GLOWING- TRIBUTE PAID

EFFECT OX PEACE CONFERENCE

(Received 8.55 a.m.)

PARIS, Jan. 21

Tho consensus of opinion is that M. Deschanel's election is of a really representative character. '.'he majority of the newspapers express satisfaction with the result.

Some circles propose to make M. Clemenceau a life Senator, and others suggest presenting him with a large estate and a castle.

M. Poincare, after conferring with M. Deschanel and M. Bourgeois, commissioned M. Millerand to form the Cabinet.

M. Clemenceau will no longer be able to represent. Franco at tho Peace Conference. He says that. Ib> is going to Egypt in a, few days and will remain, there for two months. His departuro will probably entail the break up of the secret conferences of the Council of Three. It is expected th*d Mr Lloyd George and the British mission will soon return to London and will not return until tho political position in France is cleared up. It is thought that the Fiume and Turkish problems and other grave matters are still undecided.

A moving scone oecumd at. tho Elysce when M. Clemenceau handed his resignation to M. Boineare. Tho latter thanked the "Tiger" for his great services. He said: "You galvanised the energies of the country in its difficult hours. Your ti-ejess tenacity made final victory possible," —A. and N.Z.
