UTAH KILL GUARD AND Seasonable Woes SAYS FAREWELL GET CASH AT MINT FUR TIGER DECLARES AGAINST THER OCCCUPATION OF GERMANY IN LAST STATEMENT rHREE BANDITS OPEN FIRE ON FEDERAL RESERVE TRUCK New York Georges Clemenceau, the "Tiger" of France, symbolized the dove of peace when he sailed for home Just before noon Wednesday on the liner Paris. He declared against further occupation of Germany ty French troops, saying that "no real Frenchmen wants to annex a foot of German territory." Enrapped in a fur collored great coat, with his now famous soft felt hat pulled down over his ears, the French premier waved nn affectionate farewell to the land that he said he would never see again. Whether or not Mr. Clemenceau was successful In his pariotlc efforts to draw Europe and America closer together in international friendship Is not certain, but there was no doubt about his own personal popularity ns a vast throng of Americans and French residents crammed the French liner pier, cheering, shouting farewells and waving hats and handkerchiefs. Women, overcome by emotion, sobbed. Three weeks of continuous travel and speech making had left little mark of fatigue upon the statesman. His eye was bright, his step alert, and his voice vigorous as he spoke. Tremendous importance was attached to an exclusive statement on French policy made by M. Clemenceau, before he sailed. The former premier, who Is still a power in French poltics, said : "I do not want to see the French army go into the Ruhr. I fear the consequences of such a move. I am afraid of the effect of such occupation upon the German democracy, already bearing a heavy burden and having a hard struggle with the Junkers. No real Frenchman wants to annex a foot of German territory."

Members of the , British cabinet are understood to be angry over the unbending polcy of Premier Tolncnre of France which was re sponsible for the breakdown of the meeting here on Monday.

Lausanne, European diplomats ga thered here believe that :he admission of Turkey to the league of nations will impart new vigor and a new meaning to that organization. From the beginning of the Near Eastern confer-onc- e Turkish leaders have stressed their desire1 to westernize their country, and European statesmen are convinced that cooperation by Turk in the league's affairs would prove an important step in the maintenance of eneral peace. The thoroughly Occidental aspect ot the majority of the Turkish deletes has impressed everyone attending the conference. Some members of the delegation remain loyal to the fez, but generally the men from Angora and Constantinople present an appearance as smartly western as that of any oi the European diplomats. Several of the Turkish delegates are there with their wives, who are fashionably gowned in the latest Parisian modes and are the center of interest at the afternoon teas in the Lausanne hotels. A foreigner who engages a Turk In conversation will learn sooner or later during their chat that Turkey first of all wants complete sovereignity over the Ottoman territory nnd that secondly, Turkey desires to become, a real member of the league of nations.
