CLEMENCEAU GIVEN
WELCOME BY BOSTON
Boston, Nov. 24.—Georges Clemen-
coau, the Tiger of France, yesterday
stood in Massachusetts historic Hall
of Flags and cried out to America that
the could not desert (her war as
sociates.
'You are prisoners of your own
nobleness,” he declared. “You must
rerqain what you are.”
The aged war premier of France
arrived yesterday to find the warmest
■ceptlon he has been accorded since
he landed at New York last Satur.
:iay. He delivered two half-hour ad
dresses. He spoke first in City Hall
nfter he had 1)een welcomed by
Mayor Curley and had been presented
huge silk flag of France and a gold
medal inscribed “The Tiger.” He
spoke again in the Hall of Flags at
the state house, where Gov. 'Cox
introduced him.
Both the addresses were impassion
ed pleas for America to align herself
again with France.
Boston turned out everything it
possessed in the way of military dis
play to emphasize her welcome to the | construction of main highi
famous war figure.
Majoy General Clarence R. Ed
wards, commandant of the first army
orps area, was among the party of
notables, led by Lieut. Gov. Fuller,
which met him in the station,
double lane of national guardsmen
kept the path open 'for hi
street.
Outside had been massed fighting
en of every sort that the city could
muster. There were cavalrymen, ar
tillerymen, marines, blue jackets and
policemen.
Up Boston’s winding streets the ca
valcade moved, through streets lined
with cheering crowds. Ticker tape
and confetti rained down
through French and American flags
In the financial district. After
ceremonies at city hall, Clemenceau
icorted to the atate house.
Entering he paused several moments
before a statue of Washington.
Beneath the high dome of the Hall
of Flags, the Tiger’s first greeting
went to a blinded son of his native
France. The ‘‘blue devil” whi
his sight in the great drive of 1915—
was Private Guy Endin,
itudent at Harvard. The Tiger spied
Tim as he was led forward, his breast
resplendent with the Croix de Guerre
the Medaille Militalre and the deco
ration of the Legion of Honor, and
stepped quickly to embrace him.
He spoke emotionally to him in
French for sevenfl minutes ^before
Gov. Cov could start his speech of
introduction.
From the state house, again rid
ing through cheering crowds and
paraded troops, the Tiger drove
through the Back Bay section to the
public library where were nearly a
thousand school children singing the
Marseillaise i n French. The Tiger
alighted for a moment so that he and
the children could see each other
better. Then he was driven to the
home of F. L. Higginson, Jr., nearby,
where he will stay while in Boston.
An hour later he was In bed, resting
up for his second formal address,
which he is to deliver at 4 o’clock
this afternoon in Tremont Temple.
Col. Stephen Bonsai, who is con
ducting the tour, refused to let him
be interviewed o’n the criticisms
launched at him from the floor of

There are now 1.000 miles of pel

'Modern Constantinople is forg<

tend for five miles across the isth-

PLANTING THE TREES ON ARBOR DAY
(By J. G. Woodruff, Asst. Horticulturist, Georgs Experiment Station)
December 1st Is the day set for
the annual planting of trees In the
state of Georgia; for this reason it
Is called Arbor day. Arbor day was
first observed In 1865; and was start
ed as an annual custoih In tbe state
of Nebraska in 1874. By 1890 thirty-
states had adopted it. Now prac
tically every state and territory In
the United States celebrate it;
as legal holiday, and others
school holiday. The exact date vari
es; in the south It Is in early winter;
In the middle states late winter; and
In the north it is early spring.
The observance of this day is in
:ord with the enactment of the legls-
ature. and Is celebrated by public-
ninded, nature-loving people; espec
ially the women’s organizations and
I teachers and children, often
with ceremonies.
From the earliest times it has been

ed him to abandon the idea. They are
protection in the time of cold, in the
timeof heat, in the tfmeof drouth, and
also in the time of flood.
But bow many of our people really
know how to select and plant a tree
with the assurance that It will fur

after planting, and the longer the
time before it will make much shade.
Dig the tree with as large root-sys
tem as practicable, letting as many of
the small roots remain as possible.

by breaking, splitting or knocking the
bark off, and of course never let them
become dry. The hole should be big
enough to let the tree set two Inches

without bending or twisting the

roots keep their natural position with

RATTLESNAKES GROW
WILD NEAR CHICAGO
Chicago, Nov. 9.—The oft-debated
question of whether rattlesnakes grow
wild in the vicinity of Chicago has
been settled by Dr. Frank M. Wood

acquisition of a specimen captured this
summer in the sand dunes at Miller
Beach, near Gary, Ind.
The rattler, a three-foot female with
■lx rattlers and a button, belongs
the prairie type, or Crotalus Confluen-
tus. Shortly after reaching the mu-
she gave birth to seven young
snakes. Two died, one escaped, and
