“Tiger of France’ Tells Secret of Eternal Youth and Success
TREATY KILLED BY RESERVATIONS, IS BELIEF
(By Universal Service Staff Corre
spondent.)
(Copyright, 1919, by Universal Serv
ice.)
PARIS, Nov. 15.—" Yes, I have dis
covered the fountain of youth,” re
marked Georges Clemenceau, the
ever-young “Tiger” of France, to &
group of admiring friends immediate
ly after his speech at Strassbourg,
w*ich, following a hard day's of re
ceptions, excursions and weighty dis
cussions of state affairs, left the
premier fresher and -stronger than
any of his suite.
From one of those who were in
that group Universal Service today
obtained exclusively the first story
of what the “young man of France”
had to say on the secret of perpetual
youth.
“The secret is simple,” sald he.
“Never let Your brain grow inactive,
and you will keep young forever.
“I am younger today than I was
ten’ years ago, because I have worked
hard and never have been idle. Idle
ness and old age go hand-inhand.
“My policy is to let my enemies
grow old firgt, because I firmly be
lieve it is the weak minded that grow
old, and that, therefore, sufficient
strength of mind must be preserved
to vanquish age.”
PREMIER TIRELESS.
His intimates have long been mar
veling at the tremendous vitality and
activity of the premier, who is con
sidered by the medical profession one
of the greatest living wonders of the
age. The thing that astonishes every
one most is that M. Clemenceau never
shows even any signs of effort when
those of his entourage must give up
and rest.
Throughout the last two years this
octonegarian statesman has con
ducted the political affairs of France.
At the same time, prior té the armis
tice, he, time and again, insisted upon
visiting the center spots of the hot
test fighting and when that was over
he would tramp miles upon miles
through muddv fields to encourage
ugees in the devastated districts.
When joui.auiows wied to talk to
him about his health and physical
strength he would smile and say: “Do
as I do; work!"”
Whatever may be the miraculous
formula by which he has kept his
mind so keen and clear, as to the
remarkable elasticity, strength and
freshness of his physical powers it
{8 an unquestionable fact that Clems
enceau is the strictest “simple life"”
disciple in Europe. Whea he assum
ed the highest governmental office
in the republic, he refused to change
his mode of living, put insisted upon
continuing the rules he had observed
for two score years as a journalist
and deputy.
The gilded halls of his official resi
dence in Paris hold no attraction for
him. The rent he pays for his apart
ment in the Rue de Franklin in a
Paris suburb is less than $5,400 a year
at the present exchange rate, There
he is surrounded'by the same old
fashioned furniture, strongly remini
scent of the Victorian period, that he
had when a private citizen, and at
tended by the same old woman ser
vant he had decades ago.
EATS ONLY VEGETABLES.
This “strong young man of France”
rvises with the birds and retires with
sundown. His strictly vegetarian diet
is the despair of his old cook, who

dishes are monotonously repeated day
after day. .
Upon rising—at 3 in summer and
at 4:30 in winter—in the morning he
takes a large glass of milk.
An hour or so later he pitches into
his breakfast which usually consists
of maccaroni in melted butter, with
a generous layer of cheese.
At 12:30 p. m. he eats a couple of
eggs and various dishes of vegeta
bles.
His dinner he eats never later than
7 p. m., and it, too, oonsists chiefly
of vegetables and fruits.
The premier insists upon going to
bed before 9 o'clock in summer and
earlier in winter, unless extraordi
nu.y state affairs require him to be
up late, as was often the case during
the war, when at times he would not
shed his cloties for three days and
three nights in succession. .
As soon as he is up in the morn
ing he takes a stroll in the garden
at the rear of his apartment, inspect
ing the flower beds and trees, puli
ing out weeds and clipping decayed
branches. He enjoys bucolic pleas
ures like a true country gentleman.
After a good half hour in the gar
den—during which he s still in his
carpet slippers, black dressing gown
and silk skull cap—he returns to his
tiny studio and plunges into his work
until maccaroni time.
“TIGER” IS A MODERN.
After that modest meal he dresses
quickly and, with the vigor of a 20-
year-old, leaps into the speedster
waiting for him outside and rushes
to the ministry where he works till
12:25 p. m., when another powerful
machine takes him back to his apart
ment for his noon repast. Despite
the pressure of work and his restless
energy he makes it a point to eat
slcwly, He believes in “fletcheriz
ing.”
This routine has never been inter
rupted except for a few days after
the attempt tp assassinate him. Mira
culously enough, though all France
had virtually given up hope for his
recovery, he was back in full har
ness within two weeks and the bullet

wounds haven't left the slightest
trace on his powerful physical en
ergy.
Despite his age there {s nothing
old-fashioned about the “Tiger.,” He
is a modern man in the true sense
of the word, He was quick to adopt
the automobile, and he likes to speed
like any young sportsman.
His driver could not go fast enough
for him from the ministry to his
apartment, owing to the bad condi
tion of the road. The premier drew
the attention of the municipal au
thorities to this, and the road was re
paired while he went to Strassbourg.
Now at luncheon time, that road is
kept clear, go that France's ruler
loses the minimum number of min
utes on his way back and forth,
Despite the many criticismsg his
enemies level upon him, Clemenceau
is a perfect gpecimen of a strong, up
right man who has the courage of his
convictions and opinions and the
strength to apply to himself the
theories which he would like to see
every man adopt,
That is the real reason for his sue
cess and his popularity, which seems
inexhaustible, and for his perpetual
yogth which makes him the wonder
and the idol of France.

Strong State laws to support the

greater forces than the United States
government for detecting and pun

‘ WASHINGTON, Nov. 16—The
s!)‘eaty with Germany apparently is
|dead so far as its ratificatlon by the
| United States is concerned.
{ This is the opinion held by lead-
Ilng secnators of both parties as the
1
|result of Saturday's actlon by the
| Senate in adopting all of the princi
'pal reservations on the Lodge pro
gram.
It is anticipated that cne of the
first acts of the regular session of
Congress, which opens December 1,
will be to declare peace by a con
current resolution, which can be
made effective without the signature
of the President.
There i{s a chance that the concur
rent resolution may even be put
through at this session. This possi
bility presented itself in the action
of the Senate in refusing to consent
to an adjournment of the House. The
reason, House leaders were told, 1s
| that the treaty is certain to fall and
in that event it is desired to lose no
time in passing a resolution declar
ing peace, in which the concurring
vote of the House is necessary.
I Senator Lodge announced at the
end of the eventful session {ud.iy that
in his judgment the treaty can not
1 be ratified.
TO REJECT RATIFICATION.
It is expected that the resolution
of ratification containing the Lodge
reservations will be rejected by =a
combination of Democratic and Re
publican voies, Senator Underwood
of Alabama officially notified Repub
ican senators today that at least
thirty Democrats will oppose the res
olution. There are at least fifteen
on the Republican side who are will
ing to join them to defeat the treaty.
It is certain that the majority com
‘bination of Republicans and Demo
crats which put the reservations
through will stand unbroken to®the
end and will not permit ratification
‘without these reservations. Any at
tempt that may be made by the ad
ministration forces to ratify the
treaty with milder reservations will
be defeated.
Senator Lodge was asked at the
end of the eventful session of the
Senate in which the majority of the
reservations were adopted whether ir
bis judgment a sufficient number of
senators on the Democratic slde
would vute against the resolution of
ratification because of the Lodge res
ervations.
TREATY DEAD, BELIEF.
He replied: “I think unquestionably
they will”
“Then the treaty is dead?”
“Undoubtedly.” |
Senator Lodge went on to say that
the reservations are on “and will stay
on.” He declarcd that nothLing can be
done by the Democrats to bring about
ratification by any other set of reg
ervations,
The final vote on ratification is
looked for Tuesday or Wednes
day. Consideration of the remalning
reservations on the committee pro
gram will be finished probably Mon
day and attention will be given to
other reservations proposed by indi
vidual senators. Among these are
two of considerable importance,
which Senator Lodge belleves will be
adopted.
One of these is the reservation to
exempt the United States from giv
ing sanction to the labor clauses in
the treaty, and the other is to correct
the inequality of voting in the leagua
council by which the British Empire
gets six votes an d the United States
one,
EXPEQTS BOTH TO PASS.
Senator Lodge says he has every
reason to believe that both of these
will be added to the list, ;

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.—Coal miners
of the country, Illinois la particulars
did not go back to work when the
strike order was rescinded because of
politics in the miners’ union, accord=
ing to a prominent Chicago operator,
He described the trouble as due to &
factional fight between Frank Fars
rington, president of the Illinois or
ganization, and John L. Lewis, acting
international president, .
The operator told an Interesting
story of “inside” politics but said he
would not permit his name to be
used because “complications” would
follow its publication,
“From the moment Frank Farring~
ton, president of the Illinois distriet,
came back from the Indianapolis
meeting and announoced that in his
judgment the miners of Illinois
would not go back to work,” sald
this operator, “it became plain that
he was playing for the support of the
¢issatisfled -element in the miners®

HEADS SCALE COMMITTEE.
“Farrington is chairman of the
wage scale committee. Many of the
demands presented by Lewis were
advocated by him as early as last
spring. I refer particularly to the
30-hour werek,
“During the unauthorized strikes in
the WBelleville district, Farrington
went among the miners telling them
that the whole thing would be thresh
ed out In a nation-wide walkout on
November 1. That was in August.
The six-hour day was cne of his
strongest arguments for peace,
“Now Lewis has ben forced to give
in to the federal authorities and the
majority of the miners, no matter
what their daubts about the wisdom
of the walkout, are highly indignant
because he did.
“Farrington, by his action, 1s doing
his best to unite the malcontents
behind him.
SEEKS PRESIDENCY,
“l predict that when the fight for
the presidency of the miners’' union
is wagen the Illinols State president
will make his principal plea for sup
port on the manner in which his or
ganization adhered to the original
demands, despite the revocation or
'der, until the wage conference now
in Washington rendered its decision.”
This analysis of the situation was
pronounced correct by Andrew T,
Murphey, publisher of the Black Dia~
mond.
“Farrington is playing politics.” as
‘serted Mr, Murphey. ‘Ther is abso
lutely no doubt about it. This 4s the
climax of his fight for control.”

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—~With
coal miners and operators fighting
like bear-cats every foot of the way,
neither gide apparently in a mood to
vield an inch until forced to do so,
the prediction is nevertheless made
here that the chances of an agree
ment at a comparatively eariy date
are regarded as good,
It is believed that neither side is
prepared to brave public opinion and
take the blame for a failure of the
conference.
So it was that after shaking im
passioned fingers at each other all
morning and coming, at one time
during a fiery debate, previous near
to wrecking the whole show by their
wrangling, the two sides to the con
