M. CLEMENCEAU
87th BIRTHDAY “CELEBRATION.”
(Australian Press Association.) (By Cable—Press Assn.—Copyright-)
PARIS, September 29
“The Tiger,” M. Clemenceau, a man of iron vigour, is showing signs of his 87 years. He is getting thin and stooped. Celebrating his birthday at Venice, M. Clemenceau made his usual pilgrimage to his future grave, which is a mere yawning, neglected hole, in which his father was buried years ago. His father stipulated that nobody should interfere with the work of nature, so the grave is now fringed with a tangle of weeds. Nearby is an old fisherman’s hut, in which M. Clemenceau spends his holidays, behind a ring of barbed wire, erected to exclude tourists.
Au American camera girl yesterday risked the entanglements, in which she became hopelessly mixed up. Her cries brought M. Clemenceau, who feigned anger, and said: “For your curiosity, you can stay there until tomorrow.” However, ho soon sent his gardener to extricate the inquisitive American.
