M.-CLEMENCEAU.

"LONDON, Feb. 20.

Paris reports that M. Clemenceau passed an excellent night.

On the previous evening, M. Cle menceau was in excellent spirits, and sent a message to Lloyd George, thanking him for his telephonic in- quiries, and saying he was getting on very well. Nevertheless the doc- tors say it is difficult, to make a de- finite statement as to the effects of the wound for two or three days. It is impossible yet to use the X rays.

Mr. Lansing. one of the earliest visitors, said that M. Clemenceau's condition was such that important matters of the Paris Conference could be referred to him without the slightest delay. Moreover, the work of the conference is so well organised that it can continue almost uninter ruptedly.

It is expected that the Council of Ten will meet as usual to-morrow, with M. Pichon or Mr. Balfour pre- siding.
