says the authorities have found a bomb,
to which burning fuse was attached. on
the window sill of the library OF former
President Loubet's villa, where he and
his family are spending their Easter va

nature. Statesmen in London declare
that the attempt is one result of a revo-

NJ Loubet Is the marked victim of the
revolutionists or was attacked by some
misguided emissary of the government.
who imagines the ex-president was encour-
aging the revolution, cannot be told. Since
he entered public life NJ. Loubet has been
attacked so many times by assassins that
he has considered his life in peril con-
shantly. In and out of Office he was out
spoken, and, while he made hosts of the
wsrmest and most loyal friends, developed
an army of the hitterest enemies. He
was an uncompromising foe of anarchists
during all his public career, and for his
attitude they often tried to murder him.
One of the most recent attempts at assas-
sination previous to the present one took
place during the visit of King Alfonso
of Spain to Paris. On that occasion the
king and NJ. Isubet, then president, were
leaving the opera when an anarchist
threw a bomb at their carriage. The Off
Gals were unharmed, but several soldiers
of the guard were killed by the explosion
and many persons in the streets were in
jured. NJ. Loubet retired from the presi-
dency last February, when NJ. Fallieres
was elected to succeed him.
