CLEMENCEAU TO
Be REMEMBERED
WITH MONUMENT

PARIS, Oct. l. U.P)-The COM
memorative statue of Georges Clem-
eneeau will stand in the Champs
ElySees near the Petit Palais, facing
the Arch Of Triumph.
After considerable debate by the
Municipal Council. the proper ne
mortal TO Frances greatest premier
has been decided upon in the shape
of a stone and bronze monument,
rather than ii naming one of Paris
principal avenues after him.
As in the case of Marshal
Foch. many wanted 10 rename
the Avenue des Champs Elysees
the Avenue Georges Clemen-
cCau. but this thoroughfare was
too well known TO be changed.
The spot chosen is at the end Of
formal garden and one Of the
beauty spots of Paris, and. of course,
right in the Champs Fiysees.
The sculptor Francois Cogne has
finished the plaster cast. and it has
| been approved. The family would
have preferred that Clemenceaus
friend. Sicard. Go the work.
The present plan is to stand The
! bronze figure of Clemenceau on q
stone plinth. The statue will be
back from the end of the plinth
about two meters. giving the inn
preston that at the age represent
ed. Clemenceau was just nearing the
elimination of his destiny.
It will show Clemeneeau in the
costume endeared to millions. that
