MANY SEND SYMPATHY
BY RALPH HEINZEN,
United Press STAFF Correspondent
tconvright. 1929. by United Press


PARIS, Oct. 24.-Eager to con-
vince the press of America that he
had won in his fight with death,
Georges Clemenceau, war time pre-
mier of France, received me alone
in his sick room today.
AS I offered him Americas hopes
for his recovery, I realized I was
speaking to a greatly changed man.
Instead of the alert, sarcastic,
snarling Tiger of former days, I
was confronted with a grizzled,
sweet, grandfatherly, old man who
was realizing the approach of the
final hours.
The Tiger was dressed immacu-
lately. His attire, according to his
custom, consisted of jacket, gray
gloves, bed slippers and famous
trench cap which hid his tousled
hair. He was seated at his desk,
sorting a mass of letters conveying
expressions of sympathy.
Mostly From Women
"Look at them" he said, pointing
to the letters, ''they are from wom-
en- mostly. If they could see me
now, they wouldn't fall in love with
me would they, my friend?"
When I told the Tiger that was
bringing him Americas good wishes,
he replied.
"And is America still in the same
place? 1t will be surprised to know
I am better, but I am reServing still
greater surprises for America in my
book"
In answer to my inquiry concern
ing his health, the Tiger waved 8
Sheaf of manuscripts at me.
II passed a bad night I don't
feel well, but I try to work. Things
don't go we'll. I don't know what
it is but last night, I though I was
pretty bad. I just slept a little here
in the chair, but I am weak and
| they won't allow me to eat"
When I warned him that he ought
to remain in bed, he replied: mo
have work to do"
His tired glance happened to fall
upon my winter coat.
Envies Overcoat
How we'll you look this morning
What fine overcoat. If I had one
like that I'd go to the theater to-
night"
Clemenceau appeared to me really
to be prisoner of the bedroom
where he now works and sleeps. The
extremely simple room contains q
single width wooden bed designed
by the Tiger himself, along ia.
paneSe lines. The head of the bee
is adorned with an upright dragon
its tongue hanging out.
Books fill one corner and the
window opposite overlooks a rose
garden. In front of the window
stands large table covered with
books, papers and letters. The Sec
rotary sits opposite the Tiger and
the Tiger himself sits deep in ar
armchair working all day between
fits of sleeping.
Doctors are more or less opti-
mistic in their statements today, but
found the Tiger much older
much more bent and much weaker
than on my last visit week ago
AS babe him good-by he leaned
over and whispered feebly from his
sick chair:
81 can't accompany you to the
door. My doctors would be angry
It's my legs, you know"

OPPOSE DISARMAMENT
Indiana Sons of Revolution Send
Resolution to Hoover.

Resolution favoring maintenance
of national defense "of such ade-
quacy as will assure an existence as
a nation and world power" was sent
to President Hoover and other ma
tional officials today following its
adoption by the Indiana Society OF
Sons of the American Revolution.
The resolution stated that,
Whereas, greed and jealousy for
resources, prosperity and prestige OF
a nation have, according to history,
been the greatest causes of war, 1t
is felt that the United States, en-
dowed with abundant resources,
prosperity and world prestige and
without adequate defense, would
tend to increase, and not decrease
the dangers Of future wyars."
