Volume
By Poincare Has
New Revelations
Deals With Events Center
ing Around the Arm.
istice Period
b. SAMUEL DASHlELL
United Press Staff Correspondent:

PARIS, Nov. S. (UP).
Hitherto unknown incidents of
the gravest nature are revealed
in Poincare's latest addition to
his series of war books. This
volume deals especially with the
events centering around the Arm
istice.
Rich in documentary material,
which naturally would be in the
possession of Frances war presl-
dent, the present volume, which
Poincare calls the Eve Of the
Armistice, is one Of the most IN
teresting Of the series.
In this book, the fighting ola
Tiger. Clemenceau. is shown IN
one of his most tigerish moods.
Although few realize the fact,
Poincare shows how the Tiger ac-
tually resigned because of a
misunderstanding over a phrase
which incidentally came from
Georges Leagues, the late min
lister of the navy.
FIRST ARMISTICE LETTER
F. 1t concerned the first CORE
spondence which came to the
president through Switzerland
dealing with the beginning of the
Armistice, in which Germany,
Austria, and Turkey were feeling
,out possibilities. This was early
in October. 1918.
The correspondence which this
sArmistice feeler occasioned be-
tween the president Of France
and Frances fighting Premier
Gorges Clemenceau shows the
temper Of both men. Poincare
urged Clemenceau to be watch
full. Clemenceau was suspicious
and also was having a tussle with
Foch and Lloyd George, who he
thought were conniving to end
the war perhaps too soon, as the
Germans were weakening and the
French morale was strong. More
over, Clemenceau did not hesitate
to show Poincare that he was an
cry at Foch because Foch con-
sistently refused to give orders
to the Americans.
In the early letters, Poincara
urged Clemenceau to favor The
Armistice appeal, indicating that
no one would accuse him, if care
full, of hamstringing the victo"-
ious French soldiers. Clemenceau
took exception to the word ham,
stringing, which had been sug-
gested to Pointare by Leygues,
Clemenceau resigned in a brief

letter, and Poincare replied cour-
teously though firmly.
TIGER HATED KAISER
The letters concerning the Arm
istice reveal that Clemenceau
never quite forgot the Franco
Prussian war, and he invariably
referred to Kaiser Wilhelm as
Frederick II, still evidently hat
ing that monarch and still sub
consciously thinking he was about
to dictate terms to the man OF
1870 instead of the enemy Oh
1914.
The tone of Clemenceau's re-
plies sometimes is unusually caus-
tic especially when he urges rom
care TO come to him and tell MN
things in person instead OF Will
inc letters "for history"
