Chicago, Nov. 27. Georges Clem

than half a century ago, and found
that It, like himself, had grown to
great stature and International fame.

The Tlgsr of France coming to de

American sentiment for his country,
was accorded a demonstrative wel
come to Chicago. It started when
his private car pulled into union
station and did not end until the
doors of the Potter Palmef mansion
on Lake Shore drive had closed be-j
hind him.
'The, old war premier was met by
a 'committee headed by General
Pershing and Brigadier General
Charles O. Dawes, formers director
of the budget at Washington. They
led him through a lane of bluecoata
to an open car and drove to city hall
where Mayor William Hale Thomp
son welcomed him on behalf of
Chicago.
Escorted By Cavalry. 1
The Tiger was escorted uptown by
a troop of cavalry from Fort Sheri
dan. Beside him rode General Persh
ing. Others In his car were Brigadier
General Jacob M. Dickinson, former
secretary of war, and Col. Stephen
Bonsai, tour conductor.
Jackson boulevard and T-a Salle
street, along which the procession
moved, were lined with people some
silently curious, others wildly dem
onstrative. Aa the Tigar turned Into La Salle
street, the crowds there burst Into
steady cheering.' Men and women In
sky-scraper windows showered him
with torn paper and ticker tape. Here
the mounted police and motorcycle
men experienced difficulty In re
straining the crowds, which con
tinually broke through the lines and
ran cheering toward his oar. Police
reserves used their clubs In vain and
members of the btjmb squad riding
in a car directly behind the Tier
leaped out with riot guns to drive
tha crowd back.
Another huge crowd was massed
about thsclty hall and the police
were ohltged to smash a passageway

"I am very proud to welcome you

"Thank you." Clemenceau answered.
No Sunshine Plenty Moonshine.

"I suppose they will blame me for

the mayor said. .
"W have plenty of moonshine, but

Dickinson.
The party remained in Mayor
Thompson's office only a few minutes,
returning to their cars to drlvo to
the Potter "Palmer home, where
Clemenceau is to stay during his two

The cavalcade passed again through
dense crowds to Michigan boulevard,
and out tho boulevard to Lake Shore

glaring "minute flares", and still
camera men with huge charges of
flashlight powder added color to the
drive through the darkening city.
As Clemenceau's car turned Into

RUSSIANS ARE MILDER
M. Rahovsky Brings a Message of
Peace and Good Will and Tries
to Give Impression That All
Russia Bachs Him.
Lausanne. Nov. J7. (By Associat
ed Press.) America's Insistent for
the open door and equality, economl-!
cany, in me near east, which follows
her traditional demand for qual
commercial privileges In the far east,
was cited today by the Russian dele
gation as supporting an official
communication forwarded by the
Russian delegation to the conference
asking for the right of speech on all
matters before that body.
Russia objects vigorously to any
attempt to limit her activities in the
discussion of the future status of the
Dardanelles; she claims that all
topics on the Iyusanne agenda are
closely related to the supreme object
of freedom of the straits and that
stable peace in the near east can be
attained only by allowing the Rus
sian delegates free participation on
the same basis as the other great
powers.
In their official petition the Rus
sians affirm that only by following
the principle of equality can the
conference, hope to reach the goal of
greater equity In the relations be
tween nations "a wish expressed at
the opening of the conference and
confirmed by the recent declaration
of th representatives of th United
States."
,TJ. S. Policy Indorsed.
Discussing the Russian petition to
night, M. R&kovsky, president of
th Ukraine republic, said to th
Associated Press -correspondent;
"W are gla tha Jtmited Statoa-xnade

treaties agreement; we heartily en

spoke of tha necessity of building up
a foundation Of greater equity in

consider that he was endorsing our

Wednesdny Afternoon.
(Br Anoelsted Pres.)
Washington, Nov. 87. Thirty-seven
shots in ths shaps of amendments
were fired at th administration ship
ping bill In tha house today and six
hit spots more or less vital.
At adjournment tonight th bill
had covered exactly one-third of Its
tempestuous voyage toward th en
ate. Representative Graham of Illi
nois, a Republican, went home with
three of tho half dozen amendments
in hi shooting bag, all of which were
put through with the aid of Republi
can votes.
Early in tho fight Representative
Edmonds, Pennsylvania, ranking Re
publican of th merchant marine
committee, which framed the bill, for
mally announced on the floor that the
section under which the Standard Oil
company, for example, would share in
the government subsidy for trans
porting Its own goods In Its own
ships, would be stricken out bodily.
Thl In the view of western Republi
cans, added to Its chance of passage.
Aa Important Amendment.
Rated as the most Important
amendment to stand up was the Gra
ham proposal which out out of the
bill tha provision under which ship
per, (ending their goods abroad. In
American vessels, would receive a
five per cent Income tax rebate, which
In some Instances, It was charged in
ths house, would have enabled some
shippers to escape all payments. It
was adopted by a vote of 60 to 47,
after it had been characterised by
Mr. Graham as "vicious' and extreme
ly dangerous."
Stepping In unexpectedly, Repre
sentative Oliver, Democrat, Alabama,
presented sn amendment, acceptance
of which virtually fixed an upset
price for the sale of the steamship
Leviathan, the biggest of the govern
ment fleet. This provided that th
Leviathan, now being reconditioned,
should not be sold at a price less
than th cost of rseondlttonlng. Pr
el., flgtuea Detained - tonight from
tha appropriation committee showed
that this cost was I8,H,000. First
declared defeated, th Oliver proposal
won, 81 to 78, by a man to man
oount as members marched down the
aisle.
The fight to riddle the bill was be
gun five minutes after the actual
reading started. On his feet first,
Mr. Graham put forward an amend
ment to strike out a section permit
ting the shipping board to sell ships
without advertisement or competitive
sale. Declaring that the worst scan
dal In th government reached Irlto
th sal of vast surplus stock "by
negotiated sales," Mr. Graham called
upon Republicans to take th section
and throw It out
Representative Mondell, Wyoming,
tha Republican leader, asserted that
while he saw no reason why It ahould
not remain, he was not opposed to Its
elimination. Mr. Edmonds also took
this view. A dosen member wer
eager to discuss It, but a vots was
demanded and the motion was adopted
almost unanimously.
The other Graham amendment In
creased the rate of Interest on un
paid balances for ships bought from
th government from not less than
four per cent to not less than four
and one-qunrter per cent. Represen
tative Frear, Republican, Wisconsin,
sought to make it six per cent flat,
but failed.

Washington, Nov. 27. Midshipmen
from the Naval academy who cele
brated over-lndulgently after the an
nual Army-Navy football game Sat
urday were held up to publlo scorn
todsy by Secretary Denby In one of
tho moat stinging rebukes ever ad
ministered by a secretary of the
navy. s
Many members of the corps. MY.
Denby declared In a public state
ment, not only disgraced themselves
and tha uniform but their conduct at
a ball which followed the game In
Philadelphia brought such ahame up
on the academy itself aa it never had
known before.
Th secretary said he did not know
how many of the midshipmen
"drank heavily." and was convinced
that the great majority conducted
themselves with propriety. But he
added that enough of them had
failed In their duty "to bring shame
upon all." He announced that an
Investigation would be begun at
once, and that steps would be taken
to Insure that "such an occurrence
will never be repeated."
None of the guilty were named in
the secretary's Indictment, nor did
It appear certain tonight that the de
partment would find It possible to
single out any individual midship
men for punishment. It was Indi
cated that the . inquiry probably
would tske the dlreellon of a gen
eral effort to establish what the con
ditions were that made the incident
possible, and that any disciplinary
action probably would fall upon the
entire Annapolis establishment In

uiucors or me army and navy, at'
it was said today that the war da.
partmnt had no Information that
any of the cadets from West Point
conducted themselves Improperly.
The cadets did not remain for the
evening's festivities.
Still another spectator at th gam
was Acting Commissioner Jones of
the prohibition bureau. H likewise
declared he had observed no Viola
tion of the Volstead law and had
taken no steps to Investigate reports
that the atatuta had been broken. He
Indicated, however, that Stat Prohi
bition Director Davis, of Pennsyl
vania, probably would make an In
vestigation on hia own Initiation.
Secretary Denby said In response
to Inquiries that he, would not bring
up at the cabinet meeting tomorrow
the question of the relationship be
tween the midshipmen's conduct and
prohibition. Hs drew a sharp line
of demarcation, and said that the
Investigation to be conducted would
btf-baaed on a matter of military dis
cipline entirely.
Denhy's Statment.
Seoretary Denby'a statement fol
lows: "My attention, has been called to
the misconduct of a number of mid
shipmen from the naval academy on
Saturday night last after the Army
Navy game. I have no desire to
minimise In any way the fact that
many of the midshipmen did disgrace
themselves and bring disgrac upon
the naval academy for I know It to
be true. I am shocked beyond
measure that such things could hav
occurred. The misconduct on that
occasion was ss far as I know ths
most flagrant that has ver been
charged against the academy. How
many mldshlnmen drank hBViiv i a
not know. The whole regiment was
in rniiadelphla. Only a relatively
small proportion of the regiment at
tended the ball. Of this proportion I
think the great majority conducted
themselves with propriety. But
enough failed of their duty to their
uniform and to their country to btlng
shame upon all. Such an occurrence
will never be repeated for such steps
as are necessary will bs taken to
make It Impossible In the future.
"In this connection I wish to make
quite clear that the naval academy
has hitherto set an example to the
country of good conduct upon such
occasions and will set that example
In the future. I was so proud of them
at the game which was one of th
most thrilling I hav ever seen, and
where I aawebeolutely no evidence
of drinking among the midshipmen

came a an ahsoluts shook. When I

World Is Tired of Killing
London, Nov. 27. (By Associaied
Press.) -Col. Clsorge Harvey. the
American ambassador, speaking , at
the Forum cluh tonight, alluded to
what he called "the cummonpluceness
of great events." He pointed out that
during th past six weeks there4iad
been a general cleclion In KiiKland,
tremendous events In the near east,
with th deposition of the head of
one of the greatest religious sects of
the world, the fascist I revolution In
Italy and other Important occurrences,
and. he added, ''upon my word, we
have paid not much attention to any
of them."
Even more remarkable, there had
been no bloodshed. Ho deducted from
this that the world was tired of
killing and that It would be Impos
sible to create another groat war
for years to com, because the peo
ple would not have It.
"A dominion of common sense has
come over the world," he declared.
"The British and American people
were never since the civil war as
free from resentful feeling as today,"

Washington, Nov. 27. The Tiger of'
France again came under fire In th
senate today when his utterances on
his tour oi the United States were the :
subject of a conflicting debate which
was enlivened by an Interruption
from the galleries by a negro soldier.
Senator Hitchcock, Democrat. Ne
braska, former chairman of the for
eign relations commitee, led off In th
debate with an attack on M. Clemen
ceau and of French policies and wa
Joined In the criticism by other sen
ators, while Senator Myers, Democrat,
Montana, came to the defense of th
sged French statesman. Senator
Owen, Democrat, Oklahoma, also ex
pressed sympathy with M. Clemen
ceau' mission to America but crlti-
cised French policies.
H was ouring Mr. Hitchcock' at
tack upon the war-time premier In
connection with alleged atrocities of
hlack French colonials In Germany,
that the negro soldier, who later gave
him name as Lucius Jones, a patient
at a government hospital near her,
rose In the gallery and sought to
question the senator. Vice-President
Coolldge banged the gavel and sen
ale attendants rushed forward and "
restrained tha man, so thst the ques
tion was never asked, but excitement
prevailed In the senate.
Negro Returns t Gallery.
Tha negro soon left the galleries,
but returned for the rest of th de
bate, while Senator Hefllti, Democrat,
Alabama, Incensed at whst he termed
wss an "insult" to th senste, de-
manded ,the man'a expulsion There

bama senator shouted, declaring that
In th past while women had been
ejected from the galleries of both th
senate and house for Interrupting

Senators Curtis, Republican, Kaa
aas, and Hitchcock, however, express
ed tha belief that th negro had act

th statements ot M. Clemen- '
ceau In reference to the 'quartering
of French "black troops" on th

attacked the French reparation de
mands on Germany.
Senator Myers, In defending M.
Clemenceau, deplored Senator Hitch
cock's criticism of the French states
man and commended French policies
toward Germany. Senator Owen, al
though criticising French policies,
expressed sympathy with M. Clemen
ceau's mission, saying th visitor was
"making a pathetic appeal to Amer
ica." He declared, however, that M.
Clemenceau was largely responsible,
through the Versailles treaty, for
present European difficulties and nr..
dieted that the American people would
