.CIelnenceau'S Condition Alarm.
 inS-Noted Specialist Called

Paris, Sept. } (UP)-Thc illness of George ClcmcnCeau French war premier and one Of the authors Of the treaty of Versailles, reached an alarming stage today and caused the physician attending him to summon the eminent specialist, Doctor L. De Genncs, who attended Field Marshal Ferdinand Foch during the latter'S s last hours.
 Clcmenceau, now in his eighty eighth year, has been suffering from poor health for several weeks. He was not considcrd gravcly ill until a few days ago when pulmonary congestion developed. Tho nhvsl- clan attending him battled with the condition until today when he de cided to bring Doctor De GenncS to the bedside.
 Doctor De Gcnncs left Paris for Clomcnccau's secluded residence at saint Vincent Nur Gard in Nendeo immediately after receiving the sum- mons. Dr. De GcnneS is an old friend of Clomenceau and his favor ito physician.
 While alarmed by the suddcl change for the worse Clem"aceau's friends hopefully looked for an i'm provement in his condition, i'll spit' Of his age, his old fighting Splrl ! had pulled him through many per iods of bad health.

The origin OF the word bankrupt"
is traced back to ancient times.
Hebraic custom required the deposit In
the temple Of certain sums OF money
in Hebraic currency. AS Roman coins
were frequently used, money changers
set up their table or bench (bank) on
which they kept Hebraic coins to be
bought In Roman money. Money was
also lent, and sometimes the changer
found himself owing more than he
owned. To prevent further calamity
his creditors drove him from his bust
ness and broke his bench to pieces. He
was then "benchbroken" or bankrupt
