q G B Tiger Calls at Wilson H om;, W here Old Friends Meet Again| The brief visit vesterday afternoon | of Georges Clemenceau with former President Wilson, with whom he had | labored over the peace of the world| d a re-made Europe at Paris, pro-| ded for Amerlcans a point of vivid interest. There was some surprise that the call was so short. There had been ! speculation as to whether the “Tiger” | would be invited to dine. When, | however, the ald war premier rolled of the up in his car to the home former President, his associate, it was learned t he had expected to re-| main perhaps a half hour or longer.

Clemenceau described his v! according to the Assoclated Pre: one of the utmost cordiality and af- fection as hetween old friends. adding that he and the former President h: talked a little about old times in Paris and also about e past and the present.” Mr. Wilson made no reference to the purpose of the visit of the former premier of France to America or the subject matter of his addresses in this country, M. Clemenceau coa- tinued, but smiled and seemed pleased FRANCE IS DETERMINED TO SURVIVE. rom First Page.) What does France She all but succumbed under biows of the enemy.

We | 1 obtained credit in the United States permitting us to pay for the orders for war materials which we placed there. In October. 1915, the Anglo-| French loan placed 1.250.000.000 francs at our disposal. France and England, olidly linked on the battleficld, guar- | anteed this loan. It was the first economic scheme of the war affecting | the three allied countries and it was an urgent and necessary one for solidarity. In 1916 France seemed her ©ld self again. She gave such an im- pression of resolve. of vitality and ! energy that Germany declded to! strike her to the heart, to kill her by surprise before she and_ England could get together to ward off the| declsive attack. Verdun followed. They did not pass! Lost Best of Her Blood. : Despite their furious attacks. con- tinuing for five months; despite a massing of guns such as history had never before known, they did no penetrate over the Vaux-Douaumont! line, on the right bank of the Meuse, nor did they take Hill 304 or Dead| Man’s Crest, on the left bank. Every sion in our army came to Ver- to he decimated. France lost dun there the best of her blood.

Sending back | our wounded to the firing line direct- 1y they left the hospital, sacrificing, without considering a moment, an ir- replaceable elite of character and! brains, leaving the cultivation of the ! soil to women. old men and children, rance succeeding in mobilizing 90| per cent of her male population be- | iween the ages of elghteen and fift A prodigious effort and one eniy equaled in the domain of war mate- rial production.

But Petain restored confidence to the armies, as he had restored the situa- tion at Verdun. The nation dealt with the pusillanimous and silenced bad citizens. France breathed and lived again. America Hands Knockout. Tn 1918 America had entered thei war. The enemy grasped that the arrival of vour troops would mean the knockout blow for him. He would have to act beforehand.

The troops sre as always admirably heroic and the nation retains its calm. The Ger- | nans would cross the Marne. Large strips of territory before Paris and alais pass into their hands. But the hour of victory is about to ring for the entente. In two months all the lost ground is regained. ] uch are the trials we have been through. At the armistice France was “all in,” as you say, but she was ive because she had willed that should survive. ‘The war cost our country 150 mil- lions of francs and a further 200 millions in damage to property and individuals.

Payment of interest and amortization of debt will take up 12 ‘milliards in our next budget, or 61 per cent of our total expenditure. We paid back 131 milliards of the debts the war. milliards this year, and next vea sum having been paid out abroad. We have been compelled to consolidate our credit by reducing our fiduciary circulation of 37 milliards 800 mil- lions in 1920 to 36 milliards 400 mil- lions in 1921. Meantime we are re- acquiring the gold that we had placed in the*Bank of England during the war. Cites Budget Cut. In another field we have not only signalized our desire for peace by r ducing our duration of military serv- ice from three years to eighteen months, and by the suppression of many organizations; we have written these naval and military modifications into our budget as follows: In 1919 {penciture Temains 19 " master of i Should the sapping |3 { fusion. {who expound theorles of THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
