PARADE AND RECEPTION GIVEN FAMOUS DIPLOMAT Visitor Responds tg Warm Wel- come—Surprised at Growth of City. By the Associated Pres: NEW YORK, November 18.—Georges Clemenceau today again set foot on American soil. The war pre- mier of France, who left this country more than half a century ago as a young medi- [ eal student, re- turned in ripe old age, with many Years of stormy wstatesmanship be- hind _him, to win for his country- men the sympathy of America. The Tiger came as a private citl zen, but to no po- tentate could have been extended a more stately wel- come than was accorded him when he was taken from the steamship Paris, in the harbor, and landed on the historic Battery wall. Thousan: The Tiger found thousands of peo- ple walting for him on the tip of Manhattan Island. There were cheers when he stepped ashore, and then, headed by the Police Department Band, M. Clemenceau and the com- mittee which had gone down the bay to welcome him started up Broadway for his official reception at city hall. The aged statesman was carrying a red rose in one hand when he began his motor trip up the great canyon. Girls in office buildings leaned from CLEMENCEAU. on Pier. windows and blew kisses to him.

He was wearing a gray cutaway with a gray fedora. The committee did not board the Paris as quickly as it expected, be- cause the Macom forgot to bring boarding ladders. Soon, however, an- other municipal craft arrived properly equipped and slipped fi between the | Macom and the Paris. The committee then stepped aboard, while Clemen- ceau observed their difficulties with the curiosity of a child. Welcomed to Ameriea. Escorted to the grand salon by the captain of the Paris, the committee was presented to M. Clemenceau by J. J. Jusserand, French ambassador to the United States. Robert Woods Bliss, assistant sec- retary of state, welcomed the former premier to America in behalf of Presi- dent Harding, and invited him to visit the President at Washington. Cleme: ceau accepted, expressing his delight. Complimented by the committee on the healthy appearance he presented, M. Clemenceau replied, lightly: “I am growing younger every day. In fifty years I think I'll be a baby.” Robert Condon, 4 member of the natiogal executive committee of the American Legion, then welcomed the former premier “as a man who, more than any other, exemplifies the’ spirit fn which we carried on the war.” Shaking hands, the Tiger replied “You're the man I like to see. It’ the thoughts of your men that count.” | Making ready to leave the Paris, M. Clemenceau called excitedly to his valet Albert, who was going up to the dock with the baggage, to be sure and see that it was landed safely. Poses for Picture. Led by Col. E. M. House, a close personal friend, the distinguished Frenchman stepped gingerly aboard the Manhattan to cross to the Macom. At that moment the Manhattan’s siren loosed three tremendous blasts. The Tiger clapped his hands hurriedly over his ears and scrambled aboard the Macom. s Then came a rush of photographers. “Oh, isn't there somebody to kill these photographers? ‘cried the Tiger, plaintively. “Is it not permissible in your country?” But he posed. A . band, aboard the Macom then struck up the Marseillaise and M. Clemenceau, his hat removed, stood with bowed head opposite Col. House. Just as he was about to drop into a - the musicians swung into “The Star Spangled Banner” and he rose again. Then he was led to the bow by the committee and sank into an easy chair. The Tiger kept casting piercing gmnces from under his shaggy gray brows at the harbor scene. Soom he interrupted Ambassador - Jusserand, who was chatting politics, to inquire the whereabouts of--the Statue of Liberty. M. Jusserand pointed it out through the mist, with the jesting observation that the lady was some- what obscuréd by prohibition. - To Attend Opera. “Oh,” tinally exclaimed Clemenceau, gazing at the statue, “it is really im- pressive!” Before landing the Tiger announced that he intended this aft- ernoon to attend the performance of “Mephistopheles,” at the Metropolitan Opera House, where he will déliver his first lecture in America, next Tuesday night. His chief purpose in attending the opera’will be to get a line on the acoustics of the house. He explained that he was anxious for all his audi- ence to hear him, but that he could not scream. In his chat with Ambassador Jut serand on politics, M. Clemenceau con- wversed in French. During an animat- ed discussion regarding Premier Mus- solini of Italy, the fascisti leader, the ‘Tiger exclaimed: “Ah, there’s a government! The Tiger seemed bewildered when he saw the army of newspaper report- photographers and' movie men, seventy-five strong, which had come down the harbor greet him.

NATIONALISTS CONSIDER CALIPHATE IS VACATED Guard Against Escape of Other Al cused Officials—Plan to Se- " lect New Sultan. By the Associated Press. CONSTANTINOPLE, November 18.— The “Turkish nationalists consider that Sultan Mohammed VI by his flight has surrendered the caliphate, according to Rafet Pasha, Kemalist governor of Constantinople. “According to the Moslem law,” he told the Associated Pre “when the sultan leaves Turkish soil and enters Christian territory he places himself under Christian protection and there- by loses the caliphate, ceasing to any authority over the Mos- Britain’s Part Condemned. Mohammed's departure on the Brit- ish dreadnaught Malaya in the face of threatened trial for treason by the Angora government was compared by Rafet Pasha to the plight of Damad Ferid Pasha, former grand vizier, and the other “members of the opposition who by their acts were compromised in the eyes of the whole Turkish nation.” “Great Britain’s connivance in the escape,” he added. “is flagrant inter: ference in Turkey's intern: Rafet was much agitates several hours following the escape in frantitcally telephoning Angora for instructions and taking precau- tions against the flight of the mem- bers of the sultan’s cabinet and other high personages wanted by the na- tlonalists. He sent a message to An- gora urging immediate convocation of the great national assembly to select a new caliph. The most likely candidate for the caliphate is considered to be Abdul Medjid, cousin of the sultan and heir to the Ottoman throne. May Demand Return. It is reported here that the Angora government will rhake formal repre- sentations to Great Britain for the return of the sultan to the Kemalists, pointing out that only the great na- tional assembly of Turkey has au- thority to direct the sultan's move- ments. and declaring’ that he must trial as ordered by the govern: The sultan left his palace by the back door, known as the Malta gate, which heretofore has always en sealed. The British for some time had been aware of his anxiety and fear for his personal safety, and were pre- pared to remove him when he said the word. They explained, however, that the request for ‘e conduct must come’ from him, they could .be placed in the false position of having kidndped him. ‘They also pointed out that he must a reasonable diftance from the palace, as it was inexpedient to intro. duce British guards into the grounds, because of the danger of conflict with the Kemalist soldiery there. The sul- tan agreed to sll of these conditions. Only Three Knew of Flight. Only three persons in the palace knew of the intended flight, namely, the court chamberlain, the sultan’s personal physician and his bandmas- ter. These were the only palace offi- cials he trusted toward the end, and he even kept his wives in the dark as to his plans. . The .flight was so carefully ar- ranged that the nationalist officers and soldiers stationed in the palace grounds did not learn of it until shortly before the selamlik or prayer ceremony at noon, in which the sultan ‘was to have participated. All pedestrian and vehicular traffic in the neighborhood of the palace was then stopped and the place was sur- rounded by nationalist military and gendarmerie. Within the palace co: sternation reigned among the sultan’s wives and eunuchs. At the selamlik a number of Ame; cans waited in vain for the sultan's ceremonial progress to the mosque. The only indication they had of any- thing irregular was the presence of additional Kemalist soldiers in the places usually occupied by the sul- tan’s imperial guards. Believed Confined by Cold. Maj. Sherman Miles, American mili- tary attache ‘and the son of Lieut. Gen. Neison Miles, was a .spectator at the selamlik with his wife. He inquired of the sultan's aide as to Mohammed's , | whereabouts, to which the aide replied *He is safe in the palace, but has a very bad cold and does not think it safe to venture out” It was apparent from the officer’s sincerity that even he was|Y ignorant of his chief’s escape. ‘When the Associated Press corre- spondent visited the palace on Thurs- day, the sultan made 'wn, through a member of his court his intention of remaining on the throne. He declared the action of the Angora government in abolishing the sultanate was invalid and was not supported by his 300,000,000 Moslem subjects in India and elsewhere. Inquired as to U. 8. Attitude. He inquired through his chamberiain regarding the sentiment of the people of the United States, whom he held in ad- miration and esteern, and begged the correspondent to deny reports of his abdication. He also asked the Ameri- ‘can people not to belleve all the stories of Turkish atrocities. - The chamberlain represented his sov- ereign as spending much time in prayer and in preparing documents to show himself blameless for the events of the last four years, which have kept Co: stantinople under aliled control. © “The sultan is a highly and triotic man,” said the cl - berlain, “and: has done nothing to reflect upon the Turkish nation.

J., November 18.—Yale and Princeton foot ball teams met here this after- noon in their annual game before the largest throng of spectators that ever witnessed a game In the Tigers' grid- iron "aréna. More than 56,000 spec- tagors: were present : whes. the two elevers took the fleld. The sky was overcast, but the turf was dry and fast. First Period. R Princeton kicked off. Yale immedi- ately punted and Cleaves of Prince- ton, after making s 6-yard gain at end, fumbled. Yale recovered the ball on Princeton’s 35-yard line. In three plays Yale had a first down at Princeton’s 20-yard line, largely because of a 12-yard tackle smash by Jordan. Scott, on a double pass, circled end for 10 yards. In two more plays he put the ball a yard from Princeton’s goal. Capt. Jordan then tried to score a touchdown, but Princeton took the ball on downs inches away from the goal line. Dickinson of Princeton punted from behind his own goal line and Neale made a fair catch on Princeton’s 30 yard line. Yale lost so much ground in endeavors to rush that it was forced to punt. The ball went over the goal line and Princeton put it in play on the 20-yard line. After three punts by Princeton and two by Yale, Yale started another march toward Princeton’s goal and had the ball on Princeton’s 38-yard line as the first period ended. Two 8-yard bucks by Jordan were prin- cipal factors in this advance. Second Period. The fierce Tiger defense resulted in Yale losing ground on the first three plays of the second period. Neale tried an onside kick, but the ball was caught by Gorman at his own goal line and run back 15 yards. Thomson, sub for Howard, in the Princeton line-up, made a poor punt out of bounds at his own 30-yard line and Yale tried again to batter its ‘way toward Princeton’s goal. After one gain of five yards by Neale and several short plunges by Jordan, Princeton took the ball on downs at its own 22-yard line. On fourth down Yale tried a double pass, which failed to work. After an exchange of punts, which was featured by the flerce defense on both sides, /making it impossible to advance the ball, Princeton inter- cepted a Yale forward pass at Prince- ton's 40-yard line. A forward pass from Cleaves to Smith, sub at right end, gave tHe Tigers a first down on 's 30-yard line. The play gained 30 yards. . Three plays failed to gain, and Cleaves failed in an attempt at a drop- kick, the ball hitting the goal post. After Yale put the ball in play on its own 20-yard line Princeton re- ceived the ball at its own 36-yard line on punt and Cleaves circled end for 15-yard gain to midfield. He appeared on his way for a touchdown when forced out of bounds Princeton could not gain beyond midfield, however, and was forced to punt. As the period ended Yale had the ball on Princeton's 35-yard line after & run of 30 yards by Capt. Jor- dan. Cleaves caught the Yale player as he appeared certain to score a touchdown. The period ‘ended before the line-up for another play. 3 . ‘Third Period. Yale kicked off at the beginning of the third period. and on the first line- up Cleaves of Princeton threw a for- ward pass to Treat which gained 30 yards, and put the ball on midfield. Cleaves circled end for 7 yards, and then made a'run of 30 yards, twisting and dodging his way through the Yale team.

LAFOLLETTE UPON WARPATH IN NAME OF PROGRESSIVES New Power in Congress, He Says, Will Translate Re- sult of Election. TO FIGHT SHIP SUBSIDY MEASURE TO LIMIT Senator Deplores Continued Service of Defeated Congress Members. Throwing down the gauntlet to the administration on the eve of the opening of the special session of Congress, Senator La Follette of Wis- consin announced today that the progressives had come here to “translate the re- sults of the elec- into legisla- now come for the organization of a well - defined Eroup, co-operat- ing in support of accepted progres- sive principles and ;‘;&nries,‘l’ said the sconsin sena- gepa ollette. tor. He added that v g he proposed to discuss the matter Wwith other progressive members of both the Senate and House, and that definite plans would then be adopted. Senator La Follette did announc today, however, his intention of fight- ing to the limit the administration ship subsidy bill and the proposed amendments to strengthen the Esch- Cummins transportation act. He pointed out that the progressive groups in the Senate and House in the new Congress would hold the bal- ance of power, and said they intended to use that power. He assailed the practice which keeps in Congress for the next three months men who have been defeated at the polls. New Party Uncertain. “Who would seek to run a great business plant with a group of dis- charged employes?’ he asked. While he did not say that the progressives ‘would force a special session of the new Congress next spring, the In- timation was that it might be ex- pected. “Does it look to you as though a new third party would be formed to from Berlin, to have abandomed Ris_eflort te get a ministry to- :-en he situation in the country?” AMBASSADOR WIEDFELDT. 2 1 : ALL WINS FIGHT Court Orders Police to Re- turn “Wet Goods” Seized in Raid. Judge Robert E. Mattingly today reaffirmed his order of recent date for the return of $50.000 worth'of whis- kies, champagnes, beers and other alcoholic beverages taken by revenue officers and police in a raid on the premises of Frank Hall. By agreement of attorneys the case was reopened, Daniel Thew Wright | acting as attorney for Hall, and As- sistant District Attorneys Kell. Hart, Lodge, West and Hooe, repre- senting the government. The go ernment failed to convince in its ar- gument for a bill of exceptions for the purpose of securing a writ of error from the District Court of Ap- peals. Contention of Hall. Mr. Wright contended that the liquor was in illegal possession of the government in that the search war- rant under which it was taken di- rected the officers to 1000 and 1002 7th street southwest, the premises of Hall, but that instead the officers took the property from 636 and 638 K street. He declared there was mno question raised by the government as to ownership of the property, the question . at_issue in the original hearing of the case being the il- legality . of the search and the ii- legality of the possession of the property in the hands of the govern- ment. It is understood that it is possible now that the revenue officers in po: session of the goods will refuse t make delivery to Hall under the ar- der of Judge Mattingly, and then the question of contempt of court will arise. Under such proceedings, the case would probably come up for fur- ther hearing. WELLS BADLY BEATEN. By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, November 18.—H.

Copright, 1922. BERLIN. Novemiber 18.—The post of foreign minister in the Cuno cabi- net, it became known today, has been offered to Ambassador Wiedfeldt. Hugo Stinnes has put his stamp of approval oM the selection of Wil helm Cuno as the successor of Chan- cellor Wirth, but, on the other hand, the communists have labeled him a “capitalistic chancellor.” and have de- clared war on him without giving him time to form a cabinet. The principal question that has been troubling Mr. Cuno is to whom he should offer the post of foreign minister, which has been vacant since the death of Walter Rathenau. Mr Cuno had a talk of several hours with A. Harriman, president of the United American lines, in Ham- burg Friday presumably on the ques- tion of future relations with the United States. Cuno’s announcement that his ministry would be a “cabinet of work” has been interpreted by the communists as a veiled hint that ef- forts will be made to abolish the eight-hour day. —_— FOOTBALL SCORES.

FRAZEE CONFIRMS DEAL; CARRIGAN MAY BE PILOT 0; first BOSTON, November 18.—The trade between the Detrolt and Boston clubs, by which the Red Sox give Derrill Pratt, second baseman, and Rip Coilins, pitch- er, for Ehmke, pitcher; Holling, catcher, and Herman, first baseman, was con- firmed by President H. H. Frazee before he left here for New York today. The question who is to manage the \Red Sox next season still is in doubt. Although Hugh Dufty has signed a con- tract for another year, President Frazee is negotiating with both Bill Carrigan, manager of world champion Red Sox teams of other years, aud Frank Chance, formerly manager of Chicago and New York clubs. The latter is understood to have been virtually eliminated, and Car- rigan had returned to his home at Lew- iston, Me., today to consider a proposi- tion. made by Frazee yesterday.

A prepared statement, issued by Senator Lafollette, follow “As a result of the elections, a sit- uation has been created which, to my mind, calls for definite action on the part of progressives in Congress. The people have ven them a mandate which cannot be ignored. “For several years a small number of progressives in both parties have been in disagreement with the most important policies of those who have been for the time in positions of party leadership. Unity Positive Action. “Although it has been apparent that the broad aims and purpose of these progressives were in harmony, the necessary elements have not been present for the formation of an ag- gressive group, united upon a pro- gram of positive actlon. “Nevertheless, in a time of great reaction, the progressives in Con- gress, acting without any concerted plan, have defeated many viclous pieces of legislation and have presented alternative policies which have commanded general public cen- fidence. “The time has now come for the or- ganization of a well defined group, co- operating in support of accepted pro- gressive principles and policies. “The announced program of the ad- ministration makes plain the neces- egard- ing the expressed will of the people and ignoring the necessity for imme- diate and tangible relief for prostrate American agriculture, President Harding is about to demand the pass- age of the ship subsidy bill by the h. cated also & desire to rush through a program of legislation accelerating the merger of the railroads into a small number of monster systems, and giving the Rallroad Labor Board coer- cive power to prohibit and punish strikes and other lawful activities of employes. “Great interests are employing their influence with high officials in the administration to effect the immediate transfer of the national forests to the control of the Secretary of the In- terior, whose declared policy and practice is to” turn the natural re- sources of the nation over to exploita- tion by private monopoly. ““These measures must be defeated. “Wherever the ship subsidy bill was an issue in the campaign, as in the republican states of Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Nebraska and North Dakota, it was overwhelmingly repu. diated. The action of President ing in forcing the ship subsidy bill upon Congress at this time is, therefore, a direct chalicnge, not only to the pro- gressives, but to the people. Sees Defeat of Measure. “I am convinced that there are in the present Congress a sufficient number of patriotic and courageous men to defeat this measure. In any event, such at- tempts to abuse the dominant power of the administration over this discredited Congress will be resisted at this time, and will be decisively repudiated by the Congress to which the people have given their mandate. 0 one can be unmindful of the fact that the election such a close division ngress that the progressive delegation from a single state holds the balance of power ‘in the House of Representa- tives.
