THE “ TIGER’S ” MEMOIRS
VIEWS OF ENGLAND. (United Press Association.— By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.! (Received this dav at 8.30. a.m.) PARIS, December 15. In a series of talks collected and just published by M. Clemenceau’s former Secretary, Jean Harter, Clemeneeau referring to England says :— I ‘■‘She is a very great lady, reserved and cruel, but not without charm. England pci haps' is a country who has ruled leer than any other. Unfortunately she now showing a sort of enfeeblement or lassitude. She is a conqueror no longer. She lives up to conquest. What can we expect. Her history has lasted too long. The English have three kind of enemies. Firstly their avowed enemies but thev are not the most to be feme!. Secondly their dominions, their family in Asia, Africa, and Australia, are beginning to be restless and kick her from behind.
Finally the English themselves. They-don’t put up the same fight as a centurv ago, there is something they are gradually losing.”
