SUE CLEMENCEAU CHALLENGES CRITIC 7 DARES SENATOR HITCHCOCK TO VISIT FRANCE ON RETIREMENT | ° AND FIND TRUTH OF ARGUMENT Tiger of France Also Lashes Back at Sen- ator Borah’s Charge That He Is Re- sponsible for Chaos in Europe BOSTON, Nov. 24.—(By The Associated Press.) —The Tiger of France lashed back at his senate critf€s today in his first American interview, granted to The Associated Press, replying particularly te the criticisms of Senators Hitchcock and Borah. “Senator Hitchcock calls me a militarist,” Clemenceau, French war premier said. “Well, T am glad to tell Mr. Hitchcock he is in the senate, owing to the vote, for only a few more days. When he ts! frev, I dare him to go to France and! learn the facts. Answering Senator Hitchcock's de-| mand that he explain why France insisted on using black troops in her army ‘of occupation, the Tiger de- clared tat Hitchcock had been mis- lead ‘by German propaganda and that today there was not e single biack soldier in German terrifory. ‘To Senator Borah’s recent assertion that Clemenceau was primarily re- sponsible for conditions in Furope because of his great influence in the Grafting of the Versailles treaty, the aged statesman declared his situation was “particularly distressing” since in France he had been most bitterly criticized “for having ‘asked from: the Germans less than I ought to.” ‘When he was told that some of the senators at Washington had said they were not able to understand clearly from his speechés just what he want- ed of America, the Tiger said with a. gleam in his eyes, that he thought they would know after his address; this afternoon--the second formal speech of his American tour. Ciemenceau received his interview- ers in his room at the home of F. L. Higginson, Jr. He wore his usual gray cutaway suit, and his gray skull cap was perched on his bald head. Seating himself in a huge easy chair, he said: “Now—put any questions you lik and I will aoswer them.” The. interviewers went at once to the subject of the Washington crit!- clams. Clemenceau smiled and. shrugged. “X had made it\a point not to. dis- cuss with official people in America,” he said, ‘but I have said I will an- swor all, so I must answer. “Tam glad to tell Mr. Hitchcock ho! is in the senate only for a few days} owing to the vote,” he began, re- ferring to the Nebraskan's recent de- feat for reelection. “Therefore, I! think I'l be excused !f I dare him} to go to Europe, and if he finds any-} one in my country or elsewhere who) says I have been a militarist, then Ill-own it. “J have suffered much from 1871 te 1917 for not being a militar I turned militarist when the war broke! out—before, I had been a militarist to the extent of extending the length of military service in France. “But that wasn’t too bad, if it allowed us to oppose the German j front until England and America ap-| peared Asked to answer Hitchcock's ques- tion about, black troops, the Tiger; said “Bon” and waded in. “In the first place there are no| black troops of occupation in the area of occupation of the enemy. ‘In the second place, I have seen black Amer- ican troops at the front, and they stood the fire with bravery, too.” “Of cuurse this has nothing to do jat Verailles, with (Be quest’on of whether we are miliarists or not.

Even, I should say their discipline is eter than any white troop: ‘S$o—I have seen papers of German propaganda which I suppose inspired Mr., Hitchcock's sayings and’ I éan pla'nly say they are so many lies. “The day before 1 lett Paris I heard that these stories would be employed to prove we were a militaristic people. So I asked the official people to give me plain information. “The atiswer was that there was only one established case of a Sene galese having mistreated a German woman. He was sentenced by a mill- tary tribunal.’” The reason black troops were sent into the occupation zone at first. Clemenceau said, was to provide a few months of home leave for the white troops, “that had stood the fire for years until America could come, and were rather exhausted.” ‘We couldn't foresee, he said “thet It would be more Objectionable {+ te the Germans than to the French in whose towns they had been garri- jsoned, When we learned it was, they were withdrawn. “The German objection was more of a surpr’se because they employed | black troops, and if they did not bring them to the front, it was because no means of bringing them could be found. They did find means to invade Belgian congo with biacks.” Then the Tiger came to Senator Borah’s statement that he, Clemen- ceau, was responsible for most Europe's woes, because of the treaty of Versailles. Declaring that the critic'sm wes exactly the opposite in his own coun- try, where be was-assailed for nor de- manding enough, he continued: “Let those who say I asked too much, go to Europe—let them bring} thelr German friends, and let us set- ‘tle it there where it can be seen. “Moreover if too much was asked | which I do not bel'eve, lyet 75 per cent of it has-been taken ut without my assent ana out of my | Power.” Ending the interview, Clemenceau declared his reception in America had been “greater than I was entitled to expect.” “I was recetved as a friend, as a son,” he said. “‘Whateyer happens in the end I never shall forget it.” of, WA rh ER, WYO.
