CHaXE 2157 in the first NUMBER FOUR (Continued from Page One) review the 106th infantry regiment. Crossing Manhattan bridge, the Tiger's car mur"ed at once into 4 lane of w ildiy cheering school children—many of thém garbed in picturesque garments, most of them’ waving French or American flags, and all of them cheering and crying “Vive Le Tigre” and “Vive La France.” The"children, whosé number was esti- mated as high as 350,000, lined both sides of the street for nearly five miles—all the Way to the armory. Clemenccau, visibly moved, kept waving his gray feit hat and bowing, and ex— claiming to hijs escorts “Leés Petites Gosses” (the little goslings)—a Feench expression of affection. The 106th armory, which seats about 10,000, was packed. and the Tiger was given a long ovation as he walked slowly in review before the massed troops. After he had placed a wreath on the tablet commemorsiing the regiment's| tdead, Clemenceau faced the uniformed men and addressed them “as a man of action to men of action.” Praising their work in France, which he said he had good cause to réemember, the Tiger declared: “All that remains for you now is to! be as great in peace as you were in war. I will remain until mg last breath a great admirer of the United States. And I wi always remember that behind the citizens titere are #Aways the “Soldiers—magnifi- cent soldjers.” Although it was his day of greatest ions, there cdme to the Tiger, too, ! evidences that his tour was hot to be| wholly over a path of roses. The threat- ening letter, sharp criticisms from Sen- ator orah and others in official Wash- ingten, and adverse newspaper comment on his revival of the French plea for a triple alljance, seemed, however, merely to stir ‘the $1 year lold statesman to greater animation. No specific comment on the ariticlsm was obtainable from him, but he defend- ed himself against them in the opening of his chambeér of commerce address. “Men have beén too rguch criticized, and may be over-prajsed, t0o,” he said. “I think that is my case. Very often they ascribe to me too much "{l], and sometimes too much zood. I don’t believe 1 bave oregted a creat deal of ill—cer- tainly not ‘to-linger. - A great deal of goad. I dare not say.” Throughout his zddress he sandwiched to | caustic comment on America and her! post-war attitude with ~expressions of {riendship and admijration for the cotintry a.nd her people. e told his auditors. for. example, that they, With the rest of America, were “not as well informed as they ought to be.” When' they. came to France, hé said; they iline. Jason P. Lathrop, Mr. and Mrs, icmmmxed to talk shop, or to chatter about Fifth avenue and Broadway. Then he robbed the remark of its sting by advising thém to ask any Amertan soldier who bad met a Fréncl girl how easy and pleasant it was td learn French and the ways of Francs. The suggestion . brought a burst ofelaughter and ap- Dplause. Immediately after he had charged America with leaving France “in the lurch” he set the hall reverbérating with appliuse when, with a great flashing ‘of eyes, he declared, “we have to détend ‘out. frontier, and we will defend it.” Closing his speech, he declated he al- ready felt ‘his self4imposed “missldn “to Amerjca Was a succéss. “If I were to g0 home tomorrow,” he said. “I would tell my!'friends: “Be I don’t know how they will do it, but be sure the Yankées will do it once mere’.” Cohmsl E.
