His fighting blood up. the Tiger OF
France turned from the abstract to
the specific yesterday. answered his
critics at Washington with barbed
phrases and declared that what he
really came to America for was TO
seek to draw the United States into
the conference at Lausanne for the
settlement OF the eastern Crisis.
Speaking in fremont Temple.
Clemenceau said he had not intended
to tell Americans how to run their
own business.
But they have asked me to go
further" he said. referring to the as
sertions of senators at Washington
that his addresses were too vague.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 25.-
A charge that Georges Clemenceau,
Frances war premier. is not con-
cerned with the worlds woes. but
with his country's wealth. was made
in a statement here by United States
Senator Hiram W. Johnson.
"He comes to America. the foremost
champion of France. to Insist that
America in some nebulous, undis-
closed fashion shall be part of the
European maelstrom to which France
has contributed SO much Senator
Johnson said. He has single
thought: Frafce and Frances ad-
vantage. admire his sturdy pa
triotism that would let the rest of
the world go hang il France only
can be benefited.
but remembering the Paris con-
ference and Clemenceau's attitude
there with the Versailles treaty and
it's economic suicide before US. the
most generous and charitable of
Americans may be pardoned for
courteously declining the perfervid in
vitation of the eloquent Frenchman
to become part of Frances unknown
adventures or the economic or other
wars or controversies of Europe"
