RESULT ACCLAIMED.
FAREWELL SCENES
(Received January 22, 10.30 a.m.) PARIS, January 18. The consensus of opinion is that M
Deschanel's election is of a really representative character. The majority, of the newspapers express satisfaction with'the ..result. Some circles propose to make 3|. Clemenceau a life Senator, and others suggest presenting him With a large estate and castle. l
M. Poincare, after conferring with M. Desehanel ami M. Bourgeois, commissioned M. Millerand'to form a Cabinet.
M. Clemenceau will no longer be able to represent France at the Peace Conference. He says that he is going to Egypt in a \'aw days and will remain there for two mouths. His departure will probably entail the break-up of the secret conferences of the Council of Throe. It is expected that Mr. Lloyd George, and the British Mission will soon return to London and not return until the nn!:-: —' ''■"-<■ > in Frtince is
cleared up. It is thought that the Fiume and Turkish problems, and other grave matters are still undecided.
There was a moving scene at the Elysee when M. Clemenceau handed his resignation to M. Poincare. The latter thanked the "Tiger" for his great services, t , ' . He said:—"You galvanised the energies of the country in the difficult hours, and your tireless tenacity made the final victory possible."
