America and his own land, George*
Clemenccau last night earns to *i>
end of his “peace mission" and took

He appeared in the grand ballroom
of Hotel Pennsylvania, before 1,30b

for Devastated France. Immediately
utter be had spoken h*- motored to
the steamer Paris, on which he sails
back home today.
The Tiger of France received ova.
tion after ovation—Aral when ha en
tered the hall to the strains of the
"Star Spssagled Baimer," again whon
lie was referred to m an address by
Joles J. June:and, French Ambassa
dor to the United 8tates, again when
he eras Introduced by Owen Wiater
and several times daring hi* brief
talk.
fllem-rccaa .poke only about ten
inmates, explaining ho “was tiled,
l.*d u soic throat, end wanted to go
to bed."
“1 cannot Anil words," he began,
“to express my gratitude for so kind
s welcome.
“I had made up my mind about a
week ago to make hare tonight a
long and elaborate speech to prove
a geat many things that need not
h# nroviil aj\iI to Util vnu manu tkims*.
which yon know u well a3 1 do.
-Why should I speak? I have got
s sort throat, I am tired, l ajn old,
and I want very ranch to go to bed.
“But all this will not prevent me
from saying oner more what I might
lo say I came to thia country to ac
complish a doty which nobody asked
me to accomplish. I came to appeal
to thr American mind, and the an
swer cam* from American hearts.
"*7 dear thands, 1 have'^sen
. row* sMaq la this' bloody craal
war. I am a wttaaaa far them, If they
• need any. I know from the first mo
much longer. Yo* have done splendid
work, a* great I should any or greater
than could be expected from your
con* and brothers and husbands; but
there remained a duty, and tlie great
est part of it was beautifully accom
plished by the ladies tlvrt I have be
side me, wbo with generosly, with
kind haarta toward those who had
suffered to ranch, did more than they
could have been expected to do.
“For thia 1 am not to thank you—
that is not enough. 1 do not beliavs
in reward. 1 thing each good haul
l» Its beet reward to itself.
“I want simply to tel] you that w*»
acknowledge it, and we are eve*'
thankful for ft. When the Americana
came they arised among us great
hapat. Wa had bean promised the end
of the war, pity, generosity, all the
great dreams that man has when pro
menading .With himself funder the
stars. These dreams have never been
realised. Wa were told they wen* go
ing to be and wa all believed It.
"fhit now a sorry time had come.
No more question of killing of dying
of infllctlag 'wound* and bleeding.
Now the time for peace, that is, for
duties which may be harrier than it
scams.
"America left after having (fitjn
Uretted herself from the action of
the treaty. I know the feelings wet
all tight I do not suspect a moment
that there was in American heads
anything than this, that they had
accomplished their duty and could
leave the right to other times
“They thought, seeing the soldiers
coming home, ‘we ora through.’ The
trouble la you went not through; at
least we were not. We wpr* left and
struggled and suffered, and we wer#
not paid, and we have to bow and
•pond money for reparation that Qer
• many ought to have paid, but which
nobody has found wuys to oblige has
to P«f ■ la that way wo suffered and
wo did not complain.
‘‘Bat as far aa I am concerned, I
suffered very much more when I
heard that we were charged with be
ing milltaristie and Imperaitstic In
Amariea and that made me jump tram
my vary pleasant mat on the ocean
and eonut to America to ask you what
was the matter.
"What the matter was, f know It
now. The matter was that you were
not wall Informed. The matter war
that you did not knew what eras our
condition. The matter was that you
thought France was militaristic and

FINAL FORECAST
OF COTTON CROP
SmnllMt In 20 Yean, Euapl
ing Laat Year; Rank*
Fourth In Value
Washington, Dee. 12.—This year's
ration production U the smallest in
•wcr.j-t years, excepting last season's
'.mall crop but based on December 1
farm prices. It Is the fourth most
valuable ever grown with an aggro
,-uta of tl.m,608,9(6, not including
:he value of (Inter cotton a odd cob
oiueeH Which will total many billions
•S dollars more.
The crop this year was placed to
day by the Department of Agricultmrc
in Its final estimate of the season at
1,767,262,000 pounds of lint, which
'* equivalent to 0,964,00 balsa of (00
pound gross weight (487.4 poo ads of
lint and 21.6 pounds of baggtag and
Us* estimated per bale.) Thia final
estimate Is smaller by 171,000 bales
than any of the government's fore
casts of the season mads from con
ation reports doing th« growing ssa
jon.
While Uiee was a Urge acreage in
cotton this year, the boll weevil got
m Its work with extremely heavy 4am
tge and drought In many sections ma
terially assisted In keeping down the
production. South Carolina and Oeor
*m were hardest hit ef any of tha
cotton growing States, their predac
eien being about forty per cent ef
tbe average of the five years, 1918
to 1920.
'-ember 1 avenged 2)1 teals par
pound, which rub fourth highest la
the history of the industry, bel^g ex
'ceded only by the price in 1817, 1818
and 1818.
Statisticians estimate the dimen
sions of this year's crap in hnlao to
be equal to a cube six h usd rod feet
square and m hundred feel high.
The average per running kale this
season is estimated at 808.8 pounds
gross. .
The estimated production by Stutm
follows:
Virginia 25,000,__
South Carolina 880,000.
<e»orgla 721,000.
Florida 20,000
Alabama 835,000.
Misaiamppi 1,010,000.
Louisiana 357,000.
Texas 3,290,000.
Arkansas 3,040,000
Tennessee 400,000.
Mieaeuri 149.000.
Oklahoma 835,000.
California 85,000.
Arizona 42.000.
All other Stages 16,000.
Prior to December 1 there bad been
pinned 0,318,144 running bales, as
announced by the comma bureau. That
would indicate there are approximate
ly 648,000 bales remaining to be gin
ned.
