' Clemcnceau Sees ' ^ Hope in Policy of President Harding Portion ol President s Annual Message to Congress In terpreted as ‘Overture’ l<y French ‘Tiger.’ M lir.gton. Deo. 9—(Hy A. I*)— 1 :■ cu-s f'lomenceau. closing his visit • lit ton yesterday with a t.ii .I address" exiiressed die hope td. • diplbniac y would find the way •'ring America hack into European ■ i t s through what he Interpreted as • in "overture" by President Harding iu the annual message which the exec utive had read to congTess a few hi um earlier. "I was greatly c omforted." said the v it time premier of France, "when I a read in the message of yc ur president * the following lines. They arc not - very long hut they are very suggest- - ivo. " Tlie four-power pact, which abol ishes every probability of war on the Pacific, liaa brought a new confidence in maintained peace and I can well believe It might be made a model for like assurances wherever in the world any common interests are con cerned.’ ” “So you see," continued die “Tiger," “that even those who are supposed to disagree,really ugreo at the bottom of the feeling and reasoning power. That Is what I ask and I hope this is some thing like an overture; that some light will he coming and I will lie very glad it it comes from America. I hope that diplomacy will have something to say about it and talks may tie engaged in which, I atn sure, can bring nothing hut good for us all.” Speaks With Caution. Clemeneeau'a address, delivered be fore an audience which included many diplomats, government officials and members of both houses of congress was, in its essence, the “peace mes | sage" he first delivered in Chicago, hut apparently sensing that official Washington would judge of him and his mission by this speech, he spoke deliberately and chose his words with great precision. He recited the history of the war paying tribute to the part America played, but declared that the United States had quit too soon, leaving upon i Europe the responsibility for enfold ing the treaty of Versailles which, he said, was largely the work of Amerl ran minds at the peace conference. “My message is peace, he ex claimed, "pence hy any means. Vou have got the league of nations, you have got your three power armament, inu may do something new if you | ike. In-ague Has Dune Much. “Of course the league has the ad vantage that you cun go there, maybe with some reservations to keep your - c self free of its dangers. I do not know, but 1 suggest now that the ' league 1ms done much for Austria and Siberia, and it has done it in a rather good way. I do not know if you have- : an American observer at the league of nations. There must beaomewheie a • man who is watching for you. “I do not ask for money. I ask you after 1 have gone, to think over the matter, to examine as nearly as you can If you have any duty if, liav ing fought for a certain treaty that was brought to you hy President Wilson, your chief, you think your responsibility is engaged. And my dear friends, I know after you have thought of it you will have a feeling that your responsibility is engaged. "No people can live in a state of isolation.

Tour chances of war are diminishing. Would Keep Germans Quiet. "I do not say thht war is coining. I hope it is not. But I do say it looks as though it might tie coming. That is enough to take precaution, if I were to toll you the precaution to, take, if I were to advise you to send soldiers, that might he going very far, ' and 1 do not. "I simply say that if the moral assurance Is given that America does not disinterest herself from the exe cution of the treaty, that is enough. Then tlie Germans w.li k-op quiet. And the Turks—I cannot suffer the Turks; I don't think anyom can. but they, too, would keep quiet. And Russia will understand that if she Wants to come hack to the civilized 1 world she has only to perform civil 1 ized acts." Clemenceau's audience followed him throughout w.th careful alten tion and his address was interspcised 1 with frequent bursts of applause. | Although lie touched lightly on the , charges of “militarism" and "impel I llalisin" against France and re ti laiod ills statement that France had every ! intention of paying its debts to Amer 1 ica, he devoted most of his address to the subject of some turn of American ! intervention—preferably a. tripartite agreement of America, Great Britain and France which, he asserted could rure most of the ills of Hurope. The Tiger boarded his special train shortly after !> this evening to go to l’h ladelphia where lie is scheduled to speak Saturday morning. Chaplin and Negri Wed Rumor at Hollywood New York, Dec. !t.—Instead of wait ing till January, Charlie Chaplin and Tola Negri are already married, ac cording to an intimation from Holly wood revived here by friends of t lie couple.

Former Subjects of 20 Cou n tr ies Become Americans (.hi" of 120 Graduates Into American Citizenship at I n ii snal Commencement Staged in Auditorium. It was commencement. But the (lass of 120 which graduated at the Auditorium I-'iiday night was not the usual class. These were not high school boys and girls, but men and women of mature years, some of them past three score, who were graduated into the highest class of all—American citizenship. And the 120, former subjects of 20 different nations, seated in the front rows, dressed in their best, seemed to feel the honor of their new citi zenshtp, seemed to be inspired with a determination to live up lo it. The Omaha Council of American!' j zation, recently formed by 23 Omaha organlzalitons, at ranged the affair in conjunction with the district court and naturalization bureau.

As the “Star Spangled Banner," was sung by the and once, a great silk flag unfurled front the prosce nium arch, Us full length reaching the floor. Judge Willis <!. Sears presided and made an address. Other short speeches were made by Anan Ray tnnnd. Henry Monsky. Rev. M. A. Stagno. Rev. A. F. Ernst, Henry Wulf, J. Masters. S. R. Elson and E D. White. Receive Certificates. The new citizens marched across the stage and eacl proudly received his handsomely-engraved certificate of full American citizenship from the hands of Sidney Qnttneid'. represent ing the district court, while W Hunt er Reach presented them with a large card describing proper othiuet to the American flag, and the D. A. It. pro sented the Manual of Information for Foreigners. Then n detachment of Boy Scouts came forward with the oath of alle glance and a salute to the flag. The happy affair closed with the s nglng of “America” i>y the audience, led by Charles Gardner.
