After a life-time of vicissitudes, j Clemenceau once declared: "I am .ounger now than I was ten years go." He said this even while carrying in his body the bullet of an assassin, and while suffering from a broken * >.ib sustained while crossing the English channel. Explaining his remark, the former Premier declared: "Idleness and old age are twin sisters. I avoid them. The way to keep young and vigorous & never to let ycur mind grow inacItive and to work, work, work. Preserve strength of mind and you van quisn age; tbat is the secret of perpeual youth. "I believe it is weak-minded to grow old," he told certain members of his suite after his famous anti-Bolshevik speech in Strasbourg in 1919. Clemenceau's day had been a hard one, * with many receptions, journeys and discussions of serious diplomatic questions but he appeared at dinner that night fresher than many of his young colleagues. It was some time before this while be was on one of his customary jaunts into the country, when he walked 10 or 12 miles without showing very great fatigue, that he discovered his now famous retreat, a two-roomed fisherman's hut close to the seashore, near Ducan, in Vendee. Bare of comforts and conveniences it is just the kind of a shelter the "Tiger" of France would seek for a well-earned rest. It is only a short distance from the former Premier's birthplace and rtands almost alone on the barren ands. Often he walks to the village where he converses with the old town folk, a few of whom knew him as a boy. Clemenceau'9 rigorous life was continued even after he accepted President Poincare's invitation to form a war ministry in 1917, when for the second time be became nremier of France. In civil life he arose with the birds and retired often at sunset. A glass of milk and a few crackers was his usual repast at 3 a. m., in summer and 4:30 o'clock in winter. An hour or two later he sat down to a hearty breakfast, the main portion of which was generally a dish of macaroni and rheese with melted butter. Aboul 12:30 p. m., he indulged in luncheon a simple meal of a couple of eggs, perhaps, and a few vegetables. Dinnei at 7 p. m. was practically meatless consisting largely of vegetables mnc fruits. He eats very slowly. During the war the pressure of affairs of state often forced him tc alter his sleeping habit and there were occasions when, for two and three nays at a time, the aged premier and minister of war never removed bis ? clothing, buf caught mere snatches oi i rest of a few minutes' duraton on a ' lounge in his office. In peacetime, \ however, Clemenceau has a less strenIi ous program. In summer, as soon as he arises, he takes to his garden in Ihe rear of his town apartment, ini pjcting the flower beds and the ? -hrubbery and trees, pruning off dead [ branches and pulling weeds. He thus f finds rest from the turmoil of politics [ ind the cares of office. Clemenceau, it is not generally known, was formerly a physician. He came to New York in 1866 but abandoned the practice of medicine to teach school at Stamford, Conn. He married an American girl in 1869 M iss Mary Plummer, of New York, and returned to France a few years later. ' He entered the French National Assembly in 1871, became president of the municipal council of Paris in 1875, and was elected to he Chamber /,# 11nrv.il I 1 0-7/? 1 ? * nnn 1. 1 - I sa iscj;ui/iva III lOIU. Ill lOO I HC QCclined an invitation of the president [ of France to form a ministry. In the general wreck of French politicians caused by the Panama scandal of 1892, he failed of reelection to the Chamber, but in 1902 he was sent to the Senate. Meanwhile he had fought !six or seven duels and had won fame is a vitriolic writer. From 1906 to I 1909 he was premier. He was an anti-Clerical and fought for the separation of church and sate. tHe led several political fights which results in the downfall of as many ministeries. In 1914, at the beginning of the war, he established in Paris L'Homme Libre, a paper so bitterly anti-administration that it was suppressed. Soon after it reappeared in Bordeaux under the name of L'Homme Enchaine. Clemenceau refused to be silenced in exposing government abuses growing out of the war. When the Bolo Pasha and Caillaux revelations awakened Pranrp fn Hor nnril 1???? - - ? ? |/va ?*| i VTVmviUlIO 101 ^C!y brought about by Clemenceau, the "Tiger's" popluarity became nationwide. President Poincare called upon the veteran statesman in November, 1P17, when all France was depressed by the defeatist propaganda and her troops werts suffering sorely in the f-cld, to head a new war ministry. Interpellated in the Chamber of Deputies as to what his "far aim" would be, he white-haired premier replied: "My aim is to be a victor." He expressed at this time his opposition to receiving Germany into any society of nations which mght be formed after the war, and declared: "Men of great mnds beleve that words have the power to liberate. The x I / _ i t . 3 . word light. the jmd 'JosHce', the } word Uber^^fciteyrorde as old as rscle will SuddenlyAend the War and ? t roduce a society d|nations. 1 do r.ot believe it. 1 am In far action. I cannot sea tfcatas&e ity of nations as | ^ the necessary soncltsion of tha pres. 0 ent war." Later, ihowsver, he approved of tha Lsagaa of Nations' covenant. I ; / Speaking in the French senate in <917 he decla&ff: "We will flght until the hour1 when the enemy comes to understand that, bargaining between crime and right is no longer possible. W e want a juat and strong peace, protecting tha future against the abominations of tbe pastl*' "We have wpited 49 years for this mcment," he was quoted as saying on June 25. 1919. when the German note mcepting the Treaty .of Peace was received at Versailles. "This is life's tiggest moment for me." When the turn of the tide came in the West, when the last German "drivcf had spent itself and the Allies were breaking the Hindenburg line, he said: v"The day of glory has come! Our sons are completing the A..I. iU-1- #_ *1 J a iviiiuumuu; wtMi ui wicir lavuers will i with brotherly-nations are securing a f ! supreme victory. All right-minded 1 numanity is with our troops who are ' liberating the world from the fury of i j an evil force." < Shot by the 19-year-old anarchist, J . Emile Cotton, on Feb. 2, 1919, Clem- ' | cnceau joked with the doctor who at- ( tended him. "The anarchists hunted ] j the 'tiger' but they missed Jiim," he i | remarked. Cotton was sentenced to ] l death, but Clemenceau urged commu- t , tation and the youth received 10 1 t years' imprisonment. When President { I Wilson called to express his sympathy the aged statesman told him his t ' "hide" was "too thick for a bullet to { , pierce." ? t > Upon the completion of the draft of j I the Peace Treaty by the Supreme In- j ter-Allied conference, Clemenceau, ( I who had presided at the historical gathering, bade his colleagues adieu c , with the observation: "I have done ^ my best. I think it is a good peace."- ^ Although a radical in French poli- t \tics, Clemenceau had no use for Bolshevism. Questioned about the Rus- t sian situation in December of 1919 he f said: "We not only will not make t , peace, but we will not compromise > with the government of the Soviets. , We have decided that we will be the ^ allies of all peoples attacked by Bol- f shevism." He at the same time ex- ^ . pressed his confidence in the Anglo- r . Franco-American agreements and ' . predicted a solution of the Fiume . problem. I "The Fiume question has been ago- t . nizing," he declared. "Italy promised I'iume to the Jugo-Slavs but went j ' back on her promise. France, Eng. land and the United States have 1 sought a solution and the latest indi- j I cations are that it will be reached. . ' Only when, this is accomplished can we begin to breathe freely." j t Clemenceau's address at Strasburg , in November of 1919, referred to at , the time as "his political valedictory I to France," was a remarkable plea for , universal tolerance and social justice. > Among its most striking passages were: "The world's only salvation from the social and economic chaos from j which it is now emerging is work." "Government must be based upon public order and the respect of indi- r vidual rights." "Let us all work for the grandeour and glory of France. Let us all stand r r.rtn and united for the welfare of mankind." r , m ' v SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS * LOST?A brown and white collie dog; answers to the name of "Peggy." ^ Had on collar with J. D.
