Ling PAYS ELOQUENT TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN SOLDIERS Former Premier Given Warm Wel- come on Arrival for Speak- ing Tour. s the Associated Press. W YORK, November 18.—Georges Ciemenc war-time premier of France, came to America today on a mission of peace.® The fiery old Tiger earnestly volced the purpose of his tour in a brief re- ® tponse at City Hall to an address of ¢ Acting Mayor Hulbert. “In the world at this time,” he de- is which hasn't been clared, “is a cr settled. How it will end nobody knows. 1f you take the wrong side— & well, the war counts for nothing and We have to go to war again. 1t it turns out right, and the right thing is doresat the right time, then it will be the greatest step for the civilization of mankind. Clemenceau’s idea of the “right thirg” is the message he will give to America in a series of addresses here and in Boston, Chicago, St Louis, Washington and Philadelphia. Although he came as a private citi- zen the famous French statesman was accorded the honors of a diplo- mat. Red tape was cut by Wash- ington to facilitate his landing. A personal representative of President Harding, Assistant Secretary of State Bliss, went down the bay to welcome him and invite him to the White House. Jules J. Jusserand, the French ambassador to the United States, was on hand to put the stamp of his government's approval on the ¥ isic. Welcome From Wilson. Clemenceau had scarcely set foot won shore when a telegram from another famous world war figure was handed him. The message from Woodrow Wilson read: “Allow me to bid you welcome to America, where you will find none but friends.” R The Tiger, who had worked at Versailles with Wilson for the league ©of nations, hastened to scribble this reply: “Deepl§ touched by your kind mes- sage. Please accept my kindest re- gards and wishes. Am looking for- ward with great pleasure to seeing you in Washington.” These were the day’s serious notes. For the rest it was a day of mad- cap adventure for the aged states- man, and he went to it with a vim that belled his eighty-one years. The keen eyes beneath the shaggy brows were sparkling and snapping with excitement when the committee that went down the bay to greet him first caught sight of him, high up on the promenade deck of the Paris. They were still sparkling and snapping when he was hustled into Charles Dana Gibson's home, in East %3d street at nightfall, to rest up for the morrow. A Noisy Receptioa. In between he has experienced more \ thrills than the most eager seeing New York visitor normally crowds into a short day. The excitement started when, the formal welcomes aboard the Paris over, he stepped to the deck of the police boat Manhattan to cross to the municipal steamer Macon, which was to land him at the battery. The Manhattan's siren, scarcely #ix feet above the deck, loosed three terrific blasts as he passed it. Clem- enceau jumped, stuffed his fingers $n his ears and scurried for the Ma- con, led by Col.

MEXICO CITY, November 18.—All South and Central American republics were being informed today that Mex- ico résented any censorship of its legislation by the United States or others powers, and that President Obregon’s statement to that effect had secured for him a virtual vote of confidence in the chamber of depu- ties. _This action grew out of a heated debate in the chamber last night fol- lowing the disclosure of a scries of communications which are said to have recently passed between For- elgn Secretary Pani and George T. Summerlin, the American charge d'affaires. In these communications Mr. Summerlin, speaking for the American State Department, {s alles- ed to have offered suggestions con- cerning the prospective petroleum law which is to be considered by congress. The Mexican government is represented as holding the opinion that these suggestions were intrusive. "~ Outburst Over Documents.

PARIS, November 18 —Premier Poincare of France, Lord Curzon, British foreign secretary, and Baron Avezzano, TItalian ambassador to France, reached a complete accord at a conference here today on the gen- eral outlines of the attitude to be taken by the allies toward the Turks at Lausanne peace conference, it was stated this evening. Premier Poincare and Lord Curzon, however, will proceed tomorrow to Ter- ritet, Switzerland, to meet Premier Mus- solinl of Italy, so as further to confirm the harmony of the allied views and to go into the general situation in Europy, Use of Arms Agreed On. A plan for French participation in an armed demonstriliei against - the Turks] if one should_prove necessary, is believed to have been agreed upon. Premier Poincare, i* is declared, has always been willing to agree to use of force in some form as a last resort to support the Mudania armistice agree- ment with the Turks, but Lord Curzon has been anxious to anticipate the fu- ture further and obtain French approval for some plan of united military action it, as is not expected, the Lausanns con- ference falls to reach a peace agree- ‘ment, or in any othér eventuality calling for such action. The representatives of the three allied powers went over Lord Cur- zon's much discussed memorandum point by point, reaching definite agreement on a common course of action. The French, however, were insistent that there should not be such an effort to smooth out the smallest differences as would justify Turkey’s fears that the allies had framed ironclad peace terms, which they would present with the admoni- tion: ‘mm, spommunications as pubifte tr‘;"gfi‘. Bummerlin on October 19 last wrote a personal note to Becretary Panl, inclosing a copy of a draft of a proposed petroleum law and réquesting a copy of the official bill as soon as it. was prepared, On October .21 Secrethry Pani acknowl- edged the note and on-November 1§, according to the published memo- randa, he received another communij- cation from the American charge, in which the Iatter sald he had received instructions from the State Depart- ment to inform the Mexican minister “that the proposed petroleum law is entirely inadequate for the protection of rights legally acquired by North Americans. On November 16 Secretary Pani re- plied that both he and President Ob- regon had not been informed of the text of such a law and that President Obregon had sent no such project to congres: \ “Previeus Censure” Resented. “President Obregon wishes to in- form you,” the note added, “that the decorum and sovereignty of the na- tion totally incapacitates it to accept a suggestion that its laws, which are wholly legislative . matters, should recelve previous censure from the governments of other countries.” This declaration, when read in the chamber, provoked a storm of ap- plause and resulted in the adoption of a resolution commending the presi- dent for his “patriotic sentimerd.” Alvarez del Castillo, president of the co-operatista party, which is dominant in the lower house, declared that a vote of thanks was due.the United States “for uniting all parties in Mexico against this aggression on the part of the United States. The newspapers treat the incident as the most sensational news in sev- eral months. “A grave international incident is surging,” says El Democratic. “Presi- dent Obregon repulses all invasions of national sovereignty,” says El Universal, while Excelsior declares that Mexico ‘will not permit previous censure of its laws by any foreign government. Mr. Summerlin - declined to make a Chance for Turks. “Sign on the dotted line.” Their diplomatic explanation of this point might be roughly approxi- mated as a desire to have the allies &0 through the motions of a debate at Lausanne at least and give the Turks a chance to present their views. Marshal Foch, who came out first from the three and a half hours’ ses- sfon at the forelgn office, smiled, ap- parently exultahtly, but said nothing. His pleasure was attributed to ac- ceptance in the main of his view thaf the most effective means of co- ercing the Turks in case of necessity would be a joint military and naval demonstration, in which he outlined ¥rance's large part. “His contention wes that such.a show of force, when it became known that France was ready to act and was supported by her Balkan allles, would. satisfy the Turks that they faced overwhelming power.

Republican leaders in thc Senate, among them Senator Curtis of Kansas, the republican whip, and Senator Smoot of Utah, declare that there will be sufficient votes in the Senate to put the measure through. But they are doubtful as to the pos- sibility of reaching a vote in the Senate.
