Clemenceau fell ‘in love with zhe girl and upon the completion of her York and were married. After 23 years, during which three children were born to them, they were divorced and Mme. Cle- menceau returned to the United States, making her home for a ‘ime in the central west. a native of Durand, Wis. On March 16, 1923, the Milwaukee Journal announced the death of the former Mme. Clemenceau in Paris, where she had been an invalid for ten years. A Paris dispatch of the same date stated that her death had occurred six months before and received the time owing to the delicate and almost forgotten marital questions involved. A few years after the divorce pro- ~eed1ngs the Tiger matried a Paris- ‘enne as his second ‘wife. In 1870 when the power of Na- poleon IIT was waning rapidly, Cle- menceau returned to France.

He was first elected to the General Assembly in 1871 and five yeats later to the Chamber of Deputies, where he soon became a leader of the radicals. Journalistic Activities Clemenceau enhanced his politi- cal power by journalistic activities, which had interested him for sev- eral years. He founded in 1880 La Justice, a daily newspaper, of which he became chief editor. With the ald of this weapon he destroyed half a dozen ministries in as many years. One of his insistent de- of his whole political career in fact, was the complete separition of the Church and State.
