Up as the dawn’s icy blasts swept in from Lake Michigan and most of if be no turkey dinner for | the city sleeping, Clemenceau was at beara? city jail this / work, polishing off the potion he will invite America to take for its own good, and “the peace of the sorl4.” In his black skull cap and dress ing gown he was not unlike a chem- iat, working with stubby fountain pen instead of pestie and mortar. Two reasons are assigned for the ‘Tiger's determination to make today’s | speech stronger than any he yet has delivered: 1. It may be, his friends say, that he feels his message, that message from his heart which he came personally at the age of #1 to deliver, is not “getting 2. Or it may be the reaction of a fighter to the suggestion of his friends, voiced on all sides, that he “ease up” and sugar-coat his pills. Whatever the reason, Clemenceau | is a statesman, as he was a physician of the old school, “Treat ‘em rough,” he once sald, laughingly, and now he is going to put it into practice. There has been, of course, a light- er side to the Tiger's reception in the | ents, subsequent to that of Carl 8.| ample, homely, hospitable bosom of the “Windy city.” The city that was but half a century ago, paid homage to its distinguished guest today Chicago, in the Tiger's own words, | » has grown beyond all recognition since those days in the "60s, when |young Clemenceau stood on its threshold, but, then, so has the Tiger.

The Tiger has remained ada- mant on this point, that his message must ring clear; he has his claws unsheathed for battle; woft such as a great, friend- ly, jovial tiger might deliver, have no part in his scheme of things, despite sincere counsel- ling of friends.
