eluei
dated his appeal for a reunion OF tn
United states, France and Great Brit
ain In the cause which he thinks W
abandoned after the war when he said
II want you to understand that ther

tyranny. We cannot keep II down un
