Shortly after the war. l accom- panied Clemenceau by automobile Ito his fishing hut in Nendee. Dur ing the journey, not far from RochetreiouX. close to Mouchamps. we halted suddenly on a side road. Clemcnceau descended from the car and declared;
 Get out, l want to show you something which belongs to me
 "Wc followed a rough footpath and arrived at a small wooded field on d slight knoll. There among tan gled bushes and trees. Clemenceau showed me a plain stone marker, saying, There lies my father. shall be buried by his side Here's my place Then lie showed me nn- other stone marker which he lad transported with much difficulty over rough pathless fields. He nut , tered that he would not have any inscriptions on his tomb, that he wanted to be buried like his father. Without another word We returned to our automobile"
 Former Premier Paul Painlevc praised the Tigers stoicism;
 Faced Rowling Mob
 'I knew him during many trou- bled hours" Painlcye said T recall that during the Dreyfus case. when France vas divided by hostility. Clemenceau walked down the steps of the Palace of Justice, lis head lifted. unairaid and convinced of the value of his own ideas while Il mob howled scorn and threats at him. l saw him during the tragic days of Won kluck's march on Paris We often differed in, ideas but l ad- mirod him. IH May, 191Ss when the enemy broke the line. tlemcnccau saw the value of naming Foch su- preme commander. whipping up the scattered allied forces"
 Minister Of the Navy Georges Leygues declared Clemenccau was the 'soul of Frances resistance" during the world war,
 "Whcn Ciemcnccau agreed to take power in 1917, it was the most tragic moment of the war" Leygues said. AS his minister Of the navy. I saw him working. He was the. soul of French resistance. No loss could break his energy or firm con- viction Of eventual victory Ii was not only French victory he sought but liberty for the world so his name must be inscribed among the worlds few immortals."
 Monsignor Nerdier. new arch bishop of Parisen, said, "I mourn with all France the sadeath of Georges Clemenceau. who brought France victory. I went to his home this evening and expressed the ho- mage of the church of France. We are praying for him"
 Former President Raymond Poin- care was deeply moved, the Echo de Paris said
 "Clemonceau once saved France" That's what l told him before the council of ministers in January. 1920, when he resigned as premier at the time Paul Deschancl was president of the republic"
 The press mourned the Tiger as the father of victory"
 Tells of Troop Incident
 The Journal declared. "Onc of the outstanding moments of the Tigers career occurred early in 1918 when the Americans were arriving in driblets of 50,000 monthly. Foch re- quired 150.O00 monthly. Clemen- Ceau said, We need 3O0,O00 Amer jeans monthly. We have transports for 100000. l reply you must not calculate the number of men your tonnage can haul but by the number of tons necessary to haul 3O0,OO0 Americans. Then go find the ton nage.'"
 Petit Bleu asked "Clemenceau lost in peace but where would We be if he had not won the war;"
 The same paper blamed the late President Wilson of the United States for the Tigers downfall, say ing that he wanted only peace with out victory and to that end sacri- feed everything.
