AIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1922 ANECDOTES ABOUT TIGER OF FRANCE Humorous Stories Dealing With, (lémencean’s Career Paris, Nov. 24, — Returning to Parls after being a guest at a hunting party glven by President Loubet in the ITorest of Fontalneblean, the chauffeur of Georges Clemencean lost his way, A luxurious limousine owned 1 by a well known financier happened by and the chauffeur hailed it, Recognizing Clemenccau the knight | of high finance, moved by a desire to be agreeable to the minister of the interlor, sald: “Just fall in behind our ecar follow us.* “You've heard him,” whispered Clemenceau to his chauffeur, “fol- | low that automobile but be prudent, keep your distance, it might lead us| to La Bante prisom.” As a matter of fact, six months later the financler went to jail for a long period and the minister of the interior was greatly responsible for the pitiless manner in which the case against him was prosecuted. " Deputy Alexandre Varenne, meet- ing Georges Clemenceau in the lob- bies of the chamber of deputies the other day, waxed reminiscent, | “When you were premier I was in the opposition,” said the deputy from the left. ““So was 1,” replied Clemenceau. “How could that be, when you were president of the council?" asked Va- renne, surprised. “Well, I was always in the opposi- tion against my own minister,” the ““Tiger” answered. and Rodin, the famous sculptor, was a great admirér of Georges Clemenceau. For many years he urged the old statesman to pose for a bust “which would transmit his features to pos- terity.” “Never mind about the posterity part of it,” the *“Tiger” finally said one day, “if you desire a bust of my ugly face as a souvenir, you can have it for yourself,” The sculptor found Clemenceau a very, nervous model. Continually the premier chatted, turned his head on all sides, never remaining quite long enough to permit Rodin to get the right angle to the light. | But the bust was at last completed and Clemenceau was asked to come to the studio and have a look at it In a critical mood, the “Tiger"” sur- veyed the magnificent work, a perfect living likeness. “Who is the old Mongolian gen- eral?” snapped the “Tiger” in a surly m@d. odin was greatly peeved at the lack of appreciation and until his death the relations between the sculp- tor and statesman were never as cor- dial as they had been previously. Georges Clemenceau never had any patience for the details of technical engineering. Gabriel Voisin, the motor manufacturer, was explaining to the Premier one day the intricacies of a new motor destined to increase the speed of airplanes 20 per cent. Clemenceau asked many amateurish questions, “You evidently don’t ' understand ‘the first thing about what I am say- ing,” Voisin finally declared with some impatience. ‘You're right, and 1 don’t wan® to,” replied Clemenceau. Intimidation is a word missing from the otherwise large vocabulary of Georges Clemenceau. During the diplomatic incidents of Casablanca in; 1908, the German ambassador called on the ‘Tiger”; then premier of France, and after adopting an un- compromising attitude, finally de- clared that if Germany was not given satisfaction, he would be compelled' to demand his passports. ““The Berlin express leaves at nine; it is now seven o’clock,” replied Clemenceau looking at his watch, “you'd better hurry or you'll miss it.” The German ambassador did not leave and the next day he informed | the premier that Germany was satis- fied. Georges Clemenceau is fearless when facing the shells of the enemy's guns or an adversary’'s sword or pistol on the field of honor, but he lives in dire fear of a cold in the head. In Strasburg, during the never-to- be forgotten voyage to the retrieved provinces of Alsace-Lorraine, he vis- ited most of the places of worship of the various religions, Catholic church- es, Protestant temples and syna- H gogues. d “I have chosen my religion,” he told a friend one evening, “the Jew- ish religion.” His friend expressed great surprise. “It is the only religion where one may keep one's hat on'at all times,” he explained, rubbing his bald -head. Georges Clemenceau's features are of a+pronounced Mongolian type. On, one of his numerous visits to the trenches during the war, he had a long conversation with an officer who, while engaged in cdmmanding a company of infantry for the moment, incidentally happened to be a deputy. After Clemenceau left the sector, a “poilu” stepped up to the captain and said: “Who is the civilian you were talk- ing to a minute ago, captain, it seems to me I've seen his picture some- where?" The captain was non-plussed. Was it possible that one of his soldiers did not know the “Tiger”? So he de- cided to have a little fun with the man. +*'He is.a rich and powerful Chinese mandarin,” the captain informed the goldier, “he dresses in the European | fashion so aw to visit the trenches without creating too much of a stir." “He might better raisé an army of |/ five or six million Chinese and come and give us a lift here against the Germans,” he replled the ‘“pollu” gruffly.
