  We have successfully synthesized a Ba6Ge25 clathrate, substituting 3 Fe per
formula unit by Ge. This chiral clathrate has Ge sites forming a framework of
closed cages and helical tunnel networks. Fe atoms randomly occupy these sites,
and exhibit high-spin magnetic moments. A ferromagnetic transition is observed
with Tc = 170 K, the highest observed Tc for a magnetic clathrate. However, the
magnetic phase is significantly disordered, and exhibits a transformation to a
re-entrant spin glass phase. This system has a number of features in common
with other dilute magnetic semiconductors.
