Georges Clemenceau. the Tiger Of
France. today was the guest of Ralph
Pulitzer. publisher of the New York
World, at a luncheon at the Ritz
Carlton Hotel. and later attended a
reception by the France-America
Society at the home of Thomas W..
Lamont.
Yesterday he visited the grave OF
Theodore Roosevelt at Oyster Bay.
Later he intends to journey to the
graves of Washington and Lincoln.
Clemenceau arose at o'clock this
morning and after an early breakfast
of hard boiled eggs and onion and
cheese soup. started work on the
speech he will deliver tomorrow
night.
The Tiger said he was feeling
fine" despite the strain of the last
two days receptions. He had come
to the decision. he declared. that
American women were even more
beautiful now than they were half
century ago. Then, he added. he had
thought they could not be improved
upon, but two short days in twentieth
century America had shown him his
error.
Quarrels With Doctor.
DR.. Francois Leclercq. a physician
who came to renew his acquaintance
ship with Clemenceau. begun In Paris
years ago heard the Tigers hrst
growl today. When DR.. LeclercQ be.
gan to tell him of some new medical
discoveries which might lead to the
indefinite prolongation OF human lie,
Clemenceau said:
You keep quiet about that. Other
wise 1 will kill you. Cure the snakes.
the dogs and the cats. That's all
right. But leave human beings alone.
Let them die happy"
Clemenceau declined an invitation
to visit Canada proffered to him by
W. J. Morton, Canadian journalist.
He declared that his program was
carefully mapped out and did not per-
nit him to accept any further invita-
tions.
The gray. old Tiger. himself an
apostle of preparedness, spoke no
word as he stood before the grave of
Roosevelt, Americas wielder of the
big stick. yesterday. But he was Wis
IDLY moved. His keen eyes took in
every detail of the little fenced-in in
closure that has become shrine for
many Americans.
Then he stood for moment more
with a far-away look. deeply i'm
mersed in thought. Finally he turn
ed away and trudged slowly down
the winding path of Young's me-
mortal cemetery. and motored to
Roosevelt's home.
Guest of R0osevelts.
While others Of the party rang the
door bell and waited for the door to
be opened, Clemenceau turned abrupt
ly and walked OFF down the broad
veranda where Roosevelt used to sit
to watch the sailboats on Oyster
bay.
He walked all of the way to the rear Of
the house. closely inspecting the long,
the crest of Sycamore hill.
Archie Roosevelt, who served as a
soldier in France. hurried to the We
randa to greet him and conducted him
into the house, where Mrs Roose-
Welt greeted him. He spent some
room. Then he motored back to the
Manhattan residence of Charles Dana
Gibson, where he is making his home
during his five-day stay here.
