CLEMENCEAU’S LIFE
ONE LONG ROMANCE
Continued from Page 1.
the pressure of the great German off
ensives of last spring to have a Gene
rallissimo.
Plotted Against Napoleon ill.
At 19 years of age, Clemenceau went
to Paris to study medecine. He was
soon taking part in revolutionary plots
against Napoleon III., and from a
printing press concealed in his apart
ment he poured forth a stream of anti
monarchical pamphlets. When he was
21 years old, he was caught and sent
to M?rs prison after which he came
the United States. He went to the
iront during the civil war as a sort of
war correspondent, and in an interview
In France recently he said that he was
the first civilian to enter Richmond
after its capture by Grant. He spent
many days studying at the Astor Li
brary in New York City.
One of the treasures of the New York
Public Library now is a copy of Cte
menceau’s thesis on anatomy, with the
writer's signature on the title-page,
dated "New York, Oct., 19, 1867."
He started to practice medicine in
New York City, but could not make
headway and through a friend Eugene
Eushe he obtained employment as a
teacher of literature with a Miss Aiken
proprietor of Miss Aiken’s Seminary
for young ladies at Stamford, Conn.
While at this post he traslated the
works of John Stuart Mill into French
and made painstaking researches in
American political history. He learned
to speak English like a native, an ac
complishment that proved a great con
venience for his intercourse with Pre
sident Wilson, who does not know
French.
Clemenceau fell in love with one of
his pupils, Miss Mary E. Plummer, the
daughter of a doctor at Springfield,
Mass. After her graduation he made a
trip to France to get the onsent of his
family, and then returned to this coun
try and married her. The marriage was
performed in the New York City Hall
I by Mayor Oakey Hall on June 23,1869
Twenty years later she divorced him.
They lived in New York until the Fran
co-Prussian war, when he returned to
France. He was in Paris through the
siege and became Mayor of the district
of Montmartre. He took part in the
overthrow of the monarchy.
From tnat lime rorin ms msiory
forms a huge section of the history of j
French politics. He opposed thej
French Colonial adventures. He played!
a great part in discrediting Boulanger
and his mock-heroic movement. He
advocated the separation of Church
and State. As a member of the Cham
ber he became the most powerful in
dividual in France until 1893, when
the suspicion that he was involved in
the exaggerated Panama scandals and
his opposition to the Russian Alliance
cut his popularity to pieces and led to
hi6 defeat for the Chamber, where he
had served continuously since 1876.
His personal honesty was vindicated,
but this did not save him from politi
cal eclipse,
He then devoted himself to journal
ism, urging a strong alliance with Eng
land, in place ojP the Russian agree
ment, which he opposed because he
did not wish the republic to be linked
with the backward autocracy. He
was a powerful champion of Dreyfus
during that long-drawn-out affair. In
1906 he became Premier, and excited
the enmity of the extreme labor ele
ment because of the vigor which he
displayed in using the military to
quell a strike of miners in the Pas ds
Calais Department, and because of
his break with the Socialist Party and
attack on Jean Jaures, its leader. Dur
ing 1907 and 1908 his premiership
was notable for cementing the En
tente with England and jtbr the vig
orous role of France in European poli
tics, despite difficulties with Germany
ai<d attacks by the French Socialists
and pacifists. He resigned on July 20,
1909, after a defeat in the Chamber
following a bitter discussion with M.
Delcasse on the state of the navy,
which Delcasse had been investigating
as head of a parliamentary commis
sion appointed for that purpose.
His Activity During the War
During the war -in his paper,
L’Homme Libre, whose^ name he
changed to L’Homme Enchaine be
cause of the censorship, he clamored
continuously for a strong Government!
that should be ruthless In dealing with I
internal troubles, in putting down pa
cifist and defeatist propaganda, in
putting all the resources of the coun
try into the war, and in eradicating
favoritism and incompetency from the
army and munitions production. He
declined Cabinet posts in order to
keep his freedom of criticism.
During this period he was a critic of
President Wilson, commenting sarcas
tically on the American notes, attack
ing the birthday congratulations which
President Wilson sent to the Kaiser,
continually describing him as "a law-j
yer” and expressing unbounded ad
miration J.k>r Theodoris '“ Roosevelt, j
When immediately after the entrance;
of this country into the war, Colonel!
Roosevelt was meeting with opposi-j
tlon in Washington in his plan to take
a division of volunteers abroad, Clem
enceau printed in L’Homme Enchaine
in the form of a letter to President
Wilson a long appeal for him to send
Roosevelt to France, inf which he
said:
“Allow mo to say, in all candor,
that at the present moment there is in
France one name which sums up the
beauty of American intervention. It is
the name Roosevelt, your predecessor,
even your rival, but with whom there
can be npw no other rivalry than
heartening success.”
Clemenceau became Premier in No
vember, 1917. In additions to his vigor
ous administration of France, he en-<
deared himself to the French by hisj
intrepidity in constantly visiting the
front and exposing himselMo shellfire.
When the war was won and the armi
stice signed, he was the object of a
tremendous demonstration at the
Chamber, which demanded an address j
from him. He said:
“What had I to do with victory. Itj
was the poilu.”
In the negotiations since then M.
Clemenceau has had one great object,
the absolute assurance of future se
curity to France. Taking a position1
squarely in opposition to President
Wilson, he declared in favor of an al
liance restricted to the Allies, with
common interest and sympathies,
whose power would be great enough to
prevent any future menace from Ger
many or Russia. Giving some ground;
he sought to harmonize his plan and
that of President Wilson by {favoring
a League of Nations which should'
have a military force on the ground
in France sufficient to deal with Ger
many at any future date. This pro
oosal, however, found no place in the
tentative charter of the League. —
