rode on the train that carried the
Tiger from Baltimore TO Washington
this Afternoon. He has kept himself
well in the background since the old
man arrived in the United States two
weeks ago last Saturday, 10 begin this
trip for which Colonel House Ia the
principal sponsor. This afternoon he
rode Ii a seat AZ least two cars "a.
noved from N. Clemenesaus.
Honse Stays In Background
He visited with his old friend from
the Nendee for q short time during
the brief journey, but when the Am
hassador and Mn. Jusserand and
Henry white, the Tigers" Washing
ton host, climbed aboard he was no

The relations between Colonel House
and NJ. Clemeneeau rnay best Be corn
pared 70 those between Arthur Hop

kins never forgets himself and steps
out on the stage during a performance.
During the visit Of Nj. Clemeneeau In
Washington, Colonel House will be the
guest Of Breekinridee Long, who lives
not far from the Crescent Place home
Of HenU White, who was a fellow
member with Colonel House on the
American peace delegation headed BY
President Wilson.
The tigers" schedule In Washing

is having q few guests 70 meet him to-
morrow at luncheon. The list has not
been made public. On Wednesday the
old man Is 70 90 20 Mount Vernon 20

wanted TO do that tomorrow. but was
persuaded that first he must call on
the living President and ex-President.
Tomorrow night he 10 10 speak Rt q

night or early. Saturday morning.
Not Likely to Visit Capitol
There Is some speculation in Wash-
ington as 70 whether the visitor will
be invited 20 como TO the Capitol. IL
is not likely. The criticism Of some Of
the Senators directed at NJ. Clemenceau
is responsible rather than the few tart
words that the Father Of Victory had
70 say Ia reply 70 Senator Hitchcock,
and then, too, some Of the Senators
have not said ell they have In their
minds.
Senator Borah will make an Addi-
tionGl speech critieiIing French policy
before the old man sails for home on
December i3. He may make his speech
before VI. Clemenceau leaves Washing
ton. Senator Hitchcock also may have
a few more remarks. A Senator ex-
planned tonight that n NJ. Clemenceau
Indicated that he would like 20 address
the members Of Congress arrangements
would be made. In that event, II was
said, Senators Hitchcock and Borah
probably would absent themselves from
the chamber during the talk Of the
Frenchman. which would be made, Of
course, during q recess, because Of the
unofficial character Of his visit.
Many Of the members OF the Senate
have taken pains recently 10 stress the
fact that N. Clemeneeau is admired
greatly in that chamber, but that there
Is a powerful element strongly opposed
% the policies Of his country.
