Clemenceau 'and the committee which had gone down the bay wel come him started up Broadway for his official reception at the city hall. The aged statesman was carrying a red rose in one hand when, he began his trip up the great canyon. Girls in office buildings leaned from win dows and blew kisses to him. The Tiger replied by waving the rose in a courtly manner.

He was wearing a gray cutaway Coat with a gray fedora. The committee did not board the Paris as quickly as it expected be cause the Maseom forgot to bring boarding ladders. Soon, however, an other municipal craft, the Manhat tan, arrived properly equipped and slipped in between the Macom and the Paris. The committee then stepped aboard while Clemenceau observed their difficulties with the curiosity of a child. Escorted to the great saloon by the captain of the Paris, the commit tee was presented to M. Clemenceau by' J. J. Jusserand, French ambassa dor to the United States, "Robert Woods Bliss, assistant sec retyay of state, welcomed the former premier to America in behalf of Pres ident Harding and invited him to visit {he’ President at Washington. Clem enceau accepted, expressing his de light. Complimented by the committee on the healthy appearance lie presented, M. Clemenceau replied lightly: “I am growing, younger every day. In fifty years I think I’ll be a baby.” Robert. Condon,, a member of the national executive committee of the American, Legion, then welcomed the former premier as “a man who more than any other exemplifies the spirit in which we carried on the war.” Shaking hands, the Tiger replied: “You’re the man I like to see. It’s th ft thoughts" of your men that, count’’ Making ready - to leave the Paris, M. Clemenceau called excitedly to his valet, Albert, who was going to the dock with the baggage, to be sure and see that it was landed safely. THOS.
