TIGER BITTER
IN LAST DAYS,
BOOK REVEALS
Longed to Vent Wrath on
Many Developments of
Postwar Period.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, March 2o.-George
ClemenceauS last days were
Swallowed by the bitterness of his
quarrel with Marshal Ferdinand
Foch, but the Old Tiger found
many other irritating postwar de-
velopmentS on which he longed TO
vent his Scornful wrath.
In the volume which Clemenceau
wrote III the days when he was
fighting off death. as he had fought
off the Germans at gates of Paris,
he penned an indictment OF others
than FOch.
Faltering and Flinching
Whether in the government, In
parliament, Or in public opinion, p"
he wrote in the first installment of
Grandeur and Misery of Victory, "
published in Golfers today, II see
everywhere nothing but faltering
and flinching. Our allies, Disabled,
have contributed largely to this re-
suit, and we have never done any
thing to deter them.
England in various guiSeS has
gone back TO her old policy Of
strife on the continent, and Amer
lea, prodigiously enriched by the
war, is presenting us with trades
mans account that does more honor
to her greed than to her self
respect"
In regard to his reply to Foch's
attacks on his direction of govern
mental affairs during the peace
negotiations, Clemenceau shows
much bitterness, but some signs of
the softening of his relentlessnesS
in the days of retirement.
Everything Forgotten?
"Ah, Foch! Foch! My good Fochl
have you then forgotten every
thing?" he wrote, only to resume a
few paragraphs further on, his at
tack on the marshal.
He paid tribute to Foch's genius
at the Battle of Ypes, giving him
credit for knowing how ITO impose
his will upon the allies" and he did
not regret that he won Foch's ap-
pointment as generalissimo al
though "the difficulty came mainly
from the British side"

TIN PAN ALLEY
'MUSCLED IN ON
BY RACKETEERS
Popular Song Numbers Are
HaWked on Corner for
Dime a Copy.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, March 29.-The
gangsters have "muscled in" on Tin
Pan Alley, and the music publish
erS have set up Squawk that
finally has reached the ears of Will
liam D. Mitchell, United States at
torney-general.
It has to do with the song sheet
racket, in which street vendors
hawk as many as dozen of the
latest popular numbers, cheaply
printed on a single tinted sheet, for
a dime.
Although there is no doubt that
the business of ignoring copyrights
is dishonest to degree, nothing Of
Importance has been done about it
far in New York.
One on Every Corner
Almost every crowded street cor
ner boasts a song sheet vendor and
they occupy the space in the crowd
ed subway passages formerly given
over-for some occult reason-to
the dirty-faced and frequently evil
smelling gentlemen who used the
public corridors for peddling bal
loon zeppelins and jumping dolls
Broadway at night is thick with the
song sheet peddlerS.
It is a, new racket. It started in
small way last fall at Coney Is
land. In the six months since, the
Music Publishers Protective Associ-
alton, which is the voice of Tin Pan
Alley, asserts that song writers and
publishers have lost more than S.
100000 and that the losses are con-
tinuing at the rate Of more than
81 900. 900 a month. Sales in Irving
Berlin'S company alone are claimed
to have dropped more than $4,000
week since the sheets have been
sold.
Districts Are Divided
The racket is so profitable that
it has passed entirely into the hands
of gangsters and the sales districts
are divided among rival organiza-
lions who jealousy protect their
rights So far, there have been
sluggings and threats but no ma
chine-gunnings
With the first frosts the Coney
Island pioneers moved into Dixie.
The racket spread to Memphis, At
lanta and Dallas. Then it invaded
Chicago, Syracuse, Boston, Bal
timore, San Francisco, Pittsburgh
Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland and
Los Angeles.
The Music Publishers Protective
Association is very anxious to move
against the dishonest song gang
sters as soon as the government can
find time to assist in a big way.
The association would like for the
public to help by refraining from
buying the sheets, but it hardly eX-
poets that because it has dealt with
the public for many years.
