TIGER” EXPECTED TO SHOW MENAGE |- IN NEW ALLIANCE ates Clemenceau Will Attack Ger- man “Bad Faith” and Desertion by U. S. BEGINS TO FE . STRAIN Will Give Hour and a Half Message to America To-Night. By Ferdinand Touhy. Clemenceau spent the morning and afternoon fighting off would-be interviewers in the Charles Dana Gib- son home in Hast 73d Street. The hall was packed with callers, inclid- ing many French women, and al! with varying requests, such as appeals for charities or for signatures on photo- early graphs. The “Tiger’’ was, however, almost unapproachable and sat up- stairs alone preparing the notes for to-night’s speech. He told me he had slept his usual five hours, and though he was looking thinner and slightly more tired than on board ship, he said he was all veady for the fray. He expects to talk for an hour and a half, and, acting on advice, he has decided to delete from his speech « long tale of figures und statistics proving Germany's lack of good faith in connection with the treaty, He will, however, head these later, prob- ably at Boston. ‘To-night he intends talking practi- cally extemporandously. He looks upon it as the second greatest mo= ment of his life, preference being given to his oration in the Chamber of Deputies four years ago announcing victory. He intends stressing heavily what he considers to be the advent of a new triple alliance aimed against the Allied and associated powers and con- sisting of Kemalist Turkey, the actionary Germany of Ludendorf, and Russia of the Soviets, Drawn to- gether in common adversity these powers, in Clemenceau's eyes, consti- tute the gravest menace of th mo- ment It is likely that his reference to the new-forming Triple Alliance will be one of the cornerstones of the speech, the others being a flat showing-up of Loyd George trickery and the failure on the part of the United Stat to provide France with a guarantee against German aggression, But no one knows just what the ‘Tiger’ will say, not even himself. Thus, he was profoundly interested when I told him of the Italian Prime Minister's extra- res ordinary stand against France and England at Lausanne. “T never read the papers,’ said (Continued on Second Page.)

GIBSON STINGING REBUKE HARDING GIVES ULTIMATUM TO CONGRESS ON SHIP SUBSIDY FOR LIQUOR JURY BY DGE FOSTER Orders Dismissal Over Letter Criticising Day and Parsons. ‘VIOLATED THEIR DUTY’ Rules Their Indictments Savor of Prejudice in Censure of Foreman. Never in the history of the Federal Courts of this district has a Grand Jury been subjected to such a scathing denunciation as Judge Rufus Foster administered to the Grand Jury in- vestigating Prohibition scandals In the Criminal Branch of the United States District Court to-day. At the close of a fifteen-minute Idbture he summarily @ismissed the jury, but reconsidered at the request of Assistant District Attorney Clarke and ordered that any indictments which have been found or will be found shall be reported to him at 11 o'clock Thursday morning, when the dismissal will take effect. A sensational feature of the attack of the Judge was his statement that ittdietments that may be handed up will carry a taint of prejudice. In the judgment of veteran practitioners in the Federal Courts this means that ten weeks’ work of the Prohibition Grand Jury has been practically nulli- fied because the defence has already been furnished by the court with @ motive to move for the dismissal of y indictment on the ground that it found by a prejudiced body The offence committed the Grand Jury, of which W. de 8.

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL PLACED SQUARELY BEFORE CONGRESS Pleads With moenteciesd Must Either Pass Act Salvag- ing Fleet or Take Respon- sibility for Destruction, By David Lawrence. (Special Correspondent of The Eve- ning World.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 (Copy- right).—President Harding to-da placed squarely before Congress an ultimatum—either pass the bill sal- vaging the American merchant fleet from further loss or take the respon- sibility of a destructive alternative. The message of the President is ‘raught with the most dangerous con- sequences to the Republican Party. The party must stand by its leader or wreck the Administration's chances of succeeding itself. Mr. Harding |s fully aware of the hostility of members of the Republi- can Party from the Middle West to the ship subsidy program. Courage- ously he has chosen to fight. And the bombardment of facts which the President has started will not end with a mere message, It will \e fol- lowed by personal conferences in a heart-to-heart appeal to stand by the President, by the Administration and by the principle of a united Republi- can Party. Insurgents there are. Prejudices are numerous. But against them all the President arrays the facts. Discreetly Mr. Harding attacks the weakness of the situation, the name of the legislation ‘ship subsidy.” He tries to convert this weakness due to prejudice into a point of strength. He argues that Government appro- priations for good roads are a sub- sidy, the War Finance Corporation granted subsidies, the money spent for inland waterway improvement Is a subsidy, and so on with dozens of other expenditures ‘which appear to benefit. a class but on behalf of which It is claimed that ultimately the whole country benefits Mr. Harding, it I conceded in Washington, made out {n his message the strongest case for his bill that might have been made, He epitomized nd emphasized all the arguments which for nearly a year have envel- yped the project of Government aid to shipping. But the keynote which will be taken up by his party asso- clates was the idea of reducing Gov ernment = expenditu the idea of economy rather than further spend- ng The President contends that the Government is spending $50,000,000 1 year and wearing out its own ships, He proposed the new legislation that the Government spend not more than $20,000,000, an economy of $20, (Continued on Second Page.) ‘HowAreMy Wives?’ Radios Sultan; Finds All Are Well and Happy’ ewest Favorite, Daughter of Circassian Gardener, Goes Back Home to Mother After His Flight.

' Members to Forget Local Politics and Remember That Subsidy Is Vital to All Parts of Land — Commercial Supremacy Affects All, and Measure Is for Economy. WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—In a fighting message President Harding to- day dared the foes of the Administration Ship Subsidy Bill to assume the responsibility for defeating it. Declaring that no proposition placed before Congress ever met “a more resolute hostility,” the President, in a message delivered in persou to the extraordinary session of Congress, challenged his opponents to meet . the issue fairly. The President devoted virtually all of his message to a vigorous ad- vocacy of the subsidy, mentioning only one other national problem—addi- tional relief for agriculture, This and other questions will be dealt with in his message to the regular sesston, which will meet on Dee, 4. “This problem cannot longer be ignored,” said Mr. Harding. “Its at- tempted solution cannot longer be postponed. The failure of Congress to act decisively will be no less disastrous than adverse action.” Carrying the fight with aggressiveness to the enemy’s camp, Mr. Hard- ing said he challenged “every insinuation of favored interests and the en- richment of the special few at the expense of the public Treasury.
