Paris. Feb. 10. "While I have
said that the war has been won, it
would perhaps be more accurate to
say that there is a lull in the storm,"
said Georges Clemenceau, the
French premier, in .the course of
an interview with The Associated
Press. "At least," he added, "it is
as well to face squarely all the pos
sibilities."
Although Germany had been
meaten militarily and had been
largely disarmed, there still remain

chaotic but. fruitful Russia from
which great help may be drawn by
the Teutons." There would be dan

Third and Chestnut Sts.
MONDAY EVENING,
had voiced recently that whenever
France or any other free people was
menaced the whole world would be
ready to vindicate its liberty.
In the society of nations, said the
premier, each the premier, each
nation must be willing to renounce
its traditional aloofness and be will
ing to employ the national strengtn
outside its own country, both in war
time an din peooe.
"I lived in the *Jaitt<l states in
my young and formative dayys,
said Premier Clemenceau in begin
ning. "Perhaps, therefore, I may
be indulged to say a few words to
our allies on the other side of tne
Atlantic. Not byway of advice or
propaganda, but frankly as friend
to friend.
"The friendship between our peo
ples which has subsisted for a een
turv and a half is a very beiutlful
thing. The like of it has never ex
isted for the same length of time
between any other two peoples.
Prises American Troops
"The entrance of America into
the great War was full of dramatic
interest. The application of na
tional wide conscription without
the slightest disturbance, the uni
versal self denial to supply us with
food and all our requirements, the
unity of purpose and the amazing
energy of 110,000,000 of people of
so varying and complex a character
challenged our admiration and grat
itude. '
"And the way the American sol
diers fought: Nothing could have
been finer. Inspired by the holiest
ideals, 1 may say transfigured, they
entered upon their task with all the
determination, all the fervor, all the
spiritual purpose of the old-time
crusades. They did work!
"And now the war is won. The
world is made safe for democracy,
for life, liberty and the pursit of
happiness, as Jefferson said in the
American Declaration of Independ
ence. And the future Is before us.
What has it in store?
"I am told that some of these
gallant American soldiers, who lived
in trenches, slept in dugouts and
burrowed in the mud in devastated
and war torn France, when they
crossed the Rhine and in an un
devastated land found clean beds
and baths rather regret that they
fought on the side of freedom and
would rather have fought on the
side of the murdering Germans. I
do not believe it. I am sure there
is no American soldier who does
not recognize France, the battle
field of the war, could not give him
the comforts that Germany, un
devastated. was able to. I do not
and will not believe so meainly of
a single one of the brilliant warriors
who came from the states to our aid
in the great strugglef roc vitization
against savagery. It is incredible."

URGES CLOTHES
BE SENT SERBS
Madame Grouitch Here to Aid
Stricken People of That
Country
New York, Feb. to.—"Send a ship
load of clothing to Serbia." is the
plea of Madame Slavko Grouitch,
wife of the minister of this country
from the new kingdom of Serbs,
Croats and Slovenes, who started to
day an organized effort to obtain
from tho American people the ma
terial desperately needed by Ser
bians.
Not only manufactured clothing
[ but cloth by the yard and especially
footwear is desired, according to
|Mme. Grouitch, honorary chairman
of the Serbian Aid Fund Clothing
Committee, which has undertaken
the task of collecting the clothing
and which has its headquarters at
| 338 Madison avenue, this city. Ar
rangements have been made to re
ceive there all express or parcel post
shipments. Transportation to Ser
bia has been arranged through the
Washington legation of the new
Jugo-Slav kingdom.
"In many Serbian families there
is but one wearable garment," said
Mme. Grouitch. "During the war,
Serbia was so nearly inaccessible that
relief work was almost impossible.
Since Serbia is 96 per cent, a farm
ing country, there was little mer
chandise in the whole kingdom, and
the first Austrian invasion of 1914
completely devastated tho richest
quarter. In successive invasions, all
moveable goods, furniture, clothing,
plows and cattle —were stolen, so
that upon their return from exile,
the Serbians found their country
stripped of everything. In order to
live, they must work their farms.
The men are making rude imple
ments and the women trying to
construct looms. But they have no
raw materials with which to work,
and unless clothing is sent in time
for the planting season they cannot
start their crops, and will be faced
by famine.
Preliminaries
of Nations Society
Nearly Completed
Paris. Feb. 10.—"The most im
portant part of the preliminary
work of establishing a society of
nations has been concluded," said
Professor Ferdinand Ixirnaud*,
; dean of the law faculty of the Uni
versity of Paris and. with Deon
Bourgeois, a French delegate on the
commission on a society of nations,
in discussing the work of the com
mission. i
"We have reached the fourteenth
article," he continued, "and we ex
pect to conclude preliminary dis
cussions early next week. The ar
ticle which have been adopted deal
with the desire of the society to pre
vent future wars. What remains
to be investigated concerns interna
tional transportation, commerce
and financial affairs, and we expect
the delegates to agree promptly."
Asked if the departure of Presi
dent Wilson, Premier Lloyd George
and Premier Orlando would affect
the continuance of the commission's
work. Professor Larnaude replied:
"No. the work will go en. Colqgel
House will represent America on the
commission. Lord Robert Cecil will
appear for Great Britain, and Pro
fessor Uhllloga will take the place
of Premier Orlando of Italy." ■

Shaffer's Last
Flight
(Continued From Saturday.)
On® thing: I knew. If I did not
escap® very noon I never would, be
cause I would not have the strength.
Being with the Boche I never gain
e dany. I lost. What I needed was
a rest and a litUe heat In my starved,
skinny and cootie-covered body, so
I eased myself up beside the stove
and stayed there.
Several tjmes I wandered out in
the hallway to hear the latest news;
and see what was going on. Dur
ing one of these trips I met a young
civilian and after talking awhile
with him, he pulled something
stealthily out of his inside pocket
und slipped it to me. It was a
small sweetened roll of white bread
and very good eating. My only re
gret was that there was no more,
but I did not make the mistake of
asking for more.
It was not necessary in my case,
for my whipcord uniform trimmed
with silver buttons made me a
marked man among the other pris
oners whose uniforms of the usual
Poilu wool were both dirty and
shapeless. Not that it was their
fault. For one cannot inhabit
trenches and look presentable. I
just tell you this because you might
think I was conceited enough to
think. it was my personality that
drew all the attention, for draw at
tention 1 did.
Wherever I went some newcomer
would notice the uniform and quick
ly come up and usk for the history
of my capture, and my being an
American only made his pity and
admiration the greater—pity that I
was breliglit down, and admiration
that I was an American volunteer
in the French army.
Several civilians came to see me,
twelve men the ne*t day, keen-eyed
and efficient business men they were,
the usual curiosity as to my being
there was aroused, and they would
have my story.
Gets More Sweet Rolls.
I got several more sweet rolls
that day. and that evening the own
er promised to bring us some real
cats. We stayed here two days, you
know, and this was the second day
I speak of. I forget to say tliat.dur
ing the first night while we all
twelve sat around the red hot stove
having & sock-drying party, the civl-
I iian owner and his little daughter
paid us a visit, bringing us some
I chocolate and some little cakes. Re
member we had been living on black
bread and ''Julian" soup for nearly
a month, and little of that to boot,
und you will get an idea how thank
fully we drank that chocolate and
ate those small cakes.
And the next day a committee of
civilians brought a change of un
derwear for us a much needed
change considering how many cooties
we had, not only us, but all the
prisoners. Of course, there was not
enough to give each a .complete out
fit, so some drew a 'shirt, others
pants and others socks.
- Socks were the most needed article,
as very few had any. Some used
their handkerchief and other®, like
me, cut up their blankets for socks.
They also brought many boxes of
biscuits, but there were so many
prisoners that by the time they were
divided there was only one to a
man. We twelve fared & little bet
ter though, getting one box- for the
whole of us."
, That made about eight biscuit
apiece. I -drew a flannel undershirt
for my share of the change of
clothing, and like the rest, immedi
ately put it on, thinking that now
I had a clean unadulterated shirt
on, the cooties wouldn't .bother me
so much. Which just goes to show
how blissfully ignortant I was, for
the next morning I was scratching as
industriously as before.
The "Eats" Arrive
That evening the promised eats t
arrived —a whole bushel bag full of |
vegetables of every kind, and won-1
der of wonders, several pounds of
domino sugar. How our eyes did |
open when we beheld thatsugar,
for our allowance of sugar had been
so small—one teaspoonful every two
days—that we didn't think there
was so much sugar in all the world.
It was too good to be true and we
would not believe our eyes. Only a
taste would suffice, so each of us
ate a lump. That only made us
hungry for more, so the adjutant
took command and divided it. We
didn't waste any time making the
soup either, for every one pitched
In and helped peel the vegetables,
and soon we had a soup cooking
away that was thick enough to walk
on and it was good eating too.
I was out of luck again, though,
for despite the clean shirt and the
warm tire I was still feeling very
sick. You can imagine how Bick
when I say I could not eat my share
of the soup. However, I guarded my
sugar jealously and my share of the*|
potatoes that had been boiled with'
the skins on, preparatory for the
next day's march. Just the same. 11
had no intention of marching with
the rest in the morning. I was too
sick.
On Sick Roll
The next morning I was worse,
and when we were mustered out in
line to resume our tramp Berlin
ward, with the aid of an interpreter, j
I informed the commander I could
not march. A French adjutant who
had Hurt his knee the night before
also made a holler for the hospital,
so we two were given in charge of
an old grizzled guard to be taken
to a hospital at Xamur, Belgium,
and we were to go by train, too.
To get to the station we had to
walk a considerable distance, but
despite his Wounded knee that fool
ish, spindle-legged Frenchman would
carry all his baggage with him, com
posed of two big boxes, a roll of
blankets and four sacks. Calling him
a fool didn't help any, so I finally
took pity on him and carried several
of his "trunks." for as always I was
traveling light—one sack and my
blanket. Arriving at the station we
had to wait about 15 minutes for the
train, and while waiting there, a
pretty Belgium woman noticed my
uniform and immediately came over
and inquired our history and where
we were going, she was moved to
pity by tle story of our sufferipg
and gave me a sack containing some
two quarts.of small biscuits. *
Not content with that she hunted
up her husband and he grave us each
a pack of cigarets. Mine was not any
use to me, AS I don't smoke so I
stuck them in my pocket until I
would meet some of my comrades
who did. And what do you think
that Frpnch adjutant did with his?
—opened them up and offered them
to several Boche sitting along side
of ua •
After that I knew he was weak in
the head, and told him about it, but
It did not do any good. Just because
n Boche spoke French to the effect
that he hoped peace was not far off,
was no reason 'why he should be
treated like a friend. Not to my way
of thinking, anyway.
For Allies, Not Boelie
Vn.'jrtunntely, I did not know
enough French to thoroughly ex
press my feelings, but I did make
that erring Frenchman understand
that those clgarets had been given
for he and his comrades and not for
the Boche. About this time the kind
and pretty madamo canto back and
opening her handbag, disclosed a
quart or more of little biscuits..
These she gave mo also, affd seeing
a Russian sitting on the other side
of the room drinking coffee, she
went over to him and made him
divide up with us.
Kinder people I have yet to see,
i besides they braved the danger of
the guards in doing these things for
it was always a question just how
far a guard would let them go.
The old boy we had though was
pretty reasonable and as long as we
didn't make any break for liberty,
he let us do as we pleased. So we
sat and talked to these two Bel
gians. or rather, they talked and I
listened.
But although I could pot do
i much of the talking myself, I could
get the drift of what they were say
ing, and their story was everv bit as
Interesting as ours, and filled with
as much suffering, if not more. The
woman herself hath been put in pris
on for some time for resisting the
including advances of a Boche officer,
and both of them had been there at
Dinant when the Boche came
through in 1914.
All the world has heard how they
lined up the people and amused
themselves by spraying them with
machine gun bullets and burned
most of the town, so I won't repeat
tho horrors. Anywav, our train ar
rived about that time and we all
piled aboard. Crowded into a box car
filled with Booite soldiers we started
on our way to Namur.
It was still ruining as hard as the
day I was drenched in that 20-mile
tramp, but that did not spoil any of
the scenery. Not when one sees it
from a car window. It was beautiful
scenery too, and some day I'm going
back and see it right—ln a Ford.
