At a meeting -of the National . Acad

Since the war Hayes, has ' been
striving' to increase the usefulness ot

the destroyer, ; Stewart, the detector
was successfully , used to. plot .the
depths of the ocean-' .between .-.New

in determining the depth of the
water, the device is far more accu

the old method of -dropping a weight.

the most .powerful; in France de

for the future salvation of their
country. .
m it was obvious that Clemenceau
Fran-jwould have to come to America as
; a ' simple French citizen, ' rather than
.las an ofiicial of the French govern -
ment. v France could not ofticially
plead, her cause with the American
peo'ple, especially with an adminis
tration in power which . is on record
as opposing! most of the things that
France stands for. ' ,
There was a marked absence of
official attention when the great war
Premier - embarked - oioiv America at
Havre on Armistice day. While a
France was celebrating the Armis
tice which Clemenceau, perhaps
more than any other man, made
possible not even a subordinate offi
cial of the French government was
at the .dock to bid the fighting states
man God speed.
In America, however, the situation
was different. Ambassador Jusserand
was master of v ceremonies. He was
the first to greet Clemenceau, weK
coming him as a great compatriot.
