DIED IN HIS BOOTS
WORKING UNTIL THE END
PAEIS, 25th November. During recent years M. Clemenceau never undressed or went to bed. He simply took off his collar and threw himself on a hard mattress, on boards, ready in the event of insomnia to rise and continue his work of writing Thus it may be said he literally died in his boots. Interment will be carried out without religious service or ceremony of any kind. The grave will be dug by his own chauffeur. Nobody but relatives and villagers will be- admitted to the ground. The police are assisting in the desire to preserve the closest secrecy by stopping motor traffic to the village. Nevertheless, salutes will be fired throughout France to-mor-row.
